Jamboree In The Hills | Official Website
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamboree_in_the_Hills
"Jamboree in the Hills, also known as the "Super Bowl of Country Music," is an annual four-day-festival of country music in the rolling hills of Morristown,{Belmont County} Ohio (about 1½ hours west of Pittsburgh, and 20 minutes west of Wheeling, West Virginia) in Belmont County. The concert, owned by parent company Live Nation, showcases a wide variety of new, veteran, and legendary musicians, and runs Thursday through Sunday every summer during the third week of July".
History and Tradition
Jamboree in the Hills (often abbreviated as JITH or "Jambo") began as a two-day outdoor music festival in July 1977 and was held at Brush Run Park, St. Clairsville,Ohio. It was the concept of Glenn Reeves along with Jerry Brightman that brought it to fruition. It has since grown to a four-day, annual festival, bringing in more than 100,000 country music fans each year. Fans from all over the United States, and from many areas of the world, pitch tents and park campers on the hill above the amphitheater and all through the immediate region, filling camp grounds, front yards, and backyards alike, dragging wagons loaded with lawn chairs, beer, and plenty of ice.
The current outdoor amphitheater (the second site for the concert since 1977) is currently enhanced by several speaker towers and Jumbotron TV screens, so even the fans at the top of the rolling hill can easily enjoy the show. Jamboree in the Hills is one of the largest and most celebrated annual country music events. The concert range is so large that it is home to its very own post office and on-site emergency ward staffed by East Ohio Regional Hospital that has, in the past, even delivered babies on the grounds.
The site is even host to a number of weddings each year. There is a photo aisle in front of the stage where fans can walk through and take snapshots of their favorite country music artists. In 2006, the barn-like stage used to showcase performers underwent a massive face lift. It was completely torn down and replaced with a bigger stage to better suit the hillside amphitheater. There is also an area on site where fireworks are shot off on a given night during the concert (traditionally, Saturday).
Usually country music stars are the main focus of the concert, but entertainers from other genres have also shared the stage over the years, including "Weird Al" Yankovic, The Beach Boys and the Steve Miller Band. The entire event has been carried on Wheeling radio stations 1170 WWVA and/or 98.7 WOVK, every year since its inception, having originally grown out of WWVA's live Jamboree radio show. The show was simulcast on both stations for many years, but WOVK is now the sole radio home for the JITH broadcast. Portions of the show are also covered live on local TV station WTOV, aside from a few performers who decline to go on air (usually only one or two each year). Recent examples include Carrie Underwood (due to American Idol contracts) and Keith Urban. For the 2009 festival, only two days were broadcast locally.
Past performers include Alan Jackson,Barbara Mandrell, Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Sammy Kershaw, Travis Tritt, Alabama, Kenny Chesney, The Charlie Daniels Band, Martina McBride, Toby Keith, Keith Urban, Hank Williams, Jr., Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Brooks & Dunn and Merle Haggard. For the past 19 years in a row Neal McCoy has become a fan favorite and has even been dubbed as Jamboree's favorite".
Always liked country..also think the Louisiana Cajun music is excellent ....fiddles..love 'em.
Not exactly modern but good stuff.
Hmmm not saying the older stuff is crap (it's good too).. good songs are good songs innit.. regardless of age or genre IMHO. But try some of the "modern" country guys before you discount them, promise you might be impressed.
Shit, if it can win me over (and I was anti-country) having to listen to really old country songs living with my Nana, it can win you guys over too.
Try this one guys...
