Carrie Underwood has opened up about her personal life, specifically whether or not she would encourage her young sons Isaiah and Jacob to audition for a show such as "American Idol." While Underwood believes both of our sons are naturally talented singers, even pointing out how Isaiah is a mini her in so many ways, she is certainly not eager to become a stage mom. The season four "American Idol" winner admits neither of our sons are ready for the stage. Furthermore, she would

When Sam Hunt burst onto the country music scene, he was primed and marketed as the next big thing. That said, he has certainly proved himself as a recording artist and performer over the last decade. Even though he has charted eleven number one songs, Hunt has only released two studio albums since signing with MCA Nashville. Even by today’s standards – with most country albums averaging 15 to 30 songs that an artist can promote for about two years – two albums

Y’all, it has happened – the reunion we have been wishing, hoping, thinking and praying for since August 31, 2022. Just a few days ago, Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard took the stage together in Nashville for a live performance! The reason for the band getting back together had to do with their good friend Jason Aldean, who was the guest of honor at a celebration of the 49-year-old, Georgia boy's decadeslong career and catalog of hits. As it turns out, Brian Kelley,

Spring is an enchanting time, and honestly, a second chance at a new beginning. Now, technically, the spring equinox does not occur until Friday, March 20, but it is never too early for "Blue Skies" and "Starting Over." In fact, you can begin stirring up those good vibes with the playlist of brand new music from our favorite country artist. Fresh off the acetate press, Luke Combs dropped a new single called "I Ain’t No Cowboy." Tucker Wetmore sings about summer love in

Since the dawn of creative expression, artists have been the target of some gnarly flying projectiles. Over the centuries, this behavior has been dubbed fan-mania, which is very different from the run-of-the-mill "boo fest," where a disgruntled audience would throw rotting vegetables (and other naturally occurring organic material) at performers. Some of the earliest documentedfan-maniadates back to the 1840s with pianist Franz Liszt, whose audience would toss flowers and tokens

One of my all-time favorite movies is called "The Rose," starring Bette Midler, from 1979. Inspired and loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin, Midler's character Mary Rose is a popular yet self-destructive rock star who struggles to cope with the demands of her high-profile occupation. Throughout the story, Mary Rose pleads desperately for a break that she never receives and, unfortunately, ends in tragedy. While this has been an undeniable challenge in the music business,

In the music world, a concept album or song typically breaks from the cookie cutter commercial structure, allowing an artist more creative freedom. Oftentimes an artist will assume a character for alter ego such as Chris Gaines, Earl Dibbles Junior or Darla McFarland. That said, one could argue that nearly all of Sturgill Simpson‘s work could be considered concept art. The Kentucky native's latest alter ego, Johnny Blue Skies, has already put out an 8-song LP called

Additionally, Lainey Wilson delivered a heartfelt speech where she called Jelly Roll a true friend and mentor, followed by the presentation of the Nashville native's official membership trophy.

Not only is Tucker Wetmore musically talented, the 26-year-old is also properly fit and not afraid to shake his moneymaker on and off the stage. While there is no shortage of thirst trap pictures on the "Wind Up Missing You" singer's social feed, one particular photo shared recently had country music interwebs abuzz. Appearing in a carousel of candid snaps, the photo in question is that of what I am going call a "three-quarter moon" (in an effort to stay PG). Although the

Here is a name we have not heard in a while: Morgan Evans. After he and Kelsea Ballerini finalized their very public divorce, the Aussie singer-songwriter felt the best way to heal was to step back and assume a low profile. Like so many of us, Evans processed his sadness and grief by throwing himself into work. Now three years post breakup, Evans is ready to feel a spotlight again. In a recent interview, the 40-year-old became an open book. He described how his lowest points

In the immortal words of Geoffrey Chaucer, all good things must come to an end.

As a "thank you" for setting the tone each night of the Life Is A Highway tour, the boys of Rascal Flatts surprised their openers Chris Lane and Lauren Alaina with a brand spankin' new Ford Mustang and Ford Bronco,

Carrie Underwood's stint as a judge on "American Idol" has felt different this season. The one-time winner of the reality competition show seems a lot more comfortable sharing her true opinions, both positive and constructive. That said, not everybody agrees with her forward approach, especially the live Nashville audience. More than once during the Music City takeover week, the 42-year-old received negative feedback from the crowd in the form of "boos," which is practically

But, hold on, it is not what you are thinking. Just before the Grammy Awards, the country rocker was in a serious accident, breaking his collarbone and totaling his ATV. After seeing an

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has revealed their nominees for the class of 2026. On the surface, we do not see nominees of obvious country influence like current members Dolly Parton or Willie Nelson. However, if we dig a little deeper, at least three embody a distinctly roots-y, Americana vibe. Let us start with The Black Crows. Their mix of folk, blues and rock helped nurture the modern jam band scene, which is currently exploding in popularity with artists like Billy

Dolly Parton's latest endeavor aims to provide hope, support and longevity for sick kids. "I’ve always believed every child deserves a chance to grow up healthy,

On that note, sweeping winds of change have picked up in Music City lately. Let us start with huge congratulations to Luke and Nicole Combs, who welcome their third baby, a boy named Chet Wiley! I am sure big brothers Tex and Beau warmly welcomed the news of a baby brother. Next, an upscale restaurant in Nashville

Well, well, well, look who is living their bluegrass dream! One of Colorado’s (favorite) adopted sons, Dierks Bentley, will be heading out on tour this summer with the legendary Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. Needless to say, Bentley's hits are going to sound different on this tour – less contemporary and more like the mountain music that Grandma and Grandpa used to play. Interestingly, the idea to call the tour Off The Map was inspired by a composition of the

Music is a way of interpreting human experience. Whether it's hiring a wino to decorate your house, your daddy giving you a funny name, waiting on a woman or describing a date at Applebee’s, someone has written a country song about it. Of course, not all compositions have a comedic tone. Matter of fact, I bet you know a few songs about love, respect, war, heartache and a fellow who was burning the candle at both ends until a woman walked in his life and saved him. On that

In a bustling music hub such as Nashville, artists are a dime a dozen. That said, a musically versatile artist would likely have more opportunities than the one-trick pony. Over the years, plenty of country stars have dipped their toes into other genres. Take, for example, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, LeAnn Rimes and Taylor Swift, who all had successful forays in pop music. Meanwhile, Johnny Cash, Hardy and Carrie Underwood have expertly blurred the lines between rock and country
