Sam Hunt released his new single, “Water Under The Bridge,” which he co-wrote with Chris LaCorte, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. He says the tune takes him back to a local gathering place where he and his friends used to hang out making memories to last a lifetime.

“It’s a song that is literally about ‘Water Under The Bridge’ but it’s really about that little place that most small towns have,” says the Georgia native. “In my case, it was a little hangout spot down by the river up under an old backroad, and we used to gather up there – folks have been gathering up there long before we came along and I’m sure still gathering up there now – but on Friday and Saturday night go out there to have a good time, let our hair down a little bit, get into a little bit of trouble. We made a lot of memories out there.”

I can’t believe this ol’ road ain’t washed out

That no trespassing sign is still hanging around

And it’s doing about as much good now as it did back then

Yeah, you know we used to load up on Natty, unleaded and smokes

Hide from the sheriff and let down our folks

Park some old Chevy jukebox up here on the bank

Crank it ‘til the thing won’t crank

That muddy river, it was rollin’

We didn’t care where it was goin’

We had it made, we didn’t know it

We were young, dumb, and so full of it

Broken bottles and graffiti

Beer and girls and poppin’ wheelies

Love was fun and life was easy

Now it’s just water under the bridge

I kissed a girl my buddy used to like

He showed up out here and he wanted to fight

Now I still talk to him, but I don’t know where she is

Guess it’s just water under the bridge

That muddy river, it was rollin’

We didn’t care where it was goin’

We had it made, we didn’t know it

We were young, dumb, and so full of it

Broken bottles and graffiti

Beer and girls and poppin’ wheelies

Love was fun and life was easy

Now it’s just water under the bridge

That muddy river, it was rollin’

We didn’t care where it was goin’

We had it made, we didn’t know it

We were young, dumb, and so full of it

Broken bottles and graffiti

Beer and girls and poppin’ wheelies

Love was fun and life was easy

Now it’s just water under the bridge

Carrie Underwood wrapped her 2022 REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency at Resorts World Theatre last month. The first artist to grace the largest and tallest stage in Las Vegas, Carrie opened the new 5,000-capacity, world-class theatre with a sold-out engagement in December 2021, followed by sold-out runs in March, April and May 2022 – marking a total of 18 sold out shows. She will return to Resorts World Las Vegas to resume her residency in 2023.

Even though she’s been performing and touring for several years, Carrie says her residency gave her a whole new confidence.

“I think everything that I do I learn from along the way and get to add certain things to my, you know, my bank. You learn what works in different areas and what doesn’t work in other areas. And I feel like our Las Vegas residency Reflection has definitely taught me a lot. I feel like it helped a lot in the confidence department, in my confidence department, because we got to put together just this incredible show. You know, it wasn’t necessarily just a concert, it was a show and I love that. I feel like there’s so many elements of that that I’m gonna take with me as we plan and ultimately take the Denim and Rhinestones Tour out on the road. So, I’m excited to see what we do with everything that we’ve learned, and I think it only makes me a better performer and artist. So, it’s gonna be good.”

If you can’t wait to see Carrie, she’s set to kick-off THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR October 15th in Greenville, South Carolina, making stops in 43 U.S. cities including New York’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena before concluding in Seattle, Washington March 17th.  2023 dates for REFLECTION will be announced at a later date.

Carrie, who is climbing the country charts with her latest single, “Ghost Story,” just released her latest album, Denim & Rhinestones.

Keith Urban has released a live version of his 2004 smash, “You’ll Think of Me,” from his multi-platinum album Golden Road, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in October.

“This song has become such a special moment during our shows and sooooo many of you have been asking for this version over the years. Now, on the day THE SPEED OF NOW World Tour kicks off, it’s yours.”

Keith is kicking off The Speed Of Now World Tour Friday night (June 17th) in Tampa, followed by a show on Saturday (June 18th) in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Priscilla Block got a little “wasted” at her elementary school talent show, er that is, she sang Carrie Underwood’s 2007 hit song “Wasted.” While all the other kids were performing age-appropriate songs, Priscilla got a little sassy with her performance.

“So, I started doing talent shows in elementary school, just ‘cause all of my friends were doing it, whatever,” says Priscilla. “And my first talent show, I think I was in second grade and I sang – I’ve been a trainwreck since day one (laughs) honestly. I sang ‘Wasted’ by Carrie Underwood for like my third grade talent show. And I remember my friends’ parents were like, is she? They’re singing ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ and I’m singing ‘Wasted’ by Carrie Underwood. (laughs) It was just, oh my gosh, yup, that was me.”

She’s always been a country girl — at another talent show, she performed Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road.”

Priscilla is not “wasting” any of her time; she’s currently climbing the country charts with “My Bar.” She made her debut performing during Nashville’s famed CMA Music Fest and is set to appear as a special guest on select dates with Jon Pardi. Fans can also see Priscilla at the upcoming Boots & Hearts Festival in Ontario, Canada on August 7th as she joins the all-star line-up, which includes Shania Twain, among many others.

Carrie Underwood will help honor the legendary Country Music Hall of Famer, Barbara Mandrell, on her 50th Anniversary as a member of the Opry family with two shows at the Grand Ole Opry July 30th. Carrie, who has lauded Mandrell as one of her musical and professional inspirations, is scheduled to perform and help honor the music legend who will be in attendance at both shows. More artists will be announced soon.

