LUKE BRYAN WILL WELCOME GMA AND THE CMAS AT HIS DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE BAR.

Artist: Luke Bryan

Luke Bryan is welcoming ABC’s Good Morning America to his brand new bar 32 Bridge Food + Drink, located on Lower Broadway in downtown Nashville to help announce this year’s CMA nominations, along with Sugarland and Dan + Shay.

Nominees in select categories will be revealed on GMA. Immediately following the show, the remaining categories will be revealed on goodmorningamerica.com and simulcast on GMA’s YouTube channel.

Luke, two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, says it’s fun to find out who is nominated. “Through the years being able to perform on the CMAs, to have won two Entertainer of the Year awards is so surreal. And every time the nominations come out, it’s so fun to see who is getting nominated and what songs and it’s a special day. I mean, I would be lying if I said I don’t have my fingers crossed for certain things to go my way, but it’s not why I’m in the business to try to get nominations. But it’s certainly amazing when you do get the nominations and when they’re nominations from your peers within the CMA community and the voters. It’s very, very special.”

The 52nd Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, will be broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena November 14th at 8pm ET on ABC.

“You know, the ability to welcome GMA and the CMAs and ABC in my bar in downtown Nashville is pretty amazing. It kinda tells me, like, I don’t understand how I’ve gotten here. But through the years being able to perform on the CMAs, to have won two Entertainer of the Year awards is so surreal. And every time the nominations come out, it’s so fun to see who is getting nominated and what songs and it’s a special day.
