This was our first time in America and doing tours and were a bit apprehensive. Soundmart Tours immediately put all that to rest. We visited great attractions and fantastic seats for a trip of a lifetime. Definitely the best, made us feel very welcome. Thanks so much Nathan and Mel
Sheryl Morrissy
Just stop sitting on social media looking at all the Soundmart crew pictures and videos of everyone having a blast on their Nashville CMA holiday, when you should be booking it for yourself. So come and have an amazing time just like we all did. Do it by yourself or bring families and friends. Either way just do it. Great music with great new friends. So get off that couch and create some amazing memories. We are certainly heading back over for a second trip. Rock on Soundmart Crew.
Rach & Bob Derschow
Wow, what a great experience! Nashville is such a fun city, something for everyone. Touring with Soundmart gives you the opportunity to have access to the best seats at the stadium shows and the Opry. You also have unique experiences that you would not get if travelling independently. Definitely one of those unequivocally awesome trips that you will remember for a lifetime. Nathan, Damien and Troy are just stunning humans and delightful hosts. Would highly recommend to all my friends and who ever will listen to me. Do it!
Aileen Struthers
I can’t thank Soundmart tours, Nath, jaimie lynn, Kempie and Damo for making this a trip of a lifetime. There’s nothing I would change about how it was run and organised, plenty of free time to do what you want and so much to see and do with the group.
Honestly can’t say enough about how amazing it was, coming solo to the states everyone on tour and all staff were welcoming and made the trip the best I’ve ever done.
Harley Tynan
Thank you Soundmart Tours for an excellent adventure. I always say strangers are just the friends we haven't yet meet. I got on a bus full of strangers and now have friends for life. If you're thinking about doing CMAFest, then I highly recommend Soundmart Tours. From my first email till our Nashville farewell, i felt like i was being wrapped in blanket of Country Love. Thanks Nate, Mel, Troy & and Damien, you helped me create some awesome memories that my future self will be grateful for.
Robyn Forester
As a single women travelling on her own from Australia, I felt looked after and cared for from Day 1, everyone was fun, approachable and I created memories I never thought possible, If you are concerned about being solo on this tour with Soundmart trust me, you will never feel alone, Nathan looked after me the whole time. Even if it was as I was getting of the bus "Hey you going ok?"
The breakfast room to us was a game changer for me, just being able to grab a bottle of water and a snack I believe it is next level service, and saved so much money, and made us closer as a group to have brekkie with each other and catch up on antics. On this tour you have the chance to party like a rock star or kick back and go slow and enjoy each moment, it really is for everyone.
Sonia Oliver
Do yourselves a favor and get around Soundmart Tours. Oh my gosh do they absolutely know how to create a trip of a life time! We came, we saw, and we absolutely partied! This trip absolutely exceed my expectations and then some. There is no doubt a ridiculous amount of behind the the scenes organising because everyday was ever so seem-less! There was enough time to see and do everything plus have some time to ourselves. The whole team were so accommodating from start to finish and really helped shape the trip! The whole dam trip was arrrrrhmazing! Thankyouuuu SO much to all of the the extremely talented hosts and the really awesome bunch of people we meet along the way… it most definitely is a trip I will not forget!
Can’t wait to do it all again! YeeeeHaw!
Nadine Kelly
For my second year, Soundmart and the team have provided an exceptional experience yet again. The tour down to Dollywood and back to Nashville for CMA has given so many memories, created so many new friendships and even found family Hahaha If Y'all want an experience of a lifetime, get aboard the Soundmart CMA Fest experience.
B Shuttz highly recommends!!!
Brady Shuttler
Had the most amazing time for our first ever trip to Nashville. Soundmart provided us the most incredible itinerary which had us hooked as soon as we saw it. However, what you can't learn until you have been is that the itinerary is just the beginning. Soundmart excells at building amazing relationships with their clients. Nathan and Mel should be highly commended for it. This same sentiment is present with all guest hosts - Troy and Damian were brilliant!! This trickles down to the group immediately, creating genuine friendships between those on tour from day 1. Overall 10/10 experience.
Trenton Ebner
The tour, the people, the organisation is next level. We won't use anyone else ever and have told our friends and family the same if they want the best. Soundmart all the way !!!!
Nicole Ebner
I went in this tour as a solo traveller and boy it did not disappoint. Nath and his team went above and beyond to make sure everyone was ok and was always there for us if we needed anything. The tour never felt rushed or jammed packed, it was well balanced. One of my highlights was the singing on the coach, everyone got in and sang, it was the best feeling. I also met new friends who are now my lifelong friends. I truly loved every moment and I thank you guys for the best experience I’ve had in a long time.
Tammy Dunn
Having travelled to CMC in Australia with Soundmart several times, it was a no-brainer to join the tour to CMA Fest. I knew that the team had the experience and contacts to provide a great itinerary across our time in Nashville. The visits to the Cash Farm, The Opry and all the additional activities provided a great introduction to Nashville and set us up for a great CMA. There was time to do some adventuring on your own, and join in the extra activities and get to know the group - who were all great, friendly and a joy to be around. The whole experience was stress-free and well organised. A great testament to Nathan and Mel and the work they do in the background to ensure everyone is happy. I would recommend Soundmart - both for CMC and CMA Fest unreservedly. If you are thinking about it - just commit. You won't regret it and it will be a trip you will never forget. Being with like-minded country lovers just makes it all the better..
Samantha Cracknell
Just like to say a big thankyou to Nath, Mel and all of the Soundmart Tour crew for an amazing tour showing us the best of Nashville & New Orleans. We were slightly reluctant going on an organised tour, but this tour far exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. Having Damien, Troy, Blake, Sinead singing with the local musicians was unbelievable and something we’ll never forget. Even though we were over in Nashville for the CMA Festival, the tour had so many other highlights it would be hard to pick our favourite. Due to covid we had to wait 2 years for this tour to eventuate, and it was definitely worth the wait. Great work Soundmart Tours.
Fay & John Harris
"Soundmart Tours, go above and beyond to ensure a unique experience. The entire tour runs seamlessly, with more highlights than you can count! A brilliant balance of tour events and spare time to shop or head to a Honky Tonk! Access to so many opportunities that you just can't do on your own! The knowledge of the tour guides was phenomenal and the interaction with the guest hosts Damien, Sinead, Blake and Troy was brilliant! The Neon Cactus event was a highlight! You'll just have to go to experience it! I would definitely go again! From start to finish you are well informed and looked after. If you don't have anyone to go with, don't hesitate to travel with Soundmart Tours. I believe you don't travel alone with Soundmart. We met and made so many friends on the tour who we hope we will travel with again! If you are thinking about doing the AAA all access CMA Festival tour, just book it! You will not regret it!
Barbara & Wal Hopmans
I have had an incredible holiday travelling to Nashville for CMA fest and then onto Memphis, Mississippi, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Los Angeles.
I am so grateful to have been able to travel with Soundmart Tours. The extensive work they put into every detail creating this amazing trip and the special experiences that were included was nothing but incredible and a credit to all involved.
The team are professional, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make your trip unforgettable to the point of customising days to allow last minute ‘extra’ rare and amazing opportunities.
My highlights of this trip were our day trip out to Storytellers hideaway farm and museum in Bon Aqua with our private performance from Mark Cash, this was such a precious and treasured experience.
Tallahatchie Flats was a beautiful and tranquil place where we were lucky enough to be invited to a private event and entertained and enjoyed sharing a meal with a group of local folk from Greenwood. This was one of my favourite evenings on the trip.
I have made some great friendships from the trip and fond memories to hold onto for a long time, our guest hosts also made the trip fun and the numerous on the spot performances were very enjoyable.
If you enjoy music then I would highly recommend you book a tour with Soundmart Tours you will not regret becoming a part of the Soundmart family. I can’t wait till my next trip! Thank you Soundmart Tours you guys Rock!
Julie Fowler
"To my family & friends if any of you are thinking of going to Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans then I cannot recommend enough Nath & Mel from Soundmart Tours. Their attention to detail was fabulous - so organised & kept us all very informed before & during the trip - what we have seen & done over the last week has been awesome - lots of special surprises that only came due to Nathan’s contacts over here. If you want to know more ask me or just call them
Thanks Nath & Mel I had the most fun, informative, exciting time of my life
Thanks to Troy Kemp & Damien Baguley (Alesha & Lori) friends for life."
Jenni Gadeishkie
"I would highly recommend Soundmart Tours, if you are looking at going to the CMA Fest in Nashville, CMC in QLD, Stage Coach Tour in the USA, Calgary Stampede in Canada or the the Gympie Music Muster in Gympie QLD.
I have just gotten home from a 10 day tour to Nashville USA for the CMA Festival and I had the most amazing time, this was my first time going overseas and the guys made me feel like part of the family. They organised everything, even taking you on day tours or let you do your own thing.
A huge thank you to Nath Marshall, Melissa Marshall, Kate Marshall, Damien Baguley and Troy Kemp. You all made my first experience memorable and I will not hesitate to go with you guys again, 100% loved the time away. "
Bev Lancaster
"We have no hesitation in recommending travel with Soundmart Tours.
From the moment my sister and I paid our deposit (18 months prior) for the CMA Fest 2019 Nashville & Memphis trip Nathan and Mel were in constant phone and email contact with both of us, regularly updating us on tour info.
They went above and beyond to ensure we knew what was going on and that we were comfortable.
The trip was so well organised and they had thought of every little detail.
Absolutely loved our trip to Nashville and couldn't have asked for a more seamless process.
Having guest hosts with knowledge of the city and festival to give us inside tips and tricks enhanced the trip even more.
Thank you Soundmart Tours for everything!"

