ALEXANDRIA, MN - Gourmet food company Tastefully Simple will be lighting up the taste buds of some of country music's biggest stars at The Retreat, sponsored by Backstage Creations, a part of the festivities surrounding this year's Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMA) show May 18, which airs on CBS.

Country music favorites Kenny Chesney, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood and others will have an opportunity to sample a few of the company's unique and popular products, including Corn, Black Bean Salsa, Cilantro & Olive Salsa, and Blue Aztec Chips, at one of the industry's foremost awards shows.

"We're delighted to participate in this year's ACMA show and introduce some of music's biggest names to our products," says Jill Blashack Strahan, Tastefully Simple founder and CEO. "It's fun to think of these stars munching on a big scoop of our Cilantro & Olive Salsa."

In addition to the pre-show tastings, Tastefully Simple's featured salsas will be available for stars to take home with them. Tastefully Simple offers some 50 standard and seasonal offerings through independent consultants or online.
