What a wild night. On Wednesday, November 8th, the CMA Awards aired live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, and while there were a couple low points (as any award show has) there were a ton of cool and exciting moments. For starters, Eric Church made a surprise appearance alongside Morgan Wallen to perform their newest single at Country radio, “Man Made A Bar.” Post Malone also joined Morgan and HARDY to honor Joe Diffie with a performance of “Pickup Man,” while also simultaneously releasing it to all streaming services and announcing HIXTAPE Vol 3. On top of that, Lainey…

Didn’t see this one coming. Tonight, HARDY performed alongside Post Malone and Morgan Wallen at the 2023 CMA Awards in what was previously announced to be a medley of “country classics.” Those country classics? Two exclusive Joe Diffie covers. Ahead of the award show, HARDY admitted there would be a big announcement surrounding their performance that would “make sense” after the trio took the stage together: “There is a plan, and I can’t talk about it yet, but it will all make sense after the awards. I can’t get too much into why we’re doing it but it’ll all make…
Surprise. Tonight, Eric Church took the stage with his good buddy Morgan Wallen for a surprise performance of “Man Made A Bar.” The song, written by Brett Tyler, Jordan Dozzi, Larry Fleet and Rocky Block, is featured on Wallen’s latest studio album, “One Thing At A Time,” and is, in my opinion, one of the most solid tracks on the massive 36-song record. Wallen is also expected to perform a “country classic medley” with HARDY and Post Malone and is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, an honor Eric Church won back in 2020. On top of the EOTY nod,…
Pretty cool to see. Last night, Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs tied for Songwriters Of The Year at the 71st annual BMI Country Awards. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Broadcast Music, Inc. (@bmi) After being crowned by BMI, the two country stars, who are currently viewed by many as the biggest artists in the genre, shared the stage for a rare performance that involved them singing one another’s hits. Morgan decided to tackle an acoustic performance of “Going, Going, Gone,” the third single off Luke’s third studio album, Growin’ Up. In return, Combs gave a moving…
HARDY and Lainey Wilson are already big winners ahead of tonight’s CMA Award show. This morning, the Country Music Association revealed that “wait in the truck,” written by HARDY, along with Hunter Phelps, Renee Blair and Jordan Schmidt, has won Musical Event Of The Year and Music Video Of The Year.

Good news for Turnpike fans and Apple Music users. Today, the Turnpike Troubadours surprise dropped the Nashville Sessions, featuring three total tracks, exclusively to Apple Music. The sessions include a new rendition of the popular “Good Lord Lorrie,” as well as “Mean Old Sun” from the band’s most recent album, A Cat In The Rain, and a cover of John Prine’s “Paradise.” While the arrangement and production on the new renditions of their previous cuts doesn’t necessarily offer anything new, the John Prine cover is clearly what stands out here. Written solely by Prine, Paradise was released on his self-titled…
