The North Dakota State Fair and Cheyenne Frontier Days were both eager
to get on board with supporting this
great cause. Both events partnered
with KISS to donate $1 from every KISS
ticket sold to The Wounded Warrior
Care Project.
A $15,884 donation was made by KISS
and Cheyenne Frontier Days, in conjunction with Romeo Entertainment
Group.
In Minot, The North Dakota State Fair
and KISS partnered to donate $14,482
to the fund.
We wanted the best. We got the best. Legendary classic rock
band KISS played at two Romeo Entertainment Group events
for the first time in history this past summer. The band played
at Cheyenne Frontier Days on July 23rd and at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot on July 24th.
Both shows did very well, with the show in Minot being a
complete sell-out with 15,082 fairgoers in attendance. The
show in Cheyenne was attended by 16,715 fans. But the
shows didn’t just make money for the events; they also raised
money for a great cause.
“This generous donation to the CSRA Wounded Warrior Care
Project in Augusta, Georgia, will allow us to continue our
focus on ensuring that the wounded, ill and injured service
members who come to us from across America get coordinated care, family reintegration skills and the training and
education that leads to employment,” stated Laurie Ott, Executive Director of the CSRA Wounded Warrior Care Project.
“The fact that KISS, Cheyenne Frontier Days, and The North
Dakota State Fair recognize the importance of this mission
speaks volumes about their interest in our nation’s troops
and their families and their support for them.”
Early in the summer, both Frontier Days and the North Dakota State Fair became aware that KISS wanted to donate
$1 from every ticket sold on their concert tour to the CSRA
Wounded Warrior Care Project, a nonprofit organization
headquartered in Augusta, Georgia dedicated to creating the
model for harnessing state, federal, and local resources that
benefit wounded soldiers, veterans, and their families. The
project also has other initiatives/programs including an employment and training program for Iraq and Afghanistan returnees, marriage and family enrichment retreats, computer
training programs and mentor programs. KISS got the idea to
contribute to this organization after visiting wounded warriors in Augusta while on tour.
KISS is proud to pose with their belt buckles, the Cheyenne Frontier Days
chairmen, Bob Romeo, and a check for the Wounded Warriors.

Last Stands
Legendary country duo Brooks &
Dunn and German heavy metal
band the Scorpions had two things
in common last summer – both
acts were touring for the last time
and both acts drew some of the
biggest crowds ever at REG’s fairs
and festivals last summer.
The Scorpions say goodnight after playing to a sold-out crowd of 12,000 at the
Douglas County Fair in Roseburg, OR.
Brooks & Dunn
The Scorpions
Brooks & Dunn is the most successful duo in country music
history. They have produced more than 50 singles that have
charted on the Billboard Country Songs Chart since their
debut in 1991. In 2009, the duo announced that they would
part ways, but not before doing one final farewell tour, which
would fittingly be called “The Last Rodeo.”
The Scorpions are best known for their song, “Rock You Like
REG secured two dates on “The Last Rodeo” tour, which was
especially notable since Brooks & Dunn only played two other
fair or festival-type shows on the tour. The duo played at the
North Dakota State Fair in Minot on Friday, July 23rd and at
Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming on Saturday, July 24th.
Both shows did big numbers. The show in Minot was sold out
with 16,000 show passes sold (the show pass also included
shows with The Band Perry and Eric Church, Darius Rucker,
and Sugarland). Brooks & Dunn drew a crowd of 20,064 in
Cheyenne.
REG was able to snag three shows with the Scorpions in 2010.
The band played at The Douglas County Fair in Roseburg,
Oregon on August 6th, at the Clark County Fair in Ridgefield,
Washington on August 7th, and at The MontanaFair in Billings
on August 14th. The shows in Roseburg and Ridgefield were
both sell-outs! In Roseburg, the Scorpions set a record amphitheater attendance of 12,000 and helped set record beer
sales. In Ridgefield, 9,000 people attended the sold-out show.

