"We are excited to once again partner with CMA to offer a free stage at the Courthouse Park," said Butch Spyridon, President of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Bureau. "We want to make this a place where visitors can get a real taste of life in Music City and also a spot locals can easily access and enjoy our signature music festival."
 
"We have always enjoyed a great relationship with the City, but the Music City Zone takes our partnership to the next level," said Steve Moore, Chair of the CMA Board of Directors.
