| Blake Shelton Set To Host AND Perform On ‘SNL’ Posted: 08 Jan 2015 01:05 PM PST Blake Shelton is no stranger to being center stage or center of attention for that matter! On January 24th he will be taking a different type of stage where few country stars have stood before. The Voice coach will host Saturday Night Live AND serve as the night's musical guest. Fresh off the heels of his 4th victory on The Voice, Shelton and his teammate and fellow up and coming country star, Craig Wayne Boyd, took home the victory in show’s seventh season. Season 8 of The Voice is scheduled to air February 23rd. His summer 'Ten Times Crazier Tour' was sold out all over the United States. In October he released his 'Bringing Back the Sunshine' album and topped the Billboard 200 chart in all genres. A week after topping the Billboard 200 Chart, he quickly became the first country artist to top Billboard’s Artist 100 chart. Following with an even more successful November, he won his 5th consecutive CMA Male Vocalist award as well as scoring a record-breaking 13th #1 one single with “Neon Light.” There have been less than 40 singers in the show's 40 year history who have had the honor of the double duty on SNL. Past country star hosts and performers include Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and now Blake Shelton. And I'm guaranteeing we will be receiving an hour and a half of pure entertainment from the funny man himself who will no doubt dominate the SNL stage like never before. Will his country superstar wife Miranda Lambert make a guest appearance on the show? I'm going to guess it's not likely as she is playing Charleston, West Virginia the same night…but I doubt she'll miss the after party! |

| Alison Krauss and Conor Oberst Added To The Life & Songs of Emmylou Harris’ Line-Up Posted: 07 Jan 2015 11:10 PM PST The Life & Songs of Emmylou Harris: An All-Star Concert Celebration honoring Emmylou Harris will take place Saturday, January 10th in Washington, D.C. Several impressive performers have already been announced and the list just keeps on growing. Alison Krauss and Conor Oberfest are among the latest performers announced to join the prestigious line up. The concert taping is guaranteed to be a once-in-a-lifetime event honoring one of the most influential musicians of our time. The concert will take place at the DAR Constitution Hall. “Having Alison Krauss and Conor Oberst on this show takes it to an entirely new level,” said Keith Wortman, Executive Producer of the show. “It is a testament to how special Emmylou Harris and her music is to everyone.” In addition to the newest performers announced, the concert features a line-up some of music's top starts including the one and only Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Joan Baez, Sheryl Crow, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mavis Staples, Martina McBride, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, Vince Gill, Chris Hillman, Trampled By Turtles, Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, Rodney Crowell, Iron & Wine, Shawn Colvin, Shovels & Rope, Sara Watkins and The Milk Carton Kids just to name a few. All those who will be part of this remarkable evening are meaningful as they each have a great deal shared history with Emmyl0u. “Emmylou Harris is a once-in-a-lifetime music artist,” adds Wortman. “With the addition of Vince Gill, Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen and Daniel Lanois, whom all mean so much to her, we have joined together to create a once-in-a-lifetime concert event in her honor." Harris is known as much for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her outstandingly expressive singing. She has been admired through her career for her talent as an artist and song aficionado. Taking country radio by storm in the 1970's, she also established herself as the first songwriter of her generation by selling over 15 million records, gathering 13 Grammy Awards, three CMA Awards, and two Americana Awards. With forty years of a fulfilling career behind her, Harris continues to share the hard-earned wisdom that hopefully with age and time, all the while she has never stopped looking ahead. Tickets are still available at ticketmaster.com, or at Ticketmaster locations or by phone at 800-745-3000. The DAR Constitution Hall Box Office will only be open on the day of the show for will-call pickup and sales.
