Keith Urban, the CMA's and the Blues in the news this week


The biggest night in country music is coming up this Wednesday with the annual CMA Award Show!!  The night before the show, ABC's Robin Roberts will host a series of candid interviews with some of the biggest stars in country music, like Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Sugarland, Faith Hill, Scotty McCreery & Lauren Alaina.  "In The Spotlight With Robin Roberts:  All Access Nashville" will air tomorrow (Nov 8th) at 9pm CT.  Then, the following night, it's the 45th annual CMA Awards, live in Nashville with live performances from Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and many more.  WXBM will also host our annual CMA Award Show Party at Sam's Fun City this Wednesday evening.  It's an invitation only party, so if you won an invitation, be sure to bring it, and get ready for a fun night!  We'll have free food for you & your guests, we'll show the award show on the huge theater screen at Sam's, the park will be open if the kids want to ride the rides and we have some great prizes to give out too.  Marty & Lindsey Marie, Lynn & I will be out there to host the party and give out prizes on the commercial breaks during the show.  If you have any questions, just give us a call in the studio.  The annual CMA Awards Show Party is brought to you by Sam's Fun City, Butler U-Pull It, Dan's Satellites in Pace and Your Country 102.7 WXBM!!

Keith Urban announced that doctors found a polyp on his vocal cords and he will need to have outpatient surgery to take care of it.  I've heard of other singers who have gone through the same procedure, and it doesn't sound like fun at all.  After the surgery, you have to be on total vocal rest for a couple weeks.  That means no talking or whispering.  I think Gary Allan went through that a couple years ago and said he had to carry a dry-erase board with him so he could communicate.  Keith has to scale back some of his shows this year and reschedule some more that were scheduled in early 2012.  He will still be performing at the CMA's Wednesday in Nashville.

Your Country 102.7 WXBM is proud to be a sponsor of the 2012 Blue Angels Homecoming Airshow this Friday & Saturday aboard NAS Pensacola!!  The show will feature the Red Bull Helo, A-10 Warthog, F-18 Super Hornet demo team and of course, the US Navy Blue Angels and Fat Albert.  Both NAS Pensacola gates will be open at 8am.  There is no entry fee or parking fee for the airshow at all.  There is no seating provided, but you can bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on if you wish.  Here's what you CANNOT bring:  PETS, COOLERS, POP-UP TENTS, FOOD, DRINKS and BACKPACKS.  As of right now it looks like the weather will be great, so plan on bringing some sunscreen because it will be a long day....but a fun day....out there.  Gates open at 8am, the show starts at 9:45am and the Blue Angels will fly around 2pm both days.  There is also a Friday night show which starts at 4pm.  If you have any other questions, visit their official website:  http://www.naspairshow.com/  or give us a call in the studio.  Hope to see you there!
