Watershed

Growing up in eastern North Carolina, the four men of Parmalee learned to mix good music and good eating from a very young age. The stove was always hot, or the grill was always burning when family would gather. And the live music rarely stopped.

This morning The Morning Bull Pen interviewed Matt Thomas from the group Parmalee, which will be at the Watershed Music Festival in the Gorge Amphitheatre next weekend and at the Central Washington State Fair on Sept. 25. I wanted to spice up the interview and play a little game with Matt. We played "60 seconds" with Paramlee. I asked rapid fire questions with quick answers from Matt. If

Parmalee has two dates in Central Washington this year at two different venues. The first is one of the hottest music festivals in the country, Watershed. The July 31-Aug. 2 gathering at the Gorge Amphitheatre features some of the hottest acts on the scene today. The second is our very own Central Washington State Fair, coming up Sept. 25 in Yakima.

The full schedule for this year's Watershed Festival has been released, and all I can say is dayum! It's gonna be one heck of a weekend for "shedders." Festival promoter Brian O'Connell has outdone himself once again.

Country newcomer Michael Ray has arrived just in time for Watershed Festival and his video for "Kiss You in the Morning" is making noise online. Ray even kisses a sweet little old lady at the end of the video -- his lovely grandma. I bet she's proud of her grandson for living his dream...

A battle of the ages: Two men with so much passion to earn their way to this summer's Watershed Festival they at the Gorge Amphitheatre are willing to risk their health and safety just to win a pair of tickets to the July 31-Aug. 2 country music blowout.

It took less than 30 minutes for Watershed to sellout even with a $50 increase in ticket prices. Watershed creator Brian O'Connell, affectionately known as BOC to "Shedders" made the announcement on their facebook page at 10:30AM.

To survive at Watershed Festival takes more than preparing for a nice relaxed weekend at the KOA campground at the Gorge Amphitheatre. This is Watershed, the ACM-nominated country music festival that lasts three days in the heart of Central Washington. Having been there myself, I can tell you it's truly an experience you'll never forget. If you're a first-time Shedder, we want to help you get to W

The Watershed Festival announced their all-star lineup for 2015! The 3 day country music binge, which will take place at the Gorge Amphitheatre July 31-Aug. 2 is guaranteed to be a blast. So now the race is on for tickets, which go on sale Tuesday at 10 a...

It's all settled: Carrie Underwood will headline Watershed 2015 at the Gorge Amphitheatre this summer with the returning Dierks Bentley and festival first-timers Florida Georgia Line. Also in the July 31-Aug. 2 lineup are Chris Young, Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett, Hunter Hayes, Jana Kramer and others.

Watershed fever is setting in, thanks to this recent spurt of sunshine. The buzz also might be related to fact that the very successful country music festival at the Gorge Amphitheatre near George is just eight days away from announcing the lineup for this year's party.

Dierks Bentley announced his 2015 Sounds of Summer Tour on Monday, and as you can see from the list below Quincy is right next to Sweet Home, Ore., on the list. This translates into two things: 1.) Dierks is playing at the Oregon Jamboree, and 2...
