Brad Paisley Sells Out Wrigley Field

Brad Paisley Sells Out The Historic Wrigley Field In Chicago! This past Saturday, June 9, Brad Paisley took his Virtual Reality Tour to the historic Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL. He played to a sold-out crowd of 38,000 fans inside the Cubs’ stadium. Surrounding the stadium on streets and roof tops were numerous fans, enjoying the atmosphere and trying to hear or see a glimpse of the performances. Special guests Miranda Lambert, Chris Young, The Band Perry and Jerrod Niemann also performed. This was only the 2nd time the field has been the site for a live country concert!

BamaJam 2012 Must See List

BamaJam 2012: The Acts You Don’t Want To Miss! BamaJam 2012 is just hours away, and HaleighT and I are hittin’ the highway to get there! The event organizers have pulled together 3 days of great music and fun activities, and we couldn’t be more excited. One of the good things about festivals like this is that there is a really good mix of artists. There will be some big name headliners, but there will also be some new up and comers that haven’t hit it big maybe but still have the talent. So, for our readers, I’m going to break this out, and give you the list of my “must-see” performances for this year’s festival! These are the people that push come to shove, I won’t be missing…no matter what. MissMolly’s “Must-See” List for BamaJam 2012! Headliners: 1. Willie Nelson You just can’t get more iconic than Willie. 2. Eric Church Church is just straight up bad ass. His performance will be beyond awesome. End of story. 3. Zac Brown Band There isn’t a single song these guys have put out, that I don’t love. It doesn’t matter what mood I’m in or what’s going on, but I am always a little bit happier after listening to ZBB. So, I simply can’t wait to see what these guys bring to the stage…live! Up and Coming: 1. Conner Christian and Southern Gothic I hadn’t heard of this group until I check out the complete line-up, and I’m glad that they’ve landed on my radar. They definitely aren’t traditional country, but have an Americana, kind of southern rock vibe. Their sound is gritty and I think has the potential to be great live and festival perfect! 2. Sonia Leigh Leigh has been around for more than a few years now, and her career is really starting to pick up traction! She is a singer/songwriter with a sound that’s got country at its core and a rock vibe mixed in. She has all the makings of a great live performer and I have high hopes for her set. 3. Casey James We’ve had our eye on this talented young man since his days on American Idol, and I’m ready to see if he is as good in live and in person as he is live and on tv! Based on the music he has released so, I’m pretty confident it will be a good show! Be sure to check out the complete line-up and figure out who makes it on your “must-see” list.

Jason Aldean Gets Ticketed

Twitter Users Get Fired Up After Jason Aldean Comments On Getting A Ticket. Yesterday while enjoying a nice day on the beach, Jason Aldean received a ticket for being in the water when flags were up. He tweeted about this happening and was apparently bombarded with tweets condeming his words. Here is what Aldean tweeted… “Dear officer who gave me a ticket on the beach today for swimming in the water with double red flags…Thanx for the warning Barney Fife!” “I know he was doin his job, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t drown in knee deep water. Gimme a break!” “Chill people…I’m not b***hin’, I’m just sayin…When there is 100 people in the water and u pick 2 of them to give a ticket to …WTH?” “I respect all law enforcement & I am thankful for what they do for us, but me & that 12 yr old who got the other $100 tix. are a lil’ bitter.” “I love it when y’all get fired up on here! Woooooo!” “Y’all gettin’ way too worked up over this… I was just having fun & joking then everybody started goin’ crazy. Simmer down peeps it’s all good.” Aldean also tweeted a picture with the the beach full of others in the water as well with the caption “I would like to present exhibit A! Case closed!” exibit Well…In my personal opinion…I’m with Jason! I know for a fact my family would have reacted the same exact way in this situation. Let’s be real…I bet 85% of people would have too. What do you think? Was the “Fly Over States” singer in the wrong? Or did twitter users take an innocent joke and turn it into something else? Let us know!
