• LUKE BRYAN PERFORMS NATIONAL ANTHEM AT GAME FOUR OF THE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS BETWEEN THE NASHVILLE PREDATORS AND THE CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS.

     

    Luke Bryan sang the National Anthem prior to Game Four of the Stanley Cup Playoffs Western Division between the Nashville Predators and Chicago Blackhawks Thursday night (April 20th). Luke surprised the crowd dressed in blue and gold, just like Carrie Underwood did before Game Three.

     

    On his way  off the ice, popular Preds fan and Country Music Hall of Famer Vince Gill came over to shake his hand. Carrie, who is married to Preds captain Mike Fisher, gave Luke a shout-out following his performance.

    Dierks Bentley also showed up to show his support to Nashville’s NHL Team, as well as to his buddy Luke. They seemed to have a good time at the game.

     

    The Preds are currently leading the series 3 – 0. We’ll find out tonight if they move to the next round or go to Game Five.

  • LUKE BRYAN WILL PERFORM HIS NEW NO. 1 SINGLE, ‘FAST,’ ON THE ACM AWARDS.

    Luke Bryan climbed to the top of both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country charts with “Fast,” which is the sixth consecutive No. 1 single from his current album, Kill the Lights.

    Luke will perform the chart-topping single on tonight’s (Sunday) ACM Awards, which he says will be a great experience. “I remember going to town going, ‘Could I ever perform on one of the major awards shows?’ And I will never forget my very first awards show I ever attended was the ACMs, and I just sat back as a young artist dreaming of that moment and a short time later I’m onstage hosting,” says Luke. “So, certainly, whenever you can walk out on a stage and perform a song that has done really well for you and hopefully do a great job. It’s a great experience. I mean, it’s what I live for as an entertainer. It’s what I moved to Nashville and followed my dreams for.”

    Luke is nominated for the ACM Entertainer of the Year, as well as co-hosting the show with his friend, Dierks Bentley. Catch Luke and Dierks at the 52nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which will be broadcast live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Sunday (April 2nd) at 8pm ET/delayed PT on CBS.

  • LUKE BRYAN ‘ANGLES’ FOR TIME WITH HIS KIDS.

    Earlier this week, Luke Bryan had a day off and he spent it fishing with his kids and some friends. He relishes the time he devotes to spending with his boys while angling for the big catch, like he did with his own father while growing up.

    “When I look back on my experiences as a kid with my dad, at the top of those lists are always moments that I spent in the outdoors with him. When you’re in a fishing boat with your child for four or five hours, you just can’t replicate that time in any other, I mean, it’s just perfectly well-spent time, in my opinion,” says Luke. “You know, I worry do I sometimes take ‘em fishing too much and then they’re gonna burn out on fishing, but I fished every day and I hunted a lot, and that just gives you that type of spirit. It gives you an outdoor kind of spirit, and that will carry you through really the rest of your life, and that’s all I really want to do with them.”

    Luke, who is also nominated for ACM Entertainer of the Year, is poised to top the country charts with his latest single, “Fast.”

    Catch Luke and his pal Dierks Bentley when they host the 52nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which will be broadcast live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Sunday (April 2nd) at 8pm ET/delayed PT on CBS.

    Audio / Whenever Luke Bryan has some time off, he goes fishing, and he’s enjoying taking his boys along for the experience.

When I’m an old man and they can look back and go, ‘Thank you, Dad, for putting this time in,’ and always wanting me to come along, and that’s kind of how my dad did it with me. You get to a point in your life where the gift of taking somebody fishing is a very, very neat experience.”
