Blackjack Billy

Country on the River 2015 may have saved the best for last. Saturday's (Aug. 8) stacked lineup included a festival-closing set by Dierks Bentley, as well as performances by Randy Houser, Jerrod Niemann, Blackjack Billy and American Young.

Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott talked about what their babies are up to before taking the stage with Charles Kelley and Lady Antebellum at 2014 Country Jam in Grand Junction, Colo. on Friday night. Of course for Haywood, Baby A isn't born yet, but he was kind enough to provide a pregnancy update. They're just one of over a dozen artists who stopped to talk with Taste of Country backstage at the festival.

Fans covered Hunter Mountain like snow in December during Dierks Bentley's set at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. on Friday night. The singer was the last of five singers to take the stage, and was forced to follow a powerful show from Brantley Gilbert. He handled the pressure well.

All five of Friday's performers at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. took a moment backstage to talk about their new music, live shows, or what they'd be drinking if they were part of the crowd. Dierks Bentley talked about how his wife feels about his pilot's outfit. Blackjack Billy showed everyone how to (or how not to) line dance.

The Taste of Country Music Festival has begun, and things are already getting a little crazy. Backstage, before they took the stage, Friday night's performers stopped to take a "Good luck selfie," with a twist.

Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood and Dierks Bentley are three of the big-name acts who will be at the 2014 Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. The second annual music festival will be hitting the shores of Panama City Beach, Fla. to celebrate Labor Day and the lineup boasts more than a few big names in country music.

Country Jam 2014 in Grand Junction, Colo. just got a whole lot bigger. Brantley Gilbert has just been announced as a performer for this four-day festival, one of the biggest and longest-running in the country.

Nine new artists have just been added to the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival lineup, which already included Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and Brantley Gilbert.

Country stars keep falling at the feet of Randy Travis and his fans. Over the weekend, the singer's single 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum' topped 'Sweet Annie,' the latest from Zac Brown Band. That makes three in a row for Travis. Today and Tuesday, his song will take on one of the jams of the summer.

The summer's biggest party is on board 'The Booze Cruise,' an infectious new track from Blackjack Billy. From the first hit of electric guitar, one finds himself inspired to stand up and shake it, even if -- or especially if -- office etiquette discourages such behavior.
