2009 CMAfest Bellamy Brothers, McWhirter, and More

The number of artists coming and going this past week at CMA Music Festival included a few from AristoMedia Group

The Bellamy Brothers played an entertaining set in front of thousands of fans at the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage on Thursday afternoon, despite a morning rain delay.
The Brothers' classic, "Let Your Love Flow," recently achieved the BMI Five Million Performance Award and experienced a remarkable resurgence in popularity, shooting all the way up to No. 1 on the UK Country charts overseas, nearly 35 years after it was written.

Marsh On Solid Ground For Music Fest Debut...
Newcomer Amanda Marsh made her first visit to Music City and the CMA Music Festival this year. Along with her 18-year-old brother Travis (who is also an artist), the California-based duo performed at the Durango Acoustic Corner, hosted the Operation Troop Aid show and signed autographs at Amanda's booth. A solid stream of fans turned out from all corners of the country to meet the siblings in person. Amanda recently released her debut album, Love Is In The Details, which won a Mavric Music Award for Song of the Year. The pair also star in their own online drama series, Anywhere, which is directed by director Patrick Norris (Gossip Girls, Dawson's Creek, Friday Night Lights).

As part of his prize package, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter performed on the Riverfront Park Daytime Stage in front of thousands of enthusiastic Music Fest concert-goers. He also played a set at Monday night's CMA Global Artist Party alongside other international performers from Australia, Ireland, the UK, Canada and New Zealand.
