  • CARRIE UNDERWOOD STARS IN ALL-NEW NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL SHOW OPEN & WELCOMES ICON JOAN JETT FOR NEW RENDITION OF “WAITING ALL DAY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT.”

    NBC’s Sunday Night Football, primetime television’s No. 1 program for an unprecedented eight consecutive years, will unveil an all-new show open with Carrie Underwood this season, with a nod to the first-ever NBC SNF open in 2006 featuring a new rendition of the original “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” music.

    Underwood, the seven-time Grammy Award-winner and multi-platinum recording artist, stars in the NBC SNF show open for the seventh consecutive year and welcomes Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Joan Jett, who makes an appearance during Underwood’s performance.

     

    At the invitation of Underwood, Jett – whose 1988 Top 10 hit “I Hate Myself for Loving You” was adapted for the original “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night” SNF show open music in 2006 – appears for the first time in the NBC Sunday Night Football show open. Carrie will also be joined by NFL stars (to be announced on Monday) in the new show open.

    “I have always been a huge fan of Joan’s, and I’m thrilled that she’s joining us for the Sunday Night Football open,” said Carrie. “What better way to pay homage to the original SNF opening song than by getting to play with her on primetime’s biggest stage?”

     

    “When Carrie brought us this idea, we immediately embraced it as a terrific way to evolve the performance, while also celebrating the song we used in our first 10 seasons of SNF,” said Fred Gaudelli, Executive Producer of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. “We were excited when Joan agreed to join us, and we can’t wait to debut the finished product.”

    *At halftime of this Sunday night’s preseason game (August 25th) on NBC (Pittsburgh Steelers at Tennessee Titans, 8pm ET), a sneak preview of the SNF show open will air. The full 2019 NBC Sunday Night Football show open will debut on Sunday, September 8th, as the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers.

    For the first time in the series’ 14 seasons, the SNF show open was filmed inside an NFL Stadium with Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons, serving as the “stage.”

    Carrie Underwood (loves being a part of SNF) OC: …my whole life. :54
    “I love being the voice of Sunday Night Football because I grew up watching football…from birth. I’m from Oklahoma – we’re a football state. It’s just a part of the country that everybody has their teams and there’s such an energy about it. We would drive down to Dallas and watch the Cowboys play whenever we could. There’s just something about being at a live sporting event or watching it on TV. You have your favorites. They have their rivals. There’s an excitement to it that really, it’s unlike anything else, so being a small part of that is absolutely amazing. It’s been so wonderful working with everybody at SNF, and I count myself very lucky and very blessed that I get to be a small part of something that I’ve loved my whole life.”

There are album cuts on this album that fans still request and want me to play in my live shows. I think ‘Drinkin’ Beer and Wastin’ Bullets’ was such a big song for me to go do live.

  • KIP MOORE GETS UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL ON HIS DIVE BAR TOUR.

    Kip Moore just launched his BUD LIGHT DIVE BAR TOUR in Detroit, Michigan. He said fans will get a never-before-seen show, as they “dictate” what songs he and his band will play.

    “We go completely off-the-cuff. We end up improvising all night long. We might end up playing for three hours plus. We’ll go deep in the catalog, and it’ll be unlike any show they’ve seen in a while,” says Kip. “As far as set lists go, we’ll have somewhat of a set list put together, but every night in the Bar Dive Tour will be a night the fans get to dictate what they want to hear. If we feel like they know the Wild Ones record the best, then that’s what we’ll go into. We’ll also play a lot more covers than we’ve ever played. We normally don’t play but one cover a show, and we might dig in deep to our original roots playing in these bar dives.”

    Kip has another handful of dates left, including Tuesday night (August 20th) in Cincinnati, Thursday (August 22nd) in Chicago and on Friday (August 23rd) in Madison, Wisconsin.

    Kip, who just released his new single, “She’s Mine,”  will also continue his “wildly successful” (Chicago Tribune)ROOM TO SPARE: ACOUSTIC TOUR for a third leg, following two previously sold-out runs meeting capacity crowds at every stop in the U.S., Canada and The U.K. Moore has invited special guests Tucker Beathard, Devin Dawson and Kylie Morgan along for select dates, with the run set to begin in Grand Rapids, MI on 10/10. Moore will also return to Europe this fall, bringing his full-band electric show for special headlining performances in London, UK, Glasgow, UK, Belfast, NI and a headlining performance at The Long Road Festival.
