Music

I’m not sure what I was expecting from MGK’s performance at CMA Fest, but this definitely wasn’t it. These days, it seems like everyone is trying to get into country music. From Lana Del Rey and Beyoncé, to Post Malone and Yung Gravy, pop and mainstream artists are running to country music to try and

Game recognize game. John Mayer is undoubtedly one of the most talented musicians of our era. Sure, the first thing you think of when you hear his name might be “Your Body Is a Wonderland.” But since his early days, the 46-year old has transformed into one of the world’s greatest guitar players, all while

Wyatt Flores is a man of a many covers. When he isn’t singing his own thoughtful, mature-beyond-his-years music, the 22-year-old is carefully selecting some of the best songs from all different genres to cover. Flores recently borrowed a song from the Turnpike Troubadours during a Red Rocks Trail Mix session, and has most famously covered

Of all the friendships in the history of country music, one of the best has to be that of Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline. Patsy met Loretta less than 2 years before her tragic death in a plane crash in 1963, but the two formed a tightknit bond almost immediately and shared some incredible times together. One famous story of Patsy

Less than 24 hours removed from an emphatic return to touring at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Robert Earl Keen, with his guitar strapped over his shoulder, sank into the cushions of a well-worn leather couch in the green room of Charlotte, North Carolina’s Neighborhood Theatre.  Unfazed by the increasingly loud chatter of an eager

Posty making the most of his time at CMA Fest. Of course Post Malone has been a regular fixture around country music lately. From performing at the CMA and ACM Awards to finally announcing his first full-length country album coming this year, it’s been really cool to see how much he’s seemed to embrace country

Taking the high road. Today, Koe Wetzel released the fourth single from his forthcoming album 9 Lives called “High Road,” which features guest vocals from Columbia labelmate Jessie Murph. Written by Koe along with Amy Allen, Carrie Karpinen and producer Gabe Simon, the song finds Koe taking the “high road” both literally and metaphorically, as

I can feel a dive down the Johnny Cash rabbit hole starting again (and it’s not because I just got a puppy named Cash). There’s few artists in country music that have had the impact of The Man In Black. Sure, there’s no shortage that have made a lasting mark on the genre itself, but how many

Was Wyatt Flores even born when this song came out? It’s CMA Fest week here in Nashville, and while the official festivities don’t kick off until tomorrow, there have already been plenty of shows this week for people who got to town early. Tonight, Whiskey Jam held their CAA takeover at the Skydeck at 5th

It’s that time of year again. CMA Fest is here, and for the next four days hundreds of artists and hundreds of thousands of fans will pack into downtown Nashville for non-stop music – and non-stop drinking. It’s a unique experience that’s unlike any other festival, so a lot of times fans come to CMA

I’m sure the city council won’t have a problem with this. Morgan Wallen recently drew the ire of the Metro Nashville City Council, which denied a permit for a sign on his new downtown bar after several council members criticized the country music superstar for his high-profile controversies. In discussing whether or not to allow

Kinda like this version better than the original, honestly. Tim McGraw released his hit song “It’s Your Love” as the lead single from his 1997 album Everywhere. But leave it to Hot Country Knights to put their own spin on it. The Knights showed up at a Dierks Bentley show (as they often do for some

Seems ironic that you’d be expected to play cover songs when you move to Nashville to make a career as a songwriter, no? That’s the way it goes for many of the aspiring artists who move to Music City to chase their dreams. The honky tonks of Broadway are filled with musicians who hope to

For the dads. Luke Combs is putting out a tearjerker of a song this Thursday, announcing on Instagram this evening that “The Man He Sees in Me” will be out everywhere on June 6th at 4PM ET. It’s an absolutely beautiful tune about his love for his sons and how he hopes to be the

News broke yesterday that Koe Wetzel’s business partners had purchased land for a potential Riot Room in Nashville, but Koe is saying that’s not the case. The Nashville Business Journal reported that Koe Wetzel and his business partners for Riot Room had purchased the property from the former owners of Dogwood. Dogwood closed its doors

Would it be justified to start a petition to change our national anthem to “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK ALAN. (Sorry, I had to). Personally, I think that sounds like a great idea, and I’m celebrating today because on this date in 2003 the world-altering duet

The third location of Koe Wetzel’s Riot Room has been scouted. While the bar has not yet officially announced that it is expanding to Midtown in Nashville, Tennessee, The Nashville Business Journal reported that Koe Wetzel’s Riot Room will occupy the former Dogwood location in Midtown. Dogwood closed its doors on May 1st for good after

JD Clayton is one of the latest artists to be featured on OurVinyl TV’s OurVinyl Sessions, and you’ve gotta check it out. Featuring four tunes from different eras of his career, Clayton’s OurVinyl Sessions EP gets rolling with a fresh rendition of his timeless hit “Brown Haired Blue Eyed Baby” that was originally released as a

Let’s try this again. It’s been a bumpy road for Morgan Wallen‘s upcoming Nashville bar, Morgan Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen. The bar, located just off Broadway beside the historic Ryman Auditorium, was originally scheduled to open over Memorial Day weekend. But delays pushed the grand opening back and left fans waiting for word

Gotta get that merch out there. Chances are you’ve already heard, but in case you’re just waking up from a coma in the past 24 hours, former President Donald Trump was found guilty in New York City yesterday on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to alleged hush money payments made to adult film
