After watching the American Country Award show on Fox last December, I was hoping they would make it an annual event and it looks like that's the plan. Trace Adkins and Kristin Chenoweth will co-host the show this year which will be broadcast live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. If you didn't get to see the show last year, it featured quite a few performances from the the top country stars and a few different awards like best concert tour. It's not a typical stuffy, formal award show. It seemed to be a little more laid back and fun. We should be getting more info on performers and nominees in the next month or so. We'll keep you posted!! Look for the 2011 ACA's December 5th on Fox.
Keith Urban is set to launch a new fragrance line called "Phoenix". When asked to describe his signature cologne, Keith said "it's not too strong, but not too soft". When I first read that I laughed because it's so vague, and then I tried to think of what I would say if someone asked me to describe what my favorite cologne smelled like......can't do it. We'll have to trust Keith on this one. He said he likes the name Phoenix because of his interest in mythology and symbolism. He said he was adamant on NOT naming it after himself because when a guy is asked "what cologne are you wearing?" he thought it may be awkward for a guy to say "I'm wearing Keith Urban". I agree. Keith is taking pre-orders at his website right now: http://www.keithurban.net/
Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum got engaged about a month ago in a recent interview she revealed a few details about her wedding plans. She said "NO" to being photographed in her wedding dress before her wedding day, and she said "NO WAY" to the money dance at her reception. She did say that she will keep a few wedding reception traditions alive with the bouquet toss and having her future husband remove her garter. Haven't heard if they have revealed a wedding date or location. Hillary is engaged to Chris Tyrell, who is the drummer for Eden's Edge, and they are out on the road opening up for Brad Paisley on his H2O summer tour. In the mean time, Lady Antebellum is out touring and promoting their upcoming CD "Own The Night" which is due out on September 13th.Wanted to send out a quick congratulations to Marty's new morning show partner Lindsey Marie! Thanks to all of the 200+ who took time to try out during the Hometown Team Tryouts. Lindsey is a local girl with a ton of personality. She will join Marty on a full time basis later on this month on your NEW Hometown Mornin' Show on Your Country 102.7 WXBM!
