2026/02/05

Have you heard the story about the starving artist on the verge of desperation and down to their last few bucks who then catch their big break? It is a tale as old as time and a key component of many artists' origin story. Luke Combs recently opened up about this very specific era in his career. The North Carolina native described arriving in Nashville with stars in his eyes and eager to record songs for a demo tape. Unfortunately, professional studio time is very expensive,

That said, artists from across the musical spectrum gathered to celebrate and recognize the fruits of their labor at the 68th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

For at least a week, Tim McGraw, Eric Church and HARDY have been dropping clues and Easter eggs on their social media (a la Taylor Swift) leading up to their surprising brand new collaborative release called "McArthur." Written by the wordsmith himself, HARDY's “McArthur” embodies exemplary storytelling synonymous with the country western genre. Recorded by Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Hardy and Morgan Wallen, the song explores the history and dynamics of the fictional

2026/01/30

Kenny Chesney has sold millions of records, rocked millions of faces at stadiums around the world and is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. You would think with all that success a big star like Chesney wouldn’t get hung up on little things such as songs that didn’t make it to No. 1 status. However, the Tennessee native recently confessed there is one song he believes didn’t get a fair shake, and it’s stuck in his craw since 2003. Two major

Professional entertainers such as Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie are constantly on the move. For example, in the music business, when artists are not writing and recording an album, they are typically preparing or executing a multi-week tour to support said album. Then there is the promotional aspect, which includes but is not limited to podcast, radio and TV interviews as well as special appearances. Now, throw in something major like a filming schedule and

Winter has finally arrived in the Mile High City. While many folks braved the cold to either watch football or visit the National Western Complex for the final weekend of Stock Show and pro-rodeo finals, our friends to the east could not even leave the house. Winter Storm Fern delivered blizzard conditions so dangerous, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville decided it would be safer to cancel their Saturday night live show.

2026/01/09

I admit, when I woke up this morning, I did not think I would end up ugly crying at work, but here we are. Most Kelsea Ballerini fans are familiar with her dog, Dibs. Over the last 10 years, no matter how crazy Ballerini’s life got, she could always depend on the loyal pup to be her anchor. Sadly, Dibs was diagnosed with inoperable cancer near his heart in the fall of 2024. Not knowing how long how much time was left, the "East Tennessee" singer put a lot of energy into

Joshua Ray Walker is an incredibly talented artist from Texas. Unfortunately, the last few years have been a personal roller coaster ride for the 32-year-old. Back in 2023, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwood treatment. Late in 2024, a follow up scan apparently revealed the cancer has spread to his lungs. Needless to say, Walker was preparing for the worst. That is, until just weeks later, when he learned the original diagnosis was incorrect and there were no signs

Their whirlwind relationship has taken the couple around the world. A few of their epic adventures include (but are not limited to) hiking in the Alps, skydiving and attending the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain...not just as spectators, but actual participants!

Three years ago, Florida Georgia Line's "indefinite hiatus" sent shockwaves throughout country music. Rumors about the breakup permeated the Nashville air like mash boiling in a still. Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelly are widely recognized as a genre-defining duo who helped hard launch bro and boyfriend country. That said, who would’ve guessed FGL's split was as drama free as their songs? Finally setting the record straight, Hubbard admits the band’s coup de grâce

Some of the projects he has been involved with include but are not limited to award shows, music videos and the occasional commercial.

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,

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

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
