Last week, Jesse Daniel gave us a little taste of his unreleased single “Little Devil” on our weekly Whiskey Riff Spotlight. The moving lyrics paint the picture of him struggling with addiction for a number of years, until he finally kicked that “little devil” away, but he incorporates some humor and a little bluegrass flavor

Eric Church was busy man last night. He made a surprise appearance at Morgan Wallen’s concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, performing “Quittin’ Time” and “Smoke A Little Smoke,” and as it turns out, he actually cut his spring break vacation short to be there. At one point, he told the crowd: “I came a long

Kane Brown‘s new single “Leave You Alone” finds him once again leaning into a portrait of himself as country music’s most committed lover. Fans of “Worship You,” “Good as You” and “Heaven” will appreciate the singer’s mood and melody. The first verse of “Leave You Alone” alludes to a disagreement between the singer and his lover, but there’s nothing

Breland fans have something extra to be thankful for today: The rising talent has shared a brand new collaboration with Thomas Rhett. “Praise the Lord” is a groovy, upbeat tribute to the simple things that make a country life worth living.

In 2018, singer-songwriter Ben Danaher released his debut album Still Feel Lucky to widespread critical acclaim.

For Allison de Groot and Tatiana Hargreaves, traditional stringband music isn’t about breaking boundaries, but using the music to resonate with the aspects of the past worth holding onto: community, solidarity, and family.
