  • TRAVIS DENNING’S JOB HAS ALWAYS BEEN MUSIC.

    Travis Denning has just scored his first Top 40 single with “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” and it’s something that he’s worked towards his entire life. The Georgia native began performing when he was 16 years old, and he hasn’t looked for another job…ever.

    “When I was 16 all the way through high school, my job was playing music; that’s how I made money. My weekends were spent in restaurants, bars, clubs, and my parents would be there, schlepping around my gear for me and helping me out, but they loved it. I think they just saw, I think they shared the vision I did, which I’m very thankful for. I think they saw that it was all going to lead to this. Sitting there, building your craft, working on it, like putting the work in, and I’m very fortunate to have folks like that.”

    Travis has released a teaser for the video for “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs.” The official music video will premiere on Wednesday (July 11th).

  • THE MEMBERS OF LITTLE BIG TOWN ENJOY SUMMERS ON THE ROAD.

    During the hot summer months, you can usually find Little Big Town on the road. So, their summer activities include having their kids out on tour and enjoying a little downtime with family before hitting the stage.

    “I love summer afternoons with our kids. We always have a kiddie pool out there and toys and…outdoor carpet and picnic tables,” says LBT’s Kimberly Schlapman. “[It’s] good memory-making time.”

    Little Big Town is co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour with pal Miranda Lambert, and the next stop on the trek is August 2nd in Orange Beach, Alabama. The 13-date tour will run through August 25th.

    Little Big Town is currently making their way up the country charts with their hit “Summer Fever.”

  • LADY ANTEBELLUM’S CHARLES KELLEY’S TWO-YEAR-OLD SON LOVES GOING ON THE ROAD.

    If you follow Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley on social media, you will see a lot of posts featuring his son, Ward, who can be seen strumming his little guitar or ukulele and singing along to some Lady A hits. The two-and-a-half-year-old may just take over on stage since he’s been on the road a few times since the band kicked off their Summer Plays On Tour with pal Darius Rucker.

     

    “Ward is all about the road. I mean it’s crazy. During our soundchecks he brings his little ukulele guitar out there on stage and dances around. He loves it and he’s obsessed with Hillary’s little girl, Eisele, and Dave’s little boy, Cash. They’re both older so he just kinda follows them around and does whatever they do, and it’s really cute to see,” says proud daddy Charles. “He got to see his first show because he usually goes to bed around 7:30 and we did a show here in Nashville for the Fourth of July and it started at 8. So, I begged my wife to keep him up to see it, and he loved it. He sat side stage on her lap the whole time for our show with those little headphones on, and I don’t know that was just one of those cool, proud and warm moments for me. And I don’t know if I want him to be a musician, but I do love that my family does get to come out on the road with me. They come about half the time, and it really is a special thing.”

    Fellow bandmates Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood may have their children on the road at times. Hillary is the mother of three — 5-year-old daughter Eisele and 6-month-old identical twin girls Betsy and Emory — while Dave is Dad to two — 4-year-old son Cash and 7-month-old daughter Lillie.

    The members of Lady Antebellum, who are making their way up the country charts with “Heart Break,” will take their Summer Plays On Tour to Bethel, New York on Thursday (July 25th) and Gilford, New Hampshire on Friday (July 26th).

  • BROTHERS OSBORNE PRESENT THEIR MOTHER WITH HER OWN HOUSE IN NASHVILLE.

    Brothers Osborne‘s John and TJ Osborne, along with their brother and two sisters, surprised their mom Trish with a brand new house located in Nashville where her boys are living the country music dream.

    TJ and John were doing an interview with her with CMT’s Katie Cook when they asked her where she was and who’s house they were doing the interview. Trish, who just made a full recovery from heart surgery a couple of months ago, had no clue they were about to present her with keys to her new house, which John, TJ and the rest of their family purchased. Trish joked, not joked, that she had to sell her single-wide trailer in Delaware, which she’s lived in all these years.

    Check out the surprise and the house in the video below.

    The duo is currently making their way up the country charts with their latest single, “Shoot Me Straight.” They’re also featured on Dierks Bentley’s latest song, “Burning Man,” which was the Most Added song at country radio this week.

  • KEITH URBAN IS ALWAYS WORKING TO PERFECT HIS STAGE SHOW.

    Keith Urban launched his Graffiti U World Tour a couple of weeks ago (June 15th), and he’s probably still trying to smooth out a few of what he perceives to be rough edges. He says it’d probably take a month to get everything solidified.

    “There’s nothing like just starting the tour, because the audience, the reaction will be pretty clear of what’s working, what’s not working, what’s kind of working, what works but not there in the set,” says Keith. “It’s usually a moving, flowing set-list until maybe a month, a month and a bit into the tour, and then it starts to solidify a little bit.”

    Keith just played Toronto over the weekend, and the word he used to describe the crowd was “alive.”

    Keith, who is closing in on the top of the country charts with “Coming Home,” will take his Graffiti U World Tour to Gilford, New Hampshire for a two-night stand beginning Thursday (July 5th).

    Audio / During rehearsals for his Graffiti U World Tour, Keith Urban and his band were reworking the set lists for his concert trek, but said there’s nothing like just kicking off the tour to let him know what songs work where…and what songs don’t.

    “There’s nothing like just starting the tour, because the audience, the reaction will be pretty clear of what’s working, what’s not working, what’s kind of working, what works but not there in the set. It’s usually a moving, flowing set-list until maybe a month, a month and a bit into the tour, and then it starts to solidify a little bit. But I have a feeling on this tour I might have several different sets that we rotate in and out, which is a way to cover a lot more material for the people that come to multiple shows too.”
