Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott has successfully integrated daughter Eisele into the road life with her and her husband, Lady A drummer Chris Tyrrell. It took some of her own preferences and the advice of other “road moms” such as Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman, to make it all work. Now, Hillary is passing on some advice of her own to expectant mom Carrie Underwood.

“She just asked me about like the bus setup, things I would change or things I loved about how we worked the way our bus is laid out for Eisele to sleep on it and be comfortable. It was just a really like honest expectant mom/new mom conversation,” says Hillary. “I was like, ‘If you have any questions I will get into as many details as you want,’ ’cause we’re like really good friends… it’s just nice to have a sounding board to make you feel like you’re not alone. It’s been fun to walk her through the season and she’s just gonna be an amazing mom and Mike (Fisher) a dad. I mean, she’s, she’s wonderful.”

Lady Antebellum is currently making their way up the country charts with their latest single, “Freestyle.”

Nashville, TN – Canaan Smith will release his highly anticipated debut EP March 24th on Mercury Records Nashville.

“No Surprise here – Indy loves Canaan! With a catchy hook and lyrics every woman gets, it’s no wonder ‘Love You Like That’ is a ripe hit!”
– Fritz Moser, PD WLHK Indianapolis

“This morning the first song I heard was ‘Love You Like That’ ……I just knew it sounded like a hit. The song sounds killer on the air”

The creation of music, the whole process, has been so close to me for so many years that I feel like I’ve developed my own sound. It’s not super predictable. It’s unique, progressive and edgy.” says Canaan.

Sam Hunt is paying tribute to the ladies of the ‘90s during his Lipstick Graffiti Tour. He’s performing hits from such female hitmakers as Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Wynonna, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.

“A lot of the songs are songs that come from an era of country music that I grew up listening to, and just judging the fan base that we’ve had so far and the people who are coming out, they seem to have similar musical interests. It seems like they grew up probably listening to a lot of the same things I grew up listening to, and a lot of these female country singers doing their thing in the ‘90s when I was listening to country music,” says Sam. “It was kind of something I wanted to [do]; I don’t know if you’d call it a nod to that era and those great female artists who meant so much to me growing up, and to kind of acknowledge all that great music. And there’s gonna be some R&B we’ll do as well from some of the female artists that came up doing it in that genre.”

The next date on Sam’s Lipstick Graffiti Tour, featuring Native Run as openers, is Thursday (February 19th) in Knoxville, Tennessee, followed by shows in Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

Sam, who is up for ACM New Artist of the Year, is scaling the country charts with his latest single, “Take Your Time.”

The members of Lady Antebellum are getting packed and ready to head overseas for the unofficial kickoff of their Wheels Up Tour. The trek launches February 28th in Oslo, Norway, followed by shows in Sweden, Ireland, Scotland and London, before heading Down Under to Australia March 13th. The European leg will feature openers Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert and Kip Moore.

“It’ll be the only time ever that Jason Aldean opens up for us,” jokes Lady A’s Dave Haywood. “Because he’s coming over – I think it’s his first trip to Europe. But we were laughing. We were like, ‘This’ll never happen again – Jason playing before us.’”

The band does feel very comfortable with their crowds overseas. “We’ve been going over there for probably six years , and London and Dublin, I think especially, and then we’ve also had amazing shows in Norway too,” explains Dave. “Australia kind of feels, you know, a little more familiar, but the fans are just nuts. They know stuff from the first record that were just album cuts, and they sing it out loud in a big accent or whatever, and it’s a really cool thing.”

They’ll begin the North American leg on May 1st in Lubbock, Texas. The tour will continue through the fall with Hunter Hayes and red-hot newcomer Sam Hunt.

Lady A’s latest single, “Freestyle,” is making its way up the country charts. The song is from their recent album, 747.

Josh Turner has realized several dreams, including having a recording contract, No. 1 songs and being able to sing for a living. However, one of his biggest dreams to come true is that of father.

