 NASHVILLE, TN (Country Music Association) - The Country Music Association (CMA) is hosting two of Country Music's best and brightest artists - 2005 CMA Horizon Award winner Dierks Bentley and Jace Everett - oversees in January 2006 for high-profile showcases in London, Dublin and Glasgow (the latter as part of Celtic Connections 2006, Scotland's premier winter music festival.) "CMA is very excited to present the second 'New from Nashville' program featuring two very talented artists," said CMA Executive Director Ed Benson. "With the success of last year's tour and its warm reception in London and Glasgow, we're expanding this year to include a performance in Dublin where Country Music is already very popular." On Jan. 16, 2006 Bentley and Everett will be performing at Whelan's in Dublin; on Jan. 17, 2006 they will perform in Glasgow as part of the Celtic Connection; and on Jan. 19, 2006 they will showcase at the Carling Academy in Islington, London.