Keith Urban is set to perform on NBC’s TODAY Show for its Citi Concert Series June 30th.

A new exhibit titled Chris Stapleton: Since 1978 is set to open July 1st, 2022 and will run through May 14th, 2023. The exhibit will follow the superstar’s career, starting with his birth in 1978 -hence the title of the exhibit- in eastern Kentucky and will highlight his journey to Nashville, life as a songwriter and his meteoric rise as an artist.

Keith Urban is set to kick off his first world tour in four years, THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR, on Friday (June 17th) in Tampa, Florida. The global superstar is taking Ingrid Andress along for the ride.

Keith first heard of Ingrid when he was working with songwriter-producer Jordan Schmidt who worked on the song “Both” for her 2020 album, Lady Like. “I first heard of her through a guy called Jordan Schmidt who was writing with her at the time, and he said, ‘Man, I’m working with this girl who’s just an amazing singer. You should hear one of the songs that we just did.’ And he sent me a song called ‘Both,’ and I was floored at this song and her voice and the whole thing, and I’m like, ‘Omigosh, this girl’s amazing,” he recalls.

According to Keith it’s a very collaborative effort when he and his team, including the production company, start putting together elements being used for the stage and to enhance the music. “It’s collaboration for me is what it’s always about. It’s all artistic expression,” he says. “So I come from a lighting background. I love lighting. I love the fact that it’s an emotional support and an energy support for song, and I always prefer when they’re used in that way to heighten the emotion or the energy or the drama.”

Critics from around the globe have hailed Urban’s concerts as ones “not to be missed,” as unpredictable as they are explosive.  Combine his infectious showmanship, virtuoso guitar playing, effortless spontaneity with a fist-pumping, arena-ready arsenal of hits and THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR  promises to be one of the concert event of the Summer.

But what lies at the heart of every great show are the songs. Blue Ain’t Your Color, The Fighter, Somewhere In My Car, Wasted Time, Somebody Like You, Long Hot Summer, his latest single Wild Hearts, and his global smash One Too Many with P!NK, will anchor a night of music from one of the touring world’s best.

The tour includes Urban’s first concerts in Ft. Worth and Savannah, his first appearances at venues in Los Angeles and Jacksonville, as well as shows in Knoxville, Charleston and Madison where he hasn’t played in nearly a decade.

Keith and crew hit Tampa to rehearse at the amphitheater earlier this week, and Mother Nature had other electrifying ideas in mind.

Following Tampa, he heads to West Palm Beach on Saturday (June 18th). The trek currently runs through November 5th, then in December, he’ll tour Australia beginning December 1st at the Gold Coast, followed by shows in Brisbane, Sydney and more before wrapping with a two-night stand in Melbourne.

Carrie Underwood performed the song “Pink Champagne” from her brand new album, Denim & Rhinestones, on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (June 14th).

Carrie says of the song, ““’Pink Champagne’ is definitely one of my favorite songs on the album. It makes me so happy, so happy to listen to, so happy to sing. It makes me want to dance, makes me want to sing into my hairbrush, it makes me want to turn it up and just have a blast with it.” Adding, “It’s like saying that you know, your love gets me more buzz than pink champagne. It’s all about just the fun of the song. It’s all sweet and happy, and we got to just kinda be silly and it’s one of my favorite songs.”

Carrie is currently climbing the country charts with her latest single, “Ghost Story,” which is also featured on Denim & Rhinestones.

Capitol Records Nashville Multi-Platinum hitmaker Jon Pardi will release his anticipated fourth studio album, Mr. Saturday Night, on September 2^nd. Beginning today, fans can pre-order a physical copy here. The 14-song collection will feature his chart-climbing single “Last Night Lonely,” latest release “Fill ‘Er Up” and 12 additional new tracks.

“A lot of time was spent living with the songs on this record,” shares Pardi. “There is more life experience on Mr. Saturday Night than any album I’ve released before. I chose ‘Mr. Saturday Night’ as the title track because it’s special to me. I’ve been hanging onto it for three years and can’t wait for people to hear it, and the rest of these songs.”

Setting the tone for Mr. Saturday Night, the project’s lead track “Last Night Lonely” has already hit Top 15 at country radio, while tallying more than 55 Million global streams. Pardi recently brought the fiddle and steel-drenched song to life with the official music video, hitting the famed Las Vegas strip.

Mr. Saturday Night is produced by Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his critically acclaimed third studio release Heartache Medication. Nominated for Album of the Year by both the CMA and ACM, Heartache Medication was named one of the best albums of 2019 by Rolling Stone and Los Angeles Times. Sure to further his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) with Mr. Saturday Night, Pardi continues to prove “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still work on a mass scale.” (Variety)

Pardi is set to bring his fan-favorite hits and new music coast to coast on his AIN’T ALWAYS THE COWBOY TOUR, kicking off July 14 in Irving, TX. Along with Lainey Wilson and Hailey Whitters, he will hit the stage in major markets including Las Vegas, Boston, New York and more, wrapping with an October 1 show at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater.
