Priscilla Block is ready to release her debut album, Welcome To The Block Party, this Friday (February 11th). The collection, which she’s been working on for about two years, follows last year’s six-song self-titled Priscilla Block EP, the highest-performing country female debut EP of 2021. Bringing a lyrically driven blend of Country-Pop and Southern Rock – a.k.a. the “Block Party” sound – to Nashville’s evolving musical landscape, Welcome To The Block Party features 12 songs, all written by the newcomer, including “Just About Over You,” the Top 15 smash and highest peaking debut single from a female country artist in 2021.

The North Carolina native is so proud of the debut album, the writers and producers and feels the songs describe her as a person.

“Creating this album has honestly been done over the past couple years, and I couldn’t be more proud of it,” says Priscilla. “You know, from the writers to the producers, these are all people I’m really close to and I’m super proud of these songs, and I feel like collectively, it all describes who I am as a person, and welcome to the Block Party, baby!”

“Priscilla’s songs emanate authenticity, making others feel they have a place at the table, and someone new to relate to” – MusicRow

Recently, Priscilla released her latest single, “My Bar,” off her debut album. The defiantly self-assured song was the most added on country radio – landing 52 stations in its first week of release.

Mickey’s groundbreaking debut album Remember Her Name recently earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album of the Year, the first-ever for a Black artist, plus nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.

Multi-Platinum superstar Eric Church has partnered with real estate and hospitality entrepreneur Ben Weprin as co-owners of new six-story property Chief’s at the corner of 2nd Avenue and Broadway in downtown Nashville, with plans to begin renovating the food, beverage and live entertainment space this year.

“I remember driving through downtown Nashville over 20 years ago with a pawn shop guitar, riding shotgun in a beat-to-hell truck just trying to chase a dream,” reflects Church. “Chief’s is the culmination of catching that dream. Like everything else we do in our career, I wouldn’t even attempt a project like this if I didn’t think it would be the best, so that’s what Chief’s will be: the best.”

With Esquire praising Church as “one of the most singular working artists in any genre,” and Stereogum celebrating him as “one of the biggest touring musicians on earth,” the critically acclaimed entertainer’s passion for live music will be on full display with an intimate seated music venue within the space. His roots in the Carolinas will also be reflected on the rooftop of the former Cotton Eyed Joe building, with renowned Charleston pitmaster and James Beard Award winner Rodney Scott bringing his Whole Hog BBQ to Music City.

“I am beyond excited to not only bring Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ to Music City, but to also partner with my good friends Eric and Ben on this project,” says Scott. “Anyone who knows me, knows that I love music – so the opportunity to expand the brand in partnership with an award-winning musician makes this project extra special! I can’t wait to share our Carolina roots and our whole hog BBQ with the incredible people of Nashville.”

Church, who set the Nissan Stadium concert attendance record of 56,521 across the river from where Chief’s will stand, has been closely involved in the planning process for the venue, which will reflect his storied career of 30 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum singles – from his Sinners Like Me debut through current Top 15-and-climbing single “Heart On Fire” and beyond.

“Bringing a seated music venue to Lower Broadway while revitalizing and preserving a historic building is exactly the kind of investment Nashville’s entertainment sector needs,” notes Mayor John Cooper. “I thank the partners involved for keeping the character of the building while creating a new concept for locals and our visitors to enjoy.”

“Pairing Eric’s talent and passion for music and his work ethic with a new restaurant, bar, performance hall and more downtown is a recipe for success,” adds Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp CEO Butch Spyridon. “The fact that he is doing this in a historic building that will transform the gateway to historic Second Avenue is truly a bonus as that street recovers from 2020’s unfortunate incident.”

“I am partnering with my closest friend and, in my opinion, the greatest hotel entrepreneur on earth, Ben Weprin, and the greatest barbecue chef in the world, Rodney Scott,” continues Church. “Together we will create an experience unique to Nashville and absolutely unparalleled in the world of music, food, fellowship and entertainment. This is my hometown. This is personal. This matters. Every detail of Chief’s will feel that way. I cannot wait to get started. See you in 2023.”

