Country Hall of Fame to showcase singers, songwriters during Nashville CMA Fest

An all-female event lineup differentiates the Country Music Hall of Fame's 2024 CMA Fest event lineup from much of what will occur on Lower Broadway from June 6-9, 2024.

A group of artists highlighted by Country Music Association award-winners, Grand Ole Opry members, and the 2024 class of CMT's Next Women of Country program will be featured.

Programs include a Concert and Conversation with Lorrie Morgan on June 6; a special conversation and performance with some of CMT's Next Women of Country on June 7; a Songwriter Session with Trannie Anderson on June 8; and a Musician Spotlight with Jenee Fleenor on June 9.

All programs are included with museum admission and are free to museum members. Seating is limited, and a program ticket is required for admittance.
