If you're headed to Nashville this week, we can probably guess why.  

Yes, it's that time of year again. The 2016 CMA Music Festival is here...and we're back in a big way to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the HGTV Lodge.

We've got the hottest ticket in town with a star-studded lineup of live musical performances by popular artists Keith Urban, Martina McBride, Jake Owen and Cole Swindell, as well as special appearances by your favorite HGTV stars.

Plus, check out more performances and autograph signings from Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and the Scott Family, Kip Moore, Thompson Square, Frankie Ballard, Old Dominion, Maddie & Tae, Cassadee Pope, Eric Paslay, Jack Ingram, Brandy Clark, Chris Carmack, Aubrie Sellers, Aaron Lewis, Margo Price.

Are you an aspiring songwriter or just like hanging out with creative types?  We'll also be hosting a special ASCAP songwriter’s round. Before they were radio-ready, the hits were ideas in a tunesmith's mind. Hear how they were brought to life!

But if you can't be in Nashville this year, you can still join the fun from home.

Join us this Friday on our Facebook page as we host a CMA takeover direct from the HGTV Lodge. HGTV's Listed Sisters, Lex and Alana LeBlanc, will be there to give you behind-the-scenes from the festival, plus our very own Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott, will interview artist Frankie Ballard (Frankie's new album "El Rio" is out this week)!

And create your own at-home festival experience with our hot, new #HGTVLodge playlist on Spotify. Listen to 20+ of today’s hit songs from Keith Urban, Old Dominion, Frankie Ballard and more.

Crank it up and have a happy CMA Music Fest week, y'all!
