During his concert in Jacksonville, Florida last  night, country music superstar Luke Bryan announced he will donate proceeds from his upcoming Estero, Florida concert to the Florida Disaster Fund. Hurricane Ian pushed three of Luke’s “Raised Up Right Tour” dates to next weekend, Nov. 2 in Estero, Nov. 4 in West Palm Beach, and Nov. 5 in Tampa. To date, the fund has raised more than $50 million from corporate partners like Walmart, Publix, Home Depot, Amazon and more.

The fund is the State of Florida’s official private fund established to provide financial assistance to communities as they respond to and recover from times of emergency or disaster. In partnership with public, private, and other non-governmental organizations, the Florida Disaster Fund supports response and recovery activities. Donations to the Florida Disaster Fund are made to the Volunteer Florida Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and are tax-deductible.

These final three Florida shows will wrap the tour and will take Luke into preparations for the “56^th Annual CMA Awards” where he will host with NFL superstar Peyton Manning. The show will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena 8:00-11:00 PM/EST on ABC.

Today brings new music from four-time GRAMMY© Award winner Keith Urban.  His latest release, “Street Called Main” is as “pure, open road with the windows down, feel-good as it gets.”  As Urban sees it, “some memories are triggered by the simplest of things, like finding yourself anywhere in the world – even on a ‘street called main’ – and suddenly ‘she’ comes flooding back.”

this song is pure “open road with the windows down” nostalgia that just makes you feel good. STREET CALLED MAIN – out now. https://t.co/u6E0fOrxn5 pic.twitter.com/7F2nOr2kSW

Urban, who has been working on a new album slated for release in 2023, recorded “Main” in Nashville with longtime co-producer Dann Huff.  He’s been performing some of the new songs on stages across North America as part of his critically hailed THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR 2022, which will end following shows on November 3^rd in Madison, Wisconsin, November 4^th in Peoria, Illinois and November 5^th in Saint Paul, Minnesota before landing in Australia next month.

Urban’s current radio single “Brown Eyes Baby” continues to climb the chart, having just entered the Top 30.

With the success of his debut solo single, “5 Foot 9,” EMI Records Nashville recording artist Tyler Hubbard released a new acoustic version of the song today. Written by Hubbard, Jaren Johnston and Chase McGill, Hubbard also produced the acoustic track with Jordan Schmidt. The original version of “5 Foot 9,” already has nearly 184 M LTD streams and currently sits at No. 3 at country radio. The song quickly moved inside the Top 50 on the streaming chart in its first four weeks and currently sits inside the Top 20 on the Country Streaming Chart. Hubbard’s debut solo album will be released on January 27, 2023.

LISTEN TO “5 FOOT 9 (ACOUSTIC)” – HERE

“I’m so excited to be releasing an acoustic version of ‘5 Foot 9’,” says Hubbard. “I’m humbled by the response we’ve seen from fans over the past few months. Hearing crowds singing the words back to me on tour has been an incredible experience. For this acoustic version, we started from scratch and really broke down the instrumentation and tempo to give it a different feel. We ended up with an interpretation that we hope brings a new emotion to the song.”

Hubbard will make his Grand Ole Opry debut (as a solo artist) on Friday, November 11. Tickets are available HERE.

Tyler Hubbard’s first six-song project, Dancin’ In The Country, debuted with over 10,000 SPS units (sales plus streaming) making it the second best-selling country EP debut of the year. Dancin’ In The Country also debuted at No.1 on the Heatseekers Albums chart, No. 6 on the Current Country Albums sales chart, and No. 107 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Billboard says of the debut collection, “The singer-songwriter has offered a promising collection of six tracks on Dancin’ In The Country, which make good use of his pliable voice and storytelling panache by supporting them with full-bodied production.” Since releasing his debut single, Hubbard has released eight unofficial music videos. Watch all of Hubbard’s videos HERE.

