So do you have a busy weekend coming up? See if it's as busy as Frankie Ballard. Friday begins with the release of his new album El Rio which has his new song, "It All Started with a Beer."

Then he'll be kicking off the Friday night concert at the CMA Music Festival with "The Star Spangled Banner." He say's it'll be an electric guitar version much like Jimi Hendrix did at Woodstock in the 60's.

He'll also be joining Sam Alex and Taste of Country Nights on the Hawk on Friday .

On Saturday, he'll make the trip to Hunter Mountain for the 4th Annual Taste of Country Music Festival. He may feel like he's in a Time Warp because he'll be taking the stage before the  Kenny Chesney show. That's how he began his career in 2008.

Sunday, he'll be traveling to New York City and will perform on Live! with Kelly on Monday and an appearance on NBC's Today show on Tuesday.

WHEW!!! By the way, you can still get tickets to party and celebrate his new album with him on Saturday at Hunter Mountain. Get your tickets and camping packages below.
