Country Music Star Tim McGraw Excited About Music City Rodeo Heading To Nashville

Country music star Tim McGraw is tapping into his entrepreneurial side, combining two of his great loves: music and rodeo. The Louisiana native is bringing Music City Rodeo to Nashville and along with it the first PRCA event in the city.

Nashville's Bridgestone Arena will feature some of rodeo's best events, including bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, and bronc riding. During the three days event, McGraw will perform on May 31, as will country stars Reba McEntire (May 29) and Jelly Roll (May 30). It's an exciting event for local fans, with the 58-year-old legend seeing Nashville as the perfect spot to bring Western culture to the South.

Speaking to The Tennessean, McGraw said:

Bringing a fun, yet intense, top-tier and world-class athletic spectacle like any baseball or football game to an arena or stadium is exciting. Then, add artists like Reba McEntire and Jelly Roll, who are equally excited and jumped on board as Music City Rodeo cofounders and representatives immediately. We've dug in our spurs and are coming out of the chute with a great event with a festival-like atmosphere.Tim McGraw
