Just a couple hours west on the Thruway is the 2019 New York State Fair in Syracuse. You can enjoy all that the fair has to offer including the crazy food, rides, shows, and country music.

We're all pumped up for the Arena Bowl Sunday night and pretty darn sure our Empire are gonna crush the Philadelphia Soul.  Here's the parody song you may have heard on the show with Brian and Chrissy this week on GNA!

Is it happening? Not happening? It really depends on the week, and this week the festival back in play at a new venue.

Countryfest is just two weeks from today (Saturday, July 6th) and we caught up with headliner Old Dominion. They opened up about how they come up with ideas and lyrics for their hit songs.
