Conner Smith is hittin’ the road this fall. The ACM New Male Artist of the Year nominee officially announced his headlining ‘The Storyteller Tour’ this morning with special guests Jonathan Hutcherson and Zach John King. Kickin’ off in Great Falls, Montana, on October 8th, the tour features 16 total dates and wraps up in December with three shows in Canada. “The Storyteller Tour feels like the beginning of the next chapter for me. What made me fall in love with country music was three chords and the truth. I’m excited to share through my live show how my music has…

Last night, Morgan Wallen took his massive headlining One Night At A Time tour to Citizens Bank Park (home of the Phillies MLB team) in Pennsylvania and performed for a sold out crowd of over 40,000 people. Of course, this was a makeup date, as Morgan had to cancel the original show back in June of last year due to his vocal chord issues. After making fans in Philly wait almost a year, Morgan kept the original openers that included Lauren Watkins, Ernest and Parker McCollum, and even later brought out the Texas native to sing Eric Church’s part on…

What say you? Parker McCollum recently made an appearance on the Like a Farmer podcast, where he was asked who he thinks is at the top of country music right now. While the Texas native acknowledged that his music is “different” and more “hip-hop based,” he unabashedly name-dropped East Tennessee artist, Morgan Wallen: “I don’t think anybody ever catches Wallen.

“Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low…” Before becoming the country music sensation that he is today after the release of his 2015 debut album, “Traveller,” Chris Stapleton was one of the most prominent songwriters in all of Nashville. The 45 year-old superstar is responsible for co-writing many hits over the last couple of decades, including some you probably wouldn’t expect. From “Never Wanted Nothing More” by Kenny Chesney, to “Come Back Song” by Darius Rucker, Chris left his mark all over the 2000’s. One track that Chris is listed as a co-writer on, just before blowing…

Country music singer/songwriter and Middle Tennessee State University alum, Michael Hardy (better known by his stage name of just HARDY), had the privilege of his returning to his old school this past weekend to give the commencement address to over 2,000 graduating students. On top of speaking to the first class of 2024, the country/rock singer finally received his diploma in person, 11 years later after not attending his own graduation. During his speech, HARDY detailed his first encounter with a then-nobody, Morgan Wallen: “About 8 years ago, my publisher called me and he asked if I wanted to write…
