To celebrate National Senior Citizens Day, which is August 21, we thought we’d look ahead to how country music’s top stars will look when they get closer to becoming AARP members. Many — like Blake Shelton and Jana Kramer — promise to age gracefully. Others… well, not so much. Sorry about that, Taylor Swift!
August 20, 2012 Thousands of country and blues fans flocked to the grandstands last Saturday night (August 18) for the final concert of the 2012 Missouri State Fair, featuring blues legend George Thorogood and the Destroyers and country icon Hank Williams Jr. The packed show could be heard throughout the fairgrounds late into the night, and both Thorogood and Hank Jr. put on a terrific show. Check out the photos from the concert here.
LoCash Cowboys put on an amazing show Friday night (August 17) out at Cadillac Ranch in Warrensburg. The duo played their chart topping hits, including “You Gonna Fly,” “Truck Yeah” and “C.O.U.N.T.R.Y.” and “Here Comes Summer.” Chris and Preston also unveiled some brand new songs that are in the works. They brought a few special guests to share the stage as well, including LoCash Cowboy superfan Nick and country rockers Bush Hawg, who are playing at the Bud Tent at this year’s Missouri State Fair. Check out the scenes from this high-energy show that had everyone in the crowd yelling “Truck Yeah!”
Behka, Huntin' Harry and myself had the chance to check out the Jake Owen and Colt Ford show at the Missouri State Fair. A great time was had by all and the concert was fantastic. Here's some of the pictures we took.
The 2012 Missouri State Fair, marks the 50th anniversary of the Missouri State Fair Volunteer Fire Department, who are the most unique firefighters in the state. The reason for this is because the department itself only exists for two weeks out of the year during the Missouri State Fair.
I had a couple of duties throughout Saturday (August 11) that I like to call the perks of the job. I hung out in the Bud Tent to introduce Jason Cassidy at the 2 p.m. show. Even though he was running a little bit behind since he had a late night in Wichita, he played an assortment of music from Montgomery Gentry to Jamey Johnson, and then music from his new CD on A Blake Records, My Redemption. He shared a story during the set that the title track was that he got away from going to church and then sometime when he met his wife, he came back to the church. He got a good round of applause for that and also the set he put on. If you missed out on him, you can see him play again today (Sunday, August 12) at 2 and 6 p.m.
August 11, 2012 Josh Thompson and Justin Moore took the stage at the Pepsi Grandstands on Friday, August 10. Thompson took the stage first and even shared the stage with Justin Moore a little bit. Our own Bruce in the Morning got the pleasure of introducing Justin Moore to the stage. Both performers played nice and loud, and could be heard throughout the fairgrounds. Check out the photos from the concert here.
I had the opportunity to go backstage to meet Wade Bowen and Randy Rogers at the Missouri State Fair. Everyone was great. Both bands took the time to talk to their fans during their meet and greets. Then I went on stage for some announcements and was able to upgrade some people from the grandstand to the track. Check out pics of the concert below.
