There’s no denying that Sam Barber is well on his way to becoming one of the hottest names in alternative country. Hailing from a small town in Missouri, singer-songwriter Sam Barber first proved his vocal abilities with the Lynyrd Skynyrd and Zach Bryan covers he’s posted to social media over the past few years. He’s since shared equally impressive renditions of Koe Wetzel and Chris Stapleton hits, and even knocked it out of the park with his incredible acoustic take on Beyoncé’s “Halo.” This kid’s a hell of a lyricist too – it’s almost hard to believe he’s only 18.…

Parker McCollum took to Instagram and Twitter today to share a minute and-a-half snippet of his latest work-in-progress, seemingly titled “Got Damn.” I don’t know if it’s the lyrics that hit a little deeper than some of his recent songs, or if it’s the acoustic and harmonica combo…but something about this one sounds a lot like Parker McCollum’s earlier records. Major “Limestone Kid” vibes, and I’m here for it. “Sum I been workin on. Unfinished. Got Damn.” he captioned the post. Time to get to work on the rest of it Parker, because this shit is phenomenal. “Never Enough,” the…
Cody Johnson made a huge announcement before taking the stage at Country Thunder in Florence, Arizona on Saturday night.

Easily one of the most underrated artists in the game. Sam Grow put himself on the map with his debut studio album “Love and Whiskey,” back in 2019. The record landed him a #1 spot on the iTunes Country Albums chart following it’s release, and gained Grow a place on Billboard’s list of “7 Country Acts To Watch” in 2019. He continued his success with his 2020 EP “Me and Mine,” where fans first heard the top-streamed single “Song About You,” later named one of Spotify’s Best Country Songs of 2020. Sam Grow’s career has been steadily growing in the…
Corey Kent has been hinting at new music a lot lately, frequently teasing unreleased songs across all of his social media accounts. He even admitted (for the most part) that a new record might be on the way, tweeting “Feels like a good year for an album…” just last week. Back in March, the “Wild As Her” singer also shared his plans to drop a “heartbreak song” on 4/14. He posted videos of two unreleased songs, and asked for fans’ feedback as he contemplated which one to choose. The original contenders were titled “Gone As You” and “Long Story Short,”…
