On Saturday, September 17, following a lunchtime barbeque in Elizabethtown, Kentucky -- the film's namesake -- Crowe and Orlando Bloom, the star of the film, will join special guests for a red-carpet premiere.

That evening, Crowe and Bloom return to Louisville, where the film shot for six weeks. There, they will join many state officials for a second premiere and after-party at Louisville's historic Brown Hotel (which plays itself in the film).

On Sunday, September 18, Crowe and Bloom will take a road trip down the I-65 corridor -- which also plays a role in the film -- to Nashville, TN, for a third event. Hosted by Country Music Television, the Nashville premiere will feature a live outdoor concert by Patty Griffin and I Nine, who will perform their songs from the soundtrack. The event will be attended by Clint Black, Brooks & Dunn, Michael McDonald, Sara Evans, LeAnn Rimes, and Michelle Branch, among many others.

Paramount Pictures will have satellite coverage of all three events, including B-Roll of the three premieres and coverage of the live concert.
