    Little Big Town

    The members of Little Big Town are excited to host the inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards this Thursday night (September 28th).

    “I think what we’re looking forward to most in the People’s Choice Country Awards are bringing the party to Nashville, first of all. It’s the first-ever of this,” says LBT’s Jimi Westbrook. “Coming to the Opry, bringing them to the historical home of country music, and the performances. It’s always a fun night when we get everybody from the genre together and hang out and celebrate each other.”

    While they are unable to reveal what fans can expect, Phillip Sweet says it’s going to be a night that makes folks feel good. “I don’t know what we can reveal other than it’s going to be a feel-good night, and it’s going to feel like coming back home in a way. And I think people just need this kind of energy right now, like seeing the new and the fresh and what’s happening, and also honoring Wynonna, honoring Toby Keith and seeing how, at the Grand Ole Opry, all that history, you’re going to feel that energy, and that’s what I’m excited about too.”

    Little Big Town isn’t just hosting the show, but the group is also nominated Group/Duo of 2023.

    Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton lead Universal Music Group Nashville’s list of nominees for the inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards.

    Carrie has three nods for the fan-voted show, including Female Artist of 2023, Social Country Star of 2023 and Concert Tour of 2023  for her Denim & Rhinestones Tour.

    Chris is also nominated in three categories, including Collaboration Song of 2023 for “We Don’t Fight Anymore” w/ Carly Pearce, Crossover Song of 2023 with “Just Say I’m Sorry” with P!NK and  Concert Tour of 2023 for his All American Road Show.

    Priscilla Block picks up two nominations for New Artist of 2023 and Collaboration Song of 2023 with the No. 1 song “You, Me, And Whiskey” w/ Justin Moore.

    Brothers Osborne, Little Big Town, Maddie & Tae and The War And Treaty are all nominated for Group/Duo of 2023.

    During the show, Toby Keith will be presented with the Country Icon Award by fellow Okie Blake Shelton, and Wynonna will receive the Country Champion Award.

  • GEORGE STRAIT AND CHRIS STAPLETON EXTEND RUN OF STADIUM SHOWS, NEW DATES ADDED FOR 2024.

    Chris Stapleton / George Strait / Little Big Town

    Setting venue attendance records across seven stadium shows this summer, country music icon George Strait and eight-time GRAMMY winner Chris Stapleton continue the excitement into 2024 with nine new dates. Also returning alongside the King of Country and Stapleton for the extended run of one-off stadium dates are special guests and GRAMMY Award-winning band Little Big Town.

    In addition to summer shows in Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Ames, Charlotte, East Rutherford, Salt Lake City, Detroit and Chicago, Strait will also supersize his longstanding Strait to Vegas show with a December date at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium to mark the 37th installment of the engagement.

     

    Tickets to most shows go on sale next Friday, September 22nd at 10am local time via GeorgeStrait.com, with tickets to the Jacksonville show on sale Friday, October 20th at 10am local time. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Friday, September 15th at 10am local time through Thursday, September 21st at 10pm local time.

    Of the few opportunities to see Strait perform live, Pollstar opines, “Strait remains the most worthy inheritor of Merle Haggard or Willie Nelson’s mantle of country icon through the meaningful fluidity with which he moves through country’s various sub-strains with the same ease and enjoyment that marked both men’s Country Music Hall of Fame careers.”

    “I’ve always said we have the best fans in the world, and to see so many of them show up for these shows just makes us want to keep bringing them more,” shares Strait. “I’ve also missed performing in Las Vegas during NFR, so I’m happy to see that show come together in 2024. See you soon!”

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

    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.”

    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.”

    “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.”
