Music

Jazz music was a big part of my life growing up, thanks to my Dad. While my own tastes have changed over the years to include rock, blues and jazz fusion, I still love the traditional sound of a great jazz band. Live jazz is what it's all about this Thursday (April 23) with the Victoria Symphony's Downtown Rhythms.

Miranda Lambert has racked up her fair share of ACM Awards in her career — the 31-year-old singer has 18 ACM trophies to her name! She's also maintained a record five-year-in-a-row streak for Female Vocalist of the Year.

Reba McEntire released "Pray for Peace" on Facebook long before any hint of her new album Love Somebody. The inspirational song dropped last July, but until now fans weren't able to see all that went into the recording.

There are some things you just have to accept in life: the Kardashians aren't going anywhere, teenage girls will never get enough of Taylor Swift and Frozen covers will always win over people.

This summer, three country legends will take the stage at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Reba McEntire is set to join Brooks & Dunn for a Sin City residency, and they want to see you there for one of the first shows. Enter here for your chance to win a flyaway to witness the trio together onstage.

Six weeks before Reba McEntire released Love Somebody, the singer and her management team invited two dozen media members to hear some of the songs from her first studio album in nearly five years. McEntire and Big Machine Label Group CEO Scott Borchetta started by telling the story of how the Nash Icon record label partnership was — more or less — created for her.

We echo Billy Ray Cyrus when we say that this is the best thing ever. The '90s hitmaker's most famous work of art, "Achy Breaky Heart," has always been a line-dancing favorite, but it's usually humans doing the foot-stompin'. Not at a recent rodeo, however.

When Rascal Flatts first met, things didn't go all that well. Sure, Jay DeMarcus and Gary LeVox are cousins, so they were cool. But LeVox wasn't very kind to Joe Don Rooney. Then, something happened that set them on a course for superstardom. Do you know what it was?

Tim McGraw has announced a concert benefitting Sandy Hook Promise, set for this summer in in Hartford, Connecticut.

Singer-songwriter Brent Cobb is sick and tired of bro-country dominating country radio, and he's not afraid to say it loud and clear.

The runup to the 2015 ACM Awards will feature a plethora of musical acts, including special duets in which country legends will team up with modern acts for unforgettable performances.

The "Crossroads Country Opry" is tonight at the Jaycee Hall, 2905 E. North Street in Victoria, featuring Elaine Garcia, Ed Gary, Logan Gisler, and Ann Boyd along with the CCO Band: Randy Boyd, Henry Hosek, David Waters, Dana Smith, Randall Edwards, and John L Sullivan!
