Takin’ a little trip down memory lane.. Back in 1989, “Friends In Low Places,” written by Earl Bud Lee and Dewayne Blackwell, was originally intended to be a George Strait song. Arguably the biggest hit of Garth Brooks’ career, the track was sent to him before he had ever released an album with the intention of being recorded as a demo for George Strait. Fast forward a year later, and the King never decided to cut it. “The reason they asked me to do the demo was because I wanted to be George Strait for years, so I do a…

In honor of those we lost to the good fight… Five 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.

Jell Roll is a certified hype man. Last night, Noah Kahan took his headlining ‘We’ll Be Here Forever Tour’ to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and surprised fans when he brought out one of his “closest friends” for an exhilarating performance of his 2022 hit, “Stick Season.” With confetti filling the stadium, Jelly Roll expressed gratitude and praised Noah as being a “prolific” songwriter as the performance was coming to an end: “Y’all make some noise for one of the most prolific songwriters, one of the greatest f**king humans I’ve ever met.” While many wouldn’t consider Noah a “country” artist,…

Mama Wallen chimes in. Yesterday morning, Nashville Metro council members voted 30-3 to deny the “aerial encroachment” construction of a 20-foot sign bearing Wallen’s name above the front entrance of his new bar, located at 107 4th Ave North on Broadway. Although it was reported by Fox 17 in Nashville that there was technically nothing wrong with the sign legally, as it meets all zoning regulations, several council members cited Wallen’s past history of arrests, primarily his recent April arrest after throwing a chair off of Eric Church’s rooftop bar Chief’s. Council member Delishia Porterfield, who said she “didn’t want to see a billboard up with a name…

It appears Post Malone is going ALL in on country music. At this point, it’s no secret that the genre-bending, grammy award winning artist is a huge country music fan. Over the last few months, he’s performed at two country award shows – covering Joe Diffie at the CMA’s alongside HARDY and Morgan Wallen, and most recently a performance at the ACM’s. He also performed a medley of country classics at Stagecoach – covering Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee” with Brad Paisley and bringing out Sara Evans for a performance of her 2004 hit, “Suds in the Bucket.” And while everyone is…
