Kip Moore is anticipating the release of his new album, Damn Love, next month. The 13-song collection, which Kip co-produced with Jaren Johnston, is set for release April 28th.

“I’m super eager about getting new music out to fans,” says Kip. “I think that all writers and artists are always eager about that. It always feels like too long of a wait in-between records, but then I think it also serves its purpose in time for you to really gather where you head’s been at the last year or two of touring.”

The Georgia-born songsmith has a history of entrancing audiences around the world with sold-out headlining shows in Australia, South Africa, the U.K., Europe and a slot at Bonnaroo all slated for 2023. Moore holds on to passion in the persistent anthem, “Heart on Fire,” while “Another Night In Knoxville” captures the magnetic draw of the stage – a sweeping ‘70s-rock ballad that soundtracks a long-cherished memory. Meanwhile the refreshing “Kinda Bar” conjures magic from a roadside tavern, and a comforting sense of clarity arrives with gentle instant classics, “Some Things” and “One Heartbeat” (featuring Ashley McBryde).

DAMN LOVE Official Track List:

1. Damn Love (Jason Gantt, Jaren Johnston, James McNair)

Platinum-selling artist Priscilla Block has been one of the most exciting new acts in country music over the past year. Her relatability and honest storytelling have had fans hooked from the start. Priscilla is kicking off 2023 strong with the release of her brand-new song, “Couple Spring Breaks Back,” out now along with the track’s lyric video. The reminiscent track, written by Block, Randy Montana, and Chris LaCorte, brings back those youthful memories of finding a special someone in the blur of Spring Break and regardless of how many years have passed, the feelings never fade.

“I’ve been super excited about this song for a while! It takes you back to the younger days, spring break, fake IDs and that one fling you had for the week on the beach. I’m a sucker for a nostalgic song and this is that.”
-Priscilla Block

Priscilla’s recent duet with country star Justin Moore, “You, Me, and Whiskey,” is playing on country radio now.

Nashville singer/songwriter Sam Williams unveils a beautiful and vulnerable new track “Lost Its Allure.” The track details Williams’ thoughts of finding his own identity while grappling with self-doubt and feeling jaded in pursuit of his dreams. It is a meditation on the search for closure after a tragic loss, while also trying to find a place in this world.

Listen to “Lost Its Allure” HERE

Over soft keys and light production, Williams reflects on how the life he asked for might not turn out to be what he wanted – especially after enduring the loss of a loved one. He admits in the chorus, “Sometimes, I wish I was still asleep, so I don’t have to see the truth that’s standing right in front of me / Like when God takes your best friend and they say it’s just a lesson / I think, what the hell am I destined for, feels like this life of mine has lost its allure.”

About the track, Williams states, “‘Lost Its Allure’ is about life kind of losing its shiny-ness and its sparkle, and feeling that and fighting to get it back.”

Last year, Williams released his debut LP Glasshouse Children, which received glowing reviews right out the gate from Rolling Stone, Music Row, and more. He then followed up with a deluxe version Glasshouse Children: Tilted Crown which featured six new tracks, including “Ragdoll” and “Tilted Crown.”

Later this month, Williams is set to light up The O2’s iconic stage at Country to Country Festival – for more info on C2C, go HERE. He will also support Elvie Shane on his dates in Germany. All tour dates are listed below.

The grandson of country pioneer Hank Williams and the son of outlaw legend Hank Jr., Sam Williams is the latest in a long line of American originals, but he is not here for the sake of tradition. He sings with his own singular voice, and he writes in his own singular style, fusing gut-wrenching honesty with plainspoken poetics and raw vulnerability with deep empathy. Suffering the sudden loss of his sister and mother in recent years has been profoundly devastating for Williams, but through his journey of grief and self-discovery, it has led him to a deeper understanding of his purpose in life and inspired him to honor his legacy with truth and integrity. With “Lost Its Allure” and more music on the way, Sam Williams continues to prove that he is making a legacy for himself that is completely his own.

The 10th album landmark speaks to how time has flown in Bentley’s unique, 21st-century career. The diverse 14-track album of perspective and self-awareness, at many levels, from the personal to the professional is a testament to the many strains of Country music Bentley has mastered and cultivated in his career, from the arena shaker to the barroom weeper to the bluegrass fireballer. His current Top 10 and climbing single “Gold,” hits the core theme of perspective with a road-trip vibe and wisdom earned only by putting in the years and the work. He landed his first publishing deal in 2001 and released his debut album in 2003, producing an instant No. One single. The years since have revealed a rare consistency that’s fueled longevity – eight more albums that reached the top of the Country sales charts, resulting in 21 No. One songs, eight billion streams, three CMA Awards, 14 GRAMMY® nominations and membership into the Grand Ole Opry. Trendy sounds have ebbed and flowed around him over these two decades, but fans have relied on Bentley for something more nourishing and individual. He also has created professional endeavors outside of the music with his Flag & Anthem lifestyle collection Desert Son, along with his “Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row” franchise hosting four locations.

