March 28, 2014 Gary Allan continues to have a lot of fans and continues to be a critic favorite as well, which is no easy task. For my Country Throwback this week, I'll share the video of my favorite Gary Allan song.
August 12, 2013 Miranda Lambert just released the video for her new single 'All Kinds Of Kinds', and it uses a lot of video from her June performance at Country Fest.
July 3, 2013 I was pretty excited to go this last Saturday to Country Fest in Cadott, WI. The line-up included headliner Toby Keith, Little Big Town, Neal McCoy, David Nail and more. I had already seen Toby perform before, so I was really looking forward to Little Big Town. The thought of seeing Neal McCoy didn't exactly get me running to the stage, but I am sure glad I did.
July 2, 2013 Well I guess I got off easy with a mild sprained ankle. The Eau Claire Leader Telegram is reporting that several people were injured over the weekend at the free fall experience attraction at Country Fest over the weekend. The most severe was a broken neck and back, also two people broke their ankles doing the jump.
June 6, 2013 For me, one of the biggest highlights of the CMT Music Awards was Little Big Town's performance of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain'. You can't beat this performance for pure vocal power and harmonies, plus adding Keith Urban on guitar is always a great thing (just ask Tim McGraw). Remember, we still have plenty of room on our Country Fest Express to see Little big Town 'live June 29th. Just listen to win.
May 27, 2013 Our Pick Your Seat contest starts up again bright and early Tuesday with Ken & Cathy and we still have a lot of winning seats on our coach bus to Country Fest! Saturday, June 29th we're bringing you to see Toby Keith, Little Big Town and more at Country Fest. We'll pay for the gas and your tickets, you just need to bring someone and have fun!
Little Big Town just released the video for their new song 'Your Side Of The Bed'.
June 25, 2012 I've been to a lot of concerts and I've seen a lot of performances, but I have a hard time remembering one as electrifying as Keith Urban's last night at Country Fest. He was high energy and a lot of fun. Several times he would run into the crowd and rock out with a fan, shredding his guitar solos right there in the aisle. He also invited some fans onstage to sing "Kiss A Girl."
June 12, 2012 Having been in country radio for quite a while now, I've had a chance to see most of these acts and can tell you what to expect from this year's Country Fest. There's still a chance for you to win tickets too, keep reading for details.
June 3, 2012 Sad news to report in country music as Dierks Bentley's dad passed away Friday (June 1) in Phoenix, at the age of 88. Dierks confirmed the death in a Twitter message he sent Saturday morning, noting, "It was an honor to comfort him as he left us. Thank you, fans, for the time and understanding."
May 22, 2012 Big & Rich are known for their crazy, rowdy songs like 'Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)'. The Country Fest stars are back with a change of pace that could turn out to be a big hit for them. Rather than sing about drinks and causing trouble, they have gone for social commentary and religion on 'That's Why I Pray'. Take a look and listen and tell us what you think.
May 15, 2012 Now that we have more room aboard the Country Fest Express, it's time to give you a preview of the kind of show you can win your way to see!
