Casey, a New Jersey native raised on country music, graduated from the University of Delaware with a BA in Communication and minors in Journalism, English, and Advertising. With her strong journalism background and love for country music, it was only natural for her to start writing about the genre she’s most passionate about. She has been contributing to Country Chord since January 2025. A quick look at her playlists reveals favorites like Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, ERNEST, Zach Top, and Turnpike Troubadours.
As the two current hottest faces in country music, Ella Langley and Zach Top are a dream duo for many fans. Luckily, we don’t have to dream up what that pairing would look like on one stage because the two have already performed together in the past. For those who may not remember, back in November 2024, the two united forces at Whiskey Jam’s 1000th show in Nashville. Personally, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a milleversary. Both the ACM New Male Artist of the Year and New Female Artist of the Year played their own set…
Currently seething with jealousy at everyone who got to witness Luke Combs’ performance last night. The 11-time CMA winner popped into the City Winery in Nashville on Monday night, January 19th, for a live taping of NBC’s Sunday Sit Down with Willie Geist. Beyond discussing his career and future goals (like playing a tour of free concerts at a handful of SEC bars), Combs of course had to bless the audience with a live performance. During the sold-out event, the 35-year-old country superstar played his recently released track, “Sleepless in a Hotel Room.” Since its release on January 4th, the…
It seems Luke Combs has a hankering for going back to his roots, and I’m not mad about it. This past Monday, January 19, he took the stage at City Winery in Nashville for a live taping of Sunday Sitdown hosted by TODAY’s Willie Geist. Luckily, a viewer in the audience caught an awesome conversation between the two in which the RIAA’s highest-certified country artist admitted that he was yearning to revisit the small venues he started out at. Combs told Geist, “I dream of doing like an entire tour of just venues I used to play. Like 20-some shows,…
Old Aldean is SO back. As if Jason Aldean’s discography couldn’t get any better, he just teased fans with a performance of the intro track from his new album, Songs About Us. At his show last Friday night, January 16, Aldean graced the fans of Tupelo, Mississippi, with a sneak peek of “Anytime Soon,” which is set to drop alongside his upcoming album on April 24th. So far, seven of the twenty songs from the tracklist have already been released, including his first-ever duet with his wife, Brittany Aldean, “Easier Gone.” Many fans have been calling this new project a…
There’s only a handful of people who could crash an Opry debut and have it be seen as a compliment. For Reba McEntire, that just so happens to be the one and only Dolly Parton. McEntire took to the Opry Stage this past Friday, January 16th, to help induct artist Suzy Bogguss. While on the legendary platform, she recalled her own Opry debut back on September 17th, 1977. At just 22-years-old, McEntire was in the budding stages of her career with the release of her debut album emerging earlier that year in January 1977. For any artist at that time,…
