On the TROUBLE TOWN TOUR, fans can expect to hear Jordan’s current single “Slow Dance In A Parking Lot” which is nearing Top 20 at country radio in addition to his back-to-back No.1 Platinum-Certified hits “Singles You Up” and “Take It From Me.” All three tracks are featured on Jordan’s debut album, Home State, which has accumulated almost 1 Billion streams worldwide.

“I’m really excited to get back on the road and in front of my amazing fans,” says Jordan. “Kassi is just a true artist in every sense of the word and Hailey is an extremely talented songwriter, I’m glad the rest of the world is getting to know both of them. Not only are they incredible songwriters, singers and artists but they are even better people and I’m honored to have them out with me.”

Joining Jordan for select dates is label-mate Kassi Ashton who has brought a whole new attitude of her own to country music as “a devilish songwriter who isn’t afraid to flip convention on its head (Rolling Stone).”  Praised for her confessional and catchy storytelling, Kassi has been named “Who to Watch” by Huffington Post, The Tennessean, Bobby Bones and more. She was featured on “Drop Top” from Keith Urban’s chart-topping 2018 album, Graffiti U, and just wrapped her first set of live shows supporting Maren Morris on “GIRL: The World Tour.”

In addition, singer/songwriter Hailey Whitters will join Jordan for the remaining tour dates. A native of Shueyville, Iowa Hailey is a probing, fearless songwriter who has been deemed “Nashville’s newest unsigned star” by Rolling Stone. Hailey’s critically-acclaimed music has been featured by Billboard, The Fader, Paste and more. She is currently on the road with Maren Morris as well as Brent Cobb.

Jordan recently stopped by Gear Patrol to share his tour essentials, watch HERE. The Louisiana native just wrapped his first European tour reuniting with Old Dominion following direct support slots with both Old Dominion and Rascal Flatts earlier this year. Continuing to receive praise for his live show, Entertainment Focus notes, “Davis brought many catchy tunes to life, captivating the audience in the process. Armed with strong songs and showing off his distinctive voice, Davis took his relationship with his fans to the next level.” Jordan is set to return to the UK next March as part of the Country To Country (C2C) Festival.

Lauren Alaina has hinted over the past week that tonight’s dance on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars will be an emotional one for her. She just posted on her socials that she is dedicating her appearance to her stepdad, Sam Ramker, who passed away one year ago today.

“He was always my champion. Now he’s my guardian angel. I can’t believe my stepdad has been gone a year today. This is an extremely hard day for my family, but I know Sam is with us and is so proud of us all. I am dancing for you tonight. We miss you. See you on The Other Side.”

Rising country star, Jon Langston, released his highly-anticipated new EP, Now You Know, Friday. The EP features six original songs all written by Langston including the project’s lead single, “Now You Know,” currently playing at country radio.

“I’m really excited for the release of my new EP,” says Langston. “I have worked hard at evolving my writing and sound over the past year and I really feel this music shows my different styles and sums up who I am as an artist, and I can’t wait for the fans to hear it.”

Langston is the first artist signed under Luke Bryan’s 32 Bridge Entertainment in conjunction with UMG Nashville, and Now You Know EP is the first project out of the new venture. “Every once in a while, someone crosses your path that you just can’t get off your mind and for me that someone was Jon Langston,” shares Bryan. “I watched what he was organically building out there with his fans, from selling out clubs to streaming crazy numbers and I got so fired up I had to figure out a plan to help him grow to the next level.”

Bryan invited Langston out on his 34-city Sunset Repeat Tour which wrapped Friday night at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. Fans can catch Langston on the road on his own headlining The Bird Dog Tour, which kicked off Labor Day weekend in Nashville with a sold-out show at Marathon Music Works. For a full list of Langston’s tour dates, click HERE.

Fans can also get a taste of Langston’s live show in his new music video, “Dial One Up,” out today.

Now You Know EP Track List:

1.Now You Know (Jon Langston, Brad Clawson, Brock Berryhill)

2.Dance Tonight (Langston, Jody Stevens)

3.When It Comes To Loving You (Langston, Dan Isbell)

Weeks after releasing a genre-bending makeover of her signature song “My Love,” Clare Dunn is back with new music. Released on October 18th, “Gold to Glitter” and “Money’s All Gone” both shine new light on Dunn’s “swaggering confidence and soulful vocals” (Rolling Stone), while also making room for her top-tier guitar skills and supersized hooks. Listen HERE.

The two songs also nod to Dunn’s roots in small-town Colorado, where she worked on her family’s farm before launching her acclaimed career in Nashville.

“‘Gold to Glitter’ is about watching the golden sunset turn into the glittery, star-filled, wide-open night sky that I grew up under,” she says. “Sunset has always been my favorite time of day, and the sunsets I grew up watching were spectacular.” Appropriately, “Gold to Glitter” is a shimmering, anthemic track, with a chorus as big as the nighttime sky itself.

Meanwhile, “Money’s All Gone” is a guitar-driven rocker that rushes forward at highway speed, with Dunn’s fretwork on the electric guitar matching her powerful vocals. The song’s classic rock swagger nods to Bob Seger, who hand-picked Dunn to serve as the opening act on a recent arena tour, as well as her longtime heroes the Rolling Stones.