In addition to launching Chief’s, Church is currently playing in-the-round arena shows across the U.S. and Canada on The Gather Again Tour. Tickets to all dates, including the U.S. finale at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, are on sale now at EricChurch.com. All tour dates will enforce local venue and/or city guidelines regarding COVID-19 precautions and Church is touring with a fully vaccinated crew.

Luke Bryan is excited to get on stage at Resorts World on Friday for his first-ever headlining-run of shows in Las Vegas, which begin Friday (February 11th) The concerts will take place at The Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas, a 5,000-capacity, world-class theatre that opened last November. Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry have already played shows there, and Luke has many more to come. Click here for more information on his residency, as well as dates on his Raised Up Right Tour.

He says the stage is about the size of his stadium show stages, if not bigger, and they were able to build the set for his residency to accommodate the stage and use all the bells and whistles.

“The stage is the size of a stadium show stage. I mean, it may even be bigger, and when we do amphitheaters, sometimes they get really small, and we have to cut back all of our tricks and bells and whistles,” he explains. The thing about here in Vegas is we’re able to build a set that is tailored to how big the stage is, and every part of our stage has function and is mobile and moves. When Katy Perry did her first weekend here, I texted her how did it go? And she was like, it’s a big stage, get ready. So, we were able to kinda really add even more stuff to kind of make it feel big, but also make it feel intimate for the crowd.”

His pre-show routine won’t be much different than his customary rundown before he steps on stage. “You know, I’ve been really blessed to have done a lot of high-profile things from, Lord, doing the anthem at the Super Bowl and stadium shows and stuff like that,” says Luke. “I think the main thing for me is after all these years, I have a pretty cool routine that works and get a good night’s sleep, got all this family and friends coming in, you know get back in the dressing room, huddle up with the band, have a little pre-show toast and get out here and have fun. I mean, that’s what we’re supposed to be doing. I need to be on stage having fun.”

Since Luke, a sports fanatic, will be in Las Vegas during the Super Bowl matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams, he already has a party planned for family and friends who will be in town. “We’re gonna have a fun set up here in the hotel and have a big Super Bowl Party here at Resorts World and with all our friends. It’ll be weird, ‘cause I’ve never done the Super Bowl on West Coast time, so I guess it starts at like 3:30p, so and then right when the Super Bowl’s done, I have to fly through the night to Hawaii to do American Idol. So, (I’ve) got to kind of have a tame Super Bowl.”

Luke is currently making his way UP the country charts with his latest single, “Up.”

This Sunday (February 13th), millions of people around the world will be tuning in to the Super Bowl (the Big Game), including some of your favorite country artists. Some will be rooting for the Cincinnati Bengals, while others will be pulling for the Los Angeles Rams.

Mickey Guyton is set to perform the National Anthem prior to the Big Game, while the half-time performers include Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige.

Check out all the action at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, at 6:30pm ET on NBC.

Country music stars Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan celebrated No. 1 single “Buy Dirt” after they were surprised with a Platinum plaque while out on a hunting trip together. The hit song was officially certified Platinum by the RIAA earlier this month. Bryan shared a sneak-peek of the trip on his Instagram HERE.

Additionally, Davis notched his first multi-week No. 1 at country radio, as “Buy Dirt” remained at the top spot on the both the Billboard and Mediabase country airplay charts for a second consecutive week. The MCA Nashville recording artist earned his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, as “Buy Dirt” dethroned Walker Hayes’ “Fancy Like” after a 24-week run at No. 1.

“Buy Dirt” is Davis’ fastest moving single to date and the No. 3 most consumed country song of 2022, reaching over 250 million global streams. “Buy Dirt” has landed on four different Viral Charts in the US, Canada, Australia, and South Africa, has been inside the Top 200 country streaming chart all 34 weeks since release, and inside the Top 5 for 16 weeks. “Buy Dirt” has spent 25 consecutive weeks on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 chart.

