countryfest 2013

Joel Crouse had a lot of responsibility in leading off the show at Countryfest 2013, and he proved that he could handle it and then some, delighting the crowd with a great performance. Check out photos from his set in the gallery below.

Back 40 took the stage at Countryfest 2013, and helped to get the party started at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds. Check out photos of their performance in the gallery below.

All day, you Instagrammed your photos from Countryfest 2013 to our special Countryfest hashtag, #CountryfestNY. We corralled all those great pictures you took here! Check them out, and look for your photos, below!

Countryfest 2013 FINALLY came and it was amazing.  Check out the Vine and Instagram videos captured by both GNA staffers and YOU GUYS!

Preparations have been going on all day at Schaghticoke Fairgrounds, where the stage was set for Saturday's 'GNA Countryfest!!

Tomorrow is the day. 1077 'GNA Countrfyest 2013 is here and SOLD OUT at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds. One of the major stars of the show took a few minutes to speak with us before the show.

Countryfest 2013 is this Saturday! We're so excited, we're giving you the directions to Schaghticoke Fairgrounds to memorize now! 1077 ‘GNA Countryfest is outside at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds, 30 minutes north of Troy or east of Clifton Park...

I must first apologize to Darius Rucker.  I may have to do it in person when he comes here. I have borrowed the song "Wagon Wheel" for this (but I promise to give it back).  Here's my parody so you hopefully will remember the rules when you come to our huge party this Saturday!

The time is upon us for the best event of the year, Countryfest! And with such an exciting event just a few days away, we all know that you (and us!) will be on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets talking about it. So we put together a handy social media guide so you can join us in the fun before, during, and after the show!

Well, we're just a little over a month away from the big show. 1077 'GNA Countryfest 2013 is July 13th at the Schaghticoke Fairgrounds.

Chalk up another fun and rewarding experience - this time working with students in Mrs. Bushey's class at Shaker Road Elementary School in Colonie.  Some extremely talented jingle writers were on hand, so I put them to work immediately to write a Countryfest song!

This has been a mission of mine for weeks now.  I could have sworn that Joe Diffie, one of the artists coming to Countryfest 2013, came to our Sean and Richie Golf tournament. I could picture in my head  a photo that we took together with him.  Well, I finally found it!
