The group, who is making their way to the top of the country charts with “You Look Good,” will take their tour to Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday (July 27th), followed by dates in Tampa and West Palm Beach later this weekend.

On July 24th, 2010, Luke Bryan’s “Rain is a Good Thing” climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart. The Georgia native, a son of a peanut farmer, co-wrote the tune with his dear friend Dallas Davidson (“Country Girl,” “That’s My Kind of Night,” “All About Tonight,” “Gimme That Girl”), based on a saying they’d have back in college.

“Rain makes corn/corn makes whiskey/whiskey makes my baby/feel a little frisky.”

“The song came about from strictly an old saying that me and my co-writer [Dallas Davidson] in college, we’d have something planned and we’d get bummed out by the rain,” says Luke. “We’d be like, ‘Well, rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey,” and we’d never even said the frisky line. We actually made that up in the writing session.”

Luke hits the festival circuit this week with a date during Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming on Wednesday (July 26th), followed by a show Friday (July 28th) in Central Point, Oregon and a performance during the Mountain Home Music Festival on Saturday (July 29th).

Shania Twain released “Poor Me” for purchase today. The song is a track from her highly anticipated upcoming album, NOW.  Shania recently released the full deluxe track listing for the upcoming Sep. 29th release to eager fans. “Poor Me” is another glimpse into NOW which was solely written by and co-produced by Shania. Also, released today is the brand new lyric video for “Poor Me” which can be viewed below. Offered as both a 16-track deluxe and a 12-track standard album, both versions of NOW will feature Shania’s debut single, “Life’s About To Get Good” and “Poor Me.” Shania co-produced her upcoming record with four producers across the 16 tracks including Matthew Koma, Ron Aniello (Bruce Springsteen, Gavin DeGraw), Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes) and Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Norah Jones).

Shania discusses being the sole songwriter of her new music, “I’m a songwriter first. That absolutely drives everything. It was a big step toward independence. I pushed myself, knowing it was going to scare me and knowing that I, alone, was responsible for however it turned out. I love collaborating, but I didn’t want any emotional, psychological, or musical influence. The minute you invite somebody into that space, you’re influenced. And then it wouldn’t be me. It wouldn’t be pure. This may be the purest work I ever do.”

Kip Moore revealed the cover for his upcoming third studio album SLOWHEART, available Sept. 8.  Moore, who was inspired to name the release after his fiercely loyal fans who have adopted the name SLOWHEART themselves and who “defines himself by his honesty, which feeds directly into his music, which earned him a fan base of die-hards and helped make him a breakout star in Nashville,” (Washington Post) gave fans the opportunity to view and share the album cover first via social media. The cover image, taken in Costa Rica during Kip’s extended break earlier this year, speaks to the personal nature of the collection which Rolling Stone praises for its “gut-punch of a vintage album, the vocals out front and clear as crystal.”

“My former guitar player called me a ‘slowheart’ many years ago, claiming I don’t just jump the gun and show all my cards or my emotions on what I truly feel,” said Moore. “He always said ‘you’re a slowheart, man…you observe before you act.’ I eventually named the band the slowhearts, and my fans are the slowhearts too. And so, its only fitting that the record I’ve been waiting to make, was named SLOWHEART.”

Co-written by Moore, his current Top 15 single and the lead track “More Girls Like You,” is the fastest rising single of his career so far and is receiving praise from critics such as Entertainment Weekly declaring he “has made a name for himself weaving vignettes of Southern, blue-collar life and love into rollicking country anthems.” As he “consistently serves up clever roots-rock riffs and rhythms that separate Moore from the rock-meets-rap focus of his Nashville peers” (Associated Press), the release of “More Girls Like You” follows the acclaim that surrounded his sophomore album WILD ONES heralded as “an impressively singular release from Music Row” by The Guardian. Moore first turned heads with his debut album UP ALL NIGHT which was certified GOLD by the RIAA and spawned three No. One hit singles including GOLD certified “Beer Money,” PLATINUM certified “Hey Pretty Girl,” and the DOUBLE PLATINUM breakout hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck. Following an extended break, Moore is back out on the road playing some of country music’s biggest festivals this year, as well as headlining dates in U.K this fall stopping in Birmingham, UK (10/2), Manchester, UK (10/3), Glasgow, UK (10/4) and culminating in a special show as part of Country Music Week in London, UK at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 10/6. Moore will also return to Ireland later this summer for Harvest 2017, stopping in Westport, IE (8/26) and Enniskillen, IE (8/27.) For more information and a fill list of tour dates, visit kipmoore.net.

