Neal McCoy Heads to Cancun to Support Cancer

Neal McCoy

Neal McCoy along with Keith Anderson, Chuck Wicks, Trent Willmon, Wade Hayes, Laura Bell Bundy and Joanna Smith will perform at 2nd Annual Country on the Beach to be held at the Beach Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico. In true Neal fashion, this will be an electrifying show sure to keep fans on their feet dancing to tunes like “Day-O” by Harry Belafonte and his own # 1 smash hit“Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On”. Sponsored by American Airlines and GAC, the Country on the Beach entertainment starts at sundown on Thursday, and will continue throughout the weekend with sand, sun, fun and plenty of great music!

“We work hard on our entertainment and are proud to have Neal McCoy, Keith Anderson, Chuck Wicks, Trent Willmon, Wade Hayes, Laura Bell Bundy and Joanna Smith,” says T.J. Martell Foundation Executive Director Laura Heatherly. “Our adventure will start about sundown on Thursday, November 18 with artist/songwriter entertainment and go way into the wee hours of Friday. Friday will be our first big concert followed by “dualing keyboards” (yes, back by popular demand) plus we are adding “open mic” night too. So those of you looking for your “big break,” what a better place to achieve that. Saturday will be our main concert and finale event with all artists and again…partying until dawn.”

There are many other wonderful things planned and they will be updated as they progress. Remember “The Days are yours….The Nights are ours”!!!

CMA Fest Day 4

Even though the last day of CMA Fest topped out at 109 degrees, CMA Fest was still in full swing. We spent our day at the Taylor Swift meet n’greet, Riverfront Park, and LP Field. The 4 day party was coming to and end.

At Riverfront Park, we saw Jo Dee Messina and Uncle Kracker. It was obvious that the heat was starting to get to people…especially the artists. But, Jo Dee took it in stride and sang songs old and new. She has a great way with the crowd, and got them involved with a sing-a-long contest with “I’m Alright.” She gave away 1,000 copies of her latest album to fans, and handed out even more after her set.

Uncle Kracker has dipped his toes in country music on and off with Kenny Chesney and his latest song “Smile.” However, there was no smiling yesterday at Riverfront. He literally looked as if he was going to pass-out from the heat. He sang “Smile,” “Drift Away,” and “Follow Me.”

LP Field was holding nothing back on it’s last night. Justin Moore, Kellie Pickler, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Darius Rucker, and Brad Paisley were on the line-up for the final night. Kellie Pickler rocked the big-stage in a red mini dress and some high sparkly heels.

My favorite of the night by far was Blake Shelton. Blake, looking hot in more ways than one, performed a great set of “Ol’ Red,” “She Wouldn’t Be gone,” and “Kiss My Country Ass.” For a special treat, Miranda Lambert joined Blake on stage for a stunning version of “Home.” Stealing sweet glances up at each other the entire time, Blake and Miranda sounded amazing. The obvious highlight of his set was “Hillbilly Bone.” Trace Adkins came out to sing the rowdy party anthem, and LP Field LOVED it!

Trace was next on the list. He really kept the crowd up and moving with “Swing,” Hot Mama,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” and “You’re Gonna Miss This.” I thought LP Field was gonna blow when he started singing “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.” Next up, Darius Rucker proved his country side when he sang “Alright,” “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” and a phenomenal version of “Purple Rain.”

Always a crowd favorite, Brad Paisley shook the stadium the last night of LP Field. He sang his hits “Welcome to the Future,” “Water,” and “American Saturday Night.” Brad was joined on stage by Chuck Wicks, Justin Moore, and Darius Rucker for a rowdy version of “Alcohol.”

We want to personally thank Chevy for sponsoring our trip with great tickets, and we’ll be giving away some great Chevy merchandise really soon! We also want to thank CMA for putting on such a great event, helping fans get close to the artists they love. We also want to thank EVERYONE who attended CMA Fest this year. Nashville needed the world to know that we are indeed OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!! See y’all next year!

The Battle of the Grand Ole Opry & After Midnite with Blair Garner

The friendly battle between the Grand Ole Opry and the After Midnite with Blair Garner teams continued tonight at Greer Stadium in Nashville.  Known as the “unofficial kickoff” to CMA Fest, the City of Hope Celebrity Softball Challenge is always a crowd pleaser.  With big names like Carrie Underwood, Chuck Wicks, Craig Morgan, David Nail, Jason Aldean, Joe Nichols, Josh Thompson, Luke Bryan, Mallary Hope, Melissa Peterman, The Band Perry, Whitney Duncan, and many others fans know they are in for a treat.

For the last 21 years the Softball Challenge has helped raise funds and awareness for City of Hope’s lifesaving mission (http://www.cityofhope.org).

For the first 4 innings of the game you would have thought it was going to be a total shut-out with the Grand Ole Opry team not holding back and leading 10 -4.  But the trash talk and friendly bantering must have given the After Midnite team just the motivation they needed.  With a huge comeback in the 6th inning the After Midnite team tied up the game and came back to win in an extra inning!

The final score:
After Midnite with Blair Garner Team – 15
Grand Ole Opry Team – 10

A big surprise for fans tonight was seeing Carrie Underwood’s fiance, Mike Fisher, added to the Grand Ole Opry lineup.   To help celebrate their recent engagement, Blair Garner and her team members treated Carrie and Mike to a surprise bridal shower on the field.   With gifts like towels, bowls and hand clean up items thrown at the couple they almost forgot there was a ball game being played.

The evening was full of great surprises and fun had by all for a great cause.  For more information about City of Hope please visit their website at: http://www.cityofhope.org.

Julianne Hough says Ryan Seacrest Dating Rumors are Crazy

Rumors are flying that Julianne Hough and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest are dating…Well, OK Magazine is setting the record straight. During the ACM Awards, Julianne said the two weren’t an item.

“It’s so crazy,” she tells me during the ACM Awards held in Las Vegas this week. “I keep hearing these rumors, but I don’t know. I know him from interviews. We’ve had lunch together with people – my manager, and stuff like that.”

Like sands through an hour-glass…so are the days of our lives…Get it…I crack myself up. Julianne has basically been linked to everyone under the sun since her and Chuck Wicks split…including Dane Cook and Kings of Leon frontman Jared Followill. I guess we’ll have to keep searching for the real dude who’s stolen Julianne’s heart.
