Country Artists

Nine years ago, I came back to Norwich (wait, what? Nine Years?) to take over the Big Kat Country morning show, and since that time, I have been firm in my belief that Sara Evans is the sexiest woman in country music. Even though a few listeners have taken exception to that opinion,(Jake the mailman says Faith Hill), I stand by Sara...

We heard from Cassidy recently and she had some big news to share. A song she wrote called "Ball Cap" has been recorded by Black River Entertainment recording artist Glen Templeton. That's the same label that Craig Morgan and Kellie Pickler are with. ...

Got a call from Bruce Beadle, Jr. this morning and he told me about some great news the Beadle Brothers Band received this week.  It seems that the magazine New Music Weekly has nominated them in the category of Group of The Year. As if that wasn't great news in and of itself here are  three bands they are up against for the award...

Kaitlyn Jackson joined us by telephone Tuesday morning less than a week after her appearance on the season debut of American Idol. She told us that the actual day of the audition was a long one, nerve wracking for her to be sure, but maybe more so for mom and dad who nervously awaited the judges decision in the hotel hall way...

Matt and Bruce Beadle joined us in Norwich in the Big Kat studios Tuesday to bring us up-to-date on what's happening for the band.  As they told us previously, they are playing every first and third Saturday night at Turning Stone Casino's country bar, The Tin Rooster, throughout 2014...

So the family from the crazy popular "Duck Dynasty" continue to show that everything they touch turns to gold. Their latest success is a Christmas album titled " Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas," and it is flying off store shelves. ...

We were busy Friday morning as Elizabeth Monaco, Executive Director of the Chenango United Way and Matt and Bruce Beadle all paid us a visit. Elizabeth wanted to tell us about the Day of Caring which is Saturday and marks the official start of the 2013 campaign...

One of the most recognizable voices of the 60's and 70's has been silenced.  It was sad to read that Linda Ronstadt recently revealed in an interview with AARP that she has Parkinson's disease and can not sing anymore. I was 12 years old when I first played "Different Drum" on my little portable phonograph and proceeded to wear out that '45 over the course of the next year...

Harpursville native Shawn Hawkins joined us in the Big Kat studio with his band mates from "Ben Whisler" Friday and they treated listeners to some great tunes. Shawn, lead vocalist and guitarist Ben Whisler, and fiddle player Tim Hayes set up in the studio and showed why they are quickly gaining an audience up and down the east coast...
