Poll: What Song Would You Open the 2019 CMA Awards With?
Evan Paul is the host of Taste of Country Nights, a syndicated radio show heard on more than 100 country radio stations nationwide. Producer Amber co-hosts the show with him every night from 7PM to midnight. Together they play the best new country music and interview today's top stars, like Luke Combs, Dan + Shay, Brantley Gilbert, Justin Moore, Miranda Lambert + more!
We are so excited for the upcoming CMA Awards. There are always so many great surprises and memorable performances that take place on country music's biggest night. Imagine for a moment, you're asked to open the show with a musical performance. Also imagine that you can play the guitar and sing with the best of them. What song would you perform and why?
I would go with a song that is a timeless hit, that way I would for sure have the crowd up and singing along, so I would pick "Something Like That" by Tim McGraw.
Amber says "Southbound" by Carrie Underwood. She said she would also ask for a few redneck margaritas to ignite her Carrie dance moves to the next level.
Sit back, close your eyes and imagine you're tasked with being the opening act for this year's CMA Awards: Which song would you be performing?
