The 2014 Illinois State Fair in Springfield is again set to go with some high powered country talent on stage, including Florida Georgia Line and Jake Owen.

Country bands Parmalee and The Henningsens will be live at the Riverside Casino and Golf Resort in Riverside, Iowa.

Eight new artists are competing for New Artist of the Year honors at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Three came from reality television, one came from scripted television, three made it the old-fashioned way and one came from out of nowhere to become one of the hottest concert tickets in country music. Who do you think should win the New Artist of the Year award?

Parmalee do what they do best on more than half the songs on 'Feel Like Carolina.' This group of reformed rockers compel you to buy a ticket to their live show with songs like 'I'll Bring the Music,' Dance' and especially 'Move.'

On June 22, Tracy Lawrence headlined the 30th annual Quincy Firefighters Local 63 Country Music Concert at the Adams County Fairgrounds. Joe Nichols was the Friday Night Star Concert at the annual Adams County Fair on July 26. We were at both shows, and they were a blast! Did you go to both? Which one did you like best?

With songs like 'Musta Had a Good Time,' 'Day Drinking' and 'Staring Down the Barrel of a Shot Glass,' one gets the impression that the Parmalee guys like to lead the party. Matt Thomas and Josh McSwain opened up about their wild ways during a video interview before their set at the Taste of Country Music Festival on Thursday (June 13).
