2012 Country Throwdown Tour to Feature Gary Allan, Rodney Atkins, Justin Moore, Josh Thompson, Eric Paslay, Sunny Sweeny and More

Posted by Country Girl on February 10th, 2012

Country Throwdown Tour

The third-annual Country Throwdown Tour will feature an impressive lineup that will deliver energy-packed, exhilarating performances to eager country fans in 20 cities.

Joining headliner Gary Allan, recording artists Josh Thompson, Eric Paslay, and Sunny Sweeney round out the high-profile lineup for the nationwide country music tour that will kick off in Gulfport, Mississippi on May 18 and run through July 8. Special guests on many tour stops, Rodney Atkins (June 1-30) and Justin Moore (May 18-27) will join the roster of superstars and newcomers for the ultimate country music experience.

“I’ve always been a fan of the Warped Tour, so I thought it was great when they came up with the concept of doing a country version of it with the Throwdown Tour. I’m excited to be a part of it this year, and I look forward to working with Kevin, Sarah and everyone involved with the tour,” says Allan. “My band and crew can’t wait to take this experience to our fans and we look forward to making new fans along the way. We’re hoping this is the best Throwdown Tour yet.”

“I had the privilege of playing shows with each of these incredible artists with the exception of Eric Paslay, but a few weeks ago he and I got to hang out in East Tennessee–talking and fishing,” Atkins said. “I can’t wait to be a part of this tour. Every artist brings something awesome and different to the show. It’s gonna be a blast!”

The only tour of its kind in the world of country music, Country Throwdown Tour 2012 brings together top-selling artists with talented, emerging singer-songwriters in a festival environment where fans enjoy a constant stream of music on multiple stages all day long.

In addition to the performances on two main stages, the Bluebird Cafe Stage will spotlight the talents of emerging singer-songwriters as they perform intimate “in the round” sets throughout the day along with nightly performances during main stage set changes. Artists for the much-anticipated Bluebird Cafe Stage will be announced in the coming weeks.

In addition to top-notch music, Country Throwdown 2012 offers eager fans a full concourse of lifestyle attractions and vendors at an affordable ticket price. Doors to each venue open at 3 p.m., and the entertainment continues until 11 p.m.

Tickets are ON SALE NOW in select cities. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.countrythrowdown.com.

Top Tweets of the Week – Week of January 8th

Posted by Country Girl on January 8th, 2012

Kellie Pickler

10. I guess @KelliePickler just likes to spend the new year in tropical locations! Last year she was getting married; this year fishing “Fishing in St. Lucia! :) ”

9. Country Music artists were a blaze on twitter this week about this news from @LeeBrice “She said YES! I’m one lucky man!!”

8. This tweet from @JaronATLRTL (Jaron Lowenstein) is self explanatory “Just heard a guy say “Not gonna lie, some of my cousins are pretty hot.” #nicetobebackinthesouth”

7. Sunny Sweeney (@gettinsweenered) is such an amazing songwriter because she is able to make connections that no one else can make! “The adult version of the children’s game, Operation, is trying not to break a tortilla chip while dipping it into a jar of salsa.”

6. If the world ends in 2012, @DannyGokey may have made the best financial decision of his life! “The Mayans BETTER be right, I just bought a house, car and a boat with no payments until 2013! Wish me luck…”

Brett Eldredge

5. Kellie wasn’t the only one enjoying warm weather – @BrettEldredge spent some time in the water “Im back on land! Apparently at this moment, I thought floating above a shark was a good idea, glad they werent hungry!”

4. With a busy holiday season, sometime you just have to sit back and look at the future. That’s exactly what @Miranda_Lambert did “Im back to reality now. Headed to the east coast for work then to Nashville for rehearsal for the new tour:)! Here we go 2012!”

3. Pretty sure that everyone in country music wished they were @ChrisYoungMusic in this tweet “Been hanging out/fishing with Little Jimmy Dickens all afternoon. Damn cool”

2. @BlakeShelton may have an odd sense of humor, but this tweet had me headed towards the bathroom I was laughing so hard! “As I stood here looking out my window at the Nashville skyline, a sparrow smashed head on into the glass. Ahh.. It’s gonna be a great day.”

Brad Paisley

1. The drycleaners might say they can clean anything, and @BradPaisley claims to have tested that this week! “Caught 25 largemouth.Took em here to be cleaned.They came back on hangers,in plastic,with spots removed. Some people.”

Top Tweets of the Week – New Years Edition

Posted by Country Girl on January 1st, 2012

Rascal Flatts

10. @JoeDonRooney of Rascal Flatts managed to get a shot of his clock in the celebration “Happy New Year y’all!”

9. I guess not everyone celebrates the new year with open arms. @FrankieBallard tweeted “Happy effin New thing…”

8. As a father, @JustinColeMoore just doesn’t have the energy to celebrate New Years “You know you’re gettin older when you’re fallin asleep in your recliner on new years eve at 8:04 pm”

7. 2011 was a great year for @JakeOwen – I can’t wait to see what is in store for 2012 “Happy New Year Y’all. 11,000 feet yesterday snowboarding and sea level today playing golf with my Dad and nephews. Thanks for a great year.”

6. I guess one person isn’t having a weight loss goal for 2012. Sunny Sweeney (@GettinSweenered) tweeted “I’m not fat. I’m just harder to kidnap. Happy 2012!”

Julianne Hough

5. Why go where millions of people are when you can have New York to yourself? @JulianneHough did just that “Walking back to the hotel on the empty streets of NY after watching the matinee of The Book of Mormon! #EPIC”

4. She might be touring with King George in early 2012, but who knows what @MartinaMcBride has in store for the rest of the year! “Just wanted to say thanks to all my fans, friends, and family for making 2011 such an amazing year! I am so looking forward to 2012!”

3. It’s hard to believe that @KelliePickler got married a year ago – it seems like yesterday! “A year ago today, I married my best friend.”

2. Did anybody take advantage of the AAA service last night? @LBTmusic (Little Big Town) tried to spread the news about it! “Have a great time tonight, if you need a ride call the AAA Tipsy Tow phone number at 1-800-AAA-Help. Shortly after, a tow truck will be…”

1. Any Eve’s out there, New Year’s Eve has to be awkward! @BradPaisley posted “Happy New years eve eve!Unless your name is Eve,then Happy New Years Eve Eve, Eve.Unless your name is Steve.& Happy New Years Eve Eve,Steve.”
