NASHVILLE, Tenn. (JUNE 04, 2026) Gaither Music, The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music, and the Gospel Music Association (GMA) have joined together to create a series of unique fan experiences during CMA Fest 2026, bringing Christian and Gospel music fans new opportunities to connect with artists, celebrate the genre's enduring impact, and engage with Nashville's vibrant music community.
 
One of the weekend's featured CMA Fest experiences will take place at The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music, where the Museum, Gaither Music, and the Gospel Music Association are partnering to celebrate the legacy and ongoing influence of Christian and Gospel music through live performances, artist interactions, fan activities, and exclusive giveaways throughout the festival.
 
The partnership will be highlighted on Friday at 2 p.m. CT when The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music hosts a live concert and jam session from its café in downtown Nashville. Featuring Gaither artists Jimmy Fortune, T. Graham Brown, and Mike Rogers for a live jam session, the event will be filmed and streamed live on @GaitherMusic Facebook and YouTube, as well as the Museum and artists' pages, giving fans both in Nashville and around the world the opportunity to participate.
 
"The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music exists to tell the story of a genre that has shaped American music and inspired generations of listeners," said Steve Gilreath, Founding Executive Director of The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music. "During a week when Nashville becomes the center of the music world, we're excited to partner with Gaither Music to bring that story to life for CMA Fest attendees and celebrate the lasting influence of Christian and Gospel music."
 
Throughout CMA Fest, attendees can also visit the Gaither Music booth (#331) at Fan Fair X inside Music City Center, where artist appearances and autograph signings will take place. Fans will have opportunities to engage with all three partner organizations through a variety of interactive experiences, including an exclusive scavenger hunt that will enter participants for a chance to win a grand prize package valued at more than $500. The prize package includes a pair of tickets to the 2026 Dove Awards at Bridgestone Arena, a pair of tickets to The Museum of Christian & Gospel Music, and a collection of apparel, CDs, DVDs, and other merchandise from Gaither Music and participating partners.
 
Fans exploring downtown Nashville during CMA Fest are invited to stop by the museum café to enjoy custom-crafted beverages (Good Morning Gloria!) and specialty treats created exclusively for the event.
