Coming Soon To Chicago: A Little More Country!

Less than a month ago I was just a simple Minnesota girl that loved listening to country music while sitting on the tailgate of Ryan's truck, sitting at the local bars with my friends, sitting around a bonfire or just hanging out at friends houses. In a blink of an eye I find myself putting my two weeks in at work, packing up all my things, saying goodbye to family/friends and moving to Chicago to be with my amazing boyfriend. When you think of Chicago your first thought isn't exactly going to be country music but I am hoping I am able to change that just a little bit! I haven't figured out how I am going to accomplish this yet but I will have a lot of time on my hands so Chicago better watch out! :) My heart will always be in Minnesota so don't worry I will still post a ton of good information about Minnesota country concerts! I know there will be many times when I miss my friends and family but I know if I turn on some great country songs it will make me feel a lot better and a lot closer to them. To my family, friends and co-workers, I love you all! "I will count the days and the miles back home to you..."

Kellie Pickler in Concert!

Kellie Pickler will be playing at the Jackpot Junction Casino in Minnesota on July 9, 2010! Kellie Pickler got her start on American Idol just like many other country stars including Carrie Underwood, Josh Gracin and Bucky Covington. I have always like Kellie Pickler as a country artist and as a person. She had a very rough life growing up with both parents being in and out of jail and having to be raised by her grandparents. Even after growing up in that environment she seems like such a fun, happy and light-hearted person who likes to have a good time no matter what she is doing. Kellie Pickler's first single was "Red High Heels" which reached #15 on the country charts. Kellie Pickler continues to release amazing singles like "I Wonder," "Things That Never Cross A Man's Mind," "Don't You Know You're Beautiful," "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" and my Personal favorite "Best Days Of Your Life." Kellie Pickler has opened for huge country artist including Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift but is now headlining her own tour. Kellie Pickler tickets are still available and I think this would be a very fun show to go see!!!

Taylor Swift Xcel Energy Center Tickets for May 7, 2010

I need some help from the country fans out there. I really really want to get Taylor Swift tickets for May 7 when she comes to the Xcel Energy Center. I can't find anywhere when the Taylor Swift tickets go on-sale for this concert. I was wondering if anyone knows when the tickets go on-sale. Please leave me a comment and let me know. I missed the last Taylor Swift concert when she performed at the Target Center because the concert sold-out in just a few minutes and I don't want to miss it again. Thank you for any new information :)...... thank you for all the help! I did find some Taylor Swift tickets and I am very excited about it. There are still some Taylor Swift tickets available!
