April 14, 2012 If Eric Church can sing about Springsteen, I guess we can talk about him. When the news broke yesterday that "The Boss" was coming to Vernon Downs, many people (me included) thought this has to be a joke. But it's not!
April 6, 2012 Montgomery Gentry fans rejoice! The Syracuse show we told you last week was cancelled, is back on. There weren't many details as to why the show was axed and there still aren't. According to Montgomery Gentry's website the show is a go.
April 5, 2012 Easton Corbin is not only getting ready for Wild West FrogFest & Rodeo June 9th, he's gearing up for the release of a new album with a new single 'Lovin' You is Fun.' And if you're heading to FrogFest, you'll be the first to hear the new music. I had the privileged to talk with Easton, who happened to be just getting out bed. 9am is early for a musician and he had to set his alarm to get up for the interview.
March 30, 2012 Wild West FrogFest & Rodeo is set for June 9th at the Herkimer County Fairgrounds with headliners Easton Corbin and Josh Thompson. But who will open the show?
March 22, 2012 Finally! Jason Aldean is coming to town. He'll take the stage at the New York State Fair this year. Luke Bryan will open the show Friday August 31st.
Summertime is just around the corner, which means country music’s hottest artists are gearing up for tour season to launch into overdrive. And there’s no exception for Toby Keith, who just announced his 2012 tour coming in June, with several stops in Central New York.
March 1, 2012 Happy March 1st. We made it through January and February, and now onto the home stretch as we approach spring. But, as Yogi Berra once said "It ain't over 'til it's over", so winter weather is still in the cards. There are a number of things we can look forward to in March.
February 16, 2012 James Wesley is another of the performers at our Intimate Acoustic Concert at the Rome Capitol Theatre March 14. His real name is James Wesley Prosser and he's on his second career as a singer. In the late 90's he recorded an album as James Prosser, ten years later he found huge success releasing the hits "real" and "Didn't I" as James Wesley. A lot happened in those ten years; kids, losing his record deal and finding himself. James talks about it all.
February 15, 2012 Dustin Lynch is one of the featured performers at our Intimate Acoustic Concert at the Rome Capitol Theatre March 14. His debut song, "Cowboys and Angels" was released a short time ago and has already made it into the Top 40. The first week it was first released, we had a chance to talk with Dustin while he was snowed in, in Wisconsin. He talks about lake jumping with Dierks Bentley in January and being mentioned in the same breath as Alan Jackson, Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts.
February 15, 2012 A sure sign of summer in central New York is the return of Saranac Thursdays in the parking lot of the F.X. Matt Brewery on Court Street in Utica. Well, we've got a long way to go until then, but the brewery is now accepting info from bands who wish to be considered as entertainment for one of the Thursdays.
February 10, 2012 Valentine's Day isn't until next week but Gloriana is giving fans their gift now.
