Iconic. Back in early September of last year, Jimmy Buffett passed away surrounded by family and friends at the age of 76. TMZ reported that the cause of death was from a rare skin cancer, Merkel cell carcinoma, that Buffett was quietly diagnosed with four years prior. A month after his death, Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney and Zac Brown Band, (all artists who collaborated with Buffett in the past), paid tribute to the Brown Eyed Girl singer with a special performance at the CMA Awards, and of course, rainbow parrots and other tropical aesthetics decorated the stage in his honor. As…

That’s what I’m tonkin’ bout. It’s no secret (or at least it shouldn’t be anyway), that Zach Top is emerging himself as one of the biggest country artists in the genre. While Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan overwhelmingly dominate streaming numbers, Top is bringing back that traditional 80’s and 90’s sound country music fans clearly still crave, and doing it extremely well I might add. While his original music, especially the songs from his recent sophomore studio album, “Cold Beer & Country Music,” are nothing short of incredible, the man does every artist before him justice when he adds his smooth and twangy vocals into the mix. From…

MASSIVE numbers. It’s officially that time of year again – ya know, where avid music listeners share their most listened to artists of the year to their social media accounts in the form of Spotify Wrapped or Apple Music Replay, and it appears country music streams were up even higher than they were in 2023. While the numbers will tell you that country music’s popularity is at an all time high, you can just about credit the genre’s success to two artists alone – Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan. Earlier in the week, Spotify dropped their own “wrapped,” releasing the…

Festival season is so back (sort of). It’s officially that time of year where festivals across the country reveal their 2025 lineups, and with some pretty heavy hitting lists of performers already announced for Two Step Inn, Cattle Country, as well as Morgan Wallen’s inaugural Sand In My Boots Fest in Gulf Shores Alabama, the Tailgate N’ Tallboys Iowa bill did NOT disappoint. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tailgate N’ Tallboys Iowa (@tailgatentallboysiowa) Whiskey Myers, Riley Green and Jason Aldean are set to headline the three-day event, with support from Ella Langley, Ole 60, Gavin Adcock,…

It appears Morgan Wallen is finally taking some time for himself. After wrapping up his massive ‘One Night At a Time’ world tour back in October, the “Last Night” singer shared a video yesterday exclusively to ticket buyers thanking his fans for attending and updating them on what he’s been up to. “I just wanted to say thank you personally and give you an opportunity to have something cool at the same time. I’m working. I’m taking a little time for myself but I’m working also. Can’t wait to get back out there and see y’all at some point next…

Comin’ up on two decades now. Before becoming the massive household name he is today, Jason Aldean was just another musician who packed up his bags and moved to Nashville at the young age of 21 with nothin’ but a guitar and a dream of makin’ it big. With a little help from longtime producer, Michael Knox (who first approached Aldean at a nightclub in Atlanta back in 1998), the current ACM Artist-of-the-Decade title holder eventually released his debut album 7 years later and well, the rest is history. Although he found early success with his debut single, “Hicktown,” which…
