While we currently don’t know the severity of the heart attack, a spokesman for Ford (whose real name is Jason Brown) says he is currently being treated in the Intensive Care Unit at the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. Ford has been releasing music for almost two decades and is best known for co-writing and original recording Jason Aldean’s massive hit, “Dirt Road Anthem,” which has garnered over 927 million worldwide streams.…

The song was first released from Fleetwood’s self-titled debut album…

If you’ve never seen Koe live (or even if you have), now is the perfect time to snatch up some tickets as this tour features (in my opinion) some of the best acts that the Texas music scene has to…

Just last week it was confirmed that HARDY and Nickelback would be teaming up for the next installment of CMT Crossroads. While the entire episode won’t air until Saturday, April 6th, as part of the networks CMT Music Awards weekend programming block, we received a little taste of what we should expect from the episode, and that’s high energy.  On top of HARDY’s recent #1 single at country radio, “Truck Bed,” it will also feature performances of Nickelback’s “Savin’ Me” and “Animals,” as well as the country rocker’s “Give Heaven Some Hell.” The pair also reportedly recorded a mashup of…

This is shaping up to be the best HIXTAPE record yet.

Good news for Riley Green fans. Today the 35 year-old singer/songwriter announced he’s officially dropping a brand new EP titled, “Way Out Here,” on April 12th. The new 7-song EP will feature previously released tracks such as his current single, “Damn Good Day to Leave,” and the title track, a cover of Josh Thompson’s 2010 “Way Out Here,” as well as “Jesus Saves,” a song Riley has been teasing on tour for quite some time, and a reimagined cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City,.” Riley has recently been teasing some of the new tracks on his headlining “Ain’t My Last…
