Elvis

Country Idol 2013 kicked off it's fourth season at Vapor in Saratoga Casino and Raceway on January 17 with a packed dance floor, celebrity guest judges, some great singers, and Elvis!

The Northeast's biggest talent search begins on Thursday, January 17 at Vapor in Saratoga Casino and Raceway. To kick Country Idol off in a big way, we've got a very special guest planned to open the show.

January 8, 2013 marks the 78th anniversary of the birth of Elvis Presley.

Over the next two Sunday Mornings (1/6/13 and 1/13/13) WGNA presents the music of the stars of the Million Dollar Quartet on the Classic Country Hall of Fame Show.

On Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012 Michael's Banquet House in Latham will host a festive country dance party with the 'Patch It Up' Band and a Christmas Show with Elvis!

While most people think 'Blue Christmas' was originally recorded by Elvis Presley, the first time it hit No.1 on the charts was 1949, eight years before the 'King' would make it one of his most popular recordings.

As we honor the 35th anniversary of the passing of Elvis Presley (August 16, 1977), today we recognize Elvis' first No. 1 hit. Although many people assume 'Heartbreak Hotel' was 'The Kings' first No. 1, his first chart topper was actually released one year before that signature smash.

Thursday, August 16, 2012 marks 35 years since we lost Elvis Presley.  There are numerous Elvis impersonators all over the country, with some of the best located right here in the Northeast.

Thursday, August 16, 2012 will mark 35 years since we lost Elvis Presley in 1977, at the age of 42.  As we prepare to produce another edition of GNA's Sunday Morning Hall of Fame, many people question why we would feature Elvis on a country station.  But, did you know Elvis started in Country Music and is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame?

If you're headed to Atlantic City or Foxwoods for a road trip, we suggest you take in the ultimate live music tribute show, Legends In Concert. From Myrtle Beach to Las Vegas, this production has become one of the most exciting events for music lovers of all genres.

Every Sunday Morning I feature the best Country Classics of all-time on GNA's Classic Country Hall of Fame Show. Recently, we showcased the Top 10 Country Songs of the '50s. Do you remember who was popular back then?