Kip Moore is looking forward to releasing his new album, Slowheart, on September 8th. He feels the album will showcase his personal journey over the past year.

“I definitely feel like with this record as a whole, you’re definitely going to get a very clear understanding of where it’s all gone from one record to the other and where I was at at this particular stage of my life and the things that affected me to write this record,” says Kip. “You’re definitely going to get a sense of where I’ve been at for the last year, year and a half in my life as this goes.”

Featured on the new album is Kip’s latest Top 15 hit, “More Girls Like You.”

The movie is based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots – a group of elite firefighters, otherwise known as the Seal Team 6 of firefighters, who battle out of control wildfires. The feature film focuses mainly on the men who fought and subsequently lost to the tragic Yarnell Hill wildfire, which burned a wide swath through Arizona in 2013, killing 19 firefighters.

Only the Brave, starring Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Taylor Kitsch, Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Connelly, hits theaters nationwide October 20th.

The Arizona native is currently making his way up the country charts with “What the Hell Did I Say.”

New EMI Nashville recording artist Brandon Lay just released his debut single, “Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers,” and the song is based on how he grew up in West Tennessee.

“Growing up in Jackson, Tennessee, my life revolved around playing sports and going to church,” says Brandon. “Country music was always coming through the speakers, and my mom had great taste in music. She was a school teacher, and I grew up a preacher’s kid. My dad was in the ministry. We were in church or school every time the doors were open and when we weren’t doing that, life kind of revolved around sports – football, baseball, basketball.”

Brandon debuted 2-pack of songs called SPEAKERS was released to streaming platforms on July 7th. The 2-pack includes the lead single “Speakers, Bleachers, and Preachers” and “Let It.” Only two weeks after the release, “Speakers, Bleachers, and Speakers” became one of the most viral tracks in the U-S, appearing on Spotify’s United States Viral 50 playlist. The song continues to climb the viral charts as Brandon tours across the US.

Keith, who is currently making his way up to the top of the country charts with his latest single “The Fighter” featuring Carrie Underwood, says making an album for him is a relatively organic process. “[I like to] get in the studio and I want to feel just really enraptured with a song to get in there and figure it out with the band and watch it sort of blossom.” He adds, “After we’ve recorded them all, it seems apparent which ones should make it to the record, which ones should be bonus tracks and figuring out the sequencing.”

Keith will hit the stage in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan Thursday (July 19th) and Twin Lakes, Wisconsin on Friday.

Brothers Osborne have been catching some rays as they’ve been working in the studio on the follow-up to their debut album, Pawn Shop.

“So, we went down to Florida, just to get out of Nashville and kinda clear our heads a little bit, with Jay Joyce our producer, and we shacked up in a beach house. You know, we intended on maybe leaving with anywhere between six to eight songs, and we ended up recording 11 songs,” says John Osborne. “I can’t come out and say that we’ve finished our record, but we got pretty damn close if we didn’t finish.”

John goes on to say that he really likes the new music and can’t wait for the fans to hear it. “I feel very, very, very good about this record that we did. And I know everyone says that about their new music and that’s cliché or whatever. I actually really like our record! And man, I can’t wait to play it for everybody.”

Brothers Osborne are sitting inside the Top 15 on the country charts with their latest hit, “It Ain’t My Fault.” The guys hit the fair circuit this weekend with shows in Hartington, Nebraska on Saturday (July 22^nd) and Minot, North Dakota on Sunday.
