I could watch this again and again. Neither Chris Stapleton nor Sturgill Simpson are strangers to making appearances on Saturday Night Live. Back in 2016, Chris made his SNL debut with performances of “Parachute” and “Nobody To Blame.” Since then, the country star has made two additional appearances, including his most recent back in April when he served as the musical guest alongside host, Ryan Gosling. But my favorite appearance from Chris on the comedy sketch late-night show thus far is when he surprised the viewers by bringing out fellow Kentucky native, Sturgill Simpson, for performances of “Hard Livin'” and…

“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…

Nowadays, the definition of country music has been left open to interpretation. With many sub-genres spawning over the last few decades, one thing remains true; you know real country when you hear it. For some, it’s been a disappointing last couple of decades. For others, newer artists such as Morgan Wallen or Zach Bryan have been what’s made them a country music fan, considering both stars have incredible streaming numbers and seemingly break records monthly. Although critics and fans have been expressing their frustration with country music changing and evolving for generations, pop music heavily infiltrated the genre in the…

Jason Aldean is officially working on new music. Just moments ago, the 47 year-old country star shared a video to his Instagram story of him and his band back in the studio working on what one would assume is a brand new album. Aldean released his last record, “Highway Desperado,” back in November of last year, and with his tour of the same name wrapping up just a couple weeks ago, it looks like he is right on schedule. If timing and previous release dates throughout his 20-year career are any indication of when you should expect this new record…

Hope you’ve been savin’ your money. It’s officially that time of year where festivals across the country (and beyond) announce the lineups for their 2025 multi-day events, and you have to decide what’s more important – paying your bills or purchasing passes to get absolutely obliterated with your friends (and strangers) while your favorite artists throw down on stage. With lineups already revealed for the 2025 Cattle Country Music Fest, as well as Morgan Wallen’s first-ever ‘Sand In My Boots’ fest coming to Golf Shores, Alabama in the spring, next up is Two Step Inn, and the lineup is STACKED.…

After a successful first year, the Cattle Country Music Fest in Gonzales, Texas is officially running it back. This morning, the lineup was announced and although we are waiting to hear who the other two headliners will be in addition to Parker McCollum, the group of artists already added is LOADED. If you’re a fan of 90’s country, then this lineup is especially for you. With acts such as Tanya Tucker, Clint Black, Clay Walker and Shenandoah on the bill, traditional country is alive and well. If you’re a fan of the alt rock country scene out of Texas, then…
