Parmalee

Some of country's top stars and up-and-comers took time out from their busy schedules this Halloween to celebrate with some cool, creative costumes and even share some pictures with fans via social media.

The group Parmalee has been around the music business since 2001, but it wasn't until 2013 when we finally were acquainted with brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, their cousin Barry Knox and Josh McSwain, who has been a best friend since childhood, when the group released 'Carolina' and took it all the way to number 1! Well following up a number 1 isn't always easy, but the guys have new music today

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?

Parmalee know firsthand that being seen as commercially viable is as important as talent in the music business. What good is talent, after all, if no one knows what to do with it?

Entering the final month of 2013, here are the top songs for December on Q-106.5! This list might be useful in doing some music shopping for the Country Music fan on your list!  

Parmalee's debut country album 'Feels Like Carolina' will hit stores on Dec. 10, and the North Carolina-raised foursome are enjoying the success of their Top 10 hit 'Carolina.'

The band Parmalee is doing very well as of recent. The North Carolina natives are no strangers to the rigors of the music business. The members consist of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas, cousin Barry Knox, and Josh McSwain who is a best friend since childhood...

Heavy rain showers didn't stop country music fans who'd come from all over to see Willie Nelson on Thursday night. Thousands packed Hunter Mountain in New York for the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival. Ponchos, umbrellas, cold beverages and great country music kept fans in good spirits while the LoCash Cowboys, Parmalee and Nelson took the stage.

The men of Parmalee call opening for Willie Nelson a lifetime achievement, but it's just the latest high of a 10-year career speckled with struggle and tragedy.

Country music's hottest new music and camping festival just got even better. Four new artists have been added to an already star-studded lineup at the 2013 Taste of Country Music Festival. Craig Campbell, Parmalee, Rachel Farley and LoCash Cowboys will join headliners Willie Nelson and Lady Antebellum from June 13-15 at Hunter Mountain, N.Y.
