With previously set live performances throughout the show from Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, and more, the Las Vegas event has also just announced 11 brand new faces to the night’s lineup. The Academy of Country Music will showcase none other than dominating rising stars, Ella Langley and Zach Top. This comes as a no-brainer with Langley continuing to make waves following her unstoppable success of “Choosin’ Texas” and the release of…

Recognizing his hometown heroes, Parker McCollum recently made a surprise appearance at a local medical center to give back to the Shenandoah, Texas nurses. This week, the staff at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands walked into what they thought was an A-typical employee appreciation event, only to be greeted by ACM Album of the Year nominee, McCollum. The country superstar who grew up just down the road in Conroe took the time to stop in and give his formal in-person thanks to the local frontline healthcare workers. McCollum’s appearance was also just the start of the new Healthcare Heroes Initiative, a…

Country music star, actor, and now unofficial gender reveal officiant, Riley Green, just keeps adding to his growing list of accolades. Between playing his hits like “Different ‘Round Here” and “Rather Be,” the Alabama singer-songwriter took time during his Sunday night Lonestar Smokeout show to help an expecting couple announce their baby’s gender. Looking out into the Arlington, Texas crowd, he held the results in his hands, to which, in true Green fashion, he plainly stated, “Ya’ll are having a baby…nice.” Backed by a cinematic sunset and his band playing a slow jazz tune, Green initiated the ultimate reveal at…

Rest in peace to one of the greatest outlaw country music legends, David Allan Coe. The “Take This Job & Shove It” singer passed away yesterday evening, April 29, at the age of 86, after a day spent in the intensive care unit. While his cause of death is currently unknown, there’s one thing for certain, and that’s that the 1970s and 80s country icon left behind a pretty bada** legacy. Born on September 6, 1939, the Ohio native etched his name into country music history thanks to his hits like “You Never Even Called Me By My Name,” “If…

Given the undeniably infectious charm of their first co-headlining show in Athens this past weekend, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan are keeping the momentum going with their brand new Double Down tour. The two Georgia natives took to social media this morning to announce the extension of their Sanford Stadium Saturday, April 25 show, where they surprised the crowd with an unprecedented layout of sharing the stage throughout the night. Per their caption, it was inevitable to run it back once more: “We had so much fun the first time, we had to do it again.” Highlighting the same intro…

Georgia’s finest, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, teamed up for an epic co-headlining concert this past weekend that not only rocked the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium, but also cemented a historic night for the venue. Throwing things back to their initial 2013 Athens show, in which Bryan was the opener for Aldean’s Night Train Tour, the two returned to Sanford Stadium as just the second concert, and the only artists to ever perform there. Obviously, returning 13 years later, with over 30 number-one singles each, it only felt fitting that they shook things up by sharing the stage in…
