The biggest night of the year for the country music industry is almost here. On Thursday, November 1st, live from Nashville, Tennessee The Country Music Association Awards Show (CMA's) kick off. This is where country's best of the best get rewarded for all their hard work and country fans get to share special moments with their favorite artists. Luke Bryan is one of many country stars performing at the CMA's, watch as Luke takes us behind the scenes for a peek during the show's rehearsals.

Luke Bryan sits down to talk about the awards show "backstage we like to catch up and have fun, and I like it when we have those special moments when an artist comes in and really knocks one out of the park with a performance." This year Luke Bryan is real excited because he's nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (for Tailgates & Tanlines), in the Male Vocalist of the Year category Luke's up against Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban.

This is a special year for KEAN 105 as well because we are broadcasting awards show in it's entirety. It's the first time ever for KEAN. The last time KEAN was real involved in the awards show was when we were awarded Country Music Association Small Market Radio Station of the Year, that was back in 1987 and we didn't broadcast the show back when we won. So tune in for this history making moment at KEAN 105 and catch all the live action starting at 7 PM central time.