ASK the CLIENTS
What is the strangest or most memorable request you have received
from an artist playing at your event?
1958: That Crazy Feeling
1966: Here’s That Rainy Day
Mac Coffin - Burlington Steamboat Days
Vicki Rupert – Wyoming State Fair
1977: Lucille
The most memorable I’ve seen in a while was Zac Brown
Band’s “Eat and Greet.” It was different. No act has ever done
anything like that. They greeted every person as they came in
and it had a family picnic atmosphere. You can see why he is
doing so well – it’s because of the relationship he builds with
his fans.
The year that we had Tracy Byrd and his band, we had loaner
4-wheelers down in the dirt for our volunteer staff to utilize
for errands and such. Well, Tracy’s band noticed the 4-wheelers and asked if they could take a ride on them. I said “sure”,
thinking that they would just take them around the fairgrounds for a spin. About four of the guys took off on individual 4-wheelers and they were out of site before I knew
what happened. They were gone for a long time! I was worried but thought “well they are adults, they will be fine and
they will find their way back sooner or later.” Well, it was later
than sooner and they were escorted back by the police department - first because the 4-wheelers were not licensed to
be on any main roads and second, just maybe because they
were going a little faster than they should be going on the
main roads in our little town. So, long story short, they made
it back in one piece, on time for the show, did not wreck the
4-wheelers, or hurt themselves on the 4-wheelers OR get a
speeding ticket! But, I bet you they could have talked their
way out of a ticket, most likely, because they fit right in our
little town and they were very down to earth guys! And they
put on a GREAT concert!!!! I would recommend them to any
event for booking!
1982: Through the Years
1999: Buy Me a Rose

Through the years, Romeo Entertainment Group has booked
dozens and dozens of shows with Kenny Rogers. He may not
rule the country charts like he did in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but he seems to be more popular than ever. REG
booked five dates with “The Gambler” this year and two of
them were complete sell-outs.
The Brown County Fair in Aberdeen, South Dakota and The
Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota were two of the soldout shows this summer. In two of the other venues, The
Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden, Washington and The
Pendleton Round-Up in Pendleton, Oregon, the crowds for
Kenny Rogers were at almost 90 percent of capacity. Kenny
also played at the Eastern Idaho Fair in Blackfoot, Idaho,
where he attracted 4,604 fans.
Larry Gerlach of the Brown County Fair had nothing but
praise for Rogers’ show.
“I did not hear a single complaint about the show,” said Gerlach. “He really knows how to please a crowd. There were 90
year-olds and teenagers. We would love to have him back.”
The Corn Palace Director Mark Schilling echoed Gerlach’s
sentiments.
“This is our first time in a while for a sell out,” explained Schilling. “It’s been a number of years since a show sold out like
this. When we released artist holds, even those sold immediately.” Schilling added that the people appreciated the way
Rogers interacted with the crowd, such as making comments
about the Corn Palace. He said the show rated very high on
a web survey the Corn Palace took after the festival. In fact,
Rogers was one of highest ranked artists they had ever seen.
2005: I Can’t Unlove You
#1 singles include:
Lucille (1977), Daytime Friends (1977), Love or
Something Like It (1978), The Gambler (1978),
She Believes in Me (1979), You Decorated My
Life (1979), Coward of the County (1979), Lady

You Around (1982), We’ve Got Tonight (1983),
Islands In the Stream (1983), Crazy (1985), Morning Desire (1986), Tomb of the Unknown Love
(1986), Make No Mistake, She’s Mine (1987), Buy
Me a Rose (1999).
In 2010, Kenny formally celebrated his 50th year in the entertainment industry with a celebration tribute concert in April
before proceeding with his 50th Anniversary road tour. Artists
paying tribute to him included Tim McGraw, Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton, and Alison Krauss.
It’s no wonder Rogers continues to be popular among three
generations of fans. He has had no less than 120 hit singles
in his career, including a hit single in each of the last six decades! He has also been an actor, record producer, songwriter, photographer, and entrepreneur.
Pat Moffett – Cheyenne Frontier Days
A few years ago an artist finished a show on the CFD stage
and requested a dozen corn dogs be delivered to the tour
bus. Several CFD committee members worked on making
this request a reality. The person who actually delivered the
corn dogs to the bus is nicknamed “Corn Dog” to this day.
Douglas Meier – Sheridan WYO Rodeo
Molly Hatchet needed a Gibson Les Paul Double-Humbucker
guitar and told us this just four hours prior to gates. This is a
guitar that is pretty hard to find. A member of our stage crew
overheard me making a call and told me that he actually had
one at home. Molly Hatchet guitarist Bobby Ingram used the
guitar for all but one song of the concert.
Rod Easton – Grays Harbor County Fair
The year we had Bryan White, he had in his rider that we must
furnish him with Flintstone chewable vitamins.
Dave Thurman (Service Rep) - Evergreen State Fair
The one thing that sticks out in my mind is from Kenny Loggins. He required a pint of Silk Ice Cream with a silver spoon
to be ready in his dressing room immediately after his concert. The interesting thing was, he would only eat one spoon
full of ice cream and be done.

