We’ve got a CMA contest winner!
And it’s Mandy Pavlick of Murfreesboro, who writes she’s the ultimate country fan.
“For starters, I moved to Nashville from out of state 4 years ago because I love country music. I wasn’t looking for a singing career, I didn’t have a job lined up, I didn’t know anybody here,” Mandy writes. “I just came to Nashville because I love the music.”
Mandy has seen Tim McGraw 20 times, Kenny Chesney 15 times.
“I was proposed to by my husband at the Sugarland show at City Hall, where Bon Jovi happened to show up and sing a couple songs….
“My first dance at my wedding was a Tim McGraw/Faith Hill song. I danced with my dad to a Garth Brooks song. And I was fortunate enough to have a great new artist show up and sing at my wedding. Her name is Taylor Swift, and I think she’s the next big thing…
“Oh, and by the way, I used to go the Opry just about every week when I first moved here, just because I wanted to hear the music. And you thought only tourists went to the Opry!”
OK, OK, Mandy!
By the way, she adds that she has never gone to a CMA Awards show.
Well, Mandy, you’re going now. It’s Nov. 6 at the GEC, and the CMA was kind enough to throw in a couple of tix to the Broadway Meets Country events Oct. 30 at TPAC.
Have a blast! And sorry, Tim McGraw not included.
You’ve seen him on reality TV show Rock Star Supernova. You’ve seen him on another reality show on MTV with then wife Carmen Electra.
Now you’ll see rocker Dave Navarro on stage at Nashville’s Riverfront Park Oct. 6. Seriously.
Dave’s now in a rock band called The Panic Channel, which will be part of the Orange County Choppers weekend here Oct. 6-8, which — believe it or not — officially kicks off Nashville’s nine-month 200th birthday party. (What says “Happy birthday Nashville!” like loud rock music and a custom-built chopper? I digress.)
Dave’s band is fronted by Steve Isaacs, a one-time MTV VJ and one-time lead actor in a touring company of The Who’s Tommy.
You can see Dave Navarro and The Panic Channel by getting tickets to the OCC event at www.occinamerica.com.
It’s only $25 for a one-day pass or $30 at the gate.
No word if Dave will blow out 200 candles as part of the fun.
Many folks think Heather and Neil Orne never see each other because they’re on opposite shifts now.
Think again.
The happy genetically-perfect couple is expecting a genetically-perfect baby in March.
“This could be the very first baby with a silver microphone in its mouth,” said John Dwyer, Heather’s co-anchor for News 2 This Morning.
“To two co-workers who are even better people, I wish them luck and love with their expanded family,” he added.
Ain’t John sweet? And he didn’t even read it off the TelePrompTer.
Several months ago, Heather and Neil picked out the baby name Suri, but now they’re on to plan B.
