Thanks For The Music

Kyle Dillingham is excited to announce that he’ll be making his 2018 CMA Fest debut on the Spotlight Stage inside Music City Center. Dillingham will perform at 1:00 pm CT on June 8, followed by a 30 minute fan meet-and-greet immediately after his performance.

“How very exciting it is to be a new member of this CMA family! An important theme in education is, ‘it’s not what we have, but it’s what we give,’ and we look forward to giving our very best at CMA Fest this year to benefit the CMA foundation’s work enriching music education programs all across the country,” Dillingham commented.

Dillingham is also celebrating a recent invitation to participate in the 2018-2019 American Music Abroad tour season, organized by The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and The Association of American Voices. Dillingham and Horseshoe Road were chosen as one of fifteen ensembles, standing out in an applicant pool of nearly 300.

“We are so excited to announce that we have also been accepted to participate in the 2018-2019 American Music Abroad (AMA) tour season! Having already performed in 37 countries, I look forward to this opportunity to take country music, once again, to new frontiers,” Dillingham said. “Whether at home or abroad, we have an important opportunity everyday to change peoples lives with our music. That’s what we are really talking about here!”

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is currently working to select the 40+ touring countries for the upcoming round of American Music Abroad, which will be announced at a later date.
