The Twin Lakes is in for yet another weekend filled with good ‘ole country music this July. Lucky for Wisconsinites, Country Thunder has officially announced its full lineup for its 31st year in the Badger State, bringing fans an extensive list of some of country music’s biggest and rising stars. Appropriately coined as North America’s largest country music brand, Country Thunder is keeping its hot streak going from its recently announced Arizona festival with another stellar weekend set for July 15 through the 18, featuring well over 30 artists. Starting off strong with Mr. Saturday Night himself, Jon Pardi will…

Oh boy, is the internet a messy place today. Thanks to some troll’s TikTok comment on Turnpike frontman’s Evan Felker’s wife’s page, we’ve officially rehashed nearly decade-old drama. For those who aren’t aware of the messy love triangle situation from back in 2018, I’ve got you covered… The story goes, Evan and his wife Staci were married for about two years (September 2016 – August 2018) before US Weekly broke the news in April 2018 that the “7&7” singer was dating Texas native Miranda Lambert. At the time, the two were spending a lot of time together thanks to the…

This year’s political race has somehow continued to find itself intertwined in the country music scene. In an effort to appeal to younger generations and capitalize on the ever-growing popularity of TikTok trends, politicians have increasingly turned to using popular artists’ music in their social media content, and even making appearances at their concerts. One of the most frequent users of this strategy is President Donald Trump, whose affiliated social media accounts, including his personal page, the official White House account, and his campaign account, @TeamTrump, regularly incorporate trending music into their posts. Each page seems to roll out new…

At this point, I’m convinced Dolly Parton must have set aside an entire week to sit in a studio and record every video message imaginable in preparation for her passing. Despite her heartbreaking death this past August at the age of 80 following a brief battle with cancer, the country music legend has made one thing abundantly clear: her legacy lives on, and apparently, so does her ability to make an appearance at just about every major event. Over the past two months, Parton posthumously accepted her Lifetime Achievement Award at the Americana Music Honors, announced the opening of her…

With both Cody Johnson and Parker McCollum sacrificing a little of their hunting season to perform across the UK and Ireland throughout late October and into November, it was only a matter of time before their overseas tour fueled some epic onstage collaborations. Johnson, a 2026 CMA Entertainer of the Year nominee, kicked off his international run this past Saturday (October 24), bringing fellow Texas native McCollum along for the six-show stretch. Last night, the two continued their mission of bringing some d*mn good country music across the pond, taking the stage at London’s iconic O2 Arena. Luckily for fans…

WARNING: a sense of humor is actually needed to digest these jokes. Let me also just preface this trip down memory lane by saying that back in 2009 you could get away with saying a lot more crazy statements than you’ll typically find on TV today. Not to mention, if you’ve never seen a Comedy Central Roast, the whole point of the show is to say the most outlandish things you can think of (all in good fun, of course). The TV series was around for about 16 years, and as far as I know, beloved late “Red Solo Cup”…
