January 2, 2013 With a new year upon that means new adventures and entertainment. If you haven't heard yet Carrie Underwood is coming back to Yakima on February 22nd and she's bringing rising Country Singer Hunter Hayes. Carrie's Blown Away Tour will be a great way to start the new year with some live country music. My question to you now is which Country Star would you like to see play the Sundome in 2013?
Those who sing together ... get inked together? Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean have placed their solidarity for the Buck Commander franchise on display, tattooing the company's logo on their biceps as a form of permanent endorsement.
In order to honor the ultimate 2012 American Country Awards artist, Jewel and her husband, bull rider Ty Murray, took to the stage to announce the Artist of the Year winner. It's been such a great year for country music that it was kind of difficult to guess which artist would snag the coveted guitar award.
It's hard to imagine anyone but Luke Bryan making 'Drunk on You' one of country music's 2012 summertime smashes, but according to Jason Aldean, he had first dibs on the sexy mid-tempo track. Aldean ultimately turned down the tune because it didn't fit the sonic direction of his latest album, 'Night Train.'
Country stars shined on stage and on the red carpet at the 2012 American Music Awards on Sunday night. The ABC broadcast featured performances by Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, and moments to celebrate for fans of Underwood, Swift, Luke Bryan and Lady Antebellum. These four artists were just a few of Nashville's best that turned heads on the AMAs red carpet.
Luke Bryan won the 2012 American Music Award for Favorite Country Male during Sunday's (Nov. 18) TV broadcast. He beat out his 'The Only Way I Know' cohorts Jason Aldean and Eric Church for the prize, which was presented by Lady Antebellum.
The dust seems have settled on the recent incident involving Jason Aldean. In September, the 'Take a Little Ride' singer was photographed kissing former 'American Idol' contestant Brittany Kerr in a Los Angeles bar. Aldean has since apologized, acknowledging that he "screwed up."
When you've written many hits, it's easy to forget where some ideas came from, just as David Lee Murphy did with 'The Only Way I Know' lyrics -- the latest single from Jason Aldean -- which he co-wrote with Ben Hayslip.
Luke Bryan reprised his role as the red carpet correspondent for 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' at the 2012 CMA Awards, and his job was to play Truth or Dare with whatever celebs came up to him as they walked the media line. Well, when Blake Shelton showed up for a chat, he took the dare and planted a big ol' kiss on Bryan's cheek. More than once. We bet that was more than Bryan bargained for when he signed up for the gig.
A new class of country heroes has taken over the Male Vocalist of the Year category at the CMA Awards. Once-familiar names like Chesney and Paisley have been purged from the list of nominees, with newcomers like Luke Bryan and Eric Church filling the spots in 2012. While one can argue for someone other than these five men, it's difficult to argue against any of them. Who do you think will win the Male Vocalist of the Year award at the 2012 CMAs?
