August 26, 2011 Imagine that you're a teenager and you get tickets to one of your favorite artists, Taylor Swift. I'm sure you'd be thrilled! But, to have your heart throb join her on stage?????? Ok, maybe a little jealous, but ecstatic wouldn't even describe the feeling after that surprise! Well, it happened in LA, and they sang "Baby", one of Justin Beiber's songs togther, further showing Taylor's talent.
August 23, 2011 I was living in Nashville, and at the Bluebird Cafe, when this nerdy guy in a George Strait look-a-like get-up sits down and talks about how much he likes George. We were not interested at that point, everyone likes George. Then he sang, nope, nothing there, sounds too much like George. So, we got up and left.
6 months or so later I was working at Tower Records when Garth's CD came out and I was putting them on the shelf. I thought he looked like the guy we walked out on, so I figured he wouldn't last long. During Fan Fair, what it used to be called, we had the chance to get Garth in live to perform with just a guitar. He was a little afraid to perform in so intimate of a setting with not much for sound gear. He came out and sang "The Dance", I thought,
August 16, 2011 I knew when I saw the images and videos of the stage falling it was bad, then I wondered what band it was that was supposed to play and why they weren't hurt.
It came down to seconds and one instinctive decision that may have saved the lives of country duo Sugarland and others at the Indiana State Fair where five people died when a stage collapsed.
August 16, 2011 Taylor proves just what a pro performer she is, when she has an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while performing in St. Louis. Always a role model for our youth, she chooses to continue with her song, rather than become a drama queen! I guess she can join the ranks of Marilyn Monroe now! Proud of you Taylor!
Time will tell if we’ll still need her when she’s 64, but last month, Taylor Swift was the biggest concert draw in the land — selling even more tickets than Paul McCartney.
According to numbers released by the ticketing service TicketsNow, Swift accounted for an amazing six percent of system-wide sales, good enough to place her sixth on the all-agency list of events for the month.
August 14, 2011 So sad, let's hope the remaining victims pull through.
A fifth person has died from the collapse of an outdoor concert stage in heavy wind just before a weekend show at the Indiana State Fair, which was shut down on Sunday, authorities said.
More than 40 people were injured in the collapse on Saturday night, just minutes before the country duo Sugarland was set to begin performing, Indiana State Police said.
Some of the injuries were extremely serious, and more people could die, said State Police Sgt. Dave Bursten at a news conference.
August 8, 2011 If you have never been to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, you should make plans to go. This year there are new things and displays. Country Music has enjoyed another big year and has made an announcement of their plans.
The Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum has a busy August on tap. Having just announced their plans to expand, the Museum will host live music, launch a new exhibit and allow fans to meet and greet artists.
