Rachel Farley dished on her boyfriend situation (sorry, guys) and why she's so over school during a messy interview at the 2013 Taste of Country Music Festival on Friday (June 15). The 'Ain't Easy' singer did her best to keep her ice cream from landing with a splat on her stage clothes as the sun had it dripping all over her hand. Moments later, she was on stage thrilling thousands of crazy countr

Day 2 of the Taste of Country Music Festival brought some sunshine and a few of the rowdiest bands in country music out to play. Beginning with newcomer Rachel Farley -- who more than held her own -- the six acts to take the stage in Hunter, N.Y. shook the valley of the venue located in the Catskills Mountains on Friday (June 14).

With songs like 'Musta Had a Good Time,' 'Day Drinking' and 'Staring Down the Barrel of a Shot Glass,' one gets the impression that the Parmalee guys like to lead the party. Matt Thomas and Josh McSwain opened up about their wild ways during a video interview before their set at the Taste of Country Music Festival on Thursday (June 13).

Heavy rain showers didn't stop country music fans who'd come from all over to see Willie Nelson on Thursday night. Thousands packed Hunter Mountain in New York for the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival. Ponchos, umbrellas, cold beverages and great country music kept fans in good spirits while the LoCash Cowboys, Parmalee and Nelson took the stage.

Before kicking off the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. on Thursday night (June 13), Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of the LoCash Cowboys told Taste of Country that one song from their new album could be the 'Duck Dynasty' theme song, should the popular A&E show ever need another. That turned into something of a prophetic statement.

The inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival kicks off this week. For those in attendance, that means live performances from Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson and many more. If you can't make it -- Hunter Mountain can only hold so many country fans, after all -- you can still watch the fun live, online via a stream from the venue.

The men of Parmalee call opening for Willie Nelson a lifetime achievement, but it's just the latest high of a 10-year career speckled with struggle and tragedy.
