Get ready for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration! American Honda has just announced its sponsorship of a vibrant daytime musical event at the iconic Nashville venue, Anzie Blue. This exciting lineup will be headlined by the renowned Chris Isaak, a talented singer and actor known for his platinum-record-selling hits and Grammy nominations.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 31, as this event will be streamed live from 2 to 8 p.m. ET (1 to 7 p.m. CT) on CNN.com, allowing music lovers from around the world to join in the festivities. Viewers can also catch select performances, including the much-anticipated act by Isaak, as part of CNN's special daytime coverage of New Year’s Eve celebrations occurring globally.
In addition to Isaak, attendees will be treated to a heartfelt performance of "Ring of Fire" by Grammy-winning producer John Carter Cash and his wife, the talented Ana Cristina Cash, honoring the legacy of John's legendary father, Johnny Cash. The event promises a rich variety of talent with additional artists such as Grammy-nominated songwriter Pynk Beard, who will also serve as the livestream host, alongside pop-punk sensation Taylor Acorn, music therapist-turned-activist Kyshona, and country singers Julia Cole and Alyssa Flaherty.
Marcie Allen, co-owner of Anzie Blue, expressed enthusiasm about the event, stating, "Prepare for a uniquely Nashville NYE celebration, featuring a diverse roster of artists that embody the essence of Music City. We are excited to partner with Honda Powersports and Visit Music City to highlight Nashville’s finest talent on our stage for music fans around the globe."
Jeremy McGuire, the Director of Powersports & Products Marketing for American Honda, added, "We are honored to collaborate with Anzie Blue for this year's New Year’s festivities, which truly reflect the vibrant energy and creativity of Music City. Honda is deeply committed to supporting the artists and communities that shape Nashville, and we look forward to championing the storytellers and creatives who drive cultural progress."
Among the featured artists is Nashville’s own Maggie Rose, a two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, who is working closely with Honda on various marketing initiatives focused on the brand's powersports products. Rose shared her thoughts on creativity, stating, "Inspiration doesn't solely arise in studios or on stages; it often flourishes when we take a moment outdoors to breathe. For me, disconnecting and enjoying nature helps me reconnect with my core self and my passion for music. Honda recognizes the importance of balance between freedom, movement, and focus, making it a joy to partner with a brand that supports artists in both performance and lifestyle."
The New Year’s Eve Day event at Anzie Blue is produced by Anzie Blue Productions and FEMco Presents, with Leslie Fram taking on the role of Talent Producer. The program receives sponsorship from Honda Powersports and Visit Music City. Be sure to follow @AnzieBlue on Instagram for the latest updates regarding performers, ticket information, and more.
