Did you miss Luke Bryan this past weekend? Don't be disappointed. All summer L.L. Bean has been hosting a FREE concert series in Discovery Park at their hub in Freeport. This Saturday make sure you don't miss Frankie Ballard...

Now I know why Luke Bryan is CMA Entertainer of the Year!  He is, by far, one of the BEST performers.  His concert was truly amazing.  I was with my daughter, Emma, and husband.  It was Emma's wish to see Luke.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone.  But, I'm glad we did.  We were front and center for the best concert I've ever seen.

Clearly I missed the memo stating 'No Bags unless they are clear' that was sent out about the Luke Bryan concert.  So, while we were waiting in line...with my big purse...I was in a panic trying to figure out how to carry all my stuff.  Where the heck can one get a 'clear bag'.  My incredibly crafty hubs came up with the perfect solution...

Our Boots N Bulls rodeo is just around the corner, coming to you from the Topsham Fairgrounds Sept. 17th! However, we've been in search of a singer to perform the National Anthem! The winner not only gets to perform, but gets 2 FREE tickets to the show and rodeo...

Taylor Road, a new band, featuring Lenny Goodine and Joel Jolicoeur from the former Emerald Sky visited McCoy & Dyer on the Morning Buzz.  They will be the opening act for, country legend, Joe Diffie at the Boots N Bulls Rodeo coming up on September 17th.  While in studio, they performed one of their original songs.

Now this is what I call funny and so so very true.  Comedian, Bo Burnham, explains the difference between 'country music' (Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers) and 'hic hop type country music' (Keith Urban, Luke Bryan).  He's actually, dead on accurate.

Police have arrested one of the men allegedly responsible for making threats that led to the cancellation the Band Perry’s show in Delaware on Sunday night (July 3).

We're looking for someone to sing the National Anthem before the Boots N Bulls rodeo at the Topsham Fairgrounds on Sept. 17, do you have what it takes?
