taste of bbq nationals

If you were there, then you know how great of a time this was. But for those who weren't, here are some more photos of the Taste Of Country BBQ Nationals that was held in Amarillo Texas Memorial Day Weekend. This was a great event with great music, great food and great people...

We at KAT Country 102 would like to thank everyone for coming out the the First Ever Taste Of Country BBQ Nationals right here in Amarillo!

A gathering of country fans anywhere means of a whole lot of fancy cowboy boots - especially here in Texas. No one one group of people appears to go bootless - you'll see everyone from teenagers holding hands to the more distinguished folks sitting back in lounge chairs sporting 'em.

That's just a taste of the Eli Young Band. They're taking the Party Stop stage tonight at the Taste of Country BBQ Nationals and you're invited. Gates open at 4 this afternoon at Westgate Mall. Look for the tents and swirling smoke from Master grill teams cooking up the best BBQ in the nation. It's Eli Young Band, Casey Donahew Band and Casey Berry and The Live Texas Mosquitoes.

You know all the words to his songs like "White Trash Story" and "Stock Yard", but I'm sure there are at least five things you don't know about Casey Donahew, who will be performing tonight at the Taste of Country BBQ Nationals. I had dinner with him a few months ago at Hofbrau here in Amarillo, and Donahew gave me his take on music and country stardom - and told me five things

The Eli Young Band stopped by the Kat Country 102 studio to talk music, travel and life ! Get your tickets now to see the Eli Young Band at The Taste Of Country BBQ Nationals this Friday night !

The Taste of County BBQ Nationals Kicks off tomorrow with 3 great concerts from Casey Berry & The Live Texas Mosquitoes, the  Casey Donahew Band and also the Eli Young Band.  I was able to talk to Casey Donahew  about his transition from doing rodeos to writing music and what it's like to work with his wife Melinda who is also his manager.

After watching this, you'll  be wondering the same thing: was that a crazy dream or am I  just crazy in love?  If you're crazy about the band and the bbq, get your tickets to the Taste of Counry BBQ Nationals at any Pak-A-Sak location.  I recommend the 2 day combo ticket for $15.oo.  Buy them today and save. Prices go up this Thursday.

Love this new one from Dierks and it matches the mood I'm in, how about you? Am I the only one who wants to start the weekend today? Ok, then, let the Memorial Day Weekend begin.  We've got the Taste of Country BBQ 2 day festival kicking off Friday just off I-40 at Westgate Mall...

It's the Monday before the Memorial Day weekend and this is your invitation to the best bbq in the world and they're serving it up here in Amarillo. Save gas. Save money. Bring the whole family.  I recommend the 2 day combo ticket.  It's $15...

In preparation for the Taste of County BBQ Nationals, I interview Casey Donahew today who is going to be playing the first day of the event on May 27th.  I asked Casey about his transition from doing rodeos to writing music and what it's like to work with his wife Melinda who is also his manager.

What wouldn't taste better wrapped in bacon? Things I've wrapped in bacon: meatloaf, dates, and candy bars. Try it.  Wrap it in bacon. Slap it, oh yeah and slather it in barbecue sauce and let me know how you did it. What would you do with a pound of bacon and an open pit?
