Nashville, TN (May 16, 2013) -- Country star Lisa Matassa has been added to the lineup at the first TASTE OF COUNTRY Festival on the Late Night Show. The high-energy singer/songwriter and her band will perform on The Guts & Glory Stage Presented By Ram Saturday, June 15 from 11:45 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.
Matassa is thrilled to join the launch of the ONLY multi-day Country music festival in the Northeast. Hunter Mountain is located just two hours outside New York City in the northern part of the state's beautiful Catskill Mountains. Top Tier acts slated to kick off the event are Willie Nelson, Trace Adkins, Billy Currington, Hunter Hayes, Joe Nichols, and more.
Lisa is a natural fit in the lineup as she is resonating with fans across the globe. YouTube views of her "Somebody's Baby" video have just topped four million. She boasts over 609,000 Twitter followers, and she has amassed over 196,000 Facebook fans. The track has gone Top 40 on both the Billboard Indicator and Music Row charts and is the first single from Lisa's enhanced EP of the same name. "It's almost unreal," says Lisa. "It's a meaningful song to me, and I have to believe that it's impacting others in a similar way."
