Countryfest

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 picked these folks out of my old Countryfest photos as "spoilers".  These were folks that were part of the bill but were not considered headliners.  I think they easily could have been, and wish they were back on the radio!

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?

Countryfest is just around the corner! Come see great acts like Dierks Bentley, Easton Corbin, Eric Paslay and Craig Campbell at the Schaghticoke fair grounds on July 12th! Just make sure to bring these five items with you.

We are all so excited for WGNA's CountryFest 2015 next month! The rest of the staff has been telling how amazing the show always is and how it's a fantastic day of live music. Have you gotten your tickets yet? Well, how would you like to be here: IN THE FRONT ROW...

We had the honor of having one of the acts who’ll be at Countryfest 2015 stop by the WGNA studio the other day.

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.

We've already announced our headliner, now it's your turn to tell us who else you'd like to see at Countryfest 2015!

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.

Let this be a lesson to anyone out there who doesn't recognize the names of some of the "up and comers" performing with Dierks Bentley at this year's Countryfest.  All of these people where unknowns once.  Check out these photos.

WGNA has a little something to make your Friday sweeter—Countryfest tickets go on sale!

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