Country Music Pictures

There’s something really special happening at the CMA Awards tonight, and it hits close to home for the Southern Tier. One of our own is stepping onto one of the biggest stages in country music!

Toby Keith, the celebrated country music singer and actor, has passed away after battling stomach cancer.

All we can say is wow!

Even though it was abnormally hot on Sunday (June 14) on Hunter Mountain, fans and artists came out to party. The 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival is in its final day, but that hasn't changed the atmosphere.

There could not have been a more picturesque setting for Billy Currington's performance during the 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival. The sun was slowly setting behind the mountains as the singer kicked off the show with "I Got a Feelin'."

The 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival has officially begun, and more than a few memorable moments have (already) been captured.

We're just weeks away from the 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival, and the countdown is on! The festival kicks off on June 12 at Hunter Mountain in New York, and this year's lineup is stacked. Throwback with us as you flip through pictures of our 2015 acts ... as kids! What could be cuter, right?

This is so awesome!  Dan McGurk, young man with down syndrome and a huge Kid Rock fan, was celebrating his 30th birthday when he got the thrill of a lifetime.  Guess who showed up?!  None other than Kid Rock and some band members, giving Dan, the surprise of his life.

Smoke filled the stage and lights flashed as a silhouette of tall man wearing a cowboy hat appeared behind a screen.  The crowd went wild as country music star, Trace Adkins took the stage at Tioga Downs Casino and Racing this past Sunday night,

This past weekend, Ethan Harris, performed at the Herkimer County fairgrounds and ran into many familiar faces.  Country singer James Wesley, was one of them!
