Craig Morgan’s New CD, This Ole Boy, Is Out Today

With the release of his new CD, This Ole Boy, Craig Morgan says, “I think if you love and know Craig Morgan and you like my music it’s gonna be what you want.” Craig continues, “I think we’ve finally, as close as you can come to perfection in the studio and the process, I think we’ve come as close to perfecting what Craig Morgan does as we ever will.  I don’t know that we will ever get it this right again because of the label, the energy that I had when I went into the studio, the wellness I felt, I’ve never been so excited.”

Toadlick wishes Craig every success with This Ole Boy and knows everyone attending Toadlick Music Festival looks forward to seeing him perform with perfection!

Justin Moore Planning Hometown Fundraiser

The Country Vibe reports: “Justin Moore, who is from Poyen, Arkansas, has wanted to organize a hometown event to raise money for charity, and it looks like 2012 may be the year he’ll get it started.  “I kinda wanted to wait until I had what I thought was a legitimate platform instead of just going down there and raising a few hundred dollars, which every little bit counts.”  Now that he’s had some success and could attract more attention to an event and raise more money he says, “We’ve been trying to find a date for it.”  Plus he’s already started enlisting friends.  Justin boasts, “Darius [Rucker] owes me a bet.  We bet on the South Carolina/Arkansas game last year, so he lost it so he’s gotta come do a charity event for free for me.  F-R-E-E, free.  We just gotta find a date.”  As a father of two healthy little girls Justin will likely choose St. Jude as the beneficiary of his event because he says, “I’ve got a soft place in my heart for that place and those kids.  I mean I’ve been able to go down and visit those kids and see that.  And if that don’t touch your life and change you then you’ve got something wrong with you.””

Toadlick Music Festival is proud to present such a sharing heart with folks in March 2012! See you at Toadlick!

Joe Nichols and Wife Are Expecting Their First Child

Toadlick would like to extend hearty congratulations to Joe Nichols and his wife, Heather. The pair are expecting their first child this spring.  Heather told People magazine, “After trying to have a baby for so long, we are thrilled to announce that I am pregnant.”  Joe added, “I have to give all the credit to my wife — she has been a trooper through all of this, and I am so happy.”  Nashville News reports, “This is especially big news because Joe revealed last November that he and Heather had been seeing fertility specialists and trying to have a baby for four years.  The couple was married in September 2007 and this will be their first child together.  Joe has a 13 year old daughter, Ashelyn, from a prior relationship.”

Dierks Bentley Named Best Dressed by GQ

Toadlick Music Festival headliner, Dierks Bentley, was named by Gentlemen’s Quarterly Magazine as one of the best dressed men at the Grammy Awards this past Saturday evening. GQ reports, “Dierks shows us that when the codes of dress are as all over as they are at these awards, sometimes going the simple route is best. The black crewneck and slacks make for a sleek silhouette, while the beat-up leather jacket breaks things up and gives a rugged edge to the country star’s look.”

Toadlick completely agrees.

Toadlick wishes you a Happy New Year!

As 2011 winds down, Toadlick is gearing up for 2012! March 22, 23, and 24, 2012 are the dates of the Toadlick Music Festival and we are preparing to party. The Toadlick RV will be visiting cities and venues all across the southeast in 2012. Stay tuned to toadlick.com for scheduling information and stop by for a visit. We have Toadlick gear galore and we will be giving it away!  We look forward to seeing you.

From the Toadlick Family to yours, we wish you a safe and prosperous new year. Happy New Year Toadlickers everywhere!

National Peanut Festival – Day 7

We are certain the fine folks that host the National Peanut Festival were impressed with the size of last night’s crowds. The line of cars streaming into the Fairgrounds seemed endless. We want to thank everyone that stopped by the Toadlick Music Festival exhibit. They registered for free tickets, spun the wheel for free Toadlick t-shirts, competed in Toadlick cornhole tournaments, looked over the Toadlick corvette that will be given away on March 24th, and listened to our artists’ music all night long. The enthusiasm was overwhelming!

National Peanut Festival – Day 6

Brrrrr! The weather turned cooler and that coolness was compounded by strong winds on Toadlick’s sixth day at the National Peanut Festival. But the chill did not prevent thousands from enjoying the fair, the festivities, and the fellowship. The clues were solved and our hidden toads were found in record time allowing the winners to be rewarded with t-shirts and tickets to Toadlick! Stay tuned to Facebook for instant updates when future clues are posted.

National Peanut Festival – Day 5

The Fair was the place to be Tuesday night. From our vantage point at the Toadlick Music Festival exhibit, we witnessed thousands of vehicles streaming into the Fairgrounds all evening long. The venue was packed and the Toadlick Girls enjoyed meeting and greeting all those who stopped by to discover the details of Toadlick. Alongside the Toadlick Girls Tuesday evening were the lovely Ashford High School Cheerleaders. We want to thank these beautiful young ladies for their enthusiasm and assistance. Y’all rock!

If you have not yet liked us on Facebook, we encourage you to do so. Last night we hid stuffed toads around the Peanut Festival Fairgrounds and posted clues on Facebook to their hiding places. The two lucky toad-finders who won free tickets to Toadlick are pictured below.

Congratulations Ladies!

We had so much fun with this giveaway, we will be doing it again this evening. Visit our Facebook page here, like us, and stay tuned for clues. 

See you the Fair fellow toadlickers!

National Peanut Festval – Day 4

What a night! The Toadlick Music Festival exhibit was again swamped with visitors. Folks had an opportunity to view the 2011 Corvette we will be giving away, they registered for free tickets, and everyone spun the wheel to win free Toadlick t-shirts. Imagine our chagrin when four of the first six spinners won! If you are planning a visit to the Fair this year, stop by and see us as we have a few surprises in store for you.

Do we have any Cornhole aficionados out there? Challenge our champs, Trip Smith and Chris Gilbert, for a chance to win free tickets to Toadlick.

To find Toadlick’s exhibit, simply walk in the main entrance and head straight south towards the Wells Fargo Arena. We are on the right just before you reach the Arena. You will hear us before you see us as our fifteen artists’ music is playing all the time. Y’all come!
