2019 CMT Music Awards at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee - June 5, 2019

[tunespeakapp]

Dierks Bentley: 9/14/24 “It was my second time seeing Grammy nominated, ACM, CMA, CMT winner and Opry member Frederick Dierks Bentley 48 from Phoenix Arizona LIVE. The first was at the Blind Horse Saloon during the ‘Beers On Me Tour’ in 2021 toward the tail end of the pandemic where Bentley packed 2,000 maskless fans into the tiny Greenville venue. The weather was perfect for an evening featuring full sets by three Country Music artists, Hurricane Francine having since past with its remnants remaining stalled over Memphis. I had entered a contest on Bentley’s Facebook Page back in June granting one winner a pair of tickets. On August 30th I received an email that I was the solo winner out of 167,180 entries and to claim my seats at will call under the artist’s guest list. The 31-stop ‘Gravel And Gold Tour’ which began in Fort Worth and ends in Milwaukee made its 28th stop at Simpsonville’s outdoor amphitheater. The tour is Bentley’s 16th major tour and brings with it all the bells and whistles with a 6-man band and 55 crew members. With 10 albums in his 23-year career with 41 charted singles including 18 #1s, the headliner’s set list was bound to deliver all the favorites. Arriving early I stood just outside the gates to hear the VIP Pre-Show acoustic mini-set. Upon entry and claiming my 10th row center seat I walked up to take in a close-up of the stage. The stage featured an E-shaped rear riser featuring a center ramp and two end ramps ending in sets of stairs. A small pit separated the reserve seating from the stage. 100+ lights enclosed the stage on the top and sides. The drumhead featured the tour logo ‘DIERKS BENTLEY GRAVEL & GOLD 2024 TOUR’ as well as the translucent video wall in the forefront. At 6:56 p.m. the stage lights illuminated as the first opener Tanner Usrey and his 4-man band took to the stage to the recorded sounds of Guns N’ Roses ‘Welcome To The Jungle’. It was my second time in 8 days seeing Tanner perform LIVE, the first was in Columbia with Koe Wetzel. Beginning with ‘Blackberry Wine’ from the Twisters Movie Soundtrack the Country/Southern Rock/Americana singer from Prosper Texas was off to a 30 minute / 6 song set. ‘My name’s Tanner Usrey from Texas, thanks for being here.’ Usrey drew the majority of his material from his lone studio album ‘Crossing Lines’ 2023 released on Atlantic Records. The set unlike Columbia’s which featured a cover of Rod Stewart’s Faces ’Stay With Me’ ended with a rousing version of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘The Chain’. Tanner quit his job in 2019 starting off all on his own pounding the pavement for gigs and put 100K on his van in the first year and a half. He’s certainly paid his dues and has proven to be a worthy opener for the likes of Dierks and Koe! After a rather quick stage turn the lights went down to the recorded sounds of Ed Sheeran’s ‘BLOW’. A LB logo designed to look like a Lee jeans back pocket patch appeared on the video wall and two smaller screens to the left and the right illuminated to follow the LIVE action footage. ACM and CMA award winning Singer/Songwriter Kenneth Mobley Brice Jr 45 from Sumter South Carolina with 5 studio albums with 21 singles including 8 #1s took the stage for a 1 hour / 10 song set. Besides his own material, he has also co-written singles for artists like Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and the Eli Young Band. His ‘More Than a Memory’ recorded by Brooks became the first song ever to debut at number one. Beginning with ‘Soul’ a top 20 hit from 2021 we were off to an evening of all-charted singles. Lee wearing a WAYLON cap and guitar strap which read ‘Words Fail Music Speaks’ quickly won over his home State crowd. ‘It is so hood to be back in my home state!’ The set featured a total of 6 number ones including ‘I Don't Dance’ ‘Hard To Love’, ‘I Drive Your Truck’ dedicated to our military and first responders, ‘Rumor’, and ‘One Of Them Girls’. The sixth was ‘I Hope You're Happy Now’ a number one for Carly Pearce which she invited him to sing with her. ‘If y’all know it I’m gonna need you girls to maybe take care of her part cause I can’t exactly fold her up and put her in my back pocket and take her around the country with me.’ Brice was both tough and tender. One of the more tender moments were when he utilized the video screens to backlight his silhouette looking toward the audience as the amphitheater illuminated with cell phone lights. Another was his solo piano work on ‘I Don’t Dance’ exclaiming, ‘What a beautiful night y’all, come on.’ Mid-set Brice switched guitars, his strap in Clemson orange and purple revealing his football number ’55’. Lee attended Clemson University on a football scholarship. He played special teams there as the long snapper, but after an arm injury, he decided to focus on a country music career. Brice has come full circle playing a full set of all hits in his home state, a great evening for the local performer achieving stardom status. A half hour stage turn uncluttered the stage set leaving only Bentley’s equipment and amps in the forefront. At 9:11 p.m. the lights went dark as the lights lit up all red, the sounds of a plucking banjo made the mood complete. The center of the video wall opened up in all white light as Dierks made his appearance slowly walking down the ramp and taking his rightful place front and center. Beginning with ‘Gold’ the only song from the latest release bearing the tour’s name Dierks was off and running to an hour and thirty-five minute / 18 song set. It’s lyrics ‘I got some rust on my Chevy but it's ready to roll’ sent a clear message that the artist was speaking of himself metaphorically. The next song ‘Lot Of Leavin Left To Do’ with a dueling acoustic guitar match with Ben Helson continued the irony. ‘How we doin tonight Greenville? Simpsonville, I guess is the new hot spot in Greenville.’ In ‘I Hold On’ Bentley held up and kissed ‘this here flat top guitar’. He swapped out the lyrics, ‘singing every country song’ to ‘singing every Lee Brice song’ and challenged the audience to sing their loudest to the song’s chorus. He paused to honor his VIPS in attendance, his Aunt Barbie, his friend George, and his banjo player’s daughter Sidney. ‘I got family in the front row, it’s a big show.’. ’To get this party up to the next level, I’m gonna have to trade this instrument for my preferred instrument where I do my best work.’ “Nobody plays the red solo cup like I do.’ The song was ‘Am I The Only One’ with a mash of Toby Keith’s ‘Red Solo Cup’. 16 keg shaped mini-video screens made the song come alive. Bentley called for a beer shot-gunning contest choosing a representative from each side of the audience, one male and one female. Turning over the discarded cans, the man was the clear winner as he drained the remaining contents of each to the floor of the stage. ‘It’s 2024 everybody gets a medal’ he determined! The hits rolled on, ‘Living’ and ‘Say You Do’ a pair of number ones, and ‘Burning Man’ and ‘Gone’ a pair of number twos. ‘Do you guys like the blue-grassy more country stuff?’ Bentley asked as he positioned banjo and fiddle to his left and guitar and bass to his right. His cover of Tom Petty’s ‘American Girl’ which he recently recorded for the country tribute album ‘Petty Country’ would determine the answer to the question. The sole answer only spoke to who the American Girl was, not the style of music, ’I’m pretty sure she’s a South Carolina Girl!’ ‘Black’ was performed behind a special effect video wall, and ‘Up On The Ridge’ mashed in New Grass Revival’s ‘Callin' Baton Rouge’. Charlie Worsham (former Old Crow Medicine Show) took the lead, and the band took over the spotlight leaving Dierks in the dark. Dirks called for a humbs up or thumbs down vote between him and the band, then introduced them one by one. Likening the all-Nashville band to the 6 players of a hockey team there was Charlie Worsham on guitar and mandolin; CMA Fiddle Player Of The Year Dan Hochhalter on guitar and fiddle; Tim Sergent on 5-string banjo, pedal steel, lap steel, and dobro; team goalie Steve Misamore on drums; and Cassady Feasby on bass. Bentley introduced himself as the obvious team’s center. A trio of number ones ended the regular set, ‘5-1-5-0’, ‘Somewhere On A Beach’ and ‘What Was I Thinkin’ his first #1 released back in 2003. A mash-up of ‘Beers On Me’ was interwoven. As road attendants tossed cans of Bud Lites from the wings Dierks caught them all one-handed without dropping a single one and tossed them out to folks in the front row of the pit for a toast. Thanking the crowd, he exited the stage leaving the lights dimmed obviously for an encore. The stage lights brightened to all blue as Bentley reappeared dressed in an airline captain’s hat and jacket with aviator glasses. Taking his place a top a on a scissor-riser center stage with a backdrop of an airplane’s cockpit and instrument panel he performed ‘Drunk On A Plane’ tossing out Mardi Gras beads into the audience. Exiting the stage the second time the band reappeared entering from the center of the video wall resembling the side door of a van as their alter egos ‘Hot Country Knights’. Dressed in colorful 90’s clothing, tight jeans and wearing wigs, dancing about with a headless bass and keytar as instruments they performed a medley of all 90’s covers [.T-R-O-U-B-L-E / I Like It, I Love It / Meet In the Middle / Little Rock / Heads Carolina, Tails California / Achy Breaky Heart / Man I Feel Like a Woman / Friends in Low Places]. The over-the top ending brought down the house leaving folks in all smiles and laughter as we exited the venue back to the future with a renewed sense of hope drawn from our past!” Review and photo by DAve (Concerts #928-930)

