Brad Paisley Changes Tour Name

Posted on by

Brad Paisley’s 2012 Tour Name Gets A New Look. Brad Paisley announced last Fall that his 2012 world tour would bear the name The Camobunga! 2012 World Tour. After getting together with his band and doing a few rehearsals though, he has decided that he needed a different title for the designs he had sketched and the experience he wants his fans to have. “When I saw the visuals and how exciting and sometimes mind-blowing they were I just felt the tour name needed to reflect what the fans were going to see. For two hours each night of the tour they can be taken away from reality – literally.” -Brad Paisley So, the new tour title is now the Brad Paisley Virtual Reality World Tour 2012. It’s definitely a change from the original title, and after hearing his comments, I am super curious. Paisley is know for putting on amazing concerts, and I have no doubt this will be a great one. All other aspects of the tour remain the same. No dates have been changed, and it is still sponsored by Chevy. Also, The Band Perry and Scotty McCreery are still joining Paisley. See below to find tour dates near you and links to ticket info!

Neal McCoy New Album Release Date

Posted on by

Neal McCoy Sets Release Date For Upcoming Album! Last year, Neal McCoy totally faked us out. He released a YouTube video hinting at the release of new material. Now, the fake out was that Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert did the talking, and we all thought that THEY were releasing an album together. To our dismay Blake and Miranda were not talking about their own project, but to our delight they were talking about new music in the works from Neal McCoy! This album, titled XII, is scheduled to release on March 6th, 2012. It is co-produced by Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton (there’s the fake-out!), and guitarist Brent Rowan. His current single, “A-OK” released last year.

Loretta Lynn Cancels Shows

Loretta Lynn Cancels First Shows of 2012. Loretta Lynn has canceled the first shows scheduled for 2012. This includes stops in Ashland, KY on Saturday, January 7th and Durham, NC on January 8th. The shows have not had firm dates reset, but should be rescheduled eventually. This is not the first time Loretta has had to cancel shows. She recently had to do so because she was suffering from a bout of pneumonia. Here’s hoping Loretta is just fine, and will be able to return to her scheduled performance dates!

Sara Evans Releases Her Third Novel, “Love Lifted Me”. Sara Evans released her third novel, “Love Lifted Me“, on Tuesday, January 3rd. This is the third and final installment of her trilogy of books including “Softly and Tenderly” and “The Sweet By and By” which she began releasing in 2010.

Taylor Swift Stars In Les Miserables

Posted on by

Taylor Swift Offered Role In Film Adaption of Classic Les Miserables Taylor Swift has been offered the role Eponine in an upcoming film adaption of the classic Les Miserables for which she recently auditioned. Word on the street is that Swift was up against Hollywood talents like Lea Michele, Evan Rachel Wood and Scarlett Johansson. While there hasn’t been word yet on whether or not she will expect the offer, it seems likely. Universal is set to start production in March with an end goal of a December 2012 release. Taylor has grounded her career in country music (remember, she won CMA Entertainer of the Year just a few weeks ago…), and accumulated a massive fan base and wide appeal beyond the country genre collaborating with pop stars and rappers. So, it seems, despite an onslaught of industry awards, she has been reaching beyond the country music world for some time now. Reportedly, she is working on another album, but with an offer like this, I can’t help but wonder if Swift is jumping ship and making a change in her career path. What do you think? Is Taylor Swift leaving country music behind or just making room for more avenues of success?

BamaJam 2012 Dates Announced

Posted on by

BamaJam Returns for 2012! BamaJam is back after missing the 2011 festival circuit, and the 2012 dates have been set! This year BamaJam will be from June 14th to June 16th outside Enterprise, AL in rural Coffee County. So far these are the only details available for this year, but with previous headliners including the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift, Hank Williams Jr., Kid Rock and others, we can be sure the line-up will be a good. This will be the fourth BamaJam to take place since its beginning in 2008. It was canceled last year due to federal charges leveled at festival founder, Ronnie Gilley for bribing legislators. He is no longer a leader in the organization of the festival, but remains on staff with a company working with the festival’s entertainment venue, BamaJam Farms where the music event will be held. Stay tuned for more details on 2012 BamaJam!
