Hoping to use these family ties to her advantage, she even wrote the “Something Like That” singer a letter at the age of 18, along with a demo CD. While the snail mail apparently…

One of the pinnacle moments of Chris Stapleton’s career was no doubt his career-defining performance at the 49th Annual Country Music Awards, held back in November 2015. During the night, Stapleton took the stage at the Bridgestone Arena alongside none other than Justin Timberlake for an incredible standout rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey” and “Drink You Away.” The live medley of Stapleton’s covered classic and Timberlake’s 2013 hit absolutely catapulted the Kentucky native into a whole other planet of fame. Not only did the unexpected duo lead to a massive increase in album sales for Stapleton and make him an even…

Morgan Wallen once again let his instincts get the best of him at his recent Friday night, June 5, show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

You can’t go wrong with a classic Keith Whitley cover, especially when you have vocals like Jamey Johnson. The 50-year-old singer-songwriter recently celebrated the four-year anniversary of his Grand Ole Opry Induction with a special show at the legendary Nashville venue on May 15. While the night’s main focus was on showcasing the 11-time-Grammy-nominated artist’s massive career, he also took a moment to honor recently passed fellow Opry member and songwriter, Don Schiltz.
