For the broadway girls… After solidifying himself as the biggest artist in country music in 2023, Morgan Wallen took to social media today to announce that his new bar, This Bar and Tennesee Kitchen is coming to downtown Nashville at some point this summer. The bar will be managed by Wallen and his team as well as TC Restaurant Group, the team behind Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Miranda Lambert’s bars. It was rumored back in August of 2023 that the Last Night singer was planning on opening up a bar of his own located at 107…

That’s how it’s done. Just a month after the Turnpike Troubadours made their late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Charles Wesley Godwin became the next indie country darling to make his debut on the show last night. Godwin has been one of the most prominent names in independent country. From touring on multiple runs with Zach Bryan and releasing a song with him to signing a major label deal with Big Loud earlier last year, it seems that Godwin is on the cusp of breaking into the mainstream any minute now. Coming just a month after his appearance on The Joe Rogan…
Flatland Cavalry has long been one of independent country’s best-kept secrets. Since their debut in 2015 with Come May, Flatland has earned the reputation of being one of the best and most underrated bands in the entire genre. Despite a growing fanbase and critical praise from album to album, the band has never had a song certified by the RIAA. That changed today, however. A Life Where We Work Out (feat. Kaitlin Butts) was just certified gold by the RIAA, selling over 500,000 units as of February 12th. It should come as no surprise given that the track is their…
Luke Combs has established himself as one of the premier acts in country music along side of giants such as Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan. With 17 #1 hits and over two dozen platinum singles, Combs has proven to be an absolute powerhouse since his debut in 2014. With that being said, there have been a lot of hits (and a few misses) along the way for the Beautiful Crazy singer. There have been 81 officially released songs by Combs as the lead artist, ranging from his #1 hits to a track from the animated film, The Angry Birds Movie…
It’s no secret that country music had one of its best years ever in 2023. From Morgan Wallen dominating the charts and winning 11 Billboard Music Awards to Zach Bryan picking up RIAA certifications seemingly weekly, it seems like country is finally getting the mainstream appeal that many have been craving for years. In a year that saw three country songs occupy the top three tracks on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart for the first time ever on August 26 (Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond, Morgan Wallen’s Last Night and Luke Comb’s Fast Car) along with a plethora of…
“I don’t belong to anyone, nobody belongs to me.” John Mayer has flirted with country for years, appearing on CMT Crossroads episodes with Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. Between his criminally underrated songwriting ability and his legendary guitar work, it’s not hard to see how he’s influenced today’s country stars. Today, Parker McCollum is the latest artist to cover one of Mayer’s songs, the underrated 2009 deep cut, Perfectly Lonely. McCollum has stated in the past that Mayer has been a huge influence on his style in the past on Twitter before, noting that every song of his has been…
