2025/12/18

Ah, the holidays. A time of year filled with merriment, empty calories and family bonding…over your (college age) child’s dirty laundry…not the metaphorical kind. Speaking on this very specific topic, Chris Young fully admits he will wear a pair of jeans three, four, even five times before washing them. While some folks might find that extreme, in my experience, it is honest-to-goodness typical “guy” behavior. Now, before you say "but,

Once again, "Nashville’s Big Bash Live" will attract tens of thousands of revelers to Bicentennial Capitol State Park for high-voltage performances from Bailey Zimmerman, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, Rascal

2025/12/16

Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire and Jelly Roll all agree rodeo and country music go together like peas and carrots or straight pipes on diesel trucks. In fact, I can think of a number of champions who traded in their felt numbers and spurs to pursue an entirely different type of life on the road with guitar and microphone. Having said that, the three country music icons realized an opportunity for Nashville to host a major event, and, together, cofounded the Music City Rodeo. The

Over the weekend, artists, across several disciplines, gathered in the oval office where they were recognized as Kennedy Center Honorees. During a speech preceding the medallion ceremony, the President called the class of 2025 "icons" that are the very best in arts and culture who have uplifted, inspired and unified millions. First in line to receive his medallion was George Strait, who was also complimented on his "good hair" by the Commander in Chief after removing his

Ever since Zach Top hit the music scene, there has been a lot of speculation about his relatives. For example, one popular rumor claims that his dad is Alan Jackson. Naturally, the internet has offered several interesting theories on this topic (which Top has neither confirmed nor denied), but sadly, they are based on conjecture rather than facts. That being said, there is a familial tie that can be proven...well, sort of. You see, Zach Top is from Washington state, and so is

"The Anthology, Part VI: The Comeback, The Next Five Years," takes fans behind the scenes to explore the planning and execution of Brooks' Dive Bar Tour, Stadium Tour, drive-in concert series and essentially "wraps up" this chapter of his career.

Tracy Lawrencewas gearing up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of hisMission: Possible Turkey Fry and Concert. However, he and his team were left devastated when one of the refrigerated trucks holding 650 frozen turkeys broke down, causing them to spoil. Needless to say, it was a huge setback and almost no time to recover. Thankfully, all was not lost and a miracle was in the works. Lawrence sent out an "SOS" on social media and the response was swift and bountiful. Clint

2025/12/01

There is no denying Cody Johnson is tough as nails. Before hitting it big and country music, Johnson was a professional bull rider and prison guard. However, even those experiences were not enough to prepare him for the physical and mental toll of a severely perforated eardrum. The "Till You Can’t" singer admits the recovery from emergency eardrum surgery has been excruciating. Compounded by the maddening inability hear correctly made Cody a dull and bristly boy. Despite

No doubt Ella Langley is making good money. While saving earnings are important, Langley hilariously admitted spending it is a lot more fun. I feel like this is a super relatable situation. How many artists do we know that went from one jar of peanut butter in the fridge to superstardom practically overnight? Fortunately, the "Choosing Texas" singer made a responsible choice and invested in a house. There is also her Gibson acoustic-electric "dealer select" guitar that averages

Last week, Miranda Lambert celebrated her birthday and her husband, Brendan, got her a unique gift. Apparently, the Texas native is a big fan of dinosaurs, and so her husband was able to procure a life-size metal dinosaur statue. Although Lambert calls it a T-Rex, I would say it looks more like a velociraptor, but that is neither here nor there. The fact is I am sure Miranda Lambert has everything and so her husband, choosing this gift, goes to show he truly understands her

Johnson said on October 21, at about 2:30 in the morning, miss Brandi informed him that her water just broke. While racing to the hospital, the Texas native learned that his wife's diesel truck tops out at 125 mph. Johnson added that mama

Artificial intelligence is all around us, just like the sci-fi movies predicted. However, AI has moved far beyond things like Alexa and Siri, with creators producing chart-topping AI-generated songs under the guise of a band or singer, who are as equally artificial as the music. Recently, one of these characters called Breaking Rust made history with the song "Walk My Walk," reaching No. 1 on Billboard's country digital songs sales chart. Naturally, the song's very existence

2025/11/13

Typically, most folks do not consider music a “fallback” career. However, a surprisingly high number of (mainly male) country artists casually landed in Nashville after their professional sports dreams evaporated. For instance, George Birge and Jake Owen both played championship level golf in college with plans to go pro before changing trajectory. While being naturally competitive and equipped with high levels of confidence definitely helped each artist build their

This week, America pauses to honor our veterans. Originally observed to commemorate the end of World War I, November 11 officially changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in 1954 to recognize all American veterans. As you know, patriotism runs deep country music. Therefore, in a way, it is not surprising to hear that some of country's biggest stars such as Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Jamey Johnson, George Strait, James Otto and George Jones all served in

This week, Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are celebrating 20 years of marriage (which in the entertainment industry is more like 100 years). While speaking at an event, Miss Trisha admits being present is one of the most important foundations of a relationship. Drawing from her personal experience, Yearwood declared marriage isn’t going to work if the couple are never together. That is why she made the bold decision to step back from the spotlight for a quieter life in

American author, (and let’s be real, the great grandpappy of the Outlaw Country writing style) Mark Twain, famously said, "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn’t." A shining real world example of that quote can be found in the creation of Jake Owens' latest project "Dreams to Dreams." Owens explains he was feeling very lost after severing ties with his record label. The Florida native leaned into
