NEWS AND NOTES: Chris Stapleton, Sam Hunt, Lady Antebellum, Eric Church

Chris Stapleton is set to perform on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday (August 18th).

Sam Hunt
 will perform on NBC’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (August 18th).

Sam Hunt‘s previous No. 1 single, ‘Take Your Time,’ has been certified double platinum by the R.I.A.A. for sales of more than two million.

As announced last week, Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley will soon become a daddy. The baby is due next Spring. Charles and his wife Cassie (who has a lifestyle blog Womanista, which broke the news of the preganancy) were married in 2009.

Eric Church made a surprise appearance at Charlie Daniels’ 40th Anniversary Volunteer Jam last week in Nashville. “Charlie Daniels was a giant influence in my musical DNA,” Church said after the performance. “What he has done with the Volunteer Jam is honorable. What he has done in music is iconic. He is a gentleman and a patriot, and it was my honor to be in his presence.” The show, which also featured performances by Ted Nugent, Billy Ray Cyrus, Wynonna, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alabama and Tracy Lawrence, was a benefit for U.S. military and veterans through The Journey Home Project.
