Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson and company are headed to Saratoga Springs, New York for a SOLD OUT Farm Aid benefit concert and home grown food festival.

This Saturday, September 21, 2013 Farm Aid rolls in to Saratoga Springs, New York. Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellancamp, and Dave Mathews will lead a diverse line-up of musicians to promote one cause: Keeping Family Farmers On Their Land!

Year by year we seem to lose more and more Country Music legends. Now, we've lost one of the artists that appeared on Country Music's first platinum certified album for selling one million copies, Wanted: The Outlaws.

A longtime member of Willie Nelson's band died over the weekend. Jody Payne, Nelson's guitarist until 2008, woke up feeling ill on Saturday (Aug. 10) and died from cardiac problems at 5:12AM.

It’s time to rewind the clock and see what was at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Charts this week (July 26, 2013) in Country Music History. 50 Years Ago-1963 Act Naturally- Buck Owens (written by Johnny Russell) 40 Years Ago-1973 Love Is The Foundation- Loretta Lynn (1973 CMA Female Vocalist Of The Year) 30 Years Ago- 1983 Pancho and Lefty- Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard (pictured above from 201

Yes, you are reading correctly. Farm Aid 2013 has sold out at Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

The 2013 edition of Farm Aid will play Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Saturday, September 21. As usual, the diverse lineup will include artists from all-genres volunteering their time and talents to help the American farmer.

As we were honoring our local graduates, I stumbled across this photo that I wanted to share with our Country Music fans. This just isn't a picture that you'd imagine seeing anywhere in the history books!

Heavy rain showers didn't stop country music fans who'd come from all over to see Willie Nelson on Thursday night. Thousands packed Hunter Mountain in New York for the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival. Ponchos, umbrellas, cold beverages and great country music kept fans in good spirits while the LoCash Cowboys, Parmalee and Nelson took the stage.

Since 1985 Willie Nelson has toured the nation to help the American Farmer. Now, the historic national event will happen in our own backyard! Farm Aid 2013 is coming to Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

I've always LOVED parodying Willie Nelson.  I've always loved that "warble" when he sings.  So I gave it a shot this morning - pretending that he came on the air with us to hype his appearance at the Taste Of Country Music Festival at Hunter Mountain.  (Are  you going?)  Get those tix!.

Thursday, June 13th it all kicks off at Hunter Mountain. The first of 3 big days of country's biggest stars in concert at the 1st ever taste of Country Music Festival.
