Dave Matthews to perform at Country Music Awards

inyouratmsphere · 10-19-2009, 09:41 AM

Dave Matthews will join country's biggest names at this year's CMA Awards, delivering a duet with Kenny Chesney and adding another rock presence to the ceremony's lineup. Last week, it was announced that Daughtry – along with Vince Gill – would perform on the show, which will air on ABC Wednesday, Nov. 11, 8 p.m. ET.

Matthews, 42, will be making his debut appearance on the awards show, where he will perform "I'm Alive," a Top 10 country hit from Chesney's Lucky Old Sun album.

Already announced to perform on the awards show are Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and others.

Sweet. As a DMB fan who grew up listening to country music, and still has a small place for it in my collection, I will enjoy this.

hyoung41 · 10-19-2009, 10:35 AM

Awesome.

crashmpm · 10-19-2009, 10:38 AM

I'll dig it, thx.

canes101190 · 10-19-2009, 10:42 AM

Awesome, I might actually watch now.

Kevinbstbll9 · 10-19-2009, 10:45 AM

That will be pretty awesome to watch Dave perform with Kenny! And go T-Swift!

pmcox3333 · 10-19-2009, 10:58 AM

dammit, my wife has been on my ass about buying tickets to the CMA's already...now this!!

courtzdmb · 10-19-2009, 11:00 AM

that will give me an excuse to watch the show

Isn't I'm Alive sort of an older song now though?

coolhotwaves · 10-19-2009, 11:06 AM

I dig the song.

antsman41 · 10-19-2009, 11:26 AM

It was on Kenny's album from '08 but re-released on his newest greatest hits album this year and was a single off that released in August.

pmcox3333 · 10-19-2009, 12:11 PM

HAHAHA holy hell..tickets range from $115-$500!!! WOW

clcfball11 · 10-19-2009, 02:55 PM

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that this sucks. Country is absolutely horrific.

What I bolded. I don't think country is absolutely horrific - I just don't like it.

clcfball11 · 10-19-2009, 03:22 PM

I never really understood Dave's ball-washing of Chesney. I know they are friends, and that's cool and all, but enough. He once tweeted from a festival that they both were at when dave was performing after Chesney, saying "How does somebody follow Kenny Chesney?". I'm sure Dave was just being respectful, but Christ. The guy isn't Johnny Cash.

Perhaps not...but the guy puts on a kick ass show. And the women...my lord

dmbgirlca07 · 10-19-2009, 06:59 PM

YAY!!

pats4life2003 · 10-19-2009, 07:06 PM

people need to open their brains up a bit

chesney is very respected and very talented

to say country music is horrific...is a joke

DJGeneral · 10-19-2009, 07:19 PM

cant wait

DMBcubs3641 · 10-19-2009, 07:24 PM

I can't stand country. And I listen to A lOT of it. It's pretty much the only thing my friends listen to so I'm around it quite a bit. I respect some country musicians (Chesney, Swift, etc...) but I think the music sucks.

BigEyedFish416 · 10-19-2009, 10:07 PM

Im beyond amped for this. Honestly tho Im more excited to see how hot Carrie Underwood can make Cowboy Casanova look live

Foreverford05 · 10-19-2009, 10:14 PM

When is this?

YankeesDMB41 · 10-19-2009, 10:16 PM

in Long island, country gets as much attention as NASCAR, so i really am not exposed to the music at all and have no interest what so ever

PilotC150 · 10-19-2009, 10:19 PM

Country MUSIC isn't bad. If only they didn't sing......

Roddy9 · 10-19-2009, 10:46 PM

Would Love to See Dave and Garth Brooks do something together.

mavonw · 10-19-2009, 11:12 PM

horrible idea.. i think dave is trying to put himself in the public eye more and more these days because he wants to be an actor.

superfan · 10-20-2009, 12:41 AM

Hell yeah, this gonna be sweet! Kenny Chesney is my favorite country artist, this should be a good performance.
