Bobby Marquez 2018 CMA Music Fest Performance
to Raise Funds for Music Education
NASHVILLE, TN — Country music’s biggest week is coming up June 7th through June 10th in Nashville. And award-winning entertainer Bobby Marquez will be center stage for the 2018 CMA Music Fest. Marquez will be performing on the CMA Spotlight Stage in the Music City Center on Friday, June 8, 2018 at 11am. The singer/songwriter will follow his show with an autograph/meet and greet in the Xfinity Fan Fair X inside the Music City Center.”There is nothing like it….every year, people from all over the world pack Nashville for the love of country music. .Entertainers, like myself, can’t thank the fans enough. And the CMA gives us an opportunity to all get together to celebrate the music and have a blast,” shares Marquez.
The fun-filled week of music, celebrity encounters and events raises money each year for music education. The CMA Foundation has invested more than $20 million dollars in music education through programs and instrument donations at area schools since the year 2006. This year, the CMA Foundation is kicking off a campaign called “It Starts with M.E.” (M.E. standing for Music Education) #itstartswithME to help communicate that music education is part of a well-rounded education – as important as math, science, history, etc. – and that research shows that youth who study music develop advanced skills and abilities.
Bobby Marquez states, “I remember how my first guitar changed my world. My cousin threw it away and I couldn’t see it go to waste, so I pulled it out of the trash and taught myself to play. That was the best thing to ever happen to me. It taught me communication and discipline skills and over the years, gave me a business education. I can’t wait to see the difference this event will make in our future.”
Fans will be excited to know that Bobby Marquez will also have pre-release copies of his new CD, ‘The Cowboy Way,’ available during CMA Music Fest week. The new album features duets with the legendary Johnny Rodriguez and the Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent.
Marquez is also hosting his annual St. Jude benefit, Country with Heart that week along with tv, radio and autograph appearances. A schedule is included below. You can also visit www.bobbymarquez.com for updates.
