taste of country 2014

Stage Name: Jake Owen Real Name: Joshua Ryan Owen True story: When Jake first got a record deal, execs said that he should change his name due to the popularity of another Josh at the time, Josh Turner.

Tyler Farr hit the stage at the 'Today' show on Thursday (July 30) to perform 'Whiskey in My Water.' To top it off, he brought a little surprise whiskey along.

Country stars may have different styles, songs and voices, but they all agree on one thing: no fighting at concerts. Tyler Farr recently broke up a brawl at a Big Frog 104 show, reinstating the fact that it's cool to sing along and dance at shows, but it's not acceptable to throw punches.

There's a first time for everything, and that includes modern country music hits on Broadway -- more specifically, songs made famous by Kenny Chesney and Jake Owen.

Singer-songwriter Joel Crouse chose social media to announce the deets of his debut album. He took a break from dining in Nashville to share the news with his fans.

Country stars are used to being in front of the camera, always cheesing it up on the red carpet and at events. But Jake Owen reveals that he actually likes to be behind the lens, and he's ready to share his photography hobby with his fans.

Congratulations Josh and Amber!!

This is why Jake Owen is the man!

We need your help!

We'd like to thank everyone who came to party with us at Taste Of Country 2014 on Friday night (June 13). We had an awesome time, and we hope you did too.

Going from his typical country tunes to ones out of the realm of the genre, Jake Owen didn't disappoint!

It's no secret that one of the BEST things about Taste of Country is that the tailgating fun starts early, and it is always a good time. WYRK spent some time hanging out in the parking lots before the show to check out YOUR tailgating setup. Check out our photos below.
