Here’s a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Alan Jackson
Age: 53
Occupation: Singer, Songwriter, and Musician
Known For: Blending honky tonk and mainstream country sounds, 35 number one country hits such as ‘Don’t Rock the Jukebox’ and ‘Chattahoochee,’ winning two Grammy Awards, and being a member of the Grand Ole Opry
Alan Jackson recently ran an online contest offering to play a free concert in the city with the most votes. Even though Mineral, VA is a tiny community (population 490) and suffered heavy losses from the magnitude 5.8 earthquake that hit the East Coast in August, it managed to garner 31,000 votes and win the prize.
A.J. has left the building....but after 35 #1 songs...I don't think he'll have a problem finding a new home for his music. Good luck, Alan! We'll be cheering you on here in Louisiana!
You can win Alan Jackson's "34 Number Ones" and "The Best of Larry the Cable Guy" all day FREE on 97.3 the DAWG!
Got a new awards show tonight on Fox at 7pm, the American Country Awards. Josh Turner is a little curious as to how it will all play out.
We've got more of our kind of music in the spotlight tonight on television!