“It’s something that I’ve always desired. It’s something I’ve always wanted. Jennifer [my wife] and I both have always wanted children, and having the children now and having them be a part of your life and knowing that I’m responsible for them and their life and teaching them things, just a lot of different aspects of life, great for me,” says Josh. “It’s very fulfilling.”

Josh is the father of four boys — Hampton, Colby, Marion and Hawke (who was born in September).

Josh is currently climbing the country charts with his latest single, “Lay Low,” which is from his forthcoming album, due out later this year.

Lauren Alaina was among the artists doing surprise serenades on Valentine’s Day. Uber users in Music City could order a serenade on demand on Saturday, and it was all for a good cause.

“This is the best Valentine’s Day I ever had. I’m not kidding because love is what it’s all about and I feel like my heart is going to explode right now. So many people are smiling. I went to this church and sang. It was like the coolest day ever,” Alaina explained.  The singer also played at the VA hospital as part of the Uber deal.  The intimate performances only cost $30 and proceeds went to support Musicians On Call, an organization that brings music to hospital patients.

Love & Theft and Gavin DeGraw also performed for Musicians On Call, as well.

Darius Rucker will once again take on Big Band tunes in a one-night show at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on Tuesday (February 17th). The concert benefits the MUSC Children’s Hospital Fund, a non-profit organization that helps provide the best possible healthcare experience for MUSC’s youngest patients and their families.

Luke Bryan enjoyed his time as Grand Marshal of the Endymion parade and headlined the huge post-parade Extravaganza at the Superdome several hours later. Pals Willie and Korie Robertson (Duck Dynasty) joined Luke and his wife Caroline for some of the festivities.

Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley won a closest-to-the-pin contest and assured a victory for Team Clint Eastwood during the 3M Celebrity Challenge at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last week in Pebble Beach, California. Jake Owen, Rascal Flatts’ Joe Don Rooney and Clay Walker also played in the tournament.

Sam Hunt shot the video for his latest hit, “Take Your Time,” last week in Nashville.

Vince Gill and his lovely wife Amy Grant will return to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium for eight Christmas shows this year beginning December 2nd. Tickets are now on sale through Ticketmaster.

Eric Church and his wife Katerine are expecting to welcome their second child – a boy – any minute, and they’re excited about him joining their family, including three-year-old Boone. Eric says his oldest son has prepared him to be a parent.

“I think Boone has prepared us for what parenting is – being a parent. Especially early on, the stuff with Boone was so foreign, and we were so stressed out about it. We’re not as much this time” says Church. “I think the good part of that is we kind of know what to expect, you know, and what that’s gonna be. So, it’ll be interesting to see how different they are and get to meet him and see where the differences lie AND the similarities between the two.”

Church is getting ready to hit the airwaves with his latest single, “Like a Wrecking Ball,” from The Outsiders album.

Shania Twain is set to release her live CD and DVD next month. Shania: Still the One Live From Vegas will include a deluxe edition 18-track CD and DVD and is set for release March 3rd.

Shania held a residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for two years that ended this past December. After going through some difficult times and having a few voice issues a few years ago, she pushed her fears aside and booked her Vegas gig, giving herself a deadline to put it all together.

“I guess I was just ready to be reinvigorated and to test myself, test my limits, take myself out of my comfort zone,” Shania explains. “I was feeling a little bit insecure just before I jumped into the Vegas situation, and I thought, ‘Well, maybe I need to just jar myself a little bit and take something really new and exciting on, and take the chance that maybe I’ll have a really great time and learn some new things about myself and put my voice to the test, as well.’”

“It gave me a goal, and I thought if I put myself under pressure and gave myself a timeline, something as demanding as a Las Vegas at Caesar’s Palace (laughs), maybe that will really force me into dealing with my voice problems,” she says. “So, I put that pressure on myself, took on the show, and it really worked. I guess it was sort of personal and professional therapy really.”
