THE Martina McBride will be gracing Cedar Rapids with her presence on September 9th at The Paramount, and we were lucky enough to be able to do an interview with her beforehand.

It's safe to say that Martina McBride is a country music icon. She's released 13 studio albums (one that came out earlier this year), sold 14 million total albums, won "Female Vocalist of the Year" at the CMAs four times, won "Top Female Vocalist" at the ACMs three times, and has been nominated for 14 Grammys. She'll be performing at The Paramount Theatre on Thursday night, so we did a little pre-concert interview on the phone with her. Here it is!

Martina appears on "Live with Kelly" Tuesday morning and "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning before she performs at The Paramount Theatre in Cedar Rapids Thursday night! We got her first though, for this little pre-concert interview. Here it is!
