big o music fest

It's going to be a really busy week! First things first, I'm going to have to get rid of the nasty summer cold, ha!! So, here's where I'll be this week:

In addition to having their first Top 5 hit, ‘(Kissed You) Good Night,’ which also recently went gold, country trio Gloriana is now celebrating their sophomore album’s impressive chart debut. ‘A Thousand Miles Left Behind’ came in at No. 2 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart and at No. 10 on Billboard’s all-genre Top 200 albums chart.

I just realized this.  Of all the country music artists I have interviewed over the years, Jo Dee Messina is the one I have interviewed the most.  Random?  Yes!  But it's true.  Earlier this week, Moon, Taunya the Intern and I had a chance to chat with Jo Dee about her upcoming appearance at The Big O Music Fest.  It was my third time interviewing Jo Dee and I quickly remembered how much of a blas

I'll be broadcasting LIVE Friday from 9:00am - 2:00pm from Bobby Wilson's Furniture. And guess what I'll have with me?!?! Two VIP tickets to the Big O Music Fest featuring Blake Shelton, Tracy Lawrence, JoDee Messina and more! Just stop in and sign up...

If you’ve been dying to get the details on Big O Music Fest headliner Blake Shelton‘s upcoming Christmas album, the wait is almost over.

Saturday night's finale for the Battle for the Big O is already a star-studded line-up.  That night, eight phenomenal tri-state music acts will fight for the chance to win $500 and open for Blake Shelton at the 2012 Big O Music Festival at Reid's Orchard in Owensboro.  And now, WBKR is pleased to announce a very special guest performer who will be keeping the audience entertained while our judges

To say the LoCash Cowboys are excited about coming to the Big O Music Fest is a pretty big understatement! These boys are pumped to be back in Owensboro, August 18th with Blake Shelton, Tracy Lawrence, JoDee Messina and more! Take a listen as I talk to Preston about everything from new music, Ex-Playmates gettin' dirty and how a Momma-look can stop you right in your tracks!

Y'all know I love my LoCash Cowboys and today, they'll be calling in to my Midday Show! The boys will be in town on August 18th at Reid's Orchard for the Big O Music Fest and I can't wait to hear what they've been up to this past year. Here's the deal, I thought it would be cool for y'all to ask them some questions too! Take this poll and let me know what we should drill LoCash about!

Here at WBKR, we LOVE giving away prizes.  But, we've always wondered what it must be like to be on YOUR side of the contest.  We constantly hear listeners say things like, "I never win anything" or "It's nearly impossible to get through on the phone" or "The phones ALWAYS busy!"  So, Taunya the Intern and I decided to try a little experiment recently.  We ran a conte

Over the last couple of weeks here at WBKR.com, we have introduced you to all the acts competing in the finale of our 2012 Battle for the Big O.  It's our annual competition where we search for someone to open the Big O Music Fest.  It's a great opportunity to open for huge names in country music and step on a stage in front of thousands to get your music heard!  On Saturday, August 4th, WBKR will

The 2012 Battle for the Big O finale is coming up Saturday, August 4th at Diamond Lake Campground and Resort.  Eight acts from around the tri-state will compete for $500 and the opportunity to take the stage at the 2012 Big O Music Fest and open for Blake Shelton, Tracy Lawrence, Jo Dee Messina and more!  The youngest of our eight finalists is Blake Knott from Hawesville, Kentucky.  After audition

In late June, Dakota Cummins and Eddie Goins were in Owensboro for ROMP.  During their trip they happened to stop by Towne Square Mall at the same time we were setting up for our final Battle for the Big O audition.  Eddie came over to me and asked what was going on.  He saw the stage, the sound equipment and the judges' table, so he knew something was up.  I explained to him that we were searchin
