Luke Bryan will release his final Spring Break album, Spring Break…Checkin’ Out, Tuesday (March 10th). The collection will contain five new, original songs all co-written by Luke, plus all six songs from last year’s EP.  Luke’s collection of all six previous Spring Break releases combined have over 1.1 million sales to date.

He’ll follow the release of his Spring Break album with two free shows at Spinnaker Beach Club in Panama City Beach March 11th and 12th. He says the shows on the beach will be one of the things he misses most since this is his final year.

“I sleep on the bus during Spring Break. I wake up, open up the blinds and the sun is out, drink some coffee. Most of the time I’m kicking a hangover.  And just watching the day kind of get going, watch everybody start piling in on the beach about 3,” says Luke. “Just being there, being around – being around people having the time of their life is inspiring, and that’s definitely what I’ll miss, watching the fans just make memories that will last forever with them.”

Over 230,000 fans came out for last year’s shows.

Subscribers to CMA Exclusive, CMA’s e-newsletter, were the first to learn about the star-studded lineup Wednesday morning. “CMA Music Festival is all about the fan experience,” said CMA Chief Executive Officer Sarah Trahern. “Our fans snapped up LP Field tickets at a record pace, and we wanted to reward that loyalty by sharing this exciting lineup with them first this morning.”   While the relationship between artists and fans is the foundation for the event, CMA Music Festival benefits music education programs for children in need. Wednesday morning, Thomas Rhett welcomed guests to Nashville Children’s Theatre for a performance of “Jack’s Tale: A Mythic Mountain Musical,” which was funded by a $10,000 grant from the CMA Foundation from the 2014 CMA Music Festival. Threats of snow in Nashville prevented a majority of students from attending, but he warmly greeted the enthusiastic crowd. “When I was little I was in a play called ‘A Christmas Carol’. I was Scrooge,” Thomas Rhett told the student-filled crowd. “Music education was super important for me, and today was a good reminder of how neat it is to see the Country Music community band together to help give back to that through CMA Fest.” The CMA Foundation presents grants on behalf of the artists who perform at CMA Music Festival each year for free and has donated more than $11 million to music education initiatives across the country since 2006.

Most recently, Shania performed 105 shows during her two-year Las Vegas residency, Shania: Still The One, beginning on December 1, 2012 at The Colosseum at Ceasars Palace and wrapping in December of 2014.

Shania Twain 2015 Summer Tour
Opening acts include Wes Mack from June 5 – June 28, and Gavin DeGraw from June 30 – August 23

Shania Twain is launching her first tour in 11 years, she announced on ABC’s Good Morning America, and she says it’ll be her last one. Shania spent the past couple years in residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas (her run ended in December), and she’s ready to hit the road! The Rock This Country Tour – which she has deemed a “celebration tour,” will kick off June 5^th in Seattle, followed by a string of homecoming dates in her native Canada. Then, she’ll head back across the border with stops in New York City, Boston, Miami, Washington, D.C, Philadelphia, Nashville and many other major cities, before wrapping up in Fresno, California, just a few days before Shania’s 50th birthday in August.

“I look forward to having even more flexibility and more spontaneity in the show.  And the production will be entirely different than what we did in Vegas because now we have more options being in a different type of space that we can explore and play around with.  So I’m going to have fun with that,” says Shania. “And also  reconnecting with a bigger audience and the vibe of that is a bit more of a party atmosphere I guess.  It’s like a party every night.”

Tickets for the Rock This Country tour will go on sale to fans on Tuesday, March 10th, and to the general public on Friday, March 13th.

The opening acts on Shania’s tour will be Canadian actor-singer Wes Mack from June 5th – June 28th; and Gavin DeGraw from June 30th – August 23rd.

Shania Twain released her Still the One Live From Las Vegas collection, which it includes a DVD of the show, behind-the-scenes highlights and CD. She opens the show with her 2002 hit, “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” The reason why she kicked off her Vegas show with it is pretty clear.

“‘I’m Gonna Getcha Good!’ was just a very empowering way to start the show and say I’m in control and this feels really good and I’m at the top of my game here, and I’m ready to kick off this night,” says Shania. “The vocal in the beginning is quite sultry and I wanted to – I didn’t want to come out kicking and screaming. I wanted to come out with a quieter strength with my voice.”

On Wednesday (March 4th), Shania will talk about her new CD and DVD collection on ABC’s Good Morning America, where she will make a big announcement. She’s also set to appear on The Chew on Wednesday, and on What What Happens Live! March 11th.

TIDBIT: The Jonas Brothers covered “I’m Gonna Getcha Good!” for the soundtrack for their film, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

Shania Twain will release her Still the One Live From Las Vegas collection this week, and it includes a DVD of the show itself, plus some behind-the-scenes highlights, in addition to the CD. She says she can’t pick out just one particular favorite moment from the show, but instead, her favorite moment is the entire thing.

“The whole show is my favorite thing as a performer because I…I wrote all of those favorite moments in the show for exactly that reason. I just wanted to have a really wonderful time,” says Shania. “I wanted to surround myself with all the things that I love, the people that I love, a room that I loved. I loved the room. It was gorgeous. All of the songs I loved in the show. I was very careful about picking the song list. I was careful about the order of the song list and how it was going to feel mood wise and how it was all going to roll out. It was very custom made for me, this show, and to make sure that I was going to enjoy myself every night after that.

Shania’s Still the One Live From Las Vegas CD & DVD collection arrives in stores on Tuesday, March 3rd.

Gary Allan is starting to hit the airwaves with his new single, “Hangover Tonight,” a song he co-wrote with Chris Stapleton, Jesse Frasure and Carey Barlowe. The song is the first release from his forthcoming, as-yet-untitled album – the follow-up to the hit album, Set You Free, which included the No. 1 tune, “Every Storm Runs Out of Rain.”

Gary is thrilled for the song to be added to stations across the country and says the feel of the song is a bit of a throwback to his youth. “[I’m] super excited about this single going to radio,” says Gary. “I feel like it’s the fourth or fifth time we’ve re-invented myself, or I have, or just trying to push myself to do different things. I feel like I’ve pushed myself into a very comfortable place for myself, because it’s kind of ‘50s and ‘60s Motown.”

“I was in rockabilly bands my whole life, and to me, it was just a throwback to my youth writing with these guys,” he adds.

Gary’s got a few days off before he heads to Mercedes, Texas for a show on March 13th.
