Jana Kramer

Winter blues got you down?  Don't bother lying.  It's miserable out there.  Wouldn't it be better if you were in, say, Rivera Maya, Mexico?  The same place where, from Feb. 23-27, four major country music stars will be invading the Hard Rock Hotel...

Eight new artists are competing for New Artist of the Year honors at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Three came from reality television, one came from scripted television, three made it the old-fashioned way and one came from out of nowhere to become one of the hottest concert tickets in country music. Who do you think should win the New Artist of the Year award?

Poor Jana Kramer and her dog, Sophie. The singer shared on Saturday (Dec. 28) that she was in need of prayers after rushing her pup to the doggie ER.

Jana Kramer has been through a lot this year, and the actress-turned-singer may be ready to expose it all ... on her upcoming album, of course. Kramer has been using her social media accounts to begin teasing the highly-anticipated second album.

Prices for the country music getaway of a lifetime have been slashed. Effective immediately, fans of Dierks Bentley, Jana Kramer, Billy Currington and Brantley Gilbert (plus sunshine, the beach and relaxation) can take in this Mexican vacay for under $1,000 per person -- a 33 percent discount!

Jana Kramer was twice spotted holding hands with a Hollywood hunk in California over the weekend. Actor Scott Eastwood was allegedly seen with the 'Why Ya Wanna' singer at her Oct. 26 and Oct. 27 tour stops in San Diego and Anaheim.

Dierks Bentley wrapped up his Locked & Reloaded Tour with Miranda Lambert in Sioux City, Iowa earlier this month and this week posted a video chronicling what he called "the most fun tour he's been on."

Would you rather spend next February dealing with sleet, snow and cold weather in Upstate New York or enjoying sun, surf and your favorite country stars at Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand in Riviera Maya Mexico?

Mexico.  It's where you want to be.  Let's face it -- getting your toes (or boots) in the sand while you sip margaritas in a tropical paradise is pretty much on everyone's "to-do"  list.  But it's not always easy to get there.

Tickets for country music's getaway party at the Riviera Maya in Mexico will go on sale Friday (Oct. 4) morning. Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Billy Currington and Jana Kramer are the four headliners for Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand, the ultimate vacation escape. It's five days and four nights of nothing but white sand, blue skies and country music.
