With four Grammy nominations to their credit, the band has brought the sound of Louisiana all around the world from Saudi Arabia, to England to Slovenia. Priced at $20; $5 for ages 5 and under, tickets are slated to go on sale at 4pm today (June 19).
Now that’s what we call a prompt turn-around… Featuring such headliners as Willie Nelson, Trace Adkins and Lady Antebellum, the inaugural three-day Taste of Country Music Festival wrapped up last Saturday (June 15) at Hunter Mountain in Hunter.

Brad Paisley – who played at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center earlier this month – will play the Taste of Country Music Festival, which is scheduled for June 13-15, 2014.