Surprise Guest at Deschutes County Fair
bined for record attendance at this year’s festival. Records
were broken in spite of the fact that one headline act, Theory
of a Deadman, didn’t even get to go on because of thunderstorms.
“We did all we could do to get that show on. Romeo, Steamboat Days, and the act had great communication. No one
wanted to cancel the show and we did all we could do to get
it on, but no regrets,” said Scott Smith, Burlington Steamboat
Days Vice-President of Marketing. The festival is hoping to
bring back Theory of a Deadman in 2011.

Steamboat Days.
2010 was a record-breaking year for ticket sales at Burlington Steamboat Days in Burlington, Iowa. This success was
particularly sweet considering that the event is still “bouncing back” after having to cancel half of the event two years
ago due to devastating floods.
The artist line-up was the reason for the great year, according to Mac Coffin, Vice-President of Entertainment for Burlington Steamboat Days. Romeo Entertainment Group was
able to book two of the biggest country acts out there right
now – the Zac Brown Band and Lady Antebellum. These two
acts are not only topping the country charts, but are also having crossover hits onto the pop charts, which makes their fan
bases even wider.
Burlington Steamboat Days plans to book at least two nights
of modern rock again in 2011. Most of all, they want to keep
bringing in new faces to build a fan base for the festival in
years to come.

The Montana State Fair Tries
New Ticketing Concept
Free is always the most popular price. With this in mind, The
Coffin attributes a good part of the success to a conscious effort that was made to book acts that would attract a younger
crowd. Steamboat Days had tried to book modern rock acts
in the past, but often couldn’t get rock acts to commit early
enough. The festival likes to announce its full line-up by early
spring. This year the routing just worked.
However, with the exception of those 1,500 premium tickets,
the rest of the seats, about 4,700 of them, were free. According to Lisa Bracco, Montana State Fair Manager, this provided an awesome atmosphere for the concerts. The building
wasn’t full every night, but it was close. LeAnn Rimes with
the Great Falls Symphony was the most popular show.
The festival was able to book modern rock acts Buckcherry
and Theory of a Deadman, which brought in many new faces.
Bracco first came up with the idea to offer free tickets while
attending the IAFE Convention last year and discussing it
with REG’s Fran Romeo. They wanted to try something new
to increase the concert attendance and get people fired up
about the fair.
When the fair first announced that admission to many of
the concerts would be free, people didn’t believe it. The announcement was made on April 1st and many thought it was
an April Fool’s joke!
Neal McCoy did not realize that his friend and fellow country
artist Blake Shelton was also on his way to Sweet Home. Blake
and his band were staying at a hotel in nearby Bend, Oregon.
Blake and his crew heard that Neal was playing at the Deschutes County Fair. Blake had played at the Deschutes County Fair a few years ago in 2007 and was relatively familiar with
the venue. So he had the hotel shuttle him and some of his
band members to the fair. They went through the front gate
and paid admission like regular customers.
They made their way to the event center where Neal McCoy’s
concert was taking place. Once they entered they spotted
Neal’s tour manager, Les Martinez, at the sound board. They
walked up and said hello. Les was shocked to see them, but
quickly snuck Blake backstage so he could surprise Neal.
Montana State Fair in Great Falls changed its ticketing format
this year. The majority of the seats at each concert were free
for those who paid gate admission into the fair.
“We had a slam dunk with Lady Antebellum and the Zac
Brown Band,” said Coffin. The six-day festival also featured
Billy Currington, Jason Michael Carroll, Theory of a Deadman,
and Buckcherry.
Good advance sales, along with a lot of walk-up sales, com-
mond, Oregon. Neal McCoy was booked to play at The Hooker Creek Event Center on the fairgrounds. Later that week,
McCoy was booked to play at the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet
Home.
Free to Fairgoers:
A new ticketing concept called “Premium Access Seating”
was introduced for those willing to pay for a reserved seat on
the arena floor. The Premium Access Seating also included
beer and wine service. 1,500 of these tickets were available
for purchase for each concert including Styx, Luke Bryan, Lifehouse, LeAnn Rimes (with the Great Falls Symphony Orchestra), and Clay Walker.
“The young crowd that came made the difference,” stated
Coffin, adding that the festival attracted many people from
outside the Burlington area this year. He also explained that
the rock shows had “the most buzz” even though the country
shows actually had the highest attendance.
It was the first night of the Deschutes County Fair in Red-
About 45 minutes into his show, Neal McCoy was stunned
when Blake Shelton jumped onstage with him! They ended
up singing a song together. After that, Blake proceeded to sit
on the side of the stage and watch the rest of the show.
One of country music’s top new artists, Luke Bryan, enjoys performing at the
2010 Montana State Fair.
The fair also tried a new ticketing format and promotion with
its rodeo. After the rodeo on Friday, there was a free concert
with country singer Keith Anderson. The concert was free
with the purchase of a rodeo ticket. It ended up being one of
the biggest crowds the fair has ever had for the rodeo.
Ross Rogers, the fair’s marketing coordinator, was backstage
dealing with other matters when he was told that someone
had just jumped onstage with Neal McCoy. When he got to
the stage and recognized it was Blake Shelton, he didn’t believe his eyes!
The fair also hosted a show with country star Darius Rucker.
This was the only show that did not include any free tickets.
When asked about the experience, Rogers just laughed and
said, “Nothing like this has happened before, so it was cool.”
Indeed, the crowd of 6,000 at the fair that night were treated
to a truly rare impromptu performance from two great artists.
Rogers added that Blake ended up staying and hanging with
Neal backstage after the show. Shelton was very down-toearth and stayed out of the spotlight while McCoy did his
meet-n-greet.
The Montana State Fair plans to continue to offer free seats
for their concerts in 2011. “The community was so excited
about this offer that it would be hard to go back to what we
used to do,” explained Bracco.
After the show, word got around to the local crowd that Blake
and Neal had gone to a local bar called Timber’s to sing karaoke. Many fans followed them to the bar where McCoy and
Shelton sang until 1:30 a.m. before calling it a night.

