Jon Pardi has scored his fourth No. 1 song as “Heartache Medication,” the title track of his latest album, hit the top of both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country charts. The song, which follows in the footsteps of “Head Over Boots,” “Dirt on My Boots” and “Heartache on the Dance Floor,” was written by Jon, Barry Dean and Natalie Hemby.

“A No. 1 is great! You reach the top of the charts, and it’s stamped in history as a No. 1. It’s a big deal, and it’s a lot of fun. But, for me, when you get a Top 10, you’ve already beat the odds, especially with my music,” says Jon. “No. 1s matter, but also at the same time, if it’s felt and it makes an impact, that’s a big thing too. It’s been great. Radio’s been great, and they’ve been very great about playing my stuff and it’s been fun to like know that’s cool because I get to keep writing that stuff and the fans are growing too, and it’s getting bigger and bigger.”

In addition to being selected by The New York Times as one of the most anticipated albums of the season and by Rolling Stone’s “Best Albums of the Year” list, Heartache Medication also earned a coveted slot on the Los Angeles Times “Best Albums of the Year” (#4) list, as the only country artist/album represented. Additionally, Pardi was selected by Nashville Lifestyles as the January cover star of their annual Music Issue and was named to the Nashville Scene’s year-end Critic’s Poll.

Jon will host the Nashville Lifestyles event on Wednesday (February 5th), followed by shows in Tulsa and Durant, Oklahoma and the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.

“The Knights started as a live band playing at a little place called Teasers on ‘Two for Tuesdays,’ and they just couldn’t get enough of us down there in Murfreesboro.

Some said this moment would never happen. But in spite of 30 wasted years and countless bad decisions, the Hot Country Knights has finally come in “riding a neon wave of Nineties Country nostalgia,” (Rolling Stone). Produced and written by multi-Platinum entertainer Dierks Bentley along with co-writers Jim Beavers and Brett Beavers, the debut single “Pick Her Up” from The Knights is a classic barnstormer that features rollicking guitar solos with lead singer Doug Douglason and Travis Tritt trading vocals. The song that Saving Country Music called “kind of badass” is already climbing the country radio charts as the band works towards a Spring album release. Famous for never giving up on the dream of the ’90s, the Hot Country Knights are comprised of band leader Douglas (“Doug”) Douglason, lead bass player Trevor Travis, lead guitarist Marty Ray (“Rayro”) Roburn, keytar/fiddle player Terotej (“Terry”) Dvoraczekynski, steel guitarist Barry Van Ricky and percussionist Monte Montgomery.

MCA Nashville’s hot newcomer Parker McCollum recently released the music video for his nostalgic tune “Pretty Heart,” watch HERE. The cinematic video was shot by Carlos Ruiz in New York City and features Parker reminiscing about a past love interest and the consequential breakup.  Written by Parker along with Randy Montana, “Pretty Heart” has accumulated impressive streaming numbers since its release in September adding to Parker’s almost 200 million total streams.

“Shooting the video in New York City was a blast and really brought this song to life,” shares Parker. “2020 is already off to an amazing start with our sold-out Nashville show. I’m really excited to release more new music that I’ve been working on and share it with fans on the road.”

2020 is poised to be a breakout year for Parker who has been named an Artist to Watch by CMT, Rolling Stone, SiriusXM, MusicRow and Sounds Like Nashville. Fans and media alike continue to praise Parker with famed critic Bob Lefsetz noting, “this guy is for real. He’s writing his own songs and he built his own fan base” while Rolling Stone highlights, “he’s a no-holds-barred confessional singer-songwriter for fans of John Mayer and Jason Isbell.”

In just a few short years, Parker has toured extensively throughout the US most recently with his first sold-out stop at Nashville’s Exit/In including special guest Kylie Morgan. Additional recent sold-out shows include Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, TX, Grizzly Rose in Denver, CO, George’s Majestic in Fayetteville, AR, Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, OK, Stubb’s in Austin, TX, The Jones Assembly in Oklahoma City, OK and White Oak Music Hall in Houston, TX.

CB30 released their sentimental new song, “Love That About Her,” today. Listen HERE. Written by Christian Clementi, Jay Clementi, and Steven Clawson, the song’s touching lyrics tell a story of being enamored with a significant other. The track features beautiful harmonies by younger brother, Brody Clementi, and contrasting instrumentation that creates a tone of sweet emotion throughout the song. CB30 coupled the release with a lyric video for the song as well, watch HERE. 

CB30 recently visited New York with appearances on Barstool Sports, Music Choice, and TigerBeat. The duo have previously opened for Luke Bryan on a number of stadium dates and made their debut at the famed Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, Calif. They are currently in the studio working on new music.