False labeling, misreads anonymous bylines...

A1 story said the city of Austin "was expected to make arguments in court Tuesday" on confidential police files, *which was true when the story was pubbed online April 3.*

But the hearing was canceled on Friday, which our striking reporter learned that day.

He wasn’t told the story would run Monday.

Falsely labeling network reporters as staff writers:

Our B1 story on Sunday gave “Austin American-Statesman” bylines to two reporters for the @Tennessean.

This misleads readers into thinking Austin-based journalists were behind the content

The Austin American-Statesman's usual bylines were noticeably absent from coverage during the eclipse, the CMT Music Awards and Cap10K.

The local newspaper's journalists return to work today after a four-day strike as contract negotiations with owner Gannett stall.

Another Gannett newsroom, the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, also timed a strike with the eclipse.

Why it matters: It's the latest maneuver by the Austin NewsGuild, which represents Statesman journalists, to push for a higher wage floor in their contract with Gannett.

Statesman journalists had been gearing up for coverage of the historic solar event — a moment that would usually bring around-the-clock coverage, photos and a collectible front page.

What they're saying: Gannett "has consistently slow-walked negotiations and offered a series of bad-faith proposals," the Austin NewsGuild said in a press release last week.

In response to the strike, Gannett posted temporary Austin-based jobs on its site.

Between the lines: Gannett has seen its fair share of union protests in the past few years amid efforts to consolidate in the wake of its 2019 merger with GateHouse, writes Axios' Sara Fischer.

Last year, hundreds of Gannett journalists across two dozen local newspapers, including in Austin, went on strike during the company's annual shareholder meeting to protest job cuts. Gannett has cut roughly half of its workforce since the GateHouse merger.

The other side: "I think the Guild, unfortunately, plays dirty and lies to our employees," Gannett CEO Michael Reed told Axios at the annual Mather Symposium on media in Atlanta last month.

In response to his comments, NewsGuild-CWA president Jon Schleuss said in a statement to Axios: "Gannett's last SEC filing showed Mike Reed making 66 times that of a median employee, while paying journalists poverty wages, cutting an average of 2,800 jobs a year and hiring lawyers to stonewall workers at the bargaining table."

Artists Of The Year 2022 Presented By MSR

So today I will be my annual Artist of the Year for the year 2022 presented by MSR (Midnight Star Report). We have been doing this since 2018. This year there are 10 artists in Country Music we will be talking about their year. So let's get started right now.

The first of the 10 artists that we will talk about for this year's honor is Kenny Chesney. This is Kenny Chesney 1st time being named one of my artist of the year. Kenny Chesney had a perfect swan song for the end of his career with "Knowing you" which topped the list 3 times total. But then there was a song with Kelsea Ballerini titled "half of my hometown" which topped the charts 3 times total. Up next we will talk about the year for the next Artist of the year for 2022 in Jimmie Allen.

Jimmie Allen had released a lot of music in 2022. I did 2 CD reviews for him in 2022 and this is Jimmie Allen's first artist of the year on my list. Jimmie Allen teamed up with Brad Paisley on a track "Freedom was a highway" which topped the charts 3 times total. And most recently Jimmie Ended the with "Down home" being the final regular number 1 for CMT (Country Music Television) and gaining another time at the top on the charts for a total of 2 times. And that is at the time of writing this which gives Jimmie Allen a total of 5 times at the top. The next artist of the year for 2022 that we will talk about is Miranda Lambert.

Miranda Lambert had a good year in 2022 which earned her first ever artist of the year. Miranda Lambert teamed up with Elle King on her track "Drunk (And I don't wanna go home)" which topped the charts 3 times total. Then Miranda's song "If I was a cowboy" CMT kept pushing up their charts which helped Miranda earned her first ever artist of the year on my list. Miranda Lambert had 4 times total at the top. Up next we will talk about one of the special mentions for Artist of the year in 2022 which is Cody Johnson.

