Country Radio Seminar 2013: Celebrities, Surprises and Stars of Tomorrow
Country Radio Seminar wrapped up last week to record attendance, bright new stars, and performances by the biggest names in country music. The three-day event overtook the Nashville Convention Center as thousands poured in for the annual meeting.
As a media outlet, we have the opportunity to cover the event, and interview some of the brightest up-and-coming stars in the format. We’ll be posting those interviews in the upcoming days; and we’ve also got photo and video coverage of the events, so stay tuned!
So here’s a recap of what our week looked like:
Warner Music Nashville/Word Entertainment Christmas Memories
Blake Shelton
Christmas at the Shelton/Lambert Household:
Christmas in the Shelton/Lambert household is probably like a lot of y’all’s Christmases out there. It’s chaos and we don’t have any kids, so we’re the ones that travel to everyone else’s houses. So we start down in Lindale, TX on Christmas Eve with Miranda’s family, and we always wake up there on Christmas morning and open presents – that’s where Santa comes – then we put everything in the car and drive all the way back to Oklahoma. Then we have Christmas day with my family. Normally on either side of that Miranda and I will try to have our Christmas just she and I together. It’s normally a wrapping night where we wrap everybody’s presents… or actually I stand there and mix her drinks and watch her wrap everybody’s presents, cuz I can’t warp worth crap. But I like it; I like how we do our thing and I think she does too.
Special Christmas Drink:
I don’t think I really have a special Christmas drink. I mean we always – all of us, Miranda’s family, my family – we always have a few drinks during Christmas. While we were making the album, though, I was actually drinking a little bit of wine, believe it or not, just to kinda kick back and try to get in that laid back state of mind that you’d picture Dean Martin or one of those guys doing when they get in the studio.
Favorite Christmas Memory:
My favorite Christmas memory probably just happened last year. You always have all the different things that happen, whether it’s a gift or whatever, but the last Christmas I spent with my dad was actually in a hospital room. Everybody had all their Christmases going on and for whatever reason everybody had been in the hospital room with my dad all day; then people went on to go do their Christmases at their homes and I decided, ‘I’m just gonna stay here with my dad.’ And me and my dad sat in that hospital room together and laughed all night. We watched a marathon of Dumbest Stuff on Wheels together on Christmas Eve and man, I wouldn’t trade that time with him for anything. That’s something I’ll never forget.

Big Kenny Inducted Into Tennessee State Museum As Style Trendsetter
Virginia native Big Kenny Alphin, a successful songwriter, artist and rock n’ roll farm boy is one half of the dynamic, award-winning country duo, Big & Rich. Just as Big Kenny exploded on the music scene with the hit song, “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy,” his rock- regal-pirate-cowboy image blended through all music genres and this naturally made him a style icon. The 6’4″, fun- loving, talented philanthropist is known for his head turning top hats, renewing the trend with farm boy rock n’ class. Widely known as the “Universal Ambassador of Love,” Big Kenny’s style mantra is: Rule # 1, have fun! Always wear confidence & humility first. It’s not the height of fashion… but the stature of a man one is measured by.
