WYRK in Buffalo does two special acoustic shows per year -- one in the spring and one in the fall -- where they bring in three artists for what amounts to a guitar pull.

In addition to playing a few tunes, the 'Did It for the Girl' singer actually helped a Buffalo local ask his girlfriend to prom.
Lauren Alaina may be a country star who is in the studio working on her second album (the follow-up to her 2011 debut 'Wildflower'), but she's still a lot like your average 18-year-old.

Season 4 of 'The Voice' kicks off on March 25, and to ramp up excitement, a new promo for the show has been released. Will Blake Shelton notch his third win in a row?

Tim McGaw's 'Superstar Summer Night' is shaping up to be one star-studded event, thanks to a continually evolving lineup.
