November 2, 2011 There has certainly been a lot of younger country artists getting their big break thanks to shows like "American Idol". Phyllis Stark with MSN Entertainment has detailed 13 promising Country Artists under the age of 30.
Reba McEntire struck sitcom gold with her first series, the sensibly titled ‘Reba,’ which ran on the WB and CW networks from 2001-2007. She’s concentrated on her music career since ‘Reba’ left the air, releasing a trio of bestselling albums — including her most recent effort, 2010′s ‘All the Women I Am’ — and returning to the road for successful tours.
Viewers who still mourn the loss of ‘Reba’ can take comfort, however because Reba has announced that she hopes to return to the small screen as the star and executive producer of an ABC series titled ‘Malibu Country.’
With 2011 more than half over — and the summer concert season winding down — Billboard has tallied up the totals for the year’s biggest tours so far, and a number of country artists are going strong.
U2 leads the list, with a nearly $175 million gross, with the top five rounded out by Roger Waters ($114 million), Bon Jovi ($107 million), Lady Gaga ($72 million), and Usher ($70 million). And the year’s biggest country tours? Kenny Chesney (No. 9, $25 million) and the George Strait/Reba pairing (number 15, $17.5 million).
Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Carrie Underwood will be part of a star studded evening to honor former President, George H.W. Bush.
The event is being organized by the 'Points of Light Institute' to honor the former President's leadership and to highlight the role voluntary service plays in the betterment of our families and communities nationwide.
