Jessica Harp Marries In Intimate Ceremony
NASHVILLE – Jessica Harp, one-half of Country Music duo The Wreckers, married violinist and band mate Jason Mowery today in Downtown Franklin, Tenn. at CJ’s Off The Square, a local art gallery.
"Growing up you and your girlfriends talk about getting married, who you will marry, the kind of wedding you want -- today exceeded all of my expectations," said Harp. "Jason and I feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing family and friends to share this wonderful moment with."
The couple chose to keep the nuptials intimate by inviting their family and closest friends. A multitude of candles and special lighting illuminated the ceremony, while flowers were kept simple. Chocolate and aqua were the bride’s colors of choice for the occasion. As a special touch, the couple had guests supply a list of their favorite songs to be played at the reception, also held at CJ’s.
Harp along with Michelle Branch as The Wreckers released their debut album Stand Still Look Pretty in May 2006. The album debuted at #4 on the Top Country Album charts and had three singles in the Country Top 40 chart, including “Leave The Pieces, “My Oh My” and “Tennessee.” In 2006, The Wreckers were the first duo to reach #1 with their debut single, "Leave the Pieces," since Brooks & Dunn in 1991 and the first female duo to reach #1 with their debut single in over 53 years. In December 2007, they released the live CD/DVD Way Back Home: Live From New York, which was recorded during a sold-out show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on July 13, 2007. In late 2007, both Harp and Branch announced they would release solo albums on Warner Bros. Records in the coming months.

Fans Clamor For Tickets To 2008 CMA Music Festival
NASHVILLE - CMA Music Festival is the ultimate destination for music lovers. Four days, 35 hours of autograph signings, 100 hours of live music, 400 Country Music artists and celebrities, and more than 191,000 fans add up to one major musical philanthropic event: 2008 CMA Music Festival, held Thursday through Sunday, June 5-8, in Downtown Nashville.
"I describe CMA Music Festival to those who have never been as 'spring break' for adults," said Karyn Tomaski of Palm Harbor, Fla. "CMA Music Festival was, without a doubt, our best vacation experience. Can't wait for June!"
Dubbed the "crown jewel" of Country Music festivals by USA Today, CMA Music Festival builds on the reputation of Fan Fair®, which was created exclusively for the fans in 1972. And 37 years later, the unique relationship between Country Music artists and their admirers remains at the heart of CMA Music Festival.
"My two sisters and I have travelled from Ireland to Nashville for the last five years and always have a great time at the CMA Music Festival," said Barbara Purcell of Dublin. "It is brilliant to see all of the artists perform at the same venue. In 2007, we brought more friends with us. They enjoyed the whole experience and are planning a return trip. We will be back!"
Each June, the artists take time out of their busy touring schedules to perform for free, meet fans, sign autographs, and pose for photos as a way of giving back to the people and community that have supported them throughout the year. Half the net proceeds from the Festival are donated on behalf of the artists to CMA's charity campaign "Keep the Music Playing." The program supports music education in Metro Nashville's 136 public schools through a partnership with the Nashville Alliance for Public Education (NAPE). To date, CMA has donated more than $1 million to purchase equipment and instruments to meet the music education needs of the county's 75,000 public school students.
"CMA Music Festival is a unique experience that could only take place in Nashville," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "Thousands of people come to Music City from around the globe to hear the music that made our city famous and interact with the artists who create it through autograph signings and one-of-a-kind events. We welcome these fans of America's music to Nashville's signature music event."
"CMA Music Festival is truly the best time anyone could ever have!" said Susan Thompson, of New Berlin, Ill. "The town of Nashville itself is a huge highlight of the Festival. The atmosphere is unlike any other town. The locals are great and welcome you in. There is so much to do outside of the concerts - great food, great shopping, and great sightseeing."
The 2007 CMA Music Festival generated $21 million in direct visitor spending for the city, according to the Nashville Visitors and Convention Bureau (NCVB). Since moving the Festival to Downtown in 2001, visitor spending has increased from $15.5 million to the current $21 million.
"A world-class music festival in the world's 'Music City' - what could be more perfect?" asked Butch Spyridon, President of the NCVB. "The event is truly the highlight of the year and the $21 million in visitor spending is icing on the cake."
Following the record-setting aggregate attendance of 191,000 in 2007, tickets for 2008 CMA Music Festival are selling at a brisk pace - 14 percent ahead of last year and 38 percent ahead of tickets sold by this date in 2006.
"It speaks to the strength of the event and the popularity of Nashville as a tourist destination that our sales are outpacing each previous year," said Genovese. "We are poised to have another very successful year."
CMA Music Festival fans are dedicated and they don't mind telling their friends and families.
"I have attended CMA Music Festival every year since 2003," said Joyce Spicer of West Bath, Maine. "The first year I went alone. The following year my husband had to go to witness for himself all of the excitement that I had tried to convey to him. We have attended every year since. Last year, my children went and love it every bit as much as we do. We will be back this year with bells on - well, at least sun screen on!"
Tracie Molter of Waterford, Mich., made new friends from Florida at CMA Music Festival in 2006. "Not only do you meet celebrities, but you meet and make friends that you will have for a lifetime."
CMA Music Festival is about the fans and their relationship to both the artists and the music they love. Four days filled with activities and events, building up to the Nightly Concerts at LP Field with state-of-the-art production and heart-pounding entertainment, the fan-favorite CMA Music Festival Photo Line, and giant video screens showcasing all the fun.
