CMA Music Fest hosts soap stars


– The stars of ABC's "All My Children," "One Life to Live," and "General Hospital" will descend upon Nashville during CMA Music Festival, which is held Thursday through Sunday, June 5-8.
"Our fans really enjoyed meeting and interacting with ABC's daytime stars last year, so we couldn't be happier that they are joining us again," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "Country Music and daytime television have a lot in common. And at the heart of both industries, is a genuine relationship between the artists and actors and their fans."
Participants are: R"All My Children" - Bobbie Eakes ("Krystal Carey"), and Ricky Paull Goldin ("Jake Martin").
"One Live to Live" -Kassie DePaiva ("Blair Cramer"), and Kamar de los Reyes ("Antonio Vega").
"General Hospital" - Bradford Anderson ("Damian Spinelli"), Rebecca Herbst ("Elizabeth Webber"), and Jason Thompson ("Dr. Patrick Drake"). Eakes was signed to a record deal in Nashville at one point, but never released a CD.
The actors will participate in various activities including hosting concerts.
