Gary Allan

I'm sure you heard the controversial statements made by Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band the other day. He had some harsh words for a big country hit right now, and for a few other trends going on in the charts. During an interview with a radio station, the topic turned to some of the current country hit songs, Luke Bryan's "My Kind of Night" in particular.

Gary Allan is known for putting on some of the best live shows in the business, and on Saturday night at the Missouri State Fair Pepsi grandstand (Aug. 10), he did not disappoint.

Today (Aug. 10) is day three of the 2013 Missouri State Fair , and it's Pepsi Day, where you can get a coupon on specially marked Pepsi cans good for $1 off adult admission.

I was lucky enough to have the chance to talk this week with one of my favorite country artists, Gary Allan. Over his 17 year career, Gary has achieved multi-platinum status, producing 26 singles on the Billboard Country Charts (including four number ones), and wowing countless audiences. He'll be putting on a show at the Missouri State Fair Pepsi Grandstand, Saturday Aug. 10.

Gary Allan is on the mend after quietly undergoing knee surgery on Monday (July 22). The 'Pieces' singer had the procedure to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

This just in: Gary Allan and Sheryl Crow are teaming up to co-headline the 2013 Free and Easy Tour this fall!
