Eric Church heads into the 2012 CMA Awards with five nominations, including Male Vocalist of the Year. While he's excited -- and would be appreciative of any honor he can take back to his band -- the 'Creepin'' singer tells Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson awards are not what drives him. In fact, he finds the fast turn-around from one year ago a little bizarre.
Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson and Producer Todd arrived at the Texas State Fair excited to see two things: Big Tex and Kellie Pickler. Unfortunately, they received some terrible news from two fairgoers upon arriving.
Add Dustin Lynch to the list of country stars finding their way into the Taste of Country Nights studio. The 'Cowboys and Angels' singer stopped by recently to play his hit song 'Cowboys and Angels' for listeners nationwide. The tender acoustic version of the song makes one of the more well-loved singles of the year a little more memorable.
Jason Aldean says the hardest part of being one of the hottest artists in country music is adjusting to the glare of the spotlight. He tweets, but lately it's just been to talk about his new album, 'Night Train,' or to cheer on his Atlanta Braves. He'll mention his daughters or his wife, but you won't find pictures of them on Instagram. You may see the 'Take a Little Ride' singer on television, but only if he's behind a guitar on a talk show, or at the podium accepting an ACM or CMA Award. When it comes to being famous, Aldean tells Taste of Country Nights radio host Jeremy Robinson: He's not a natural.
Siri, everyone's favorite iPhone concierge, seems to have somewhat of a crush on Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson. Just listen to what she called him when he asked her to download the new Taylor Swift song from iTunes!
Eli Young Band have officially begun shooting the music video for 'Say Goodnight,' the third single from the band's 'Life at Best' album -- and as drummer Chris Thompson reveals, the result will be unlike anything ever before seen on country music video channels.
If the Showdown is any indicator of a hit in the making (and it usually is), then Little Big Town's 'Tornado' is well on its way to becoming another big song for the country quartet. After knocking off Uncle Kracker on Monday and Monday night on Taste of Country Nights radio, the single goes for its fourth straight win against a trio of country newcomers.
'If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away' is an extremely personal song for Justin Moore, as it mentions a deceased grandfather he was very close to. The song 'Grandpa' from his self-titled debut album was about the same man. Taste of Country Nights host Jeremy Robinson can relate to what Moore went through with his grandpa's death, and he shares his own story with listeners.
Easton Corbin visited the Taste of Country Nights radio studio recently to talk about his new album 'All Over the Road,' his hit song 'Lovin' You Is Fun' and his least favorite house chore. OK, the Florida-born singer wasn't planning on talking about his domestic duties, but one never knows what to expect when they agree to play "60 Seconds With..."
Brantley Gilbert doesn't quite have a full sleeve of ink on his left arm, but when his new tattoo is finished, he'll be close. The singer joined host Jeremy Robinson on the syndicated radio show Taste of Country Nights this week to talk about his new body art, and it was there that he revealed that the ink will be finished by artists on the TLC series 'NY Ink.' You can watch a video of the 'Kick It in the Sticks' singer talking about all his tattoos below.
Little Big Town are absolute originals. The country foursome and 'Pontoon' hitmakers have stood the test of time -- as well as numerous personal lows and highs. As the genre pendulums between pop and traditional trends, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook have never compromised their unique harmonies or blunted their sharp, descriptive lyrics. They've stayed true to a scenic winding road built just for them, even if at times it took them out of public eye for a bit.
Despite being outnumbered 3-to-1, Craig Campbell had no trouble knocking off Gloriana during yesterday’s Showdown. His new song ‘Outta My Head’ is proving to be a hit with fans. He’s called upon them to support the first single from his upcoming album and they’ve responded in large numbers. That means more airplay for Campbell tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio as he takes on a new challenger.
