    Audio / JORDAN DAVIS TALKS ABOUT WRITING HIS TWO-WEEK NO. 1 SMASH, "NEXT THING YOU KNOW."

    Download

    Jordan Davis (writing Next Thing You Know) OC: …song is today. :59
    “There’s a saying that says ‘raising kids – the days are long, the years are short,’ and that’s what this song is to me. I kind of came in wanting to write something like that, you know kind of a slow down time song, and Greylan had this idea. The idea initially was about going to a bar or going somewhere and meeting somebody and then just the progression of a relationship. I kind of hijacked the title and said, ‘Hey man. I love that title, but we’re going to write it in the sense of having kids, watching ‘em grow up and hopefully becoming a grandparent, you know? Chase McGill and Josh Osborne both have kiddos, and I think they kind of grabbed on it. Greylan, hats off to him. He’s the single kid of the group, so he was like, ‘Man, I’ll go there. I don’t know how much input I can be able to say in this, but I’ll go there with you.’ I mean, he’s a great writer, and it was fun to kind of see the title that he threw out evolve into what the song is today.”

It’s a lot of luck and a lot of stars lining up so, I’m grateful for the moment.”

    Brothers Osborne (CMA Award) OC: …awesome family. :49
    JOHN: “The Duo category can go any which way. I mean, you look at us, comparatively speaking, we’re kind of maybe somewhere in the middle in terms of the numbers. I don’t know what it is (laughs), I don’t know why we’re holding these up here, but it’s super rad and I’m definitely going to put this on my mantel. You know, I think one of the most amazing pieces of advice I was ever given was to work hard and be nice to people, and I think that’s why we have these. We work really hard and we try to be respectful to everyone around us. And one of the things I love about the country music genre is it’s family and we’re all really, really close. We’re all a bunch of misfits thrown together. We’re all a little different, but we love one another and respect one another, and I’m just honored for the both of us to be part of this awesome family.”

    Carrie Underwood (CMA Entertainer nod) OC: …that category. :47
    “It is, I mean, obviously such an honor to be nominated in Entertainer of the Year. Obviously, that’s such a tough category to be in, ‘cause there’s just so, I don’t even want to call it competition, there’s just so many hard working artists out there that are just you know pouring themselves and their time and their energy and their love and their artistry into what they do. You know, obviously just to even be in the final category is just absolutely amazing and hopefully, above all, we can all just remember that it’s a celebration of a great year in country music and in our careers as artists, so we’ll just see what happens, but definitely excited to be in that category.”

    “I wrote ‘Give Her That’ with David Garcia and Lydia Vaughan, and it was one of those songs I feel like we had to play with it quite a bit when we were in the studio because it’s a surprisingly hard song to sing. So, we were messing with keys and tempos honestly longer than we probably should have (laughs), but I wanted to get it perfect, and it was just an interesting puzzle to figure out.”

  • CARRIE UNDERWOOD ENJOYS BEING “THE FOOTBALL LADY.”

    As previously announced, Carrie Underwood will star in the show open for NBC’s Sunday Night Football for the 11th consecutive season beginning September 10th on NBC and Peacock.

    The new show open – headlined by an updated rendition of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” – features a concert performance interspersed with augmented reality highlights displayed across a halo scoreboard. Underwood, who performed the open from The Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, home of her ongoing residency, REFLECTION, also adds a surprise new element this season.

    She is so excited to be back to help folks get “hyped up for the games.”

    “I am so honored and consider myself so blessed to have been a part of Sunday Night Football for so many years. This will be my 11th year of performing the show opener, and we have so much fun with it,” says Carrie. “I love that too in a small extent, I feel I’ve become synonymous with some Sunday Night Football. I get people coming up to me all the time and say that they love the open, and I’ve had players come up to me and they’re like, ‘Thank you for getting everybody hyped up for the games,’ and I have kids coming up and they’re like, ‘You’re the football lady!’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I am.’ So (laughs), it’s a such a cool cultural thing. It’s the No. 1 show on television. I’m very happy and excited to just get to play a small part of it.”

