country con

I've been to the Country Music Hall of Fame twice. Shame on me, I know, for not getting down there more often. But my most recent visit was just last summer. I will most definitely pick up the pace. And here's why:

Country Con is just a couple of weeks away and we are so pleased to announce that Sam Alex, host of the nationally syndicated show Taste of Country Nights, will be making a special appearance at the event!

I can say I was there the night Meghan Gallagher Gundpowdered and Leaded her way into the Battle for the Big O finale at Show Me's of Owensboro. I can and I want to.

Olivia Lane started performing as a small child for her parents in their Houston living room. Her mother was a singer and she saw the budding talent in her daughter, allowing her to sing in choir and in community theater. After a stint studying theater as USC in Los Angeles, Lane grew to love songwriting which brought her to Nashville. We are proud to present Olivia Lane to you and Country Con, Sa

I'm looking forward to meeting Jason Sturgeon, September 12th at Country Con. For one thing, I've never met anyone I once featured on Clash in the Country.

Last year at CMA Fest, Jaclyn and I met Robyn Patrylo. You've heard us lovingly refer to her as "The Leg". In case you need a reminder, Robyn has at least a dozen country music artists autographs tattooed on her legs! Well, guess what?!?  We're giving you the chance to meet her at Country Con!  We've worked with Robyn's promotion company, RCP Promotions, to book some amazing acts for our

Originally from Roswell, GA, Erica Bryan headed to New York City to pursue a career in musical theater where she trained with Broadway's best and toured the country and became a better singer and performer. After a few years, she decided to take a different path which took her to Nashville. Erica will be joining us Saturday, September 12th at Country Con!

I can't believe it, but Country Con is less than a month away! Over 50 live country acts performing on three stages throughout the day on September 12th at the Owensboro Convention Center and tons of country-themed vendors. Ruthie Collins is joining us for Country Con and y'all are going to love her style! Take a look at this live video of her singing "Trainwreckin"!

Country Con is coming up quick and we are pretty pumped to have the Mechanical Bull back in action.  Now earlier this year at Paddy O' Beach I had to show the WBKR air staff a thing of two when it comes to a mechanical bull.

I've discovered one of my favorite things about Country Con, and it hasn't even happened yet. After being gone 11 days on vacation, it's pretty cool to return and take a gander at the loooooong updated list of incredibly talented musicians who will be there September 12th at the Owensboro Convention Center.

Josh Merritt is a very good friend of WBKR's, so we're very excited to have his unique energy on one of the Country Con stages on Saturday, September 12th at the Owensboro Convention Center.

Are you ready for Country Con? It's just a few weeks away; Saturday, September 12th at the Owensboro Convention Center. Everything the country music fan wants and needs, including over 50 acts on three stages! We'd like you to meet Michigan's Donald Benjamin & Less Than Ordinary. Benjamin himself played at a new music showcase at this summer's CMA Music Fest. Here's their version, with a littl
