Easton Corbin Forced Into Vocal Rest
Easton Corbin has been forced to cancel a handful of his shows this month after being told to go on vocal rest by his doctor. He has rescheduled the dates while he recovers from his illness he had been suffering from for a period of time. In a message for his fans, he apologizes for missing the dates and says he can’t wait to get back out on the road to perform.
“I wanted to let all of my fans know that I am truly sorry that I have had to cancel shows this month. I haven’t been feeling well, and after a few doctor visits, they informed me that I needed to rest. I am taking the time to get better and be 100% so that I can go back on the road and do what makes me happy, playing for all of you. Thank you for all of your love and support. Can’t wait to feel better and see all of you out on the road.”

Day Three: The Capital Hoedown ends with a Party
The final day of the second annual Capital Hoedown country music festival ended with a bang in Ottawa on Saturday night. With a day packed with stars and gates opening at noon, earlier by three hours than the first two days, country music fans in Canada’s capital were ready to party from the start. While the temperatures were hot and hard for some fans to take, it didn’t stop the fans from packing in to the general admission and VIP areas all day long, even after two nights of partying. And it really was partying: Friday night after the crowd was forced out of the park after Kenny Chesney, security found one fan passed out in a porta-potty.
The day kicked off right with Hoedown Showdown winners Wyatt introducing themselves to the crowd. The band won the chance to open up the final day of the Capital Hoedown with a contest that included a live competition in front of judges for who would get the line-up spot. The boys merged rock with country, and it was clear how excited they really were for the opportunity: they took over the whole stage and were all smiles even with the blazing heat. Their families were also in attendance at the festival, and watched proudly. The most memorable performance was their radio-friendly “Airplanes.”
Easton Corbin Celebrates First Two #1 Singles
July 13th might just be a date Easton Corbin and his team will never forget. He celebrated his first-ever double number one singles in the Nashville BMI offices yesterday. Corbin’s first two singles “I’m A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It” both went number one on the Billboard charts for the first time in 17 years for a solo male country artist. The last artist to pull off this feat was Clay Walker in 1994 with “What’s It To You” and “Live Until I Die.”
“It feels great and one of the most gratifying feelings is having the fans singing along with you. It’s one of those deals where you put out a record, and as your music grows, more people get familiar with it and more and more people sing along with it and that’s what it’s about.” – Easton Corbin to Countryweekly.com
Around 100 industry guests attended the party last night in Corbin’s honor. He accepted plaques from BMI, the Country Music Association (CMA), and his label Universal Music Group. The songwriters were among the guests at the celebration.
Darius Rucker announces Lineup for Benefit Concert
The second annual “Darius and Friends” charity concert line-up was announced this morning. Darius Rucker has invited friends Jarrod Niemann, Rodney Atkins, Justin Moore and Easton Corbin to join him in a benefit concert for St. Jude’s Hospital. It’s already a sold-out event and all proceeds will go directly to the hospital.
The Wildhorse Saloon in downtown Nashville will once again host the event, with doors opening at 6 pm CST and the concert opening at 8 pm CST.
“The first event was so great that we wanted to keep that same theme for this year: artists coming together for a great cause.”
The 2010 event was the first benefit concert hosted by Rucker for St. Jude’s and raised over $48,000 for the hospital. Rucker is hoping to beat that number this year.
