Sneedville native and pastor Tommy Wallen, who’s perhaps best known as the father of country hitmaker Morgan Wallen, has returned with another installment of his weekly Sunday Seven sermon on his son’s Sirius XM channel. This time around, Tommy came prepared with more than seven minutes of scripture, bringing some eye-opening statistics along with him. Marking the ninth episode of his recurring Sunday show, this past August 16, Tommy set out to help listeners understand “the Importance of Studying God’s Word.” Building off of last week’s episode, which unpacked the reasoning behind God’s creation, Tommy took a pause to explain…

Oh, what I’d give to have Chris Stapleton revisit his SteelDriver days just once at a show. The 12-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter fronted the bluegrass band back in 2007-2010, during which they produced their iconic self-titled debut album. And Lord, I’d pay a lot of good money to hear his voice revived live on some of the album’s staple tracks like “Midnight Train to Memphis,” “If It Hadn’t Been For Love,” and the beloved “Heaven Sent.” Luckily for fans at Stapleton’s sold-out Fenway Park show this past Saturday, August 15 (and unluckily for me, who wasn’t there to witness it),…

I should not be laughing this hard at the comment section of a podcast clip— let alone featuring the frontman of Train, of all people— but here we are. The “Drops of Jupiter” singer Pat Monahan was a recent guest on American Songwriter’s show, Off The Record, and as an avid Los Angeles recording artist, the 57-year-old had some judgy opinions about the culture shock of recording in Nashville. According to Monahan, “Everybody in Nashville is super weird. Like no one has recording equipment.” He shares that people just use their iPhone…which is a pretty common thing to do when…

Ella Langley has two new permanent souvenirs from her Austin show to forever commemorate the monumental sold-out night. Before hitting the stage at the Moody Center for her first string of shows throughout Texas on Thursday night, August 13, Langley rolled up her sleeves backstage to add to her growing collection of tattoos. Ahead of the tour, the “Choosin’ Texas” singer celebrated her highly successful sophomore album with a dandelion tattoo on her forearm, adding to her pre-existing collection of meaningful designs. As of right now, the country music star also has an Eric Church tribute of a heart on…

Nowadays, Tyler Childers seems like the type of guy you’d have to run over his newborn baby just to even begin to piss him off. It’s hard to imagine anything in the world truly getting under his skin. Though, that’s probably partially due to the fact that he gives himself a five-minute intermission at every show before performing “Bitin’ List,” where he gets to rant about whatever the h*ll he wants and get all that pent-up hatred out of his system. And apparently, one of his most common recurring pet peeves is people who don’t put their shopping carts away.…

If you’re confused about why every single post about Garth Brooks looks like a forensic search forum, let me break down the internet’s long-running “Where Are the Bodies? theory for you. For everyone who’s not chronically online or is under the age of 18 and just discovered who Garth Brooks is because the man still refuses to put his music on streaming…grab some popcorn and get cozy because “Friends in Low Places” has a wild conspiracy theory that fans can’t seem to shake— Myself included. Brooks has been implementing a slow rollout of tour stops on his upcoming 2026 Blame…
