NEW YORK (AP) – Peanuts, Cracker Jack – and Jason Aldean? That will be on the menu for fans in several major league ballparks later this year. The country star is teaming up with Major League Baseball to do a 50-date tour that will see him play at several ballparks. Among the venues on the schedule will be Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, as well as the stadiums in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. It’s part of a tour that will also see Aldean play arenas. But he’s most excited about being on the same field that big-league baseball players play. He once played Fenway Park in Boston and recalls that stepping out onto the field there was one of his fondest memories.

MILLIGAN, Neb. (AP) – Usually the town of Milligan, Nebraska is home to just over 200 people. But this past Saturday wasn’t a usual one – because it hosted a free country music concert by Lee Brice. And that swelled the town’s population to about 5,000 for the night. Brice did about 10 songs – and the performance was followed by a fireworks display. Pepsi staged the event to promote the Super Bowl halftime show it’s sponsoring. It chose Milligan because the soda maker wanted a location halfway between New York City and Los Angeles.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) – Before you hear it, sing along with it, hum it or dance to it, someone has to come up with the idea and set it to music. That’s the idea behind an event set for Grammy week – and it will feature performances from artists like Bonnie Raitt and Kris Kristofferson. They will take part in the event “A Star Is Born” – also known as the Grammy Foundation Legacy Concert. Aside from Raitt and Kristofferson, performers will include Jimmy Webb, Steve Cropper and Paul Wilson – as well as current Grammy nominees Sklar Gray and John Rzeznik.

HARRODSBURG, Kentucky (AP) – A Kentucky restaurant run by Eddie Montgomery is being sold off. The auction sale of Eddie Montgomery’s Steakhouse in Harrodsburg is set for January – and the proceeds will go toward wiping out $12.7 million in defaulted loans. Central Bank & Trust of Lexington won a judgment against the eatery, forcing the sell-off. Montgomery is half of the country music duo Montgomery Gentry, which had a string of hits between 1999 and 2008. The restaurant opened in late 2009 but closed in early May.
