RIDE THE “ROAD TO THE CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY TETLEY® ICED
TEA”
Darryl Worley and Jennifer Hanson Perform in 10 Cities in April
and May During the Country Music Association’s Signature Tour
NASHVILLE – Fans of CMA Music Festival will soon
get a localized taste of Nashville’s signature music event as “Road
to the CMA Music Festival Presented by Tetley® Iced Tea” makes stops
in 10 cities in the Southeast this April and May, including Atlanta,
Birmingham, Charlotte, Ft. Worth, Houston, Jacksonville, Orlando,
Raleigh, San Antonio, and Tampa.
The tour, which celebrates what USA Today
calls the “crown jewel of Country Music festivals,” features Country
hitmaker Darryl Worley (“Have You Forgotten?,” “I
Miss My Friend,” “Awful Beautiful Life”) and singer/songwriter
Jennifer Hanson (performer/songwriter of “Beautiful
Goodbye,” and “Joyride” as well as songwriter of The Wreckers’ No. 1
hit, “Leave the Pieces”) performing at some of the most popular
clubs in the southeast. In addition, fans will be able to sample
products from Tetley Iced Tea and Greased Lightning® Cleaning
Products.
“Tetley has been making iced tea for over 50
years,” said Clive Rowlandson, Vice-President of
Marketing for Tetley Iced Tea. “We know our product is about more
than refreshment, it’s about sharing good times with family and
friends. That’s what this tour is all about too, a great way to
kick back and have fun this summer. We think Tetley Iced Tea and
Country Music is a perfect partnership.”
“I’m very excited about going on the road with
Jennifer Hanson, she is such a great talent,” exclaimed Worley. “I
look forward to new relationships with Tetley Iced Tea and Greased
Lightning. This will be a terrific way to lead up to the CMA Music
Festival and hopefully this will increase the excitement.”
“The CMA Music Festival is one of my absolute
favorite events of the year,” said Hanson. “When I was a little
girl, I spent many of my summer vacations in Nashville with my dad,
attending the shows and getting autographs. But not everyone gets to
come to Nashville and experience Music Festival in Music City. It’s
great that the CMA and Tetley Iced Tea are sponsoring a tour that
takes a little slice of the excitement that is Music Festival out on
the road.”