Universal Music Group Nashville is teaming up with Universal Music Canada on country newcomer Josh Ross. Ross, a Waterdown, Ontario-native, is already an established hitmaker in his home country with back-to-back Top 5 singles on Canadian country radio. Now turning heads in Nashville and beyond, Ross was recently named one of Spotify’s Hot Country Artists To Watch, has shared the bill with Bailey Zimmerman, and will join Nickelback and Brantley Gilbert on a North American tour this year.

“Josh is such a gifted songwriter with so much depth,” shared Cindy Mabe, President, UMG Nashville. “He’s made Nashville his home so he could hone his songwriting skills and has elevated his art and his fan base in a short period of time. Josh found country music through Steve Earle, and songwriting has followed him throughout his life. We are honored to get to work with Josh Ross, The Core and Universal Music Canada to take Josh’s music around the world.”

“For a long time, we’ve wanted to partner with Cindy and the world class team at UMG Nashville – but it needed to be with the right artist. That artist is Josh Ross – one of the most promising voices in country music today,” said Jeffrey Remedios, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Canada. “Josh is at once a phenomenal songwriter and magnetic performer who captures the hearts of fans with every song and every performance.”

With a first-rate team already in place stateside, Josh Ross is managed by The Core Entertainment and booked by The Neal Agency.

Parker McCollum released the official music video for his song, “Rest Of My Life,” earlier today (March 2nd). The clip, which features actor Cameron Cowperthwaite (American Horror Story, Dahmer-Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Rocket Man), depicts the toll substance abuse could take on one’s life.

.

While the video doesn’t really reflect what the Texas native was going through at the time, he wrote the song — which appears on his 2021 album Gold Chain Cowboy — during the pandemic as he struggled to cope with life while the entire world was shut down.

“Shooting the ‘Rest Of My Life’ video was certainly pretty intense. Cameron Cowperthwaite, who is an actor out of Hollywood who’s been in a bunch of films and super, super talented, really, really embraced the role of what we were envisioning for this video,” he says. “I would say the message of this video in terms of the graphic extent in making this video was much more dramatic and further along than anything I was doing in real life that inspired this song, but I really wanted to kinda push the limits. And, you know, I didn’t want to get done with this video and feel like we could’ve done more. I felt like we did everything we could do. So many talented people working on it made it so easy to capture exactly what we were talking about and exactly what that song’s about. Hopefully, it helps somebody.”

Parker is currently making his way to the top of the country charts with “Handle On You.”

Carrie Underwood continues to rock the U.S., with a sold-out show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville last night, where she was joined onstage by surprise guests, country superstars Jason Aldean and Brad Paisley, in addition to special guest support Jimmie Allen, who joins Underwood on all dates of the tour.

At the top of her highly-anticipated “hometown” show, Underwood greeted the SRO crowd, promising to blow the roof off the legendary venue, and was as good as her word throughout her entire two-hour set.

Approximately 30 minutes into the two-hour plus show, the audience, already buzzing with electric energy, exploded when country superstar Jason Aldean joined Carrie onstage to perform their multi-week #1 hit single, “If I Didn’t Love You,” usually performed by a virtual version of her duet partner in the tour’s set list.

The audience was surprised again later in the show, when Underwood’s longtime friend and 11-time CMA Awards co-host Brad Paisley appeared next to her onstage.  The crowd went wild as the pair performed a comedic parody number celebrating the unexpected reunion of “Paisleywood.”  Brad and Carrie went on to thrill the crowd with their hit duet, “Remind Me,” a beloved fan favorite.

Another highlight of the evening was when Allen returned to the stage to join Underwood with a crowd-pleasing rendition of the title track from her Denim & Rhinestones album, complete with a high-energy dance break.

Underwood’s 43-city arena tour, THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, continues through March 17th, with upcoming stops including Ohio, Texas, Arizona, the Pacific Northwest, and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena.  THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR is promoted by AEG Presents.

Carrie is making her way up the country charts with “Hate My Heart.”
