THIS WEEK ON THE BACK PORCH |
Mitchell welcomes Lonestar and Dean Sam who is in the Country Artist Spotlight! In an era when inspiration and optimism are often in high demand and short supply, Lonestar has built a career providing both in good measure. The band's musical legacy is tied to modern-day classics like "Amazed," "I'm Already There," and "My Front Porch Looking In," heartfelt anthems to family, love and fidelity, as well as across-the-board hits of the first order.
Joining Mitchell in his Guest Spotlight is Taylor Swift. Taylor's new single Picture To Burn is already climbing the charts this week. Taylor's new album will be in stores sometime late this summer!
Requests & dedications all evening, toll free 1-866-Porch-98. Share your stories, recipes, and let Mitchell know which star you would like to see on the silver-screen!

The Judds Reunite for Stagecoach Show |
The Judds performed their only scheduled show for 2008 at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif., on Saturday night (May 3). The duo relied on their hits from the 1980s, with a solo turn from Wynonna in the middle of the set. They treated each other affectionately throughout their set and then off-handedly dedicated the show to therapists. Other performers appearing at Stagecoach on Saturday night included Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift, Dwight Yoakam, Earl Scruggs, the Dan Tyminski Band, Cross Canadian Ragweed, the Greencards, Cherryholmes and Hayes Carll, among many others. |

The Eagles Rock at Stagecoach Opening Night |
The Eagles headlined the first night of the Stagecoach country music festival on Friday night (May 2) in Indio, Calif. Although the band began their extensive set with four new songs (including the hit, "How Long"), they eventually rolled out many of their numerous classics, starting with "Hotel California" and encoring with "Desperado," with an easygoing crowd singing along with nearly every song. Other performers appearing at Stagecoach on Friday included John Fogerty, Glen Campbell, Trisha Yearwood, Craig Morgan, Michelle Branch, Shelby Lynne, Shooter Jennings and the Randy Rogers Band. The festival concludes Sunday (May 4). |

Dierks Bentley Visiting TV Shows and Backyards |
Dierks Bentley will travel across the nation for media appearances and intimate parties to promote his new album, Greatest Hits/Every Mile a Memory 2003-2008, which arrives in stores Tuesday (May 6). Bentley will gain the greatest visibility with a performance Wednesday (May 7) on NBC's Today and a May 15 appearance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live. However, he is also embarking on an 11-city tour to perform acoustic concerts in fans' living rooms and backyards across the country. Country radio stations are sponsoring contests to determine the winners. In addition, NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr. will host an album release party at his club, Whiskey River, in Charlotte, N.C. "Almost every night at our fan club meet-and-greet, someone invites me to a cool party at their house after the show," Bentley says. "And I can never go because we have to load out to get to the next city, but we are going to make up for lost time starting next week." |
