Country’s finest. Back in 2017, Chris Stapleton and George Strait (as well as a handful of others) took the stage together to perform Strait’s 1993 classic, “When Did You Stop Loving Me.” The song was the third and final single from Strait’s “Pure Country” album and the performance was at a benefit concert to raise money for Hurricane Harvey victims. When it was all said and done, they ended up raising over 40 million dollars. Even though he was one of the performers himself, Chris didn’t take the moment for granted: “If you don’t think growing up listening to George…

Not something many artists can do. Back in 2020, it was hard for a lot of folks to remain positive throughout the stress and unknown brought to us via the Covid-19 pandemic. From lockdowns, to summer outdoor activities (most notably concerts and festivals) being canceled, alcohol sales increased and social media consumption skyrocketed. For some, the days dragged and there wasn’t much to look forward to. BUT, throughout all the chaos and the “six feet apart” screams at every convenience store in America, there was one saving grace – music. Due to the strict mandates, artists were forced to find…

Running it back. Today, Pepsi’s Rock The Country officially announced the lineup for their second annual music festival tour and it’s absolutely loaded.

Running it back. Earlier this morning, XRoads 41 announced the lineup for their second annual music festival and it features some of the hottest names in all of country music. Cody Johnson, Kane Brown and Parker McCollum are set to headline the 3-day event, with support from Koe Wetzel, Jessie Murph, Rodney Atkins, Ian Munsick, Josh Meloy and more. Last year, Oshkosh marketing director, Mindy Klein, talked about the impact of XRoads after their community went four years without a festival in place. And while both lineups feature more country acts that not, blending genres has been a focus for…

Basically the same thing. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should be well aware of the heinous charges brought against rapper, record producer and record executive, Sean Combs (better known by his stage name, Diddy). If you haven’t kept yourself in the loop, the 3x Grammy award winner is currently facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Back in September, Diddy appeared in Manhattan federal court, and Attorney Damian Williams pleaded for more victims to come forward: “As alleged in the Indictment, for years, Sean Combs used the business empire he controlled to sexually abuse and exploit women,…

“If I can stand up to someone in power, you can stand up to the bum from your hometown.” After a very public breakup back in October, things between Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry have only gotten messier. This past Tuesday night, fellow BFFs host and Barstool founder, Dave Portnoy, teamed up with Josh Richards to release a diss track towards the “Something in the Orange” singer. Although the video and song have been removed for copyright claims from Warner Music, it hasn’t stopped the video from making its rounds on TikTok and other social media platforms. After it was announced that…