Celebrating 100 Years
The Northwest Washington Fair
The
Northwest Washington Fair is celebrated annually in
Lynden, Washington for six days in August, beginning on a
Monday and ending on Saturday. This year the fair celebrated its centennial year from August 16-21. Like many fairs, the
Northwest Washington Fair features a vast array of things to
do and see including concerts, a demolition derby, a carnival,
animal exhibits, horse shows, vendors, showcases, and more.
Two REG clients reached a milestone this
year. Both the Pendleton Round-Up and
the Northwest Washington Fair
celebrated their hundredth year in 2010.
To celebrate 100 years, the 2010 fair included a space
known as “Centennial Hall,” which was dedicated to memorabilia from the past. There was also a nightly laser show
and a free entertainment stage, on which new country trio
Stealing Angels performed, along with other acts. There
was also a “birthday party” for sponsors and donors and
a cake decorating contest. In addition, a new arena was
built this year and was fittingly named “Centennial Arena.”
When asked how the fair has changed in the last 100 years, Jim
Baron, General Manager of the Northwest Washington Fair
stated, “The fair has changed in so many ways that it is difficult to characterize.” Big name entertainment is definitely one
of the big changes. Baron stressed that he is proud that “with
all the changes, we have not lost the focus on agriculture.”
This photo reveals the new “splinter-free seating” in the Centennial
West End Grandstands at The Pendleton Round-Up.
The Pendleton Round-Up
The Pendleton Round-Up takes place in Pendleton, Oregon
every year during the first full week of September at The
Happy Canyon Arena. The event’s main feature is PRCA Rodeo from Wednesday through Sunday, but the Round-Up has
come to be an entire week’s worth of festivities. One of the
highlights is a concert with national headline acts on the Saturday prior to the Round-Up. The week also includes parades,
a children’s rodeo, beauty pageants, a golf tournament, and
the legendary Happy Canyon Indian Pageant, a live show that
depicts early American Indian culture and the culture clash
and eventual peace that followed when emigrants settled in
the West. The Round-Up works in a partnership with Happy
Canyon to put on the week-long celebration.
As part of its hundred year celebration, the Round-Up featured throw-back exhibition events each day before the rodeo including a Hide Race and Wild Horse Race. Reunions of
Past Champions and Previous Court Royalty were also held.
The Pendleton Round-Up has spent nearly $10 million in the
last two years improving its seating and street frontage and
Baron also believes the fair’s founders would be proud to see
how what they started 100 years ago has grown and developed. The fair’s overall attendance was up by about 2 percent
this year. We look forward to another successful fair in 2011.
according to Carl Culham, Publicity Director for the RoundUp, that has probably been the biggest way the event has
changed in the last 100 years. Other than that, he is proud
to say that the Round-Up holds true to its heritage and tradition – there is still no in-arena advertising, they still have their
famed grass area, and still have wooden bucking chutes.

