Last night after having dinner at Merchants, I wandered in to Tootsies and went straight upstairs and guess what current country artist was rocking the upstairs of Tootsies. Trent Tomlinson. I was able to see at least two songs before he exited the stage and left the building. I guess there were about 175 people upstairs during the time that I was there. Had I bothered to check Tootsies website, I would have been there at 6:30 p.m. when he started his performance. After listening to Hailey Hicks of Cedartown, GA. I ventured down to The Second Fiddle and listened to Becki McCloud and band featuring Todd Sansom on keyboard and background vocals. After some time there, I ventured to The Stage and listened to Craig Campbell, Craig’s myspace is here and after Craig, up next was Johnny T and Due South. Johnny T and Due South’s myspace page is here.

I was in Nashville last night, still over on business. Last night began the annual CMA Fan Fest. Since I was in downtown Nashville, I ventured over to the world famous Tootsies Orchid Lounge. In my visits to tootsies, the upstairs bands are more to my liking then the downstairs band.
Overall, a great night of music and as I left Nashville this afternoon, the thousands and thousands of country music fans were descending on downtown Nashville for the next four days.
