Parmalee

The men of Parmalee are stoked to be out on the road with country superstar Brad Paisley, something they couldn't keep quiet about when chatting with Sam Alex -- host of Taste of Country Nights -- recently.

Mashing up two songs is hard enough, but six? One YouTuber was up to the challenge.

Some of country's top stars and up-and-comers took time out from their busy schedules this Halloween to celebrate with some cool, creative costumes and even share some pictures with fans via social media.

Parmalee's 'Close Your Eyes' video features all the best parts of summer, from bikinis to sSolo cups and slip 'n slides, to glow paint. And of course, the summery clip ends with one big kiss.

Following up a No. 1 single is a challenge for any new artist, but Parmalee feel pretty confident about their chances with 'Close Your Eyes.' The track from the group's new 'Feels Like Carolina' album was a no-brainer. In this video premiering exclusively on Taste of Country, singer Matt Thomas says he fell for it the moment he heard it.

Eight new artists are competing for New Artist of the Year honors at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Three came from reality television, one came from scripted television, three made it the old-fashioned way and one came from out of nowhere to become one of the hottest concert tickets in country music. Who do you think should win the New Artist of the Year award?

Parmalee know firsthand that being seen as commercially viable is as important as talent in the music business. What good is talent, after all, if no one knows what to do with it?

Parmalee do what they do best on more than half the songs on 'Feel Like Carolina.' This group of reformed rockers compel you to buy a ticket to their live show with songs like 'I'll Bring the Music,' Dance' and especially 'Move.'

Parmalee's debut country album 'Feels Like Carolina' will hit stores on Dec. 10, and the North Carolina-raised foursome are enjoying the success of their Top 10 hit 'Carolina.'

With songs like 'Musta Had a Good Time,' 'Day Drinking' and 'Staring Down the Barrel of a Shot Glass,' one gets the impression that the Parmalee guys like to lead the party. Matt Thomas and Josh McSwain opened up about their wild ways during a video interview before their set at the Taste of Country Music Festival on Thursday (June 13).