The Pendleton Round-Up first hosted a concert in 1985
with Reba McEntire. Since then, a slew of legends, including
George Strait and The Beach Boys, have graced the stage.
This year Kenny Rogers and The Oak Ridge Boys played to
a crowd of almost 3,700. Overall attendance for The Happy
Canyon Grounds was up by almost 50 percent for the Pendleton Round-Up’s centennial year. The Round-Up continues
to be “an annual shot in the arm” to the economy in Eastern
Oregon, according to Culham, in addition to a wonderful
celebration of heritage and exhibition of western traditions.
While the first Round-Up back in 1910 hosted about 7,000
people, the annual event now sees around 100,000 visitors.

The fair first featured national concert acts in the 1960s. Some
of the most popular acts to play the fair during that time were
Hank Thompson, Grandpa Jones, Loretta Lynn, Donna Fargo,
and Leroy Van Dyke. This year’s grandstand line-up included
parody-writer “Weird Al” Yankovic, country legend Kenny
Rogers, Christian group Casting Crowns, and the 1980’s pop
sensation Rick Springfield. Kenny Rogers and Casting Crowns
drew the biggest crowds.

the show with Jerry Carroll at the fairgrounds, and fireworks.
The show was attended by about 1,000 people and everyone loved it. Town officials have considered hosting a show
for the community annually or bi-annually in years to come.
Location: Lexington, KY
Event Date: September 24, 2010
Concert: Randy Travis with special guests LeAnn Rimes and
Craig Morgan
Synopsis: The Lexington Legends are a Minor League Class A
baseball team. The Legends’ management team decided to
try doing some concerts inside the team’s venue, Applebee’s
Park, as an alternative form of entertainment for the local
community and fans of the team. They have done some concerts in previous years, but this was the first year they used
REG as their talent buyer. The concert drew about 3,000 people. This venue looks forward to doing more shows with REG.
Midland Lutheran College – Back to School Bash
A June 20th tornado tore the roof right off of The Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark, home to The MontanaFair.
The show must go on. Never was this exemplified better
than at this year’s MontanaFair in Billings. The fair always begins during the second weekend of August and is held at the
MetraPark facility and grounds. A tornado touched down in
Billings on June 20th and ripped the roof right off of the Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark, about eight weeks before the
start of the 2010 fair.
lines. The next week, 500 United Way volunteers came to the
grounds to remove the smaller debris. A total of 145,000 tons
of material were removed. Crews were hired to work specifically on the 6,200-seat grandstand to get it cleaned, painted,
and ready to be used for the concerts. The fair’s sound and
light company, TMS, worked to find the right staging and production equipment to allow the shows to move outdoors.
Once the roof was torn off the arena, heavy rains poured in
and further damaged the inside of the building. Computers,
heating, and air conditioning systems were damaged, along
with lots of equipment such as tables, draping, chairs, staging, and risers. The tornado and flying debris destroyed many
trees around the park. It was the first time a tornado had
touched down in Billings in 52 years. Several other area businesses were also damaged or destroyed.
Despite all the challenges, the outdoor shows were a hit. Jason Aldean, the first concert, ended up being the most popular with a crowd of 5,614.
Despite all this chaos, it was decided that the fair would go on
as planned, with some creative adjustments. It took an unbelievable amount of time and cooperation between various
groups of people to get the grounds ready in time for the fair.
Rented portable trailers were brought in to serve as temporary offices for the building and fair employees. It was decided that the livestock building would be rearranged to accommodate the 4-H exhibits and a huge tent would be rented for
the youth art. The concerts, which were already on-sale, were
to be moved outside to the grandstand.
Restorex, a disaster recovery company, came in a few days after the tornado and began working to remove debris including hazardous items like steel material hanging from power
Location: Fremont, NE
Event Date: August 25, 2010
Concert: LoCash Cowboys
Synopsis: This concert was part of a community celebration
event for opening week at Midland Lutheran College. It was
the first time the city or the college has put on a concert. Organizer Bill Ekeler was very pleased with the turn-out and rated the LoCash Cowboys’ performance as “a 10.” About 1,500
people attended the show. The college hopes to make the
concert an annual event.
LeAnn Rimes gives it her all during her show booked by The Lexington
Legends organization.
Marion County Fair
Location: Salem, OR
Event Dates: July 8-11, 2010
Concert: Lonestar on July 8
Synopsis: This county fair takes place on the Oregon State
Fairgrounds (the Oregon State Fair is an existing REG client).
