What are two things that go together well? Country Music and Vegas! After finishing out ACM Week in Vegas, there is nothing better than to focus on all of the Country Acts making their way back out for the Route 91 Harvest Festival!
There is no shortage of talent on the lineup! Plus the full line up hasn’t even been revealed yet! That means there is going to be even more extraordinary talent! The festival takes place at the Las Vegas Village across from Luxor September 30, 2016- October 2, 2016.
So far the lineup includes:
Stay tuned for more announcements and features! For more information go to rt91harvest.com.
Get ready to freak out! The CMA Fest Riverfront Stage Performers were just revealed and we are kind of obsessed!!! Jake Owen will be kicking things off at 10am Thursday June 9, 2016. There are 40 artists scheduled to perform! Who else is kind of freaking out?!
More stages to be announced over the coming weeks, the next being The Park Stage April 19. More announcements for artists performing the National Anthem at the Riverfront Stage will also be revealed at a later time. Stay tuned!
Headlining night 1 of ACM’s Party For A Cause was none other than Carrie Underwood. It’s her we have to thank for this wonderful day of Women In Country! She requested the bill for Friday to be all Female Country Artists! It was definitely a day in heaven!
Underwood has one of the most amazing voices across all genres! It was wonderful to hear her perform her new single “Church Bells.”
Her previous single, “Heartbeat” recently hit #1 and happens to be my favorite off the Storyteller album!
Underwood also performed a song off her album Storyteller called “Dirty Laundry.” It’s a fun song about what happens when a man cheats on you! Of course being cheated on is definitely not fun, but it’s a warning to men, if you do it, well your dirty laundry is going to be aired!
Waiting all day/night for Underwood to perform was well worth it. She always blows it out of the water! Speaking of water, she performed her GRAMMY winning song “Something In The Water.” I had to record a clip as it’s such a powerful song that really showcases her vocal range!
Not only did Underood request to have an all female bill, but she then invited them back to sing with her! The atmosphere was crazy as Kelleigh Bannen, Lauren Alaina, Kellie Pickler and Jana Kramer all came back out to perform “Before He Cheats” with Underwood!

One Tree Hill alum, Jana Kramer was the third performer at ACM’s Party For A Cause festival that took place April 1, 2016 in Las Vegas. While running around trying to see everyone, we managed to get some photos and a video of her performing “Boomerang.”

If you’ve been following this site for the last few years, you will know that over at Variety Beat, we are huge Kelleigh Bannen fans! It was so exciting to see Bannen perform at ACM Party For A Cause! Bannen was the very first performer of the festival and she set the tone right away with a song called “Welcome To The Party,” which was very fitting!
I do have to say, being in the front for the performance, made the sound quality a little off, but for those die hard fans who need a taste of new music, we have you covered! Keep reading for more videos and photo galleries!

Bannen also debuted some new songs and did a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Drink You Away.”
Nine hours to the closest beach? That sounds terrible! Thankfully for those of us near water, we don’t have to worry about that! But this fun song about it being damn hot and being “Landlocked” sure is fun!
Bannen also performed a couple of her past singles including “Smoke When I Drink” and she closed with “Famous.” Of course we were too busy dancing to record any of that! Don’t worry, we did get a video of a new song called “All Good Things.” Bannen will hopefully be able to tell us about some “good things” happening in her life, music wise soon!
It was a great day as we got to start and end our day with Bannen! Headliner, Carrie Underwood (gallery coming soon), brought out Bannen along with Lauren Alaina, Kellie Pickler and Jana Kramer to sing her hit song “Before He Cheats.”
