Get ready to rock at Fix @ 6 on Friday! This week the party moves to Santa Fe Red’s at 1223 Grand Avenue with live music from Repeat Performance! Not only will you enjoy the great music but some great specials too!
Lauren Alaina may have given her dad the best Father’s Day gift ever this weekend. The former ‘American Idol’ contestant called him on stage to accompany her on the guitar as she sang a few songs. The real gift — for concert attendees and Alaina’s father — was their father/daughter rendition of ‘When You Say Nothing at All.’
Competition was stiff tonight for the 2012 CMT Music Awards for the CMT Performance of the Year award. Thanks to CMT’s television shows, series and specials, there have been plenty of rocking live shows aired on the television station this year. But none beat out Jason Aldean, who took home his first gold buckle ever.
As a celebrity coach on NBC’s hit show ‘The Voice,’ Blake Shelton spends most of his time sitting alongside his fellow coaches in his futuristic-looking red swivel chair that has become such an integral part of the show. But next week, the laid-back country coach will be taking a break from his chair-warming duties to join his four remaining team members onstage. Though Shelton has a slight advantage over his team members (he can’t get voted off), he will be stepping into their shoes Monday night (April 16) for a joint performance.
During last night’s taping of CMT’s ‘Artist of the Year’ celebration, Hank Williams Jr. walked off the stage without explanation during a live performance of ‘Tattoos on This Town’ with one of the night’s honorees, Jason Aldean. Later, he tried to explain through his management team that he didn’t feel he was doing the song justice.
Three finalists are left to fight over the mirror ball trophy during next week’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ finale, and Lady Antebellum will be on hand to watch. The country trio announced on their Twitter page that they’ll be performing.
When Brad Paisley stepped out to announce Lady Antebellum‘s performance at the 2011 CMA Awards, he stepped out onto an empty stage. Looking around with mock bewilderment for his co-host, Paisley was met instead by a bedazzled Miss Piggy. The muppet worked her wiles only long enough for Carrie Underwood to emerge from backstage in an equally sparkling gown and accuse Miss P of locking her in her dressing room.
Nashville was rocking tonight with country’s biggest stars like Keith Urban, Zac Brown, Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum providing the soundtrack for the 2011 CMA Awards! Blake Shelton opened the night with a high-flying performance of ‘Footloose.’ Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter teamed up for a tender performance of ‘You and Tequila,’ and Taylor Swift performed her new single ‘Ours’ on what looked like her worn in living room couch.
April 3, 2011 Between Taylor Swift winning Entertainer of the Year and Jennifer Nettles' epic duet with R&B superstar Rihanna, the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards was certainly a night to remember.
Just in case you missed a second of tonight's telecast from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Taste of Country has put together a frame-by-frame gallery of the ceremony's best highlights.
