Julianne Hough made a name for herself on “Dancing With the Stars.”



College World Series opening concert features 2 country stars

Opening night concerts have been a tradition at the College World Series.

We've seen rock, pop and other styles, and this year we'll see two country stars.

Both performers started out on TV and, though they're just starting their careers, both are making names for themselves.

Some folks might know Julianne Hough better from her stints on “Dancing With The Stars,” where she took home the trophy two times, but Hough's country album debuted at No. 1 on the country charts.

She's pulled in country fans with songs such as “That Song in My Head” and “My Hallelujah Song.”

Long-haired country troubadour Bucky Covington was a finalist on the fifth season of “American Idol” and also had his first album debut at No. 1. Covington has since done well with songs such as “A Different World,” “It's Good to Be Us” and “I'll Walk.”
