• LUKE BRYAN UNDERGOES SURGERY FOR BROKEN CLAVICLE.

    Luke Bryan went in for surgery for his broken clavicle on Sunday. He tweeted that he was on his way to the doctor on Sunday morning.

    He then followed it up with the X-ray following his surgery, where they had to put some metal in to fuse his bones together.

    His clavicle, though, wasn’t the only injury he suffered during a bicycle accident in Greenback, Tennessee last week.

    Fans worried about his upcoming Farm Tour shows need not fret…he will be in Batesville, Mississippi on Wednesday (October 12th), followed by shows in Prairie Grove, Arkansas (October 13th), Centralia, Missouri (October 14th) and Effingham, Illinois (October 15th).

    Luke is making his way up the country charts with his latest smash, “Move.”

  • LUKE BRYAN BREAKS HIS CLAVICLE IN A BIKING ACCIDENT PRIOR TO HIS FARM TOUR DATE IN GREENBACK, TENNESSEE.

    Even with his arm in a sling, Luke Bryan says the show must go on, and it did. The Farm Tour 2016 got its start in Greenback (near Knoxville), Tennessee on Thursday night, even after Luke Bryan broke his clavicle in a biking accident earlier in the day. He posted a photo of his X-ray on his Twitter  (see below).

     

     

    According to the ABC affiliate WATE, Luken kicked up the dust up before more than 16,000 people at Maple Lane Farms Thursday night and paid tribute to its late founder, Bob Schmidt, who is also honored at the end of Luke’s video for “Here’s to the Farmer,” the title track from his new Farm Tour EP.

    This marks the country superstar’s third stop in Greenback, but it’s the first year without Farmer Bob, who passed away earlier this year after suffering two strokes.

    The Greenback show comes one day after Luke had to cancel the first Farm Tour date in Gaston, South Carolina, due to Hurricane Matthew.

    LB-300x250

    Luke Bryan is set to release his first Farm Tour EP, Here’s to the Farmer, this week. Coinciding with his eighth annual Farm Tour, the collection features five new songs, including the title track. He says the EP, which takes the place of his annual Spring Break releases, is a way for him to get new music to fans.

    “The reason why I wanted to do this Farm Tour EP is hey, we’ve been doing Farm Tours for eight years, and I just wanted the opportunity to kinda put a little soundtrack out there, kind of the same way we did Spring Break, but now we got Farm Tours,” says Luke. “And hey, I’m a studio junkie. I love being in the studio trying to make more music and give fans another take and another aspect of what I want to tell ‘em. So, Farm Tour was the perfect reason to get in there and write some new music, and we hope the fans love it.”

    The Farm Tour kicks off October 5th in Gaston, South Carolina and wraps October 15th in Effingham, Illinois. At each tour stop, a portion of ticket proceeds provide college scholarships

    At each stop, a portion of ticket proceeds provide college scholarships to students from the communities in which he plays who either come from a farming family or plans to major in agriculture.

    Luke has “moved” into the Top 10 on the country charts with his latest single, “Move.”

  • NEWS AND NOTES: Darius, Luke, Chris, Dierks, Eric

    Darius Rucker will sing the national anthem at New Era Field as the Buffalo Bills play host to the New York Jets for Thursday Night Football.

    Luke Bryan and Chris Stapleton, as well as Carrie Underwood, Thomas Rhett and Florida Georgia Line, will be honored as CMT Artists of the Year 2016. The 7th Annual CMT Artists of the Year will air from Nashville on Thursday, October 20th.

    Dierks Bentley and his wife just added to their family. It seems ever since the country star’s beloved Jake passed away, their other dog George, has been very lonely. So, Dierks, his wife and two daughters, Evie and Jordan (son Knox wasn’t with them), went to the Nashville Humane Association and picked out a beautiful female dog. Dierks, who is poised to hit the top of the country charts with “Different for Girls,” caught the family leaving with their new as-yet-to-be-named pup on video and posted it to Twitter.

    Speaking of Dierks, he recently partnered with LyricLink for an app that features more than 100 Dierks emojis and also pulls direct quotes from his songs.

    Eric Paslay is hitting the road this fall for the Angels in This Town 2016 Tour, and he’s taking along his special guest, Lindsay Ell. Go to ericpaslay.com for tour dates and info. He made the announcement on Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday (September 14th).

    Luke Bryan (Farm Tour songs throwback) OC: …record stuff. :48
    “I learned a lot doing the Spring Break albums through the years, so with Farm Tour album, it’s just to have those little nuances of farm-related things. Some of ‘em obviously scream more farm stuff than the others, but at the end of the day, it’s just all about (a) is it a great song that we feel like is worthy of making this EP? And (b) does it kind of go along with that rural [theme]? I kinda think Farm Tours will always have that ruralness, that rural theme. What’s interesting is that a lot of that is what the start of my career was based on, and I think some of my fans from the way back will appreciate, you’ll be able to hear some of that that kind of sounds like my early record stuff.”

    Luke Bryan stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday (September 28th) to talk about his Farm Tour EP, Here’s to the Farmer, and perform his latest single, “Move.” What he didn’t expect was to talk about how many times fans clutch his rear and how his team has invoked a “no butt-touching rule,” or the fact that he would get soaking wet in a game called “Oops! My Water Broke.” Ellen also presented Luke a check for $10,000 from Shutterfly for Luke’s Farm Tour Scholarship Fund. Check out all of the action below.
