countryfest 2015

For the second year in a row, the Rustic Barn Pub will host the official Countryfest After Party immediately following the year's biggest Capital Region country concert on July 11!

Countryfest headliner Dierks Bentley could not have been more proud of the prize he got to bring on-stage with him at a show in Chicago this week. One might even say his "cup" was spilling over with excitement.

I'll give you five weird pieces of trivia.  You tell me which of the Countryfest 2015 artists I'm referring to, OK?  DON'T SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM!

With less than a month before Countryfest, you're probably getting ready for headliner Dierks Bentley's performance by stocking your playlists with all his music. Well how'd you like to see Dierks live for free before the show?

Now that we've announced Eric Paslay will be performing at Countryfest 2015, it's time for you to learn a little more about the artist.

If you love Dierks Bentley like I do, and if you're really excited about Countryfest like I am, and if you're really interested in everything that goes on behind the scenes on a big tour, then this website is for you! Dierks Bentley has a new site where he posts everything that you need to know about his summer tour...

No, not the animals that run at Saratoga - the BAND! We are featuring them and many others at this year's Countryfest 2015  I didn't know a lot about them myself, so I'm doing this for all of our benefit!  Let's see what we can find out about 1000 Horses.

What does Dierks Bentley want to eat and drink backstage at Countryfest 2015?  We asked him.  And yes, he's as easy going and chill as you'd expect! Plus, as you may know, I've been in love with Dierks for quite some time now, and before letting him off the phone I took the opportunity to propose marriage to him...

Did you know that Dierks is also the frontman of '90s country cover band "Hot Country Knights"?  He is!  Sometimes. And when he called Sean, Richie and me a couple of weeks ago he told us all about it!  Plus, we asked him who he sat next to at the Grammys and he dropped a couple of names I think you'll recognize...

We recently received a phone call from a very important person: #WGNACountryfest headliner Dierks Bentley!
