Singer/songwriter Jon Langston dropped the official music video for his single, “Now You Know,” which premiered yesterday evening on Outdoor Channel.  Directed by Chris Hicky, the video takes place on a Kentucky lake where Jon and his friends are enjoying a perfect Summer day on the water. The video perfectly matches the song, which entails imagery that describes who Jon Langston is as a person and illustrates a lifestyle that many people find relatable.

Additionally, Langston kicked off co-hosting #DeerWeek alongside Jeff Danker on Monday (September 16th), airing on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel this week through September 22nd.

Eric Church has become a staple as a celebrity picker on ESPN’s College GameDay show. He picked up the mantle and the picks this past Saturday (September 15th) as the crew made their picks for Week 3 of the 2019 college football season.

Dierks Bentley and Darius Rucker are among the stars coming out to help raise money for areas of the Bahamas hit by Hurricane Dorian on Monday (September 16th). The Hope 4 Hope Town benefit, taking place at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, will also feature performances by Florida Georgia Line, Ryan Hurd, Riley Green, LOCASH and many more.

Chris Stapleton joins Sheryl Crow on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday (September 20th).

The first installment of Ken Burns’ documentary Country Music premiered on Sunday (September 15th) on PBS. The eight-part series will continue through September 25th.

Dierks Bentley recently hit the links with none other than golf legend Jack Nicklaus. He even got the seal of approval from the retired pro golfer, who is known around the world as The Golden Bear.

Dierks is closing in on the top of the country charts with his latest smash, “Living.”

Keith Urban has become a car enthusiast over the last several years, and the reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the year is a well-known guitarist, who can play just about any stringed instrument he gets his hands on. He combines both of his loves when he appears on Jay Leno’s Garage on Wednesday (September 18th) at 10pm ET on CNBC. Check out a sneak peek below.

In other news, Keith joined Irish singer-songwrite Foy Vance on stage at Nashville’s Cannery Ballroom on Friday (September 13th). They collaborated on Foy’s song, “Burden,” which Keith performed at this year’s ACM Awards because he was moved by the song. They later hooked up in the recording studio to write and record. Prior to Keith’s appearance, Foy told the crowd, “I’m just gonna say it: I didn’t know I needed this guy in my life until I met him, and now that I met him, I can’t fuckin’ do without him. Please welcome Keith Urban.”

Keith, who just released the acoustic video for his hit “We Were,” heads to the Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin, Tennessee September 21st.

Eric Church returns to the road with the Double Down Tour resuming in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Friday (September 13th), and the trek continues throughout the fall. The uniquely-structured tour featuring back-to-back nights with distinct set lists in most cities has seen numerous sell-out crowds thus far, landing Church at the top of Pollstar’s LIVE75 and Global Concert Pulse charts for ticket sales averages while routinely earning praise from fans and critics alike.

He’ll play two nights in most cities and perform six albums worth of material. Unlike his Holdin’ My Own Tour in 2017 where he would sometimes play four different cities in less than a week, he has spaced out his shows to a city a week. You might want to catch both nights on tour, since he’s planning on changing his set list between Friday and Saturday.

“Some people may be surprised to learn that there’s only about five songs from our back catalog that are gonna be both nights. I’m going to play most of the Desperate Man over the two nights; probably six a night for those, but they’re not gonna be what they think. So, we’ll play ‘Smoke a Little Smoke’ one night, but you won’t get it the next. You’ll get ‘Drink in My Hand’ the next, but you won’t get it the first one,” says Eric. “So, we’re gonna make this a little bit where they’ll be those songs in there, but they won’t be both nights unless you go to both nights. It’s just the way we’re gonna do it. I think we can do it. I think our catalog will let us do it. If you come, you’re gonna hear ‘Sinners Like Me’ one night, but not both nights. And I think that it’ll make it interesting for the people that are coming, and it’ll make the show fun for us.”

Eric is nominated for a handful of CMA Awards this year, including Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year for Desperate Man and Music Video of the Year for “Some of It.” Carrie Underwood hosts The 53rd Annual CMA Awards with special guest hosts Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. The ceremony will broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena November 13th at 8pm ET on ABC.

Kip Moore dropped the official music video for his new single “She’s Mine,” today on VEVO, available to watch here. The song that has been praised by Billboard as a “pulsing” track that “leans on the heartland rock influences that earned him [Moore] frequent comparisons to Bruce Springsteen” compliments the new video that shows a more lighthearted side of Moore while searching for love. Directed by PJ Brown, the video for “She’s Mine” has Moore cutting up with a wide cast of potential love interests, as he navigates the search for the one throughout the “high octane looking-for-love song” (Tennessean). “She’s Mine” is the first taken from Moore’s upcoming fourth studio album and was one of the most-added singles at country radio upon its debut.

