July 8, 2012 Here are the shots that I attempted to take inside the TU Center. I think you know how difficult it is to get good shots inside at a concert when you are far away, but i gave it the old college try. My compact camera did a better job than my expensive one - go figure
July 8, 2012 What a great day -Countryfest 2012. It looked like rain was on the horizon a few times ,but once again we were kissed by the continuing lucky streak that we seem to have year after year weather-wize. Here's a small slideshow that I put together of the outdoor part- the block party
July 7, 2012 Eric Church ( @ericchurch) is having a great time playing for the GNA show in Albany at the Times Union Center. He had, we think, a red solo cup of whiskey on his mic stand and one on standby. Hat, sunglasses, and guitar - he rocked the TU Center. The crowd went wild with Springsteen too, of course.
July 7, 2012 Joe Nichols ( @joenichols ) brought the tequila to the Times Union Center - and perhaps some people kept their clothes on. We didn't look because were were too busy capturing great photos of his performance on stage! We're looking forward to the next time Joe is in Albany for sure!
Country superstar Eric Church (@ericchurch) played Taste of Country tonight, and fans lined up before he took the stage just to get a picture with him. Check out the photos here!
July 7, 2012 Thompson Square ( @thompsonsquare ) was a crowd favorite - everyone was singing along to nearly every song including the Tom Petty song they covered. They did a great job and we hope to have them back again someday! Check out the photos!
Joe Nichols (@joenichols) played Countryfest 2012 tonight and a few lucky fans got to meet him!
Josh Thompson ( @thejoshthompson ) kicked off the indoor portion of GNA Countryfest in Albany with style! The crowd screamed, he toasted them with a red solo cup, and got us rolling with this show. Check out the galleries of his performance!
July 7, 2012 Thompson Square ( @thompsonsquare) is rocking it tonight at Countryfest 2012 in Albany. To the lucky fans who got to meet them, you got to see that they are very sweet.
July 7, 2012 Josh Thompson ( @thejoshthompson )was glad to meet you before he kicked off the indoor portion of Albany Countryfest 2012! If you got to meet him, here's the gallery!
July 7, 2012 Can you see yourself in this crowd? So many people taking over the city and making it country! Great crowd and we're not only halfway through the day. See if you can find yourself and keep an eye on our Twitter / Instagram feeds too for up to the minute updates.
July 7, 2012 This year Countryfest has two halves - outside and inside. Check out some of our local bands that performed after we took over Pearl Street! We'll keep adding more galleries as each band plays. Country is taking over the city and making it our own! There's never been so many cowboy hats in Albany.
