As we patiently wait for Brad Paisley to release his Son of the Mountains album (which was teased all the way back in 2023), it’s pretty natural to go back and listen to all the gems he’s released since his debut in 1999. From all-time classics like Who Needs Pictures to 5th Gear, there’s no denying that he’s become one of the most underappreciated artists in the genre over the years. It seems like none other than reigning CMA New Artist of the Year, Megan Moroney, is also a huge fan of the “She’s Everything” singer. Earlier today, she took…

Morgan got jokes. Unless you haven’t been online the past couple of days, there’s an extremely good chance that you’ve seen clips surfacing of Bailey Zimmerman’s set from Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa festival over the weekend in Cancún, Mexico. To say that the “Religiously” singer’s set was less than ideal would be an understatement. Clearly too drunk to properly perform, Zimmerman stumbled his way through his set and sounded, well, awful. At one point, the 24-year-old singer screamed into the mic before delivering what can only be described as a speech from that one friend you know that goes…

Ty Myers is undoubtedly one of the hottest up-and-comers in country music today. At only 18 years old, the Texas native has made waves in the genre with his smash hit, “The Ends of the Earth,” which recently netted him his first-ever entry on the Billboard Hot 100. As Myers gears up for the release of his highly-anticipated 16-song debut album, The Select, he appeared on Apple Music’s Country Risers Radio podcast with Ward Guenther to discuss the record, his influences and more. In the interview, Myers was asked about the comparisons he gets to both Parker McCollum and John…

What a way to honor the legend. On a historic night in our nation’s capital that started with Carrie Underwood’s impromptu a capella performance of “America The Beautiful,” President Trump was greeted by a plethora of stars from the country genre. From Jason Aldean’s extended concert to Rascal Flatts’ first performance together since reuniting, inauguration day had plenty of memorable moments. Arguably the most heartfelt moment of the night came during Parker McCollum’s performance during the Commander-in-Chief Ball in the final hours of inauguration day. After playing his signature hits, “Pretty Heart,” “To Be Loved By You” and his current…

What a start to Inauguration Day. On a frigid morning in our nation’s capital that required the inauguration to take place inside the US Capitol for just the fourth time in history, President Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. After both Trump and Vice President Vance were sworn into office, none other than eight-time Grammy winner, Carrie Underwood, was called upon to deliver a performance of “America The Beautiful.” After an incredible amount of controversy after being confirmed as a performer at Trump’s inauguration, Underwood delivered a stunning a capella rendition of the historic…

Fresh off a CMA Album of the Year award win for Leather back in November, Cody Johnson is keeping the momentum into 2025 with his brand new arena tour, Leather Deluxe. Making his debut in Newark, New Jersey, the “‘Til You Can’t” singer delivered a knockout set to the sold-out crowd at the Prudential Center. The Newark show featured live debuts of multiple songs off Leather Deluxe, including “Take It Like A Man,” “The Fall,” “Made In The USA” and “Over Missin’ You.” Despite filling the setlist with many tracks off of Leather and its subsequent deluxe edition, Johnson delivered…
