Tracy Lawrence "Find Out Who Your Friends Are"

One of my favorite memories of Tracy visiting the Hudson Valley was when he and his band played the Ulster County Fair. He invited a group of us to play softball with him and we had a great time. No I don;t remember who won I just remember it was great fun.

Tracy will perform at the 3rd Annual Taste of Country Music Festival next weekend. He is among 17 great country artists that will rock Hunter Mountain June 12, 13 and 14.
