We’re a few months removed from Elle King’s drunken performance at the Grand Ole Opry, which resulted a fury of backlash since the performance was part of a Grand Ole Opry Tribute to Dolly Parton. The drunken outburst also came right after the singer appeared on Nashville’s New Year’s Eve Bash and seemed to have

It’s an all-too familiar refrain these days when independent country artists sign with a major label: “Oh, they sold out.” In this era of streaming, as well as platforms like YouTube and TikTok, there are more ways than ever to find new music.

After a brief hiatus to prioritize self care and mental health, Wyatt Flores is back, and with new music.

Are we finally going to get an opening date? Back in 2021, Eric Church announced that he was working on a new bar in downtown Nashville called Chief’s. The new venue will be located in the heart of downtown Broadway, among many bars named after his fellow country artists. But Church’s sounds like it’s going

The road to stardom is not a straight path. At least not for most artists that make it. If it was, you’d see a lot more people getting in line trying to make it big. Instead, only the toughest and most persistent people make their dreams come true, often because they have to live through
