That’s how it’s done. Back in 2020, it was hard for some folks to remain positive through 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. And that was music. Almost everyday for weeks, artists who weren’t allowed to tour due to…

In honor of those we lost to the good fight… Six years ago today, Justin Moore performed his hit single “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home” on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol at the 15th Annual National Memorial Day Parade and it was POWERFUL. The National Memorial Day Parade is the largest Memorial Day parade in the nation, drawing in more than 250,000 spectators on-site and millions more watching it live on TV. The single, off his 2019 record, Late Nights and Longnecks, honors the brave men and women who have served in the military as officers, fire-fighters, first-responders, teachers…

Doin’ Whitley justice… 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 his acoustic…

Ladies and gentlemen..I present to you “Cuntry music.” As the world of A.I. rapidly evolves into the daily lives of just about every American, its impact on music is still unfolding. While it recently helped us to hear Randy Travis’ iconic voice again on a brand new song for the first time in over a decade, perhaps alas we’ve finally found the correct way to use artificial intelligence to bring our divided nation and its citizens together once and for all. While we may not have flying cars or fully substantial ecosystems that provide us with drinking water that doesn’t…

The first-ever Boots on the Bayou Music Fest is here and the lineup is absolutely LOADED. Fresh off a few ACM Award wins (as well as a couple of performances), Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton were just announced as headliners for the inaugural festival taking place in Gonzales, Louisiana on October 31st and November 1st. On top of CoJo and Chris, an additional ten acts featuring the likes of Riley Green, Parker McCollum, Marcus King Band, Ashley Cooke, Carly Pearce and more, will also hit the stage at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center when the two-day event comes to town.…

One of the greatest to ever do it. 36 years ago, today, one of the most iconic Country singers passed away in his home at the young age of 34. Still new to Country music before his death, Keith Whitley had only released two albums, but hits like “When You Say Nothing At All,” “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” and “I’m No Stranger To The Rain,” as well as his distinct tone, instantly made him a huge star. In 1989, Whitley passed away from alcohol poisoning, with a blood alcohol content of more than 5X the legal limit. At the time of his…