The fair had not hosted a national touring artist in concert for
quite a few years, but decided to try it in 2010. The Lonestar
show drew more than 3,500 fans and proved to be a success.
“We learned a few things in a hurry about loading people
into our grandstand and how to pour beer faster,” explained
the MontanaFair’s marketing director, Sandra Hawke, when
describing the great crowd that showed up for Aldean’s
performance. “At 7 p.m. when the concert started, just under 5,000 fans were in the shade of the grandstand roof and
looking across at a panorama of the Yellowstone River and
the cliffs catching the late day sun,” she described, explaining how the outdoor setting also allowed people to enjoy the
natural beauty of the fairground’s surroundings.
Boy Scout Centennial Camp
The fair also hosted concerts by the Scorpions on August
14th and Hinder with Finger Eleven on August 15th.
The Rimrock Auto Arena at MetraPark is currently being rebuilt. Many improvements will be made to the building during the construction, including a better sound system, a new
box office, and a new design for the entrance. The work is
scheduled to be completed by April of 2011, in plenty of time
for next year’s fair.

GROUP
Small Talk with
Clint Black
Since his debut in 1989, Clint Black has achieved the status of “country
legend” and become a household name even among those who don’t
listen to country music. Black was a mainstay on the country charts
through the 1990s and into the 2000’s. He released 29 Top Ten Country
singles during that time. He also tried his hand at acting in major motion pictures, created his own record label, and more recently, became
a reality TV star on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice. After his family (his wife,
actress Lisa Hartman Black, and daughter, Lily, born in 2001), music remains his top priority. Romeo Entertainment Group’s Mindy Klein got a
chance to talk with Black by phone on a recent October afternoon. Here
is a snippet of their conversation.
Mindy: Can I ask where you are calling from today?
M: What activities do you enjoy most
outside of music?
Clint: I’m in Houston, seeing family. My
folks live in Houston and I did a fundraiser here on Sunday for the International Rett Syndrome Foundation. I’m
the chairperson for the Research to
Reality Campaign.
C: I’m a dad now and so most of my activities revolve around Lily! Becoming a
parent definitely changes your life. I’ve
got a studio around the house. I tinker
around in there. Music is still my hobby. I also enjoy golf…mountain biking.
I play guitar and video games when I’m
on the bus.
Clint was very excited to share that The
International Rett Syndrome Foundation just received a $250,000 grant from
the Pepsi Challenge. Also, Olympian
Scott Hamilton got The Pioneer Fund to
match any funds that were pledged up
to $1million. In addition, Clint’s concert
raised about $100,000 for this cause.
M: We haven’t seen or heard a lot
from you in the last two years. What
have you been up to?
C: Well, I’ve been busy. I’m working on
a relationship with a new record company, the first major label I’ve worked
with since I left RCA. I’m working with
a new producer, Frank Rogers. I’ve
written and recorded three songs with
him. There’s been no new album in five
years, so it’s exciting. I also did a movie,
Flicka 2, which came out in May. I’ve
also been doing some shows.
M: I know you write or co-write almost all of the music that you perform. I personally love your songs,
“Something That We Do” and “Better
Man.” What is your favorite song that
you’ve written?
C: “When I Said I Do” because of the
meaning of the song and who is singing it with me.
M: Name three artists that people
might be surprised to know are on
your iPod.
C: There’s nothing too surprising. Steely
Dan, which doesn’t surprise anyone
who has seen me live because I cover
one of their songs in my encore. Just
a lot of rock and country. Deep Purple
is another one. Led Zeppelin – I have
everything they’ve done. I also have
some of Lily’s music. She loves Taylor
Swift, The Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez.
M: How is your show different now
than 15 years ago?
C: It’s better. The musicianship and
presentation are better. We are more
laid back, but putting a lot more energy into it. There’s more electric guitar. Also, we are playing almost entirely
hits. Ten or 15 years ago, there were
new songs and we would play five or
six album cuts. Now we are really playing the hits. We also have more laughs
now. We are better at what we do so
we can focus on entertaining.
M: Do your wife and daughter travel
with you when you’re on the road?
C: They don’t travel with me, but will
meet me at some destinations. Then
we’re forced to sing our duet!
Clint went on to describe how is wife is
very humble and it can be hard to get her
up on stage.
M: Is there an item on your tour rider
that you just can’t live without?
C: Honey. I could bring it myself, but we
always make sure it’s there, just in case.
I drink honey water when I’m warming

