About Hank Williams Jr.
With more than 70 albums to his credit, Williams has a fascinating career to reflect upon for a legend still in his prime.  His discography chronicles a bold profile of growth from adored offspring of a legendary father, to titan of the modern country rock movement in his own right.  For two decades, America has come to its collective feet each fall Monday night when this larger than life superman of a musician looks into the camera and unleashes the national anthem for viewers of Monday Night Football - ‘Are you ready for some football?'  Those simple words have won Williams an entirely new generation of fans and given him the distinction of being the first country performer to ever win an Emmy.  Williams has also been named Entertainer of the Year five-times, but most recently was the recipient of the 2009 Academy of Country Music “Pioneer Award”.
 
About Jamey Johnson
Jamey Johnson is known within the music industry for his penmanship, having written songs that have been recorded by Trace Adkins, George Jones, Joe Nichols, and is the co-writer of the CMA and ACM 2007 Song of the Year “Give It Away,” recorded by George Strait.  But instead of sitting at home counting his royalty checks, Jamey Johnson recorded more than 40 songs during the past year and has become one of the most recognized new names on the Country music scene.  Johnson was nominated for five Academy of Country Music awards in 2009, taking home the ACM Song of the Year honor for his self-penned single “In Color”.  His current album “That Lonesome Song” was recently certified GOLD.
 
About Eric Church
Capitol Nashville recording artist, Eric Church recently released his widely praised sophomore effort Carolina. The album debuted at #4 on the country charts and yielded the Top 10 single “Love Your Love the Most” and the current single,“Hell on the Heart,” which is Top 25 and climbing. Rolling Stone praised the album’s “surging guitars bolstering good-ol’-boy narratives,” and The New York Times declared, “His music puts rock muscle behind honky-tonk and turns ballads into intimate close-ups.” Carolina follows the breakthrough success of Church’s critically acclaimed first effort Sinners Like Me, which claimed three Top 20 singles and a #1 video. The album earned Church widespread praise from Associated Press, Rolling Stone, People Magazine and The New York Times.
 
About The Grascals
Already among the most beloved and acclaimed of contemporary crossover groups, The Grascals spent two years on the road working with Dolly Parton as both her opening act and her backing band.  They are 2-time IBMA Entertainers of the Year, Emerging Artist of the Year and Song of the Year winners. Their trademark blend of traditional bluegrass and classic country with more modern elements, delivered with vocal and instrumental intensity and virtuosity, also earned them two Grammy nominations for their first two critically-acclaimed albums.

No core country artist has crossed over more titles to AC. Rogers has scored eight AC No. 1s. Rogers: "I remember when [the AC charts] were established, I thought it was so cool. I've always been a believer in the strength of the song. My problem is I'm a country singer who's had a lot of other musical influences, so my stuff is going to tend to be more AC. That's always been my slam in country music, that I was never a true country artist, even though &q

They call her..The Bare Naked Bandit..29 yr Old Lee Grace Doherty

ARRESTED now in Colorado...but what a story and week for 2 brothers and their stripper sister! Text messages and tweets by three fugitive siblings who shot at a police officer and robbed a bank reveal a dangerous mindset and a firm bond between the siblings, "We've certainly seen their mindset when... They shot at a law enforcement officer outside of Tampa Bay, Fla., and when they fired inside that bank in Valdosta, Ga. But these additional texts and tweets have given us additional insight," FBI Special Agent Stephen Emmett told "Good Morning America" today. " We are concerned and feel that they are going to continue and cause problems to say the least for law enforcement." Ryan Dougherty, 21; his sister Lee Grace E. Dougherty, 29; and half-brother Dylan Dougherty Stanley, 26, have been on the lam since Aug. 2 when they shot at a police officer attempting to pull their white Subaru Impreza over for speeding.