Cody Johnson will not be a special mention for artist of the year in 2022. He will be an artist of the year as well. Cody had the song of the year, and in fact on CMT Year-end video Countdown, He has the number 1 video for the year 2022 with the huge hit "'Til you can't". The song topped the charts a total of 8 times and he was the leader until later in the year for total times at the top. I just hope the song isn't too much to overcome when comparing his other singles that he will put out in the future. Up Next we will talk about a 4 time artist of the year in Thomas Rhett.

Thomas Rhett has been an artist of the year on this list in 2018, 2020, 2021, and now 2022. Thomas Rhett topped the charts with a song titled "Slow down Summer" and that was for 1 time total. Thomas teamed up with Riley Green on a song titled "Half of me" which topped the charts a total of 2 times. Thomas Rhett isn't the only Artist to be a 4 time Artist of the year. Let's talk about the year for Luke Combs up next.

Luke Combs has a more quiet year with raising his new kid. But he still made some noises on in the year 2022. Luke has been an artist of the year every year since 2019. So that's 2019 to 2022. Luke first topped the charts this year with a track titled "Doin' this" and that was 3 times total. And then Luke topped the charts this year once again with the track "The kind of love we make" which was 2 times totals. And if you want to hear a version of that song with Riley Green performing it, and he did it on CMT Artist of the Year special 2022. Up next I want to talk about the year for Cole Swindell.

Cole Swindell really took his year up with teaming up with his friend Lainey Wilson on the track "Never say never" and that track topped the charts 6 times total. And then Cole brought in the 90's vibes with his single "She had me at heads Carolina". And he even did a version with Jo dee Messina at the CMA Awards this year. And "She had me at heads Carolina" has topped the charts a total of 6 times and is still going strong today as well. Cole had a total of 12 times topping the charts. And up next let's talk about the 2nd special mention Artist of the year in 2022 which is Mitchell Tenpenny.

Mitchell Tenpenny had a banger of a year in 2022. Mitchell released a new cd titled "This is heavy". Mitchell had 2 songs going towards the top around the same time. The first was with Chris Young titled "At the end of a bar" which topped the charts a total of 2 times. The second was titled "Truth about you" which only topped the charts 1 time. But it has put Mitchell on our radar now. We have 2 artist of the year left before we go. Up next is a 3 time Artist of the year in Kane Brown.

Kane Brown is a 3 time artist of the year 2019, 2020, & now 2022. Kane had a really good year in 2022. Kane released "One Mississippi" off of his new album "Different man" which topped the charts a total of 2 times. But then he brought out the 90's vibes just like Cole on the track "Like I love Country Music" which mentions a lot of our favorite artists. "Like I Love Country Music" topped the charts 5 times total. But if we had 1 artist to sum up this year in 2022 and totally be the artist of the year that would be Morgan Wallen.

Morgan Wallen had a hell of a year in 2022. After everytime that happened in 2021 for this artist. He truly made up for loss time. And with that Morgan earned his second artist of the year in 2022 (The first being in 2019). Morgan first topped the charts with the song "Sand in my boots" which was 3 times total. And he earned his artist of the year with the song "Wasted on you" which topped the charts a total of 7 times. But then he became the artist of the year is 2022 for sure with "You proof" a total of 16 times topping the charts.

And that is the wrap for the 10 Artists of the year in 2022. I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this special report. And I would like to thank my beautiful wife @KrystaMousey for working on my blogs. And I want to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, if this blog is posted in time. Thank you for all you do. See ya all next time.

I thought if he was performing at an Awards show he went a day early.

2017 June CMT he was there a day ahead

2018 April ACM they were in LV on 12. G had her LV announcement and ACM wasn’t until 15.

2018 June everyone was in OK and went back to LA and B went day of CMT even 5th.. Actual awards were 6th

2019 ACM April GB were in LV the day before

2019  Nov he had Voice so they left right after Voice for CMT the next day

I hope that them going today to Austin instead of waiting until tomorrow means that Blake is going to do media interviews today. They traditionally do that the day before, and since Blake usually flys in the day of a show, he usually misses it. 

That would be great! I hope he does some interviews.
