PATRIOT (RE) ACT (Items on Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Neko Case, Collin Raye, Restless Heart, WIllie, Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, Roy Rogers, Skynyrd)

It's almost like a new annual tradition...or a New England tradition...
Either way, the first annual ticket sales for a Kenny Chesney tour stop next year are coming up December 13 (at 10:00 a.m. EST) for Kenny's August 15 show at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
When this year's show was announced last year ('ya with me?), tickets sold out in less than 15 minutes, so giddy up.

AP Tap: Kenny and Taylor Swift are among the nominees for music's entertainer of the year, according to member voting The Associated Press is conducting.

Case File: Alt country's Neko Case will release her first album in three years on March 3. "Middle Cyclone" feature a slew of guests, 12 new songs and three covers...and dig, it was recorded in Tucson, Brooklyn, Toronto, and Vermont.

You Can Depend on We: Collin Raye and Restless Heart are teaming up for a road show that'll last until at least next August.

You Can Depend on He: You never know what you'll get when you go to a Willie Nelson show...and that's a good thing.

Grammy Hall: Music from Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, Roy Rogers & Dale Evans and Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" are going into the Grammy Hall of Fame...Who else will "Get the Grammy Love?"
