I was excited when we announced Michael Ray for Countryfest for a couple reasons: He's incredibly talented, that voice and that face. So, can we just get to July 8th already?! At CMA fest in Nashville last weekend, Michael performed a brand new song that's going to be coming out on his new album.

Last July was my first big Countryfest experience as an employee of WGNA. I definitely knew what I was getting myself into, well, sort of. But, no one could have planned how my day would go. There's always a schedule in place that you can almost guarantee will be thrown out the window by 10am. It's inevitable. No matter the amount of planning that is done a show like this ends up working on it's o

My Mom and I do a lot of things together but sometimes she has these ideas and I have no idea where they come from. That's how I got dragged into my out of the ordinary Thursday night activities at the Palace Theatre.

It was the last big country show of the summer and you could feel the excitement in the air. The doors weren't even opened yet when Matty and I sat down with

The lazy days of summer are here and as we begin August avoid hearing the words "I'm bored!"

"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'm a fan of everything 90's: slap bracelets, Nintendo, F.R.I.E.N.D.S., Billy Ray Cyrus and his "Achy Breaky Heart"...so, this coming to the Times Union Center is going to be awesome!

They're hot. They're from Australia and they do magic. Not only do they do magic, they do naked magic.

By working at GNA, I'm experiencing a lot of firsts for myself. Growing up, Country music wasn't what I was surrounded by. In fact, I was surrounded by almost everything else - with the occasional Garth Brooks "Friends in Low Places" or Shania "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" blasting over my parents speakers. Then fast forward to 2016 and here I am diving head first into a pool of c

Giving birth is one of the most incredible experiences a mom, dad and family will ever have.  But, do you want every moment of said birth documented for the rest of time for anyone/everyone to see? That's the question that I was contemplating as I was scrolling through the endless supply of nonsense on the internet this evening...

In the last 2-months, I've had the amazing opportunity to get acclimated into the country world courtesy of 107-7 GNA. In my career, I've been blessed with the opportunity to meet and hang out with so many different musicians all across the board when it comes to genres, but honestly, not many from the country world until now.

Checking out the calendar and counting down the days. Countryfest 2016 can't get here quick enough! It'll be my first Countryfest so I've been going back through and listening to all of the his our lineup
