The Chick-fil-A of honky tonks? Ever since Garth Brooks announced his new Nashville bar, Friends In Low Places, he’s described his vision of having a world-class honky tonk: “I want the Chick-fil-a of honky tonks. I want a place you go in where you feel good, you feel safe. Everybody’s got good manners. I’m hoping

Another one of country music’s blonde bombshells embracing tradition. Nothing screams the Land Down Under like drinking a (probably lukewarm) beer from a cowboy boot. Ah yes, the age-old Australian tradition of shoeys. It has to be a right of passage for musicians to do a shoey during their first trip to Australia. And Lainey

New music from the Okie phenom. After taking a short break from touring to prioritize his mental health, Wyatt Flores is back in the spotlight. Making his return to the stage, fans went wild as he continued to sell out show after show and grow his massive following. In light of his return to the

After more than 10 years, Kip Moore is leaving his longtime label MCA Records. The Georgia native put out five albums with his former label, including Up All Night (2012), Wild Ones (2015), Slowheart (2017), Wild World (2019) and most recently Damn Love (2023), but in a post on Instagram earlier, he shared that they

This is going to be a can’t-miss show for Chief fans. Last week, Eric Church announced the opening date for his Nashville bar, Chief’s, along with a 19-show residency in the venue’s two-story, 350-seat theater, the Neon Steeple. The To Beat the Devil residency kicks off on April 5, and will run through June. But ahead of

As Antonio Brown continues grinding away to build his latest empire, the fledgling sports network CTESPN, he’s providing the type of cutting-edge insight most analysts could only dream of. Far removed from his frequent “Cracker of the Day” segment, or any other related shenanigans, AB served up the apropos insult of all insults to New

March 7 marked what would have been the 80th birthday of one of the greatest songwriters of all time, the late Townes Van Zandt. If that name doesn’t ring a bell to you, perhaps at least the song “Pancho and Lefty” does, a Townes Van Zandt original that reached the top spot on the country

Kelly Clarkson, once again, knocked a cover out of the ballpark. THIS is how you cover Chris Stapleton. Covering a song from the Kentucky native is no easy task, but Kelly Clarkson took the bull by the horns and came out of the shoot swinging. In a recent Kellyoke segment, Clarkson tackled the fan favorite

Looks like this one won’t be heading to trial. In case you’ve forgotten, a lawsuit was filed against Jimmie Allen last year in the federal court in Tennessee by a woman, identified only as Jane Doe, who used to be a member of Allen’s management team at Wide Open Music. The woman claims that, while

Meet evander, a versatile singer-songwriter, producer, and guitarist whose music explores the intricacies of young adulthood. Inspired by his own battles with heartbreak, addiction, anxiety, and depression, evander infuses his music with raw emotions, fusing together elements of pop, Hip Hop, and R&B. His newest release, “honest.,” stands as a testament to his rising stature

If the great Willie Nelson says this story is true, I’m gonna take his word for it. I mean, we’ve heard some crazy stuff from the country music legend before, like wild tale of how he earned his nickname “Shotgun Willie,” or the tale of his 9-hour sex marathon, so it really isn’t that much

The world is a better place when there’s new music from Arlo McKinley in it. And fortunately, for the first time since his spectacular record This Mess We’re In was released in summer 2022, we’ve got a new single. Titled “Watching Vermont,” McKinley’s latest single is a slow, acoustically driven track that illuminates McKinley’s heartfelt

He’s just Chris. Chris Stapleton just announced on Instagram that he will be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on April 13th, and will likely be singing his recent #1 single “White Horse” and his current radio single, “Think I’m In Love With You.” He will appear alongside host Ryan Gosling, who recently played

Why are you blushing, Alan? Of course this isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Alan Jackson squirm. Back in the ’90s, the country star was pranked by Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase for their show on The Nashville Network (TNN) when the hosts made him believe that he would be doing a nude scene

When you think of Eric Church, you probably envision him and his signature look that’s usually brought together by a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. He even has a song titled “Through My Ray-Bans.” It’s part of the “Chief’s” persona now, thought it wasn’t always meant to be. Country fans might think that some marketing executive

Cowboy Carter is coming soon. After all of this talk of Beyoncé going country, it looks like it’s really happening as she announced that Act II of Renaissance, the album she teased during a recent Super Bowl Commercial, will be titled Act II – Cowboy Carter. She shared what is seemingly the album cover, along

It’s hard out here for a Carolina Panthers fan… As a Chicago Bears fan myself, I’ve experienced my own fair share of shattered dreams and endless torture, but things are finally looking up (which means I’m inevitably just setting myself up for more disappointment). But part of that unrealistic optimism is owed to the Carolina

Call me old fashioned, but I agree wholeheartedly with Koe Wetzel here. The Texas rocker just released his first new song in over a year this past Friday, with “Damn Near Normal” likely being the lead single to a forthcoming (unofficially announced) album sometime in 2024. Written by Wetzel alongside Gabe Simon, Amy Allen, Carrie

Mark Mackay is earning a reputation as one of the busiest young artists emerging from the pack of comers in Country music. His latest single, “Dreaming in Color,” is shaking up the industry with its powerful and highly anticipated release. Igniting Stages Across the Nation From Nashville to Colorado, Mackay has been electrifying audiences with