“Filming the video for this single is some of the most fun I’ve had shooting a music video in a long time,” shared Moore. “We just got to let loose and riff-off of the incredible cast we were working with. I can’t wait for the fans to see it.”

Moore just returned from his second noteworthy headlining stint in The U.K. this year where he was praised as “without a doubt the best live performer on the Country circuit right now” (Entertainment Focus). Moore is currently gearing up to continue his “wildly successful” (Chicago Tribune) ROOM TO SPARE: ACOUSTIC TOUR for a third leg this fall, following two previously sold-out runs meeting capacity crowds at every stop in the U.S., Canada and The U.K.. The anticipated run will kick off in Grand Rapids, MI on 10/10 and Moore has invited special guests Tucker Beathard, Devin Dawson and Kylie Morgan along for select dates. For a full list of tour dates, visit kipmoore.net.

Moore’s new single “She’s Mine” is taken from his upcoming fourth studio album, of which more details will be revealed in the coming weeks. The forthcoming project follows his ROOM TO SPARE: THE ACOUSTIC SESSIONS EP which sparked his acoustic tour and his third studio album SLOWHEART, which garnered instant praise from critics as his “most complete, cohesive declaration of his artistic sensibilities yet” (NPR), as well landing on multiple “Best Of” lists including Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, UpRoxx, Bobby Bones Show and many more. SLOWHEART included Moore’s fourth No. One single and follows the critical acclaim that surrounded Moore’s sophomore album WILD ONES and his PLATINUM debut album UP ALL NIGHT that spawned three No. One hit singles.

Little Big Town has released their new single, “Over Drinking,” which was written by Jesse Frasure, Cary Barlowe, Hillary Lindsey, Ashley Gorley and Steph Jones. It’s the first official single from their upcoming album Nightfall, set for release January 17th.The band will perform the song for the first time on television on NBC’s Today Show on Thursday (September 12th).

“We started recording ‘Over Drinking’ on the road, and it was a little crazy because we didn’t have a place to record and you have to have a quiet place when you’re recording,” says LBT’s Karen Fairchild. So, we basically built a makeshift studio backstage and cut drums and bass and guitars, and it was really fun and spontaneous, and it was all driven from our love of the song. And (we) got back home and finished the recording of the song.”

The band recently announced their forthcoming headline tour, The Nightfall Tour, which will find them with a once-in-a-lifetime performance at the historic Carnegie Hall in New York City on January 16th, 2020, the day before their new album drops.

George Strait is set to reissue his Strait Out of the Box: Part 1 on Friday (September 13th), available exclusively at Walmart.

In addition to the physical box set, a revamped Strait Out of the Box: Part 1 & 2 playlist is available to stream HERE, and fans can watch George Strait’s full collection of music videos HERE, newly remastered in HD.

    Audio / George Strait talks about a few highlights of his career beginning with his song, "Unwound."

    Download

    George Strait (great things in his career) OC: …happen to me. :36
    “It seems like just a year or two ago that I cut ‘Unwound’ and started this whole deal with MCA Records and everything. I had a lot of highlights in my career. You know, winning Entertainer of the Year was certainly a big highlight of my career and just being able to continue on with the same record label for this long is also, when you stop and think about it, that’s a long time to be with one record label, but I’ve had a lot of good things happen to me.”

The surfing enthusiast wrote, “Headed south as south gets to Key West Florida.  After seeing the impact Hurricane Dorian had on the Bahamas ,  I feel I gotta do something.  So I looked online for organizations already in motion, helping out the island of Green Turtle Cay, which I came to know when we shot the video for the song People Are Crazy.  I saw that my friend Paul Menta is heading up fundraising efforts with Key West Cares and putting on a show at the Key West Theatre. I want to be a part of what they’re  doing so headed down to play a few songs at the theater this Saturday night Sept 14, 7 pm.  If you wanna come down and check out the show or be a part in some way,  look up Key West Cares online for more info.  Also I feel like we can raise even more money at the full band after party at the Sunset Pier starting round sunset on. If you have something to auction, hit up Paul Menta at Key West Cares.  Paul runs Key West Legal Rum distillery and has just put in the first super sweet auction item.  Most of all, can’t wait to hang and see people gather up for the love of the Bahamas.