I highly recommend planning your next adventure with them, as this trip was very well put together & the team were so friendly & approachable the whole time.

"The Soundmart Team are amazing, they went above and beyond for the tour group every step of the way. Mel and Nath helped me to overcome difficulties to be able to attend the tour and the tour hosts made themselves available but also went out of their way to ensure everyone had anything they needed and were managing ok.

" First time traveller to CMA Fest Nashville 2019, I love to travel and I love my country music and this team of fantastic people and Aussie artists make that dream a reality.
If you love music then Soundmart is the tour company for you, Nath, Mel and Kate make your dreams come true, and if your go to CMA you will get to travel with Troy Kemp and Damo for the Viper Creek Band who entertain you along the way.
If it’s a concert in Sydney, the CMC or Muster In Qld or a music festival in the USA Soundmart is your ticket there. You guys rock, see you in 2020! "

"Well where do I start with Soundmart Tours!!!
What an incredible experience I had with them travelling to Nashville for the CMA Festival!!

Nath, Mel and Kate you all went over and beyond for everyone on the tour. The background work that went into the tour really showed and attention to detail was impeccable and you always kept us well informed before and during the tour. The places we got to experience Blue Bird Cafe, RCA Studio B and being able to record a song as a group, Graceland and Memphis just to name a few. Our tour hosts Troy, Damien and their partners Aleesha and Lorie it was a pleasure meeting you all and thank you also for making it a memorable tour.
