Coming soon. After a year that included a record-breaking show in the U.K., his second straight Billboard Song of the Summer and a slew of sold-out stadium shows, Morgan Wallen has his eyes set on another new venture: a music festival. Minutes ago, Wallen took to Instagram to announce his very own festival titled Sand In My Boots Fest. In the post, he said, “Me and my team have been working on this for a while, and we’re gonna be heading south to the beaches. And I’m bringing some of my friends with me.” Obviously, the festival is named after…

If you’ve been on the internet at all over the past few years and have seen a post about Garth Brooks, there’s a good chance that you have seen at least one, or maybe even a dozen, comments reading “Where are the bodies, Garth?” Even before Brooks’ sexual assault lawsuit earlier in the month, these comments have been seemingly everywhere that the “Friends in Low Places” singer is mentioned. The seemingly random nature of the comment has led many to be confused about what it means and where it came from, and, honestly, I don’t blame them. The “Where are…

With Zach Bryan mania seemingly hitting a fever pitch over the past two years, it seems as if everything the 28-year-old singer/songwriter does gets put under the microscope. Whether it’s his comments about the Bud Light boycott, his controversial tweets about Taylor Swift and Kanye West or his infamous 2023 arrest, Bryan has always been someone who isn’t afraid to speak his mind (minus a deleted tweet or two). In his recent “Musicians on Musicians” interview with Bruce Springsteen in Rolling Stone, the “I Remember Everything” singer dug into everything from the pair’s prolific songwriting, to the future of American…

One of the longest-running (and oftentimes most frustrating) debates throughout the genre’s history has been none other than what is or isn’t country. With very loud opinions on both sides, it seems like there is never going to be a true middle ground and/or consensus reached on what truly makes a song “country” or not. While the definition of country music has undoubtedly been watered down lately, especially given the fact that it houses so many different subgenres that all contain some elements underneath them, it’s always fascinating to hear different perspectives on the century-old debate. The latest artist to…

Real recognizes real. Playing at Billy Bob’s Texas is a bucket list for nearly every country singer working today. Located in Fort Worth, Texas, the venue is often viewed as the mother church of honky tonks not only in Texas but the entire country. Over the weekend, Zach Top made his debut at the iconic Texas venue to a sold-out crowd. As mentioned previously, it’s a special moment to perform at Billy Bob’s. It’s another thing entirely when you’re joined on stage by one of the biggest legends in the genre, and that’s exactly what the “Sounds Like the Radio”…

It’s been quite a week for Luke Combs. Between his efforts to provide care for victims of Hurricane Helene and his recently revealed spot on Nashville’s Music City Walk of Fame, the “Where the Wild Things Are” singer has been pretty busy. On top of all of this, Combs also has a brand new Nashville bar, Category 10, coming soon which just got an official opening date. This morning, the Category 10 Instagram account officially announced that it will be opening its doors on Saturday, November 2nd. Opening day festivities will begin early on November 2nd at 11 a.m. with…
