Nobody works harder than American Aquarium’s BJ Barham. The frontman of the Raleigh, NC based alt-country outfit, Barham has been chipping away at his career and honing his craft as a fiercely independent artist for nearly two decades now, and has built a unique brand of country music through his high energy live shows, unabashedly

The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially here. For the next couple of weeks, the world’s greatest athletes will all compete against one another with bronze, silver, and gold medals on the line. Though the competition will be fierce, the games themselves will be a symbol of world unity. And what says “bring the world together”

Nashville has changed quite a bit over the years, and Benjamin Tod has been on the front lines of it all. When he began busking on the streets of Lower Broadway as a teenager, the sound, culture, and people that called Nashville home were quite bit different than they are now, and while the new

Meg McRee has been on a tear with the covers lately, and trust me, you don’t want to miss out on it. An up and coming artist out of Nashville who needs to be on your radar, McRee has gained a reputation as one of the scene’s most underrated songwriters. Well respected by her peers,

The public battle over their bitter divorce rolls on. Billy Ray Cyrus is currently locked in a contentious divorce from his now-estranged wife, Australian singer Firerose. And while they handle things in court, it seems that both parties are more than happy to leak things to the media to allow the battle to play out

Charles Wesley Godwin rocking the late night stage. I don’t know about you all, but I’m always here for any CWG performance I can get. The West Virginia native certainly knows how to put on a show, and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert audience found that out on Monday night. The rising country star

This one will get the boots scootin’. It’s been a few months since we’ve gotten new music from Justin Moore (one of the most underrated country artists in the business, but more on that later…stay tuned). Justin dropped his latest single, the sentimental “This Is My Dirt,” towards the end of last year. But now

Doing the Lord’s work. How’s that old joke go? “How do you know somebody’s a vegetarian? Wait 5 minutes and they’ll tell you.” Now obviously I have nothing against vegetarians. Do I think they’re missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures? Absolutely. There’s nothing better than a perfectly-cooked steak. And no plant in the

ML10 coming soon? This week, fans have been receiving postcards from Miranda Lambert that seemingly feature names of the new songs that will be included on her forthcoming, unofficially announced album. And Miranda herself shared this cryptic video on social media, saying that she’s “heading into a big week,” which definitely hints at a pending

Calling out the hypocrisy. Of course by now the history between Maren Morris and Brittany Aldean, the wife of country singer Jason Aldean, has been well documented. In case you need a quick refresher, Brittany shared a video of herself putting on makeup with the caption: “I’d really like to thank my parents for not

Making light of the situation. Last night, during the Faster Horses music festival, Lainey Wilson had a major wardrobe malfunction on stage. She went full Spongebob and ripped her pants. Wilson is an energy machine when she performs, running around on stage, engaging with her fans, dancing to her songs, and putting on a show.

The one and only Willie Nelson… Country music icon, marijuana enthusiast, living legend… the vault of incredible Willie Nelson stories is as deep as it as wide. I’d just love to sit down with Shotgun Willie for a while and hear him tell these stories face to face… they’re just insane. We’ve heard about the

Bell bottom country fail… During Lainey Wilson’s headlining performance at Brooklyn Michigan’s Faster Horses Festival, she endured a bit of a wardrobe malfunction, and handled it as only Lainey Wilson can… with a laugh. After splitting her pants wide open, Lainey ducked behind stage, quickly changed, and then came back out and addressed the crowd.

It’s unquestionable that the influence of Johnny Cash has not only had a profound effect on country artists, but artists from just about any genre imaginable. When you have a songwriter who is able to tell stories so compelling like Cash, and have the commanding persona and presence to match, it’s much more likely that

Two of the smoothest voices in country music. Canada meets Texas with this traditional honky tonk country twanger. “Do It Anyways” is a nod to old-school traditions, transporting listeners back to the ’90s for the classic feel of the melody and lyrics. Jade Eagleson is bringing his thick twang south of the Canadian border, shaking

Honoring a real-life hero. Of course while everybody was thankful that former President Donald Trump was able to survive the cowardly assassination attempt last weekend, the shooting tragically took the life of 50-year old Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief from Butler Township, Pennsylvania. Comperatore’s daughter posted a heartbreaking tribute to her father the day

Any publicity is good publicity, right? While Ingrid Andress is presumably in rehab, her music is being listened to now more than ever before. The only explanation, as strange as it may sound, is that the negative attention she received when she botched her national anthem performance at the MLB Home Run Derby has spun

Hanging out with the pres. Jason Aldean is one of the most outspoken supporters of Donald Trump in country music. The two have spent time together in the past, with Trump even once introducing Aldean at a New Years Eve party as “number one in the world.” Let’s take a look back at that introduction

An all-time classic. On this day in 1982, Willie Nelson was at the top of the country albums chart with his 27th studio album Always On My Mind. The record ultimately became the Billboard #1 country album of the year, spent 22 weeks at the top of the charts, and stayed for a total of 253
