country music

This upcoming Hunter Hayes, Sam Hunter, Lady Antebellum Show at SPAC brings me back to one of the coolest experiences I've had at this station in a very long time.

Okay, I have to be honest here, I'm severely biased when it comes to Kellie Pickler. I have has a crush on this woman since the first moment I saw her on American Idol. I am fully aware however that I am not alone. A great many Americans have loved her innocence and girl next door beauty since seeing her on that show...

I absolutely LOVE this new song by Keith Urban and Eric Church. "Raise Em Up" is such a great tune and paints a great picture.  I was wondering the other day who actually wrote the song, and I found out some really interesting information about it.

Ok -so if you are going to attend the Montgomery Gentry Show at Upstate Concert Hall on May 19th, you need to have your research down.  Here's some songs that I think are mandatory

Dierks Bentley is our Countryfest 2015 headliner, and we’ll all get to see and hear him on Saturday, July 11, at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds.

The last time we went to Nashville we had a chance to interview Rachele Lynae. I have to be honest I didn't know really anything about her and hadn't heard any of her songs at that point so it was a bit difficult to sat the least. I did however find her to be sweet and passionate about music, so I walked away from the encounter at least a little curious.

Recently Bethany and I have been talking about the new music that is coming out of Nashville, especially the stuff that because it is so new you may not have even heard yet and I was thinking I'd love to see what you think of some of the new songs I like...

This was a dream - standing behind Phil Vassar's piano right before he went on at Countryfest 2001 (Sean's in the background.  Bethany absent. She was in high school in Florida at the time! )  Ok, that was me -now  let's see if you can find yourselves.  I found 2 crowd shots.

There are a million reasons to love country music and I do.

I love this guy! I still remember Dierks Bentley at last year's Taste Of Country Music Festival, the guy was amazing.

I see these lists everywhere of the top country songs in music history.  It makes me wonder: What songs from today will be the classics of tomorrow (if any?)

I really like this band a lot.  They appeared as the opening act for  Hunter Hayes when he was here in Albany. Apparently they're still on the road!   I stumbled upon this little Christmas message that they recorded just for you.
