KEVIN COSTNER IS PERFORMING AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY AND THE CMA KICKOFF CONCERT

Actor KEVIN COSTNER is making his Opry debut this Saturday Nov 8th.

—For those of you who didn’t know, Kevin has a band called MODERN WEST.  Maybe performing at the Opry is their dream or maybe they’re just promoting their debut album, “Untold Truths”.  (—That drops Tuesday.)

Also,Kevin Costner and Modern West will headline the 2008 Chevy CMA Awards kickoff concert scheduled for Nov. 11 in front of the Sommet Center in Nashville. Rodney Atkins, the Eli Young Band and Heidi Newfield will also perform during the free outdoor concert that calls attention to the CMA Awards show scheduled for Nov. 12 at the Sommet Center. Newfield opens the show at 4 p.m., and Costner and his band are scheduled to go onstage at 6:30 p.m. Costner won two Academy Awards—best director and best picture—for his 1990 film, Dances With Wolves. However, prior to his major success as an actor, director and producer, he and Modern West member John Coinman founded Roving Boy, a band based in Los Angeles.
