Murfreesboro native Chris Young kicked off the 2016 CMA Music Festival in Nashville Wednesday. Young headlined at the Ascend Amphitheater.
You may recall last year at the CMA, Young's former teacher at Siegel High School was giving a pop-up music lesson at the CMA Festival when Young arrived with a $2,500 check in hand from Farmers Insurance. The check paid for new audio equipment in the classroom of Choral Director Brenda Gregory.
