Trisha Yearwood, Josh Turner, Blake Shelton have been the stellar country music headliners at WGNA Countryfest during my time here at the radio station.
As we get set for a huge WGNA Countryfest 2011on July 9th, I thought I would take a look back at Countryfest 2001. Its hard to believe it was 10 long years ago.
Sunny Sweeney is a very talented young lady and records her music on Republic Nashville Records. Her first national debut was the smash hit "From A Table Away".
Mike Eli is a talented singer with a voice that makes you listen. He sound a lot like a gritty Vince Gill. The last time I saw Mike and the Eli Young Band he had just closed on a house in Texas.
Sunny Sweeney has actually been putting out music with a distribution deal on Big Machine Records for quite some time. She will be worth a good watch at WGNA Countryfest 2011.
WGNA announced our Countryfest 2011 lineup this morning and it is 6 deep. In order of of performance we will have Joanna Smith, Brett Eldredge,Sunny Sweeney, Chris Cagle, Randy Houser and Miranda Lambert.
Brad Paisley is the man! Brad was finally awarded the long overdue CMA Entertainer of the Year Award, and I hope he repeats and wins this honor at the ACM Awards this April in Las Vegas. Brad Paisley just announced his Summer tour today.
