CNN NYE music spots

From CNN: Anderson Cooper brings the party to you. Anderson will be at his usual New Year's Eve post in Times Square along with Erica Hill and American Morning's Kiran Chetry. And we are excited that special guest Kathy Griffin will be there too.

You are a big part of the show. Anderson wants to hear your New Year's message.

Go to cnn.com/iparty for details.

Musical guests include: Earth, Wind & Fire from Las Vegas, Grammy Nominee Miranda Lambert, just nominated in the Female Country Vocal Performance category, and Widespread Panic from Atlanta.

Rock on! I heard that Panic's part will be at 11:25 p.m. EST on CNN, do the final song, and then come back for the countdown/NYE tune and I'm not going to be there (sniffle).
