Lisa Matassa Working to Put 'Long Island Country' on the Map

Facebook

Lisa Matassa says it's alright to call her a country newcomer, even though she's been entertaining for over 20 years. The singer began her career with two dance hits before turning to the music she grew up loving. Her new EP, 'Somebody's Baby,' is a mix of all her influences -- a style she's coined as "Long Island country."

Matassa tells Taste of Country that her style is a special blend of rock and modern country music. She spent the first part of her childhood on Long Island and returned as a teenager after a decade in Florida. "There was all open fields and farmland and horse farms and there weren't big shopping malls and stuff like that that you have now," she says of those in-between years, a time that she truly fell in love with southern rock, country music and the country lifestyle.

Mission complete! George Strait's 60 for 60 campaign was a success, with the singer's latest single 'Give It All We Got Tonight' hitting the top of the charts the same week as his 61st birthday. He becomes the first artist in any genre of music to place 60 songs at the top of the charts.

'Give It All We Got Tonight' is Strait's first single from his new 'Love Is Everything' album, released last Tuesday (May 14). It reached the top of the Mediabase charts as the most played song on country radio. The legend received considerable attention from fans and fellow artists during his lengthy 60 for 60 campaign.

Trace Adkins didn't show much emotion upon being named the winner of 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice,' but there's little doubt that those representing the American Red Cross were celebrating. By besting magician Penn Jillette, Adkins earned another $250,000 for the charity, bringing his total raised to over $1.5 million.

Sunday night's two-hour finale recapped the final ice cream challenge and included cameos by country stars like Billy Ray Cyrus and Thompson Square, 'American Idol' singer Taylor Hicks and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow presented a $300,000 donation to Adkins' team, accounting for more than half the money he raised on that night.

It's back. The goat that became famous during a remix of Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' has resurfaced, this time sabotaging a Hunter Hayes song as he sang it live. And Carrie Underwood was the mastermind behind it all -- the superstar pranked her Blown Away Tour opener during his set in Alberta, Canada on Saturday (May 18).

Hayes was performing when video of the goat appeared on the screens at each side of the stage. Two goats were shown, with the other being the same one featured with Swift's song earlier this year.

They're over a month early, but Chely Wright's twins are "thriving" after being delivered on Saturday (May 18) in New York City. Wright and wife Lauren Blitzer weren't expecting until July, but had previously said it was likely the singer would give birth early, as is often the case with twins.

Taylor Swift stole the show at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, winning eight awards and delivering one of the more creative and eye-catching performances of the night. The singer sang '22' surrounded by a rotating cast of dozens of backup dancers before accepting honors for Top Artist, Top Album and more.

Swift was nominated for 11 awards in all, but lost to Maroon 5, Justin Bieber and Psy in the Top 100 Artist, Top Social Artist and Top Streaming Song categories, respectively. While Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood were also nominated for awards, only Swift brought a trophy back to Nashville. She swept the country categories, including Top Country Artist, Top Country Album ('Red') and Top Country Song ('We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together').

Sunday night's stop on the Two Lanes of Freedom Tour was moving forward as usual when Tim McGraw spotted a fan in the first few rows who was struggling. Paula Whitten says she sat down after feeling faint, but collapsed when she stood back up.

That's when McGraw snapped into action. According to Whitten, he hopped off stage and handed her water. "He actually gave me a hot water at first," she told KICKS 101.5 in Atlanta. The singer then found some cold water and stayed with her. "He was talking to me and talking to the medics to try to get me up," she says.
