Several months ago, there was something missing on New York City’s airwaves. While you could find just about any type of music that you wanted, country wasn’t one of them. Cumulus Broadcasting, seeing the great things happening in country music right now and noticing the void, set out to fix the problem by launching NASH FM 94.7 — the only country on any NYC frequency at the moment. The radio station was so successful that it’s celebrating by now bringing some of country’s biggest stars to the Big Apple in a three-day concert series titled Nash Bash!
The event will take place February 18 — 20 at the Roseland Ballroom. Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans, and Blake Shelton will be headlining the event, but there will be a ton of other great musical acts showing up for support, too. Those include Gary Allan, Lonestar, Justin Moore, Brantley Gilbert, Dustin Lynch, and Randy Houser, to name just a few. Kix Brooks will also be on hand to perform each evening, and he’ll also be taking on the role of host of the show for all three days.
In a statement regarding the event, Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey said, “The response to launching New York City’s only country radio station last month has been amazing and we’re excited about this opportunity to let our listeners celebrate with top country acts as we roll out NASH nationwide.”
That Nash brand will also include more than just NYC’s station and this event. It will include a magazine, a television program, and an online community. In order to promote their station even more so, Cumulus will not be selling tickets but rather, giving them away to listeners of Nash FM.
