Following an almost four-month-long hiatus from social media, Morgan Wallen returned this past week with a teasing photo dump captioned, “I guess it’s about time I come out of hibernation for a bit.” Showcasing his pre-tour prep and shots from inside the studio, it was only a matter of time before Wallen made his return with new music to ring in the warmer weather. Almost a year after the May 16, 2025, release of his previous highly successful album, I’m The Problem, the Sneedville native announced he has a new project on the way this summer. Wallen’s upcoming I’m The…

Following the incredible success of his anti-streaming project, Mutiny After Midnight, Sturgill Simpson has just announced a coinciding North American arena tour this fall.

A little over 17 years ago, Brad Paisley was detained outside of Nashville International Airport after landing on his jet at 3:15 a.m. If his previous criminal record isn’t ringing a bell for you, it’s probably because the charges were on account of “excessive noodling.” A crime so fitting that Paisley admitted he was, in fact, guilty for his heavy guitar shredding. Taking a trip down memory lane in honor of April Fools’ Day, this wild prank was all thanks to fellow touring mate and “Who Will Save Your Soul” singer, Jewel. The two hit the road together in 2008…

After three weeks at Disney’s Aulani Resort for the Hollywood rounds, American Idol returned this week with a theme that perfectly suited one of the competition’s leading voices, Hannah Harper. The show hosted its second annual “Songs of Faith” theme night, where the Top 14 contestants were tasked with singing some of their favorite worship songs. Harper, who’s stolen the hearts of America with her sweet melodic vocals and inspiring tale as a mother of three chasing her dreams, is also no stranger to expressing her love for the Lord. Just last week, she dominated the stage with a fiery performance of…

The American Idol top 14 contestants led the crowd in a night of worship for yesterday’s March 30 “Songs of Faith” episode. Ahead of this upcoming Easter Weekend, the show leaned heavily into the religious theme, following the initial cut of 6 contestants announced at the beginning of the show, from the voting at the Hawaii rounds. Luckily, viewers wisely decided to put their bets on 19-year-old Long Island native Jesse Findling, giving him another opportunity to absolutely dominate the stage. Currently a junior at Binghamton University, Findling’s voice is far beyond his years with an effortless vocal run; he…

Ahead of Easter weekend, American Idol is leaning into the holiday with a special “Songs of Faith” theme. Following in the footsteps of last year’s three-hour-long Easter special, the contestants will each take the stage to perform their favorite faith-inspired tracks. Last year, the worship episode also featured special guest appearances from Brandon Lake, Jelly Roll, and Roman Collins, as well as all three judges, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie, singing throughout the night. While no major surprises have been announced for this year’s show, one fan favorite has already offered a preview of what’s to come. Missouri…
