Only fitting. Yesterday, our beautiful country celebrated its 250th anniversary. Of course, there were massive celebrations across all fifty states. In Washington, D.C., a record-setting 850,000 fireworks were set off across the nation’s capital. In New York, Macy’s celebrated its 50th annual celebration with performances from Post Malone, Noah Kahan and more. Here in Nashville,

The queen. Back in 2003, the Dolly Parton delivered performances of several different songs, including her hit “9 to 5,” at the A Capitol Fourth Independence Day celebration, which was a 90-minute live televised concert held on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. But her performance of her classic hit “Light

The country stars were at Madison Square Garden in New York City yesterday for the wedding between pop superstar Taylor Swift and her now-husband, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Permits filed with the city for street closures from July 2-4 reveal that the couple expect to host around 1,000 guests at the event,

More details about the separation. Just weeks after the country music world was rocked by one of the highest-profile divorces in recent memory, with Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo announcing their split after 10 years, Jon Pardi has just announced he will be divorcing his wife, Summer. Taking to Instagram in a joint post, Jon

More senseless internet outrage. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve at least been mindful of the fact that the World Cup has been here in the U.S. this year. Though I wouldn’t claim to be a soccer fan in any way, shape or form, it’s been pretty incredible to see as

After a number of complications, and a fair share of waiting, Charley Crockett’s Clovis record is back in the hands of the fans… and the work put forth should earn him a Grammy for Best Traditional Country Album. It was late in April when fans of Crockett were stunned to see an unexpected album drop

The Long Haired Country Boy is hitting the stage once again. With this Fourth of July marking America’s 250th birthday, cities all across the country are going all out and bringing out the biggest names for their massive Independence Day celebrations. But a concert from Charlie Daniels, who passed away in 2020, might be the

Probably expected that one to be the other way around. Jason Aldean and his wife, Brittany Aldean, have been married since 2015, a year after going public with their relationship following the country singer’s divorce in 2013. At the time of their marriage, Aldean was already one of the biggest artists in country music, having

These two go way back. If the reports are true, we’re just days away from the massive wedding between pop superstar Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. While the couple have remained tight-lipped about their plans, it’s. been reported in recent days that the two would tie the knot at Madison Square

Two icons. Dolly Parton and Paul McCartney are probably the two most recognizable living musicians on this planet, and they go way back, all the way back to the 70s, when they first met in Nashville when he met Dolly for the first time. In an interview with Far Out, he recalled meeting her back

There’s a good reason why Brandon Lake is always open to collaborating with artists outside of Christian music… and specifically in the country music space. With all of this talk about artists switching over to country (Beyoncé, Post Malone, etc.), not much has been said about Brandon Lake. I suppose Christian to country isn’t a

Even Kelli Finglass didn’t know about it… that’s impressive, to say the least. The hit Netflix show America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders is airing the third season on Netflix right now, and the show takes viewers from the first audition all the way through the end of NFL football season for the Cowboys, giving fans

One of the members of the Righteous Brothers has finally caught wind of Paul Cauthen’s “Unrighteous Brothers” side project. Chances are you are familiar with both the Righteous Brothers and the Unrighteous Brothers if you clicked on this story. If you aren’t, the Righteous Brothers are a vocal duo that formed in the 1960s and

Ella Langley evidently wasn’t available to sing “Don’t Mind If I Do” with Riley Green… so the country star went and got comedian Kevin James as a replacement. You never know who is gonna pop up on stage in Nashville. The beloved actor known for starring in comedy classic such as I Now Pronounce You Chuck

That was a pretty close call… Shania Twain is currently opening a run of shows for pop star London leg of his massive Together, Together stadium residency at Wembley Stadium, and they played two shows this weekend, on Friday and Saturday night. But on Friday night, she had a pretty revealing outfit on, which featured a

The final show of his legendary career. Alan Jackson will take the stage tonight for the final show of his career, the star-studded Last Call: One More For the Road – The Finale, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The concert is one of the hottest tickets of the year, and Nashville has been buzzing all week for

Alan Jackson will take the stage tonight for the final show of his career, the star-studded Last Call: One More For the Road – The Finale, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The concert is one of the hottest tickets of the year, and Nashville has been buzzing all week for one of the biggest concerts we’ve seen in

Disappointing… Whether we like it or not, it’s become increasingly clear that artificial intelligence — specifically when it comes to generative AI in music — is here to stay. Of course, this is hardly a dismissal of the very real issue of AI “artists” not only stealing both streams and intellectual property from actual, human

How some of these failed to go #1 is downright baffling. Throughout country music’s illustrious history, there have been many names who are up there in the greatest of all time (GOAT) conversation. From Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard to Dolly Parton, George Strait and Hank Williams, there have been plenty of worthy

Trouble in the deep blue… Last month, Ernest released what many (including us) are calling his career-best album Deep Blue. Featuring the island sounds reminiscent of Jimmy Buffett mixed with his traditional southern country, Ernest explained during an appearance on our Whiskey Riff Raff podcast that the album is a maturation of his debut project from 2019:
