If there is one thing that is cool about technology and social media it's that it has closed the gap between us normal folk and celebrities considerably.
This job is cool.
No, for real. It can been frustrating at times, with long hours that seem never ending, always having to be 'on' with perkiness when all you want to do is crawl into bed. Then there are moments like the Interstates and Tailgates tour when all you want to do is find a solo cup and let loose!
The one and only Toby Keith will be at SPAC this Sunday and I started to wonder just how many people are as excited as I am. If I'm being honest we have not heard as much new music from Toby in quite a while. While that is about to change with him having just released a new song, still I wonder if the old saying "out of sight, out of mind" applies here, I sure hope not...
Dustin Lynch was just in town last weekend with Luke Bryan and some of you may have heard his latest single, "Seein' Red" for the first time that night but it is already causing a little bit of a stir with some Dustin Lynch fans on the internet. What is the big controversy? It seems some fans think it is a bit to "pop country" or "Taylor Swift" for their tastes and pr
Sunday Little Big Town came to SPAC and put on an incredible performance as always. Bethany and I were lucky enough to get them to sit down for an interview before the show and had a great time. These guys and gals are so very cool and down to earth and are always a good time so we thought maybe they wouldn't mind playing a little game with us.
I love Raelynn.
I have been fortunate enough to meet Raelynn on a few occasions and I have taken to just call her "Sunshine" because you truly can not be in a bad mood around her she lights up a room with her childlike joy, smile and enthusiasm for life...
It's always fun preparing for the big shows coming to the Capital Region and this weekend is a BIG one. I mean, who hasn't heard of Luke Bryan or Little Big Town?!
When LoCash comes to Alive at Five, nothing else matters.
It didn't matter that it was 92 degrees and humid.
It didn't matter that dark grey skies appeared.
"Oh, I'm so nervous," said my 84-year old Nana.
She has been known to pick the "American Idol" winners from the audition process alone for the past 10 years. This final season was no different. In fact, Trent Harmon was quickly dubbed her "boyfriend" of the season.
I am so excited just one sleep away from WGNA's Countryfest 2016. The build up over this last week has been so much fun and Bethany and I got to talk to every one of the performers on the show this week. If you missed them I know we are planning on replaying most of them tomorrow morning during our Saturday morning 6 am - 10 am shift. Just to get you even more excited and revved up about the show
"I started this band 12 years ago in Kalamazoo Michigan man, and I've never looked back and we have been hammerin' it and hammerin' it just trying to get better."
That strategy is working out nicely for Frankie Ballard who to this point has already had 3 different songs go to number one in country airplay...
My wife and I were just talking about how much fun this year's Taste of Country Music Festival is going to be and she asked me a great question. She said, "Hey don't you guys always announce the next year's headliner on Saturday night at the concert? Who do you think it will be?" I honestly had no idea but I did get excited that yes in just a couple of days I will be finding out right al
