Country Music Pictures

There’s something really special happening at the CMA Awards tonight, and it hits close to home for the Southern Tier. One of our own is stepping onto one of the biggest stages in country music!

Toby Keith, the celebrated country music singer and actor, has passed away after battling stomach cancer.

His choice of attire became a source of debate.

This is so awesome!  Dan McGurk, young man with down syndrome and a huge Kid Rock fan, was celebrating his 30th birthday when he got the thrill of a lifetime.  Guess who showed up?!  None other than Kid Rock and some band members, giving Dan, the surprise of his life.

Going back about fifteen years with this photo.  Man how the time flies.  Can't help but feel a little old looking at this one.  Happy to pass along that Steve Benjamin (keyboards) will be reuniting with us for our show on May 31, 2014.

You know "the look." The famous Taylor Swift face she made for many years while winning award after award at major music award shows. That's just one of the many varied looks the singer and actress has provided fans since she debuted in 2006.

It may have rained on Thursday but it didn't keep country music fans from pouring into Hunter Mountain.  The three day country concert event, Taste of Country Music Festival, has come to a close and the reviews are in..."Yee-haw!!!"  Next year's headliner has already been announced.

Last Friday night was a great night at the historic Oneonta Theatre.  Taste of Country Music Festival held a Battle of the Bands and we had four great contenders.  Tumbleweed Highway won the competition and will kick off next Saturday's lineup of the three day concert event June 13, 14, and 15, 2013 in Hunter Mountain N.Y.

Lady Antebellum has released anew single, "Downtown" and performed it yesterday on CBS's The Talk.  Hillary Scott, Charles Kelly, and Dave Haywood delighted viewers with their tight harmonies and catchy melodies.  I couldn't help but check out Hillary's baby bump.  What an exciting time for her.  Dave and Charles appeared to be thrilled about the new comer to the group.  Lady Antebellum

'"Cowboys and Angels" will hanging out together in June as Taste Of Country Music Festival comes to Hunter Mountain in Hunter, New York, June 13, 14, and 15, 2013.  We are so pleased to be working with Dustin Lynch again.  You'll remember we hosted an acoustic night with Lynch in March of 2012 here in Oneonta.
