Oh Toby Keith is back alright. The Big Dog Daddy has been battling stomach cancer for more than a year, revealing the diagnosis last June while canceling the rest of his scheduled 2022 shows. And over the past year, the country star has largely remained out of the public eye. But you can’t keep a

Today marks three years since the passing of legend Charlie Daniels. The iconic singer, songwriter, and musician was not only a pioneer of the genre but also an inspiration and friend to many of his country music colleagues. Born in North Carolina, Daniels started his music career playing bluegrass music with the Misty Mountain Boys before

Lainey Wilson is a Stanley Cup girlie. Wilson took to social today to share that she has teamed up with the popular travel mug company to create a limited edition Stanley Brand x Lainey Wilson Quencher H2.0 Tumbler. The 40 oz travel mug is inspired by her song “Watermelon Moonshine,” featuring a pink and green

Dolly Parton is not interested in becoming a hologram. According to U.K. publication The Independent, during a London press conference recently, Dolly says she’s not interested in any sort hologram version of herself ever being used for a show or anything else one day. She said the reason is plain and simple; she doesn’t want

Putting it in terms that country fans understand. It’s been quite the rollercoaster of a day for the annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, a staple of the Fourth of July holiday (and quite honestly, one of the most American events you could ever hope for). The annual men’s hot dog eating contest was

If you had to pick a country music singer to throw a party every year on the 4th of July, Willie Nelson is a pretty safe choice. You know Willie likes to have a good time, which is what has led to the success and longevity of his 4th of July Picnic. The first ever

A legend on the stage, and now his final performance is coming to the silver screen. Gary Rossington, the legendary guitar player and founding member of the greatest southern rock band of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd, passed away back in March at the age of 71. Rossington was the last remaining member of the original

Chills. The other week when our team was in Filer, Idaho, for Gordy’s HWY 30 Fest, we had a special treat from Shane Smith. The frontman for Shane Smith & the Saints popped into the official Whiskey Riff afterparty and even got up on stage to sing a few tunes. It was pure magic. While

Carrie Underwood’s mom sounds like a riot. As Carrie wraps up her time in Las Vegas for her Reflection residency at the Resorts World Theatre until she returns for more shows in September, she seemingly commemorated the occasion in a unique way with her family. Carrie shared a carousel of photos on Instagram earlier, saying that

Country music legend Shania Twain has been at it for quite some time, so she’s not going to let a small on-stage fall stop her from delivering her hits to her massive fanbase. The 5-time-Grammy-winner is currently on her Queen of Me Tour, and stopped by Chicago last night to bring fans in the Windy

And an absolute HITTER came on the shuffle today. From Alan’s 2012 Thirty Miles West record, “Long Way To Go” was the lead single from the album, while it only peaked at number 24 on the charts, it’s quintessential Alan Jackson. “I got a bug in my margaritaSeems bad luck won’t leave me aloneI’ve got a woman

The Big Dog Daddy is BACK. Toby Keith has been battling stomach cancer for more than a year, revealing the diagnosis last June before canceling the rest of his scheduled 2022 shows. Since then, the country star has largely remained out of the public eye in the year, though in November he did sit down

If Koe Wetzel was buying, I can only imagine how much the crowd in Sioux Falls, South Dakota drank last night… After a pretty last-minute decision to play a fully-acoustic set because his drummer got stuck in Chicago, Koe made it up to fans at his concert at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center big-time by

I have been waiting for new music from The Steel Woods since their 2021 album release. Given they just released their 2023 fall tour dates, I had speculation we were close to an announcement, and the day has finally come. Today the southern rock band announced their fourth studio album, On Your Time, slated for an October

This is pure gold. We have already noted how Alabama is making a case for producing some of the best country music in the game right now, and someone off that list that I have been jammin’ to non-stop is Taylor Hunnicutt. This girl has got IT. From the voice to the lyrics to the

When it comes to female country artists, few can be talked about with more respect than Tammy Wynette. She and Loretta Lynn are credited with really bringing the female perspective to a genre that was long dominated by men (and still is to some extent), with songs like “Stand By Your Man,” “Your Good Girl’s

Clearly, music runs in the family. After returning from HWY30 Fest, I have found myself in a rabbit hole of Koe Wetzel videos from the past and present. Watching how his stage presence has changed, how his shows have evolved, and just enjoying Koe’s music. As I was in the thick of watching some of

There’s been no shortage of Ticketmaster coverage over the past few months, spurred by the now infamous Taylor Swift ticketing fiasco. But quite frankly, most of that coverage has been sparse on details, relying on anecdotal stories from fans who waited in queue for hours, paid an insane amount for tickets, or were booted before

It would be hard to find someone that hasn’t heard this country classic. Everyone loves the song’s catchy hook of “I’ve been everywhere man,” and everyone loves to mumble their way through all of the locations, pretending to know the lyrics. It happens like clockwork, every time the song plays. “I’ve Been Everywhere” was originally

If you haven’t gotten out to see a 49 Winchester live show yet, now is the time. They just announced nine new headlining fall 2023 tour dates, which includes stops all over the South in Alabama, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, so if you’re anywhere in the area, do yourself a massive favor and
