Jason Aldean is following in his good friend Luke Bryan's footsteps, announcing Thursday that he'll be hosting a country music awards show.
Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes received 6 nominations this morning for the 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Congrats from 97.3 the Dawg!
Nominees for the 2013 ACM Awards were announced Wednesday morning during a digital press conference at the ACM Facebook and Twitter pages. Eric Church leads his country peers with seven nominations, including Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year. It's up to fans to decide who will be named Entertainer of the Year. Five artists -- including both ACM hosts -- are up for a chance to win the night's biggest prize on April 7 in Las Vegas.
As we get ready for Classic Country Saturday Night tonight with Chris Logan, it's always fun to take a look back at some of the big events and achievements in country music history.
Having the biggest country music scandal of any year is an honor that comes with few congratulatory messages, so it seems unlikely many will be showered upon Jason Aldean for winning at the 2012 Taste of Country Awards. His night out with dancer and former 'American Idol' contestant Brittany Kerr was named the Scandal of the Year by Taste of Country readers.
Fans hoping to catch a performance by Toby Keith during the upcoming CMA Awards ceremony can think again. The often outspoken singer has given the long-standing country music establishment the proverbial middle finger, blatantly refusing to attend the event despite a nomination in the Music Video of the Year category for 'Red Solo Cup.'
Kelly Clarkson is celebrating the major milestone of 10 successful years as a recording artist with the release of 'Greatest Hits - Chapter 1,' the first hits compilation package from the very first winner of 'American Idol.' The album, which features the first radio single, 'Catch My Breath,' will be available in stores and at all digital retailers just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley and the Zac Brown Band have all been added to the list of country music superstars confirmed to perform during the 2012 CMA Awards telecast, which will air live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 1.
As the year gets ready to wind down, Eric Church can certainly look back on 2012 and smile. While he has been at the music game for quite some time, this year was essentially the first 'break' he got in the industry -- finally embraced by the community for his incredible work as a singer, songwriter and entertainer.
