Three leading organizations in Christian and Gospel music-the Museum of Christian & Gospel Music, Gaither Music, and the Gospel Music Association (GMA)-have partnered to offer exclusive fan experiences during CMA Fest 2026 in Nashville.
A major highlight of the collaboration will take place on Friday, June 5, when the Museum of Christian & Gospel Music hosts a live concert and jam session featuring Gaither artists Jimmy Fortune, T. Graham Brown, and Mike Rogers. The event will be held at the museum's downtown Nashville café and streamed live across Gaither Music's social media platforms, allowing fans worldwide to participate.
In addition to the concert, festival attendees can visit the Gaither Music booth at Fan Fair X inside Music City Center for artist appearances and autograph signings. Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in an interactive scavenger hunt organized by the three partners, with a grand prize package valued at more than $500. The prize includes tickets to the 2026 GMA Dove Awards, admission to the Museum of Christian & Gospel Music, and a variety of Gaither Music merchandise.
The partnership aims to celebrate the rich heritage and continuing influence of Christian and Gospel music while creating memorable experiences for fans attending one of Nashville's biggest music events. Visitors can also enjoy specially themed beverages and treats created exclusively for CMA Fest at the museum café.
This collaboration highlights how Christian and Gospel music continues to bring people together through faith, fellowship, and shared stories of hope, extending its influence to new audiences during one of the music industry's most prominent festivals.
