Priscilla Block may have been discovered on the social app Tik Tok singing songs, but she knew at a young age music was going to be her career path. She began her journey before she could even drive a car.

“Because I wasn’t going to be a doctor, I wasn’t going to be a lawyer. I mean I wasn’t the schoolgirl. I wasn’t, at all, ever,” says Priscilla. “You know, I picked up the guitar when I was 15 and I started writing songs, and immediately I knew that was what I wanted to do, and I was like, ‘I think I’m kinda good at this.’ And, what better place to go to than Nashville, baby?”

Priscilla, who was just named as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, is currently scaling the country charts with her single, “Just About Over You.”

Parker McCollum made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday night (February 6th). The Texas native, who joined Dierks Bentley and newly-minted Opry member Rhonda Vincent, was also presented with a plaque commemorating his recent No. 1 single being certified platinum.

Played the Grand Ole Opry last night and Pretty Heart went platinum! Thank you to everyone that came or watched on TV. Come a long way from playing songs at my grandparents barn on 2854 in Conroe, TX. I won’t ever forget last night pic.twitter.com/QYQr1IgKn4

Eric Church is working on a North American tour…right now. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year didn’t reveal many details in a video message posted on his socials this morning (February 5th), but he did sincerely want to assure fans they will once again see him live as soon as this global pandemic is contained.

We will gather again pic.twitter.com/puFgIxD1yL

“We ARE working on a North American tour. We’re waiting for the right timing to officially announce all the details, but I want you to know that  a tour is coming and we are very excited to play new music for our old friends. Coming to many cities that we’ve been to in the past and a few new ones. As usual, the Church Choir will get the first opportunity to buy tickets when we go on sale. I cannot wait to see you on the road.”

Today’s news of a tour on the horizon is accompanied by the release of an additional song off his forthcoming three-part project, Heart & Soul, with the bare-boned ballad “Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones” available everywhere today. The track is featured on the third album in the collection, Soul, set for release Friday, April 23 following Heart’s release on Friday, April 16 and the release of the Church Choir’s exclusive vinyl-only middle album, &, on Tuesday, April 20.

“‘Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones’ was such a tough one for us to get, but it ended up as one of my favorite performances of my career,” reflects Church. “Casey Beathard had written that song and I first played it laying back on my bed for a guitar vocal. I tried to play it the same way a thousand times after that, but there’s a way that song develops that we never could recapture – something about relaxing and laying back; there’s a lope to that song. I started to worry about the soul going away the more we tried, so Jay Joyce said, ‘let’s let Brian Sutton have a shot at it.’ We let him hear it one time and then he was feeling it as we went. There’s some extra pauses and spaces in the back of the recording as he figured it out – I think that’s what makes that song. It’s compelling and that’s a lot to do with Brian and Jay.”

In addition to releasing new music, Church will also take to the field at Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium next Sunday, February 7 to perform the National Anthem with R&B star Jazmine Sullivan ahead of Super Bowl LV. The 10-time GRAMMY nominee recently spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the prestigious performance, noting “With what’s going on in America, it feels like an important time for a patriotic moment, an important time for unity. The fact that I’m a Caucasian Country singer and she’s an African American R&B singer — I think the country needs that.” Catch all the pre-game action beginning at 6pm ET on CBS.

Following the game, Church will also perform as part of Verizon’s “Big Concert for Small Business” benefit, streaming live at 10pm CT. Fans can visit VerizonBigConcertSmallBiz.com for more information about the event and how to tune in.

Eric is currently racing up the country charts with his latest single, “Hell of a View.”

Award-winning actress and EMI Nashville recording artist Chrissy Metz teams with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Audé for a remix of her song “Feel Good.” Audé adds a hypnotic groove element to the tune written by Metz with Nicolette Hayford, Connie Herrington, Aaron Raitiere and Jake Mitchell.

Listen to the “Feel Good” Dave Audé Remix HERE

Initially released in conjunction with Metz’s 2020 fall fashion collaboration with ELOQUII Elements, “Feel Good” is a breezy little reminder “meant to empower women and to inspire positivism” (MusicRow). The song represents the moment Metz realized she was done living her life for other people and that it was time to put the focus on herself. “I can’t worry about what people are going to say, think, or do,” says Metz. “I’ve got to do what feels good to me.”

Luke and his fellow American Idol judges, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, return to the small screen on February 14th (Valentine’s Day) as the long-running singing competition show returns to ABC.

TJ Osborne of Brothers Osborne appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday (February 4th) to talk about coming out as gay earlier this week in TIME. The support and love he’s been shown has been overwhelming and emotional for him, and he chatted with Ellen, who officially came out in Time magazine (as well), on April 14, 1997. Check out the powerful interview below:

TJ and his brother John Osborne are scaling the country charts with their single, “All Night.”

As everyone knows, Darius Rucker is a huge football fan. He has said in the past, “For me, there’s two times a year, man — football season and waiting for football season.” While his beloved Miami Dolphins with a 10-6 record didn’t make it to this year’s Super Bowl, he will be watching Sunday’s (February 7th) game, which he says is going to be really interesting.

“Not only do we have Mahomes is the best new quarterback and Tom Brady who I have to finally admit is the goat, even though Dan Marino is 1A, but I’m not going to go into that (laughs). But with those two teams going at each other, and not just them, but to have two of the greatest offensive minds ever with Andy Reid and Bruce Arians on the sidelines and then you’ve got (Eric) Bieniemy on the sidelines, another great offensive mind, it’s going to be hard for these defensives to slow these teams down, because you’ve got two weeks to prepare, and everything that the defensives are looking at on film right now, everything they see they’re not going to see on Sunday,” says Darius. “It’s going to be all new, and it’s going to be all different formations and different formations and different that and different routes out of different formations that they’ve never done before and it’s gonna be tough. I’m looking for a great game. You know, there’s that’s part of me that wants to go Kansas City is going to win, ‘cause when you look at it that’s how the football mind, how I see it, but I made a vow after the last two weekends of the playoffs that I’m never gonna bet against Tom Brady again. (laughs) So, I don’t know who’s going to win, (laughs) but I think it’s gonna be a great game.”

Darius is also commissioner in six different fantasy football leagues. This year he didn’t fare as well as he has in years past. “Yes, I did my fantasy football leagues this year, and I made the playoffs in one (laughs) and lost in the first round.” (laughs)

The South Carolina native is poised to top the country charts very soon with his latest single, “Beers and Sunshine.”

This Sunday (February 7th), 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 Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, while others will be pulling for the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Eric Church, along with Jazmine Sullivan, have been tapped to perform the National Anthem at this year’ Super Bowl.

We need to make sure we are continuing to support them, and I love that Verizon has stayed committed to raise awareness on their behalf.”