Hubbard is currently on tour on Keith Urban’s “THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR,” which wraps next week. For information on where to get tickets go to www.tylerhubbardofficial.com.

“Thank you guys so much for the life you’ve given me,” Rucker shared when thanking the Country music community. “My life is so much better because I came to Nashville.”

NBC’s “TODAY” anchor Craig Melvin was also on hand to celebrate and present Darius with the RIAA Diamond trophy in honor of his “Wagon Wheel” achievement, noting that he knew he had to fly into town to honor such a great friend.

The Country Music Association has revealed its 2022 CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award recipient—chart-topping Country Music superstar Alan Jackson.

Jackson will accept the honor during “The 56th Annual CMA Awards,” broadcasting live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Wednesday, Nov. 9 on ABC. Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson will take the CMA Awards stage for an all-star tribute to the Country Music Hall of Fame member.

“We are thrilled to honor Alan Jackson this year with the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award,” says Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “A three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, he is responsible for so many iconic moments in CMA Awards history. Just as Alan has been influenced by many Country legends throughout his career, he too has inspired a generation of artists to stay true to the authenticity of Country Music. We are so excited to bring Dierks, Jon, Carrie and Lainey together on the CMA Awards stage for what will surely be an incredible and touching tribute to an artist they each deeply admire. Having had the great fortune of working with Alan over the years, I am delighted we are honoring him with this milestone award next month.”

The CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award is for an iconic artist who has attained the highest degree of recognition in Country Music. The award recognizes an artist who has achieved both national and international prominence and stature through concert performances, humanitarian efforts, philanthropy, streaming numbers, record sales and public representation at the highest level. The artist receiving this award has positively impacted and contributed to the growth of the genre throughout a course of years that have proven to have an unprecedented historical impact on fans and industry alike.

Previous recipients of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award include Willie Nelson (2012), Kenny Rogers (2013), Johnny Cash (2015), Dolly Parton (2016), Kris Kristofferson (2019), Charley Pride (2020), and Loretta Lynn (2021).

Jackson’s unmatched stature as a singer and songwriter flourished by deeply tipping his hat to the legends of his youth and boldly embracing his roots. Throughout his impressive career, he has blended the old and new in a unique style that is urban and rural, rugged and raw, and appeals to the large sector of the Country Music audience that reflects on the past for its musical influences.

Jackson has released more than 20 albums and collections—including forays into gospel and bluegrass—nine of which went multi-Platinum with 2 million or more in sales. Those albums have led to one of Country Music’s most decorated careers with three CMA Entertainer of the Year Awards (1995, 2002, 2003); two Grammy Awards; and membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry, the esteemed Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. Jackson was given the first ASCAP Heritage Award (2014) by the performance rights organization, recognizing him as the most performed Country Music songwriter-artist of the last 100 years. Jackson has charted 35 No. 1 hits, sold nearly 60 million albums, and is among the genre’s most decorated and respected figures, with more than 150 awards.

Darius Rucker had a blast renovating an historic mansion in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina for The Design Network earlier this year, and it turned out beautifully. He did casually mention, however, that he felt the 1700s home may be haunted.

“Oh, I slept in there a couple nights, and you could feel it,” Darius says with a laugh. “You could feel it. You know it, but of course it is. It was built in the 1700s. The first night I was laying there, and I turned the TV off, and the TV goes into the ceiling. I turned the TV off, and I was there for three-minutes, and I could feel it. It’s an old house and it starts creaking and everything, and I got up and put my shoes on and ran back outside to my other house.”

With an eye for design and innate love of Charleston, Darius and his design team tackled the restoration of this home one room at a time, while also stopping by some of the city’s finest establishments. He also showcased the best parts of Charleston’s vibrant culture, meeting up with local chefs, entrepreneurs, fishermen and friends as he highlights some of the top attractions in the area, from generations of tea growers to the many outdoor activities this city by the sea has to offer.
