Chris Stapleton is playing in Kentucky for a great reason…
There’s been a bump in country sales…

Chris Stapleton will headline A Concert for Kentucky to benefit his Outlaw State of Kind Hometown Fund. 
The show at the University of Kentucky’s Kroger Field in Lexington on April 25th will also feature Willie Nelson and Family, Sheryl Crow and more.
Outlaw State of Kind Hometown Fund supports local and national organizations directly impacting Kentucky, with initial grants focusing on music and arts education.

Country stars alive and not whose stories are told in the Ken Burns Country Music series on PBS have experienced a spike in sales of their music.
Kathy Mattea, one of the many who has benefited from the series, recently said, “I’d been thinking to myself that this documentary was going to be great for country music, but I never thought about it in a personal way. Now I’m just a giggly little school girl. I’m 60 years old. To wake up with a couple things in the Top 40 is pretty funny.”
Other artists whose music has seen a sales bump from the documentary include Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris.

Candy corn is now the least popular Halloween candy in America. I concur- kinda. By itself I believe it belongs in the trash.

However; if you add peanuts to the candy corn mix it changes the game entirely. It tastes like a Pay Day meets a Butterfinger. It. Is. Delicious.

I was at a party recently and I brought the candy corn/peanut mix and I thought to myself- why not add chocolate chips to the bowl. My thinking was that then it would really taste like a Butterfinger. I was so right. Add the chocolate was another game changer! This party mix was a total hit and now I am hooked.

I still stand by the notion that candy corn by itself belongs in the trash. It is waxy and too sweet. You add the peanuts and chocolate chips. Game. On!
