Alabama to Play Free Livestream Concert on New Year's Eve - Taste of Country

Posted: 29 Dec 2020 10:56 AM PST

Country rock legends Alabama are ready to say goodbye to 2020 with a free New Year's Eve livestream concert. The virtual event will be available to viewers thanks to recreational vehicle outpost Camping World; it's part of the motorhome outfitter's Ultimate RV Show national tour series.

The veteran Southern rockers are just the latest country group to host a virtual concert in place of live, in-person appearances. This past year has seen plenty of such performances since the coronavirus pandemic brought most live music and touring to a standstill beginning in March.

In a joint statement, founding Alabama members Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook get fans psyched for the gig while giving a shoutout to Camping World and its CEO, Marcus Lemonis. (Lemonis recently donated $500,000 to help businesses impacted by this month's Nashville bombing.)

Camping World

"What better way to start the new year than to have a free concert on New Year's Eve for our fans around the world?" the band posits. "We are pleased that Marcus and our friends at Camping World are presenting this special performance from Nashville."

"We cannot wait to get back on tour soon and want to see you in person. Sit back, relax, crank up the sound and 'Roll On' into 2021. Wishing you a very Happy New Year."

Alabama formed in 1969 when Owen, Gentry and Cook — the three are cousins — came together near their Fort Payne, Ala., home base to begin forging their unique blend of country music, bluegrass and rock. They've since released more than 20 studio albums, including holiday collections such as 2017's American Christmas. The group is probably best known for their string of No. 1 country singles throughout the 1980s, and in 1985 they made history by becoming the first act in the genre to go quadruple-Platinum.

Alabama's New Year's Eve concert will kick off a run of several livestreams to be featured among Camping World's 10-week Ultimate RV Show. Country radio's Shawn Parr will host the weekly series.

Virtual concertgoers can stream the Alabama performance live this New Year's Eve night (Dec. 31) at 9PM ET at ultimatervshow.com.

About ALABAMA

It's been more than 50 years since Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry and Randy Owen left the cotton farms of Fort Payne, Alabama to spend the summer playing music in a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina bar called The Bowery. It's a classic American tale of rags to riches. From humble beginnings picking cotton in the fields to international stars, ALABAMA went on to sell 80 million albums and change the face and sound of country music. Quality songs that have become the soundtrack for American life are the foundation for ALABAMA's stellar career. The group introduced rock style guitars, lights, pyrotechnics and sounds to the country audience that has inspired many of today's brightest country stars including Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. While their music continues to stand the test of time, their numbers and stats are beyond compare. Five decades since starting the band, ALABAMA has charted 43 #1 singles, including 21 #1 singles in a row, and have won dozens of CMA, GRAMMY®, and ACM Awards. They are members of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Musicians Hall of Fame and have their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition, they are world-class philanthropists who have raised millions of dollars for various charities.

beyond the valley 2022 :: Article Creator All The Fun With None Of The Buzz, The Story Behind Montana's Only Non-alcoholic Bar Hold My Bar is a fascinating blend of contradictions. It's a bar that observes Dry January all year, serving zero-proof and non-alcoholic drinks. But it's not just any bar — it's a 1976 horse trailer transformed into a prohibition-era oasis. And despite its modest Instagram following, Hold My Bar has a dedicated fan base that travels to farmers markets in Whitefish, Columbia Falls, and Kalispell for a taste of its refreshing concoctions. Since February, Hold My Bar, Montana's first non-alcoholic bar, has been a hub of community activity. From its vintage horse trailer, uniquely named beverages like "The Witch Doctor" and "Magical Rose Margarita" are served al fresco, both in the Flathead Valley during weekday markets as well as at pop-up locations across the state.

He's returning for the first time this summer as a faculty member who plans to shake things up and hopefully change how the participants – and audiences – think about and perform music. Block began exploring improvisation and non-Western music during his undergraduate years at Cleveland Institute of Music and while earning his graduate degree at Juilliard, and since then, "my professional direction has taken me very explicitly away from Western classical music.
