Featuring...

 

You never know who you'll find working together to create hit records here in town. Richard Marx has had an incredible career as a songwriter and as an artist, but he also writes with a few country artists, too. One of those collaborations with Keith Urban went especially well, as Keith took 'Long Hot Summer' to the top of the charts. We caught up with Keith and Richard to talk about the success of that hit song. Join the party here.

 

Billy Bob's is a legendary nightspot in the Stockyards of Fort Worth, and Casey Donahew is making a name for himself there, selling out his last few appearances. The Casey Donahew Band has an extremely strong fan base in the Lonestar state, but is now reaching a more national audience. We caught up with Casey backstage before yet another sold-out show at Billy Bob's to talk about his style of music. Check him out here.

 

Legendary US Route 23 winds through the Eastern corridor of Kentucky, and has seen the early days of artists such as Wynonna and Naomi Judd, Billy Ray Cyrus, Ricky Skaggs, Crystal Gale, Loretta Lynn, and many many more. Today...that 144-mile stretch of road is called the Country Music Highway, and a group is working on bringing attention to that area with a new 'Arts Education Fund' and a 'Road To Fame' talent competition. Join us here in Frankfort, Kentucky to hear all about it.