    The show open for Sunday Night Football, primetime television’s No. 1 program for an unprecedented 12 consecutive years, will debut on Sunday, September 10th on NBC and Peacock leading into Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys visiting Daniel Jones and the NFC East rival New York Giants.

    Underwood’s eclectic set, backed by her stellar 8-piece band, included unique mash-ups and covers by some of Underwood’s longtime rock inspirations such as Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Heart, while also covering other crowd-pleasing favorites by Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Motörhead. The enthusiastic crowd also sang along to Underwood’s smash hits, as well as newer tracks from her most recent album, Denim & Rhinestones.

    During Guns N’ Roses headlining set, Underwood joined the iconic rock legends for their classic hit “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and was invited back again to the stage for the night’s final number, the anthemic “Paradise City.”

    She told us prior to her first show with GNR, “I think the things I look forward to most are obviously, like watching their show (laughs) and being around them, but it’s just such a fun vibe. Their fans are absolutely incredible and so supportive and just have been so much fun everything that I’ve seen from them. But also looking forward to just doing some things in our set list that I might not get the chance to do any other time. I wanted to be me, but I also wanted to bridge the gap between me and Guns N’ Roses a little bit, so we’re just having a blast with it. I’m doing some cover songs of some rock stuff that I love. I’m mashing up some of my songs with some other songs. We just look at it as an opportunity to be creative and get to do something we’ve never done before; just have a good time with it.”

    She will join Axl and the guys again on Tuesday (August 8th) in Montreal, Quebec, as well as a show on August 26th in Nashville at GEODIS Park.

  • LIFELONG FAN CARRIE UNDERWOOD HITS THE ROAD WITH GUNS N’ ROSES.

    Carrie Underwood joins her favorite rock band, Guns N’ Roses, for a handful of dates on the North American leg of the group’s 2023 Global Tour beginning Saturday (August 5th) in Moncton, New Brunswick, followed by an August 8th stop in Montreal, Quebec and a show on August 26th in Nashville at GEODIS Park.

    Carrie has performed Guns N’ Roses songs during her shows for years, lately “Welcome To The Jungle.” Lead singer Axl Rose surprised the crowd at Stagecoach in 2022 where the pair sang “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City.” She then joined the band in the U-K for their London show to perform those same songs. Axl once again appeared as a surprise guest on Carrie’s L.A. stop on her recent Denim & Rhinestones Tour.

    The Oklahoma native, who cites Axl as a musical influence, is stoked to be opening for the legendary group. “I’m super excited to get to open a few shows for Guns N’ Roses,” says Carrie. “Of course, I’ve been a massive GNR fan for pretty much my whole life. I’ve been able to sing with Guns N’ Roses and Axl separately a few times.”

    Not only will she be able to watch the group’s show every night on the road, but she’ll also get to throw in some new song mashups and rock cover songs she doesn’t get a chance to do in her own headlining shows. “I think the things I look forward to most are obviously, like watching their show (laughs) and being around them, but it’s just such a fun vibe. Their fans are absolutely incredible and so supportive and just have been so much fun everything that I’ve seen from them,” Carrie says. “But also looking forward to just doing some things in our set list that I might not get the chance to do any other time. I wanted to be me, but I also wanted to bridge the gap between me and Guns N’ Roses a little bit, so we’re just having a blast with it. I’m doing some cover songs of some rock stuff that I love. I’m mashing up some of my songs with some other songs. We just look at it as an opportunity to be creative and get to do something we’ve never done before; just have a good time with it. So, hopefully, my fans that are at the shows will see things that they’ve never seen and hear things that they’ve never heard in a really cool way, and then also even if there’s people out there who have no idea what I do, hopefully, they’ll really enjoy seeing us before Guns N’ Roses and just have fun with us too. So, it’s an opportunity for new creative things to happen, and I’m excited about it.”

    Carrie, who is making her way up the country charts with “Out Of That Truck,” will release the deluxe version of her 2022 album, Denim & Rhinestones, on September 22nd. The collection features six new songs, including her latest single.

    Fans can also catch her on the small screen in the show open for NBC’s Sunday Night Football for the 11th consecutive season beginning September 10th on NBC and Peacock.