up my voice and drink it on-stage.
M: Your part of the group dubbed
The Class of ’89 – along with folks
like Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Mary
Chapin Carpenter, and Travis Tritt.
Did you become friends with any of
these “classmates?”
C: We became acquaintances. It was
and is great to see each other backstage. But what happened is that we
all got so busy so fast, the social life
went away. There was no time to develop friendships. I did become friends
with some other artists over the years,
but even that’s tough, with our families, finding time to see each other.
M: Many of our clients are fairs and
festivals. Are there any fairs that you
attended as a kid or that you attend
now?
C: With my daughter, I do more of that
kind of stuff than I ever did. Mostly we
do local stuff in Nashville. Small stuff. I
took her to see The Wiggles, The Jonas
Brothers, and Miley Cyrus. But as far as
fairs, as a kid I attended the Strawberry
Festival in Pasadena, Texas. In the past
when we’ve played at fairs, I would
sometimes disguise myself and wander around. I remember the fair in Paso
Robles (California Mid State Fair), The
Minnesota State Fair, and Wisconsin
State Fair, in particular.
M: What is your favorite and least favorite part about performing at fairs
and festivals?
C: Well my favorite is the audience. The
environment is unique. Different parts
of the country have a different and
unique flavor. If you get lucky, you get
some good local foods from catering.
Like when we got fresh sweet corn one
summer in Iowa.
My least favorite…well, due to the locations of many of these events, the
bus gets dusty, dirty. But the bus driver
cares more about that than me! I have
to worry about eating too many funnel cakes! Of course, there can also be
some production challenges at some
of these shows, but that’s just part of it.
M: We’ve seen you on a few reality TV
shows, most notably Celebrity Apprentice. How do you feel about reality TV? Do you watch any reality TV
shows?
C: I’ve been offered some more (reality TV shows) and declined. I enjoyed
some parts, others not so much. We
watch Dancing with the Stars as a fam-
ily, and sometimes America’s Got Talent or American Idol. I don’t like how
reality shows pit people against each
other. I like things that lift people up.
I remain open to doing another reality
show, but not one based on conflict.
M: Do you have a timeline in mind for
the new album to be released?
C: With our current pace, the earliest is
next spring. It’s just about finding time.
With my shows and Frank’s schedule,
we are moving like a herd of turtles!
(laughs)
M: You’ve been a musician, an actor, a stand-up comedian, a reality
TV star…what would you like to try
next?
C: I really have done so many things I
never set out to do…written TV spots,
directed videos. Outside my day job,
I want to do some more acting. I am
writing a story with Lisa – a children’s
story, I think every parent thinks about
doing that. I see writing stories for TV
in the periphery. In another life, I’d try
living in the Russian Space Hotel. I always wanted to be an astronaut when
I was young! (laughs) I just like to take
myself out of my comfort zone and try
new challenges.
