Blackjack Billy

Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott talked about what their babies are up to before taking the stage with Charles Kelley and Lady Antebellum at 2014 Country Jam in Grand Junction, Colo. on Friday night. Of course for Haywood, Baby A isn't born yet, but he was kind enough to provide a pregnancy update. They're just one of over a dozen artists who stopped to talk with Taste of Country backstage at the festival.

Fans covered Hunter Mountain like snow in December during Dierks Bentley's set at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. on Friday night. The singer was the last of five singers to take the stage, and was forced to follow a powerful show from Brantley Gilbert. He handled the pressure well.

All five of Friday's performers at the Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. took a moment backstage to talk about their new music, live shows, or what they'd be drinking if they were part of the crowd. Dierks Bentley talked about how his wife feels about his pilot's outfit. Blackjack Billy showed everyone how to (or how not to) line dance.

The Taste of Country Music Festival has begun, and things are already getting a little crazy. Backstage, before they took the stage, Friday night's performers stopped to take a "Good luck selfie," with a twist.

Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood and Dierks Bentley are three of the big-name acts who will be at the 2014 Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. The second annual music festival will be hitting the shores of Panama City Beach, Fla. to celebrate Labor Day and the lineup boasts more than a few big names in country music.

It's Music Monday! Every week I share a song I am currently listening to, it might be something you've never heard before, or an old favorite.
