Everyone has that someone they can’t forget.” -Campbell “Outta My Head” is a high-octane up-tempo track with a lyric that describes the struggle of lost love.

Keith Urban New American Idol Judge

Posted on by

Keith Urban Fills Third Judge Seat On American Idol. American Idol producers have been hankering to get a country music star on the show, and it looks like they are getting exactly what they want in Keith Urban ! Reports are flying all over the place suggesting that Urban is filling the third spot at the judges panel on the long running and extremely popular reality competition series. Neither an official press release or statement has been released by Urban’s reps, but The Country Vibe is siting “sources” suggesting that its a done deal and The Hollywood Reporter seems to have similar “sources” with all kinds of insider knowledge! So, I’m going to go ahead and take all this with a grain of salt, but at the end of the day, I won’t be at all surprised if Keith takes over that third seat at the start of the next season. Rumor has it that Brad Paisley was in talks with Idol producers but bowed out when they couldn’t agree on a price tag (Apparently, Paisley wanted to match Nicki Minaj’s $8 million paycheck). So far, long reigning pop diva Mariah Carey is confirmed and Minaj is finalizing her deal with the show. Either way, it looks like these new judges might just make American Idol interesting again.

Josh Abbott Band At George’s Majestic Lounge

Posted on by

The Josh Abbott Band Sets The Bar High For This Fall Semester In Fayetteville! The Josh Abbott Band made their way to Fayetteville, AR this Wednesday to perform at George’s Majestic Lounge. This was the first week back to classes for the Razorbacks and judging by the sold out crowd, they were ready to forget the books! JAB performed songs from their current album, Small Town Family Dream (read the review here), as well as some of their classics. As I said before, it was a sold out show! A great portion of the crowd missed the opening band because of the amount of people trying to get in the doors at once. George’s has one of the best, if not very best crews working from them. But with that many fans, the doormen can only get you in so fast. Luckily for the attendees, as soon as you were in, you were golden! The newly remodeled venue had a great vibe in the air and as soon as the band took the stage all focus was straight ahead! The crowd was singing along the whole night (“Taste,” “Touch,” “Oh Tonight” and more) and some boot scooters managed to get a little two-steppin’ in (with what little space was available, SOLD OUT SHOW!). If you are familiar with this band’s live show, then you know what I mean when I say it was exactly what I expected. This in no way is a bad thing…the energy was explosive and the music was right on point! As usual, the girls went crazy for Preston Wait‘s fiddle skills and melted over Josh‘s voice. All in all, the night was a success! I truly believe the band likes playing George’s and I know the Arkansas fans love having them!
