Brothers Osborne is set to appear in new national television ads for Ram Truck. The 30- and 60-second “Support the Port |Brothers Osborne” commercial spots feature the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 pickup and will premiere during The CMT Awards tomorrow, June 6, airing live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN at 8/7c. To view a sneak peek, click HERE. Fans can check out the full videos tomorrow HERE.

As part of the commercial shoot, the GRAMMY-nominated duo returned to the Florida coastal town where they recorded their critically-acclaimed sophomore album aptly titled Port Saint Joe. Combining Brothers Osborne’s desire to give back to the community of Port Saint Joe and Ram Truck brand’s grassroots Ram Nation initiative, where Ram owners help in their communities, the commercial centers around the Port Saint Joe Theatre renovation project which included restoring the original neon marquee sign. The shoot culminated with a special public performance of “While You Still Can” which is also synced to the ad spot. The theatre has always served as a beacon of hope and progress for the local community.

Ram trucks have long held a special meaning with the reigning ACM and CMA Vocal Duo of the Year. The first time John and TJ visited Nashville, they made the 10-hour trek from their blue-collar hometown of Deale, Maryland in their Dad’s Ram Truck. To view footage from that special drive in 2002 and hear more of the story, click HERE.

Brothers Osborne is set to perform with Dierks Bentley during the CMT Awards on the collaborative “Burning Man”.

Keith Urban wrote his current hit “Coming Home” based on a guitar lick he loved from Merle Haggard‘s 1968 No. 1 hit, “Mama Tried.”

“I wanted to write something from that famous guitar lick in that song, and we took it from Haggard’s record, sort of manipulated it a little bit and put some new chords around it and wrote this music track,” says Keith. “What became the chorus was almost stream of conscious when I was listening to the track. I just wrote ‘There’s a place that I know where they all know me/I gotta get back now to the ones who love me/wrap myself around you/never let you go/there’s nothing in the world that feels like Coming Home.’ And it all just came out, and that’s what Merle’s guitar lick made me feel, so it was a very important part of the song.”

“Coming Home,” featuring Julia Michaels, is set to enter the Top 10 and is from Keith’s new album, Graffiti U. He co-wrote the song with Julia, as well as J.R. Rotem, Nicolle Galyon and the late Merle Haggard.

Keith will perform during this year’s CMA Music Fest on Saturday (June 9th) at Nissan Stadium. He’ll kick off his Graffiti U World Tour with special guest Kelsea Ballerini in St. Louis, Missouri June 15th.

Following the release of her “Space Cowboy” video earlier this week, Kacey Musgraves shares the video for “Butterflies.” Shot in Mexico City by “Space Cowboy” director Courtney Phillips, the visual captures the magic and thrill of falling in love. Watch “Butterflies” here: http://smarturl.it/kmbutterflies 

“Butterflies” was released to rave reviews, with NPR proclaiming it as “stepping easily beyond any genre category with a sunny sense that this is just where country should be these days.” The track is featured on Kacey’s critically-acclaimed new album Golden Hour, her third #1 debut on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. Golden Hour has been praised by everyone from NPR, Time, The Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, and The FADER, among others, with USA Today declaring “Golden Hour may be 2018’s best album yet,” and The Huffington Post calling it “the work of a self-assured artist breaking the mold instead of the younger version telling us that one day she would.” Kacey has performed music from Golden Hour on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and she will make her debut on Saturday Night Live next Saturday, May 12^th.

Kacey played Stagecoach festival this past weekend, with Noisey announcing her set “proves she’s the best future country music has” and The Los Angeles Times observing Saturday’s lineup “offered a triumphant set from Kacey Musgraves, who delivered on her early promise and handled her new stature as a soon-to-be headliner with confidence.” Kacey will wrap up her tour with Little Big Town this weekend, and will go on to support Harry Styles on his tour this summer. Kacey will kick off her headlining Oh, What A World: Tour this fall in Europe, with additional global dates to be announced. For more information, visit http://www.kaceymusgraves.com/tour.
