Before even kickstarting his career in Nashville, Parker McCollum knew who he was from day one, and selling out was never part of the plan. During his May 4 appearance on the Zach Sang Show, the 33-year-old Texas native reflected on his early beginnings as a rising country artist, transitioning from the red dirt scene to making it big in Music City. Reminiscing on his start before becoming an award-winning four-number-one hits holding star, back in 2017, McCollum was given an insane opportunity at an easy million-dollar check… if he decommited from his record deal. In this larger-than-life dilemma, McCollum…

After endless teasing from Koe Wetzel, the “Sweet Dreams” singer has finally announced his next era of music will be in our hands in a little over a month on June 12.

Returning to the stage 20 years later, American Idol’s season 3 sweetheart Kellie Pickler joined forces last night with none other than the competition’s current fan favorite, Hannah Harper.

With four options to choose from via text throughout the pre-show, to no one’s surprise, the same cult-classic has dominated the shows every. single. night.

Somebody needs to call up the Guinness World Records and get this catalogued ASAP. This past Saturday, country music star Brantley Gilbert took the stage at the Rock the Country festival, where he helped probably his oldest fan to accomplish a pretty epic show-stopping milestone. The woman, 99-year-old Pauline Kana, better known as “Granny,” is a bit of an internet star herself via her grandson, Ross Smith’s social media page, where she shows her unapologetic, sassy, and impressively thriving personality. Within just their past few recently posted videos, Granny got an oversized bra signed by NFL running back Marshawn Lynch,…

When I get to heaven, prop me up beside the jukebox next to all the lost country legends. Right about now, Toby Keith and David Allan Coe are probably doing the same and reminiscing about the wild stories they made over the years as genre staples.