Following the news last week, Davis announced a second date at the Ryman Auditorium on September 28, 2022. The shows will mark Davis’ first headlining appearance at the famed Nashville venue. The talented Louisiana native has performed “Buy Dirt” on NBC’S 3^rd Hour TODAY, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and ABC’s Live with Kelly And Ryan. “Buy Dirt” received a nomination for Musical Event of the Year on the 55^th Annual CMA Awards, Davis’ first of his career. Davis will hit the road this Spring for the second leg of his Buy Dirt Tour.

About Jordan Davis
A Native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Jordan Davis graduated from LSU and briefly pursued the path of his degree working as an environmental consultant; however, his passion for music and songwriting eventually compelled him to move to Nashville in the summer of 2012. In 2018, MCA Nashville’s Jordan Davis released his Gold-certified debut album, Home State, which features his three consecutive No. 1 hits: Platinum-Certified “Slow Dance In A Parking Lot,” the Double Platinum-Certified “Singles You Up” and Platinum-Certified “Take It From Me.” In 2019 Davis won Best New Country Artist at the iHeart Radio Music Awards and was a two-time nominee for ACM New Male Artist of the Year. He was also named Billboard’s Top New Country Artist of 2018 as well as Country Aircheck/Mediabase’s Most Heard New Artist of 2018. Davis has since accumulated over 2 billion streams worldwide. The hitmaker released a six-song, self-titled EP featuring a collaboration with pop superstar Julia Michaels titled, “Cool Anymore.” In May 2021, Davis released his new eight song EP, Buy Dirt. Davis co-wrote every song on the EP except for the John Prine inspired “Blow Up Your TV,” who Davis cites as one of his most important influences on his life and music. Davis has previously toured with the likes of Kane Brown, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Jake Owen, Kip Moore, and Old Dominion.

“I wanted to create the feeling of the journey I’ve been on – hoping that one day I’d be playing live in front of as many people as can be jammed into a concert hall,” said Keith Urban of the “Wild Hearts” music video.  Of the boom box in the opening scenes of the new video, he says, “it represents the beginning, when I had no band, and I just played to a couple of people.”

But things didn’t stay that way for Urban and as the video and song reveals his was a steady climb driven by his own dream.  “The building I’m playing on starts rising higher, as my audience grows,” explains Urban.  “All of this leading to a starry sky becoming a sea of camera phones in the air – a phenomenal sight to see from any stage.”

And after nearly four years, Urban will have the chance to see them again.  “All of this gives me the same adrenaline rush. Knowing that we’re heading back out on the road again – it’s been so long since we’ve done that (because of COVID).  I feel like a caged animal kicking at the gate to be let out!”

THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR gets underway on April 28^th at the O2 Academy Birmingham, the first of seven shows in the U.K., before launching in the U.S. on June 17^th in Tampa, Florida.  Urban will also return to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with shows on March 25, 26 and 30^th, as well as April 1,2 and May 27, 28 and 29^th. For information on where to get tickets go to www.keithurban.com.

“Wild Hearts” is quintessential Urban.  The fist-pumping, arena-ready, rise-up against all odds anthem is as musically intoxicating as it is infectious and relatable. It’s the follow up to his duet with P!nk, “One Too Many,” which to date has amassed over 400 million worldwide streams.

Chris Stapleton has hit the top of the country charts with his latest single, “You Should Probably Leave,” a song he co-wrote with tunesmiths Ashley Gorley and Chris DuBois about a decade ago.

This is Chris’ third No. 1 song as an artist, but he’s written several chart-toppers for other artists including Luke Bryan (“Drink A Beer”), Josh Turner (“Your Man”), Thomas Rhett (“Crash And Burn”), George Strait (“Love’s Gonna Make It Alright”), Darius Rucker (“Come Back Song”) and Kenny Chesney (Never Wanted Nothing More”), among others.

Click here for audio on “You Should Probably Leave.”

The song appears on his latest CMA and ACM award-winning album, Starting Over. Chris is also nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best Country Solo Performance (“You Should Probably Leave”), Best Country Song (“Cold”) and Best Country Album (Starting Over).

Prior to launching the new leg of his All-American Road Show Tour in April, Chris will headline the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 17th, followed by a pair of shows at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma on March 18th and 19th.
