Gotta love the internet. Back in 2006, then opening-act, Eric Church, was kicked off of the Rascal Flatts’ “Me and My Gang Tour” for consistently playing past his allotted time-slot. The band apparently attempted to reason with Chief by offering to give him an earlier start time, while also adding 12 minutes to his set: “We sat him down in our dressing room and were like, ‘We’ll put you on early so you can play longer. But please, just be off the stage because we still have to do our show.” Well, Church did things his own way back then…

Back in February, legendary country singer, Toby Keith, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by family after battling stomach cancer for the last two years. As we celebrate his life and the incredible three-decade long career that saw him garner twenty #1 hits and sell over 40 million albums, I wanted to highlight this special moment from Monday Night Football in 1993 that involved not only one of his best songs, but one of the most iconic country songs of all time. When Keith released his debut album in the early 90’s, the Dallas Cowboys dominance was at full tilt. With…
The song that keeps on giving.Just two months after releasing a live video performance for “Burn It Down” from his show at the Moody Center Arena in Austin, Texas, Parker McCollum released yet another live video performance of the track to his YouTube channel yesterday, this time an acoustic version. While I’m a huge fan of Parker’s high energy stage presence, accompanied by the pyrotechnics launching into the sky when he performs “Burn It Down,” this stripped down version featuring Parker lounging on a barstool is a nice change of pace and allows you to direct your entire focus towards the storyline.…
Electrifying. Last year, George Strait and Chris Stapleton honored the late Tom Petty with a cover of his 1994 hit, “You Wreck Me,” live at Arrowhead Stadium. The track was written by Petty, as well as his lead guitarist, Mike Campbell, and was released as the second single off his album, “Wildflowers.” It peaked at #2 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart in ’95. Home of the Kansas City Chiefs, this marked the first time King George had played at Arrowhead Stadium in 21 years since his festival run that also featured Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley and Sara Evans. This specific…
A bold statement. Last year, Luke Combs sat down with the guys over at Full Send Podcast for a pretty entertaining conversation that involved a few dicey questions. When asked “who’s the number 1 country music star in the world right now?,” Luke had a very bold but honest answer; “It’s me or Wallen for sure.” First things first, I don’t think wrong. While I saw some comments and posts on social media questioning Luke’s “humbleness” for including himself in the answer, can we really blame him? I mean, it wasn’t like he was asked who’s the biggest Country artist…
Wyatt Flores is BACK back. After returning from a brief hiatus last week with a brand new song, “I Wish I Could Stay,” and the announcement of a new 8-track EP, “Half Life,” to drop next month, the “Please Don’t Go” singer appears to be fully re-energized, as he also announced this morning that he’s hittin’ the road again this summer. Set to kick off in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, on July 4th, Wyatt’s headlining “Here There + Gone” tour features 12 shows with support from Thomas Rowland, Philip Bowen, Noeline Hofmann, Coleman Jennings and Brendan Walter, and will…
