While most fans haven’t seen Ronnie Dunn perform since the duo Brooks & Dunn split a couple of years ago, we knew what was in store for the crowd at Chili Cookoff! Dunn got the fans going with a mix of music from his solo album as well as some of Brooks &Dunn’s biggest hits.  When he broke into the chorus from “Nothin’ ‘Bout You” the crowd went crazy!

Luke Bryan took the stage at 99.9 KISS Country’s 2013 Chili Cookoff to a sold out crowd!  Even though Luke apologized, stating he didn’t feel his voice was “at it’s best,” the fans didn’t seem to think the singer was anything less than great!