CB30, comprised of real-life brothers Christian and Brody Clementi, grew up in Nashville surrounded by music from a young age. After playing some local charity events with their father Jay Clementi, a successful songwriter, they caught the attention of country superstar Luke Bryan who introduced them to various industry contacts leading to a record deal with Buena Vista Records, a partnership between Disney Music Group and Universal Music Group Nashville. Their young, fresh sound is built on harmony-driven country melodies with influences ranging from The Everly Brothers to Ed Sheeran.

Travis Denning has shared a special solo-acoustic rendition of his current Top 20 single “After A Few” today, available to watch here. Denning visited Vevo’s studio in New York City for the stripped-back performance of his ascending single, that Music Row praises for its “rolling groove with a thumping undertow” and Denning’s “urgent vocals.” Co-written by Denning, Rolling Stone has also spotlighted the single that has over 44 million streams as “a showcase of his songwriting chops and the guitar licks he woodshedded at backroad bars in his native Georgia.” During the visit, Denning also performed a solo acoustic version of his track “Tank Of Gas And A Radio Song” available to watch here and also co-written by Denning.

A native of Warner Robins, Georgia, singer/songwriter Travis Denning’s current Top 20 single “After A Few” follows his Top 40 debut single “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs.” The Mercury Nashville recording artist is kicking off 2020 as support on Dustin Lynch’s “Stay Country” Tour. Denning has previously opened shows for Cole Swindell, Alan Jackson, LANCO, Riley Green and his first headlining “Heartbeat Of A Small Town Tour.” With over 134 million streams worldwide, Denning has been spotlighted by Billboard for his “future star power” and was selected this past year as an Opry NextStage recipient and CMA KixStart Artist, as he makes his mark within the industry. Inspired at a young age, Denning developed a love for country, pop, rock and heavy metal and started playing local bars from the age of 16, as he built a strong following from his distinctive songs and raucous guitar solos. A prolific writer with an unquestionable stage presence, Denning moved to Nashville and secured outside cuts by Jason Aldean, Justin Moore, Michael Ray and Chase Rice. Denning’s newest songwriting cut includes Michael Ray’s current Top 30 single “Her World or Mine” that is continuing to climb the charts at Country radio.

Luke Bryan wrapped his sixth consecutive sold-out CRASH MY PLAYA event in the Riviera Cancun region of Mexico on Saturday night. Luke headlined two of the four nightly concerts with Jason Aldean and Old Dominion headlining the additional nights. The event also included performances by Dustin Lynch, Lee Brice, Scotty McCreery, Granger Smith, Jordan Davis, Jon Langston, Tenille Townes, Caylee Hammack, Kendell Marvel and DJ Rock.

CRASH MY PLAYA kicked off last Wednesday with four fun filled days of performances with daily pool parties, nightly concerts and the addition this year of late-night party sets. Fans experience one of a kind performances from all the artists participating as they join each other on stage or hang out side of stage to watch the fun. Among the many guest and surprise appearances included Luke welcoming and introducing Old Dominion to their first headline CRASH MY PLAYA set, Dustin playing a marathon 3-hour pool party set, Charles Kelley (Lady Antebellum) making a surprise appearance at the festival performing a few songs with Luke and Jason, then Luke’s Mom LeClaire joining for a dance onstage and Dustin singing with Luke to close out the festival on the rainy final night.

Luke also filmed a new music video during his time in Mexico that will be out some time after his new album BORN HERE, LIVE HERE, DIE HERE is released on April 24th.

CRASH MY PLAYA 2020 was hosted at just one resort for the first time at the Moon Palace Cancún which ranks among the best in the region on TripAdvisor. The four-night tropical getaway and concert experience was designed and produced by CID Presents as the ultimate all-inclusive Caribbean concert vacation. Guests were not only treated to poolside and nightly beachfront concerts, but were also provided with airport transportation, 24-hour concierge, optional daily activities and off-site adventures such as ATV’s and Zip Lines, Catamaran, Snorkeling, Deep Sea Fishing and more. The event was self-produced by the production arm of CID Entertainment, the premier music travel and fan-focused experiential agency. Having developed and implemented VIP and travel packages for Luke’s tours for years, CID was the perfect partner for CRASH MY PLAYA, designing a country music festival where fans could see their favorite artists on stage and enjoy the sun, beach, food and adventures with their friends.

Plans for CRASH MY PLAYA 2021 are underway.

Luke is currently making his way up the country charts with his latest smash hit, “What She Wants Tonight.”