“‘Money’s All Gone’ is inspired by all the times my sister and I would go to town in a 1984 Chevrolet dually that ran on propane with a couple bucks in our pocket,” Dunn remembers. “We’d have fun until the money was all gone, then head home. It was the norm for kids who grew up where I’m from.” She traces the song’s rock & roll attitude back to those childhood days out west, too. “Most people think when you make a living in agriculture, like we did, that it’s a laid-back life,” she explains, “when really you’ve got to rock & roll to get it done.”

“Gold to Glitter” and “Money’s All Gone” both arrive on the heels of Dunn’s R&B-influenced “My Love” remix, which debuted on October 4 and features a high-energy cameo from Beyoncé collaborator INGRID. With three new recordings hitting the streets this month, Clare Dunn remains as busy as ever, wrapping up a banner the only she knows how: by making compelling, consistent music.

After thrilling nearly three-quarters of a million fans on this summer’s critically-acclaimed Group Therapy Tour, Hootie & the Blowfish are keeping the celebration going with the release of “Hold On,” the first single off forthcoming album Imperfect Circle.

Penned by Chris Stapleton and Jim Beavers, “Hold On” serves as the forthcoming album’s only outside cut – an uplifting track the band felt compelled to record as the perfect message for today’s society.

           People say, let it go 
           That’s just the way it is, don’t you know 
           But I don’t see how it can do any harm
           To keep reaching out with open arms, yeah

           We gotta hold on, we gotta hold on 
           There ain’t nothing that a little love can’t get us through 
           We gotta hold on, when it feels like hope is gone
           There is a remedy for you and me 
           We gotta hold on to each other, yeah

The song was the last the band recorded for the project, but frontman Darius Rucker notes that they had no doubts about it being the perfect choice to complete the album; “When I heard it, I was like ‘this is the song.’” Adds bassist Dean Felber, “I remember listening to it in the back of the bus and it was just perfect – what it meant to me and what it would mean in today’s world.”

From there, the band made it their own. “Our producer, Frank Rogers on that track, did a really nice job taking the guitar lick and pepping it up,” explains lead guitarist Mark Bryan, “and therefore we ended up kind of Hootie-izing it, which was fun.” Adds drummer Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, “I don’t think there was a song that summed up more of a vibe that we’ve had within our band, going back to the early nineties and sort of lifting each other up and looking out for one another.”

The single follows “Rollin’,” “Miss California” and “Lonely On A Saturday Night” as a preview of what’s to come on Imperfect Circle. Set for release November 1 on Universal Music Group’s Capitol Nashville imprint, the album is now available for pre-order HERE.

Maddie & Tae unveil Part Two of their album, Everywhere I’m Goin’, on Friday (October 18th). The five tracks are the second installment of the new music they’ve been working on for the past few years. The new music produced by Jimmy Robbins and Derek Wells is anchored by the swaggering stomper “Bathroom Floor,” available now. Written Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye along with Josh Kerr, the fiery new track is a resilient response to the award-winning duo’s current single “Die From A Broken Heart,” which continues to strike a deep connection, tallying over 75 MILLION global streams, helping to propel the pair as the Best Streaming Country Female Duo of ALL TIME with 686 MILLION streams worldwide. Meanwhile, “Die From A Broken Heart’s” videos have mounted nearly 18 million views total, catapulting Maddie & Tae as the top video streaming female artist(s) on Billboard’s Top 200 Streaming Chart for current tracks for multiple weeks.

Josh Turner took home his first ever Gospel Music Association Dove Award for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year with “I Saw The Light” featuring Sonya Isaacs. This song comes off his critically-acclaimed album, I Serve A Savior. The awards ceremony took place Tuesday, Oct. 15 in Nashville, Tenn. where Turner was also nominated for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year with “How Great Thou Art” featuring Sonya Isaacs, and Bluegrass/Country/Roots Album of the Year for I Serve A Savior.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3r8zB5gzvR/

I Serve A Savior debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen’s Top Current Country Albums Chart and No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart and Billboard’s Top Christian Albums Chart. The “musically brilliant” (Worship Magazine) album remained Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart for 17 consecutive weeks and it currently sits Top 10 on the Top Current Contemporary Christian Albums chart, as it has for nearly a year since its Oct. 2018 release.

About Josh Turner:
With his rich, deep voice and distinctive style, MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner is one of country music’s most recognizable hit-makers. From his 2003 Platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his 2017 Billboard No. 1 release, Deep South, Turner has scored multiple GRAMMY®, CMA, ACM and GMA Dove Award nominations and received six Inspirational Country Music Awards. As one of the youngest members inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, Turner has sold more than 8.5 million units, topped more than 2 billion in global streaming and populated radio with such memorable hits as “Hometown Girl,” “Would You Go With Me,” “Your Man,” “Time Is Love,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance” and “Long Black Train.”

With his latest, I Serve A Savior, Turner adds an exciting new dimension to his already acclaimed career. I Serve A Savior is a thoughtful gospel collection that finds Turner’s rich, distinctive baritone paired with timeless classics including “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art” and “Great Is Your Faithfulness,” as well as introducing originals including the title track, “I Serve A Savior,” and “The River (of Happiness),” written by his wife, Jennifer, and their eldest son, Hampton.

Turner is a disciple of traditional country music, a mentor to up-and-coming artists, and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry.  Turner has been an Opry member for over 10 years and he recently reveled in his 150th performance on the famed Opry circle.

The Hannah, S.C. native has been songwriting and performing since he was a child, and in support of music education, he created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts and music. As a high school student, Turner had very little access to music education, therefore realizes first-hand the importance of arts education in schools.