Surprise artist appearances are a hallmark of CMA Music Festival and 2007 didn't disappoint with Reba McEntire performing with Kelly Clarkson, rocker Ted Nugent joining Montgomery Gentry and a surprise performance by five-time CMA Vocal Group of the Year Rascal Flatts. As plans come together for 2008, surprise performances and unique collaborations are always considered.
"CMA Music Festival is also a wonderful opportunity to experience the depth of Country Music," said Genovese. "Our format includes an amazing array of talented artists representing the many styles of Country Music and we are thrilled to spotlight them for the fans."
In addition to the Nightly Concerts, fans will enjoy four days of nonstop music during the Daily Concerts on the Greased Lightning® Daytime Stages at Riverfront Park with an eclectic lineup of artists performing on dual stages, including Country hit-makers, rising stars, legends, bluegrass performers, and surprise guests. Music can also be heard in Acoustic Corner at the Nashville Convention Center, the site of the Fan Fair (Exhibit Hall), which features daily autograph sessions, shopping and lifestyle exhibits from with extended hours Thursday and Friday, June 5-6, (10:00 AM-6:00 PM); 10:00 AM-4:00 PM Saturday and Sunday, June 7-8.
"I loved the Riverfront Park performances," said Rosalie Jonas of British Columbia, Canada. "Every area gives you a great view of the stage. There, I met John Conlee and had my picture taken with him. The Festival is the ultimate experience for Country Music fans."
"The Riverfront shows are always a thrill," said Karen Newman of Frankfort, Ky. "It is such a relaxed atmosphere and it is a treat to see new artists perform."
"When we weren't at the Riverfront, we were at the Exhibit Hall looking for autographs," said Rachel Atcheson of Lilburn, Ga. "The atmosphere was awesome because it was just a lot of people getting together to hang out. The stars wanted to meet fans as much as the fans wanted to meet them. And they were always eager to get to know you and see how you're liking the Festival."
CMA Music Festival offers many other opportunities for fans to interact and see their favorite stars in unique settings, whether asking questions during the CMA Celebrity Close Up sessions, presented by GAC, or watching the artists compete in friendly competitions in the ChevyT Sports Zone.
The Chevy Sports Zone, which is free and open to the public in the parking lot adjacent to the Sommet Center and the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum, at the corner of Demonbreun Street and Fifth Avenue, offers fans the opportunity to participate in sporting activities plus see unique celebrity competitions and appearances from professional athletes. A strong relationship exists between sports personalities and Country artists and it is a proven winner with fans, too.
"I really enjoyed the Sports Zone," said Annette Gasper, of DeForest Wis. "It was a lot of fun to see the artists enjoying a little friendly competition with their fellow stars."
The McDonald's®-Dr Pepper® Family Zone is a fun stop for the entire family. Free to the public and open daily at the park across from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the McDonald's-Dr Pepper Family Zone is the place for children and adults to kick back and enjoy games, hands-on educational exhibits, storytelling with Country artists, and more. In fact, CMA Music Festival is very family-friendly with a discounted price for children age 12 and younger - making it an attractive family vacation.
A haven for fans of all ages, the Fun Zone, located on Broadway between First and Third Avenues, will sparkle with activities that include interactive displays, games, and product sampling. Daily access to these popular attractions is free and open to the public.
For a deeper look into the lives of some of our musical heroes and their road to stardom, there is the CMA Celebrity Close Up, presented by GAC, on Thursday, June 5 at the historic Ryman Auditorium. CMA Celebrity Close Up gives fans an opportunity to submit questions for celebrity panelists. The sessions are taped for future airing on GAC television. A separate ticket is required. The artist lineup and ticket on-sale date for 2008 will be announced soon.
At CMA Music Festival, the fun doesn't end with the closing fireworks at LP Field. Night-owls will find many late-night activities that are part of CMA Music Festival After HoursT. Clubs and bars in Downtown Nashville offer outstanding entertainment and exclusive specials for attendees, making CMA Music Festival After Hours a favorite activity.
Kristen Theall of Sunset, La., attended CMA Music Festival for the first time in 2006. "It was great. I met so many people. After the concerts, meet-and-greets and other activities, I was getting only about five hours of sleep a night in those four days. But it was definitely worth it. I can't wait to go again."
CMA Music Festival is always in motion, constantly evolving and growing. New events are on the horizon, with more information to be announced as plans come together.

After enjoying some time off in Australia, Keith Urban has returned. Three sold-out shows, two in Uncasville, Connecticut and one in Rochester, New York, kicked off his “Love, Pain and the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour” with Carrie Underwood this past weekend.
Always an electrifying performer, Urban’s shows thrive on the unexpected. In Uncasville, during his performance of “You Look Good In My Shirt,” Urban leapt into the crowd for the song’s guitar solo. Nobody could’ve imaged that Urban would strip his Epiphone electric guitar from his shoulder and give it to a 15-year old fan.
The performer’s next stop is Madison Square Garden, on February 13th, where Urban will make his sold-out debut and join an elite group of country artists who have sold out the world famous arena.
With additional dates recently added in Peoria, IL and Sacramento, CA, “Love, Pain and the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour” presented by Verizon is already proving to be a crowd favorite. Next for Urban, after “Love, Pain & the whole crazy Carnival Ride Tour’s” completion on April 26th, Urban will co-headline select stadium dates with Kenny Chesney.
