Ticked!!

Hope you're having a great Tuesday!!! Some interesting things going on in the world of country music this week. First up, we're giving away a trip to the CMA Music Festival in Nashville June 7-10, courtesy of our friends at Remington Grille. You can stop by any of the five triangle area Remington Grille's to sign up or listen to 99.9 Genuine Country for your chance to quailfy for this cool trip and a chance to meet all your favorite country stars and win a Sara Evans autographed guitar.

Now on to some news........I just knew this was gonna happen with that prankster Brad Paisley.....

The practical joke war has begun, and Brad Paisley's opening acts -- Jack Ingram, Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler -- better watch their backs. It seems the trio ganged up to pull a fast one on Brad Friday during the performance of his current single, "Ticks," at a stop in Moline, Illinois this past weekend. Taylor (a-k-a "Taylor Tick") and Kellie ("Kellie Tickler") -- dressed in tick costumes -- entered from opposite sides of the stage and made their way directly toward Brad. A couple of minutes later, Jack ("The Exterminator") broke up the "attack," while wearing a "Jack's Pest Control" suit, to save Brad by exterminating both "ticks." One of Brad's band members was overheard saying, "Even Taylor's mama ain't safe now!"

Here's a link to the video of the show and I have to say I love the Red High Heels Kellie "Tick"ler is wearing.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4JFul5Ff50

I love Brad!!!

Don't forget to listen to Vince Daniels this week in the mornings to win some cool Mother's Day gifts for your mom. The big day is coming up Sunday May 13th..

I'll have tickets to see Trace Adkins at Carolina Crossroads.....every afternoon this week. When you hear me play two Trace Adkins songs back-to-back be caller nine at 860-0999 and you'll win a family four pack of tickets for the show on June 2nd, which also features SheDaisy and The Poverty Neck Hillbillies.

The Academy of Country Music Awards is next Tuesday night in Las Vegas and you'll feel like you're there when the show is broadcast on WRAL TV 5 in the triangle. Showtime 8pm and the fun and frivolity will be hosted by Reba McEntire. Listen this week for special blurbs on the nominees here on 99.9 Genuine Country.
