ERIC CHURCH AND LUKE COMBS NAMED CO-RECIPIENTS OF CRS 2025 ARTIST HUMANITARIAN AWARD (PRESS RELEASE)

(Nashville, Tennessee – January 22, 2025) Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) is proud to announce Eric Church and Luke Combs as co-recipients of the CRS 2025 Artist Humanitarian Award. This prestigious honor will be presented on Friday, February 21, 2025, during the annual Country Radio Seminar (CRS) in Nashville.

This year’s award recognizes the unparalleled efforts of Church and Combs, who raised over $24 million in under a month, driven by an October 26 stadium concert in Charlotte that drew a record-breaking 82,000 fans. Remarkably, this massive event, which typically requires over a year of planning, was mobilized by their collective teams in just 28 days.

Eric Church, through his nonprofit organization Chief Cares, announced plans to build 100 homes for hurricane victims, starting in Avery County, providing critical shelter to families affected by the devastating storms while also committing to helping address longer-term needs like creating jobs, rebuilding schools, and supporting local businesses. In addition, Eric signed over all publishing royalties from his latest release, “Darkest Hour,” to the people of North Carolina.

Meanwhile, Luke Combs and his team are working directly with North Carolina-based relief efforts to ensure funds are distributed where they are needed most. Their contributions support organizations, including Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina.

CRB Awards Committee Chair Beverlee Brannigan shared: “Eric Church and Luke Combs’ love for their home state has been nothing short of inspiring. Their dedication to helping North Carolina recover after Hurricane Helene and their ongoing efforts show just how much they care. This award is a heartfelt recognition of their commitment, hard work, and genuine compassion for the people of North Carolina. Eric and Luke, we’re proud to honor you.”

The CRB Artist Humanitarian Award was established in 1990 to recognize country artists whose philanthropic efforts have significantly improved the effectiveness and impact of the causes they support. Past recipients include Kane Brown, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, and more.

About Country Radio Seminar (CRS): Country Radio Seminar (CRS) is an annual event that brings together professionals from across the country music and radio industries to share ideas, collaborate, and celebrate achievements.

About Eric Church

A seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner (including the 2020 award for Entertainer of the Year) and 10-time GRAMMY nominee, Eric Church has amassed a passionate fan base around his critically acclaimed catalog of music. Church’s October 2024 release, “Darkest Hour,” saw the superstar signing over all of his publishing royalties to the people of North Carolina to provide immediate relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene while also providing ongoing funds to support a more resilient future for his home state. This was his first new music since 2021’s Heart & Soul triple album that followed the Gold-certified Desperate Man, which earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album (his third nod in the category) and prior releases including the Platinum-certified Sinners Like Me (“How ’Bout You,” “Guys Like Me”), Carolina (“Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most”) and Mr. Misunderstood (“Record Year,” “Round Here Buzz”), the Double-Platinum certified The Outsiders (“Like a Wrecking Ball,” “Talladega”) and the 3x Platinum-certified Chief (“Springsteen,” “Drink In My Hand”), as well as 36 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certified songs. Church is also a minority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, a co-owner of the iconic Field & Stream brand, has his own SiriusXM music channel, “Eric Church Outsiders Radio,” his own liquor offering, Whiskey JYPSI, and recently opened Chief’s, a six-story venue on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway.

About Luke Combs

Country superstar and 2x CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs is a multi-platinum, award-winning artist from Asheville, NC. In the midst of yet another triumphant year, Combs recently became the first country artist to have three singles certified RIAA Diamond and saw his Grammy-nominated single, “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” reach #1 at country radio, leading Combs to spend 53 cumualtvie weeks atop the Billboard Country Airplay chart. The achievements follow Combs’ latest album, Fathers & Sons, which reflects on his own experiences as a dad and the unique bond between parents and their children. Released to critical acclaim, NPR Music praises, “he’s going beyond the country realm now and really has become a pop star, a global popstar,” while The Wall Street Journal declares, “filled with unexpected warmth and vulnerability…a perfect match for Mr. Combs’s warm and engaging style.” A Grand Ole Opry member and 11x CMA, 4x ACM, 6x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs is also featured on Post Malone’s new album, F-1 Trillion, is the subject of a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and has partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open Category 10—a multi-level entertainment complex in downtown Nashville. Known for his electric live shows, Combs will perform select dates this year including headline slots at major festivals such as Bonnaroo, Stagecoach and Boston Calling as well as several shows across Australia and New Zealand. Combs also performed an unforgettable duet of “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman at last year’s Grammy Awards and joined forces with Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor to headline “Concert for Carolina,” a special benefit show at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, which raised over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

JON PARDI ANNOUNCES FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD – OUT APRIL 11, DROPS TITLE TRACK (AUDIO)

 

JON PARDI ANNOUNCES DUAL-NATURED FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD – OUT APRIL 11

Pardi’s Signature Sound Has a New Spark with 17-Song Album Produced by Jay Joyce, Available for Pre-Order Now

Fans Can Listen to HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD‘s Grits-and-Glitz Core Title Track Today

 

Jon Pardi – Honkytonk Hollywood Album Art

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – January 17, 2025 – Capitol Records Nashville artist Jon Pardi began careening down the highway over ten years ago, leading the charge to modernize honky tonk with roaring guitars and a roaring, good-time spirit. Pardi’s reputation for punchy, against-the-wind bravado has only grown, with his upcoming fifth studio album HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD slated for release April 11. The 17-track album is the spiritual successor to his fearless breakout hits, and once again finds Pardi pulling out the stops to stay true to himself – yet giving his signature sound a new spark. Some tracks ring with pristine, pure-country tenderness, while others embrace fuzzed-out fiddles and soaring tripled guitars, or grungy bass lines and bottomless grooves. The title track, “Honkytonk Hollywood,” sets the mood placed strategically in the core of the album. It’s a grits-and-glitz tribute to the dual nature of Pardi’s life and mindset, and is now available to listen HERE with the full album available for pre-order HERE.

“Honkytonk Hollywood is just kind of a rock and roll song about a sexy girl. Kind of give them Hollywood vibes, and you’re loving it. And I don’t know, it’s a fun song. I think everybody’s gonna dig it.”

“Hey, it’s John Pardi and that was a song from my new album, Honkytonk Hollywood.”

 

“All my albums have been rock and roll with a country flare – this one keeps on rockin’,” Pardi explains. “It’s also the most grown-up record I’ve ever made, all my soul basically. ‘Honkytonk Hollywood’ is for the Nashville that’s in my blood and it’s also a nod to my California roots. And right now, more than ever, I hope it’s a way to honor and lift up the people of my home state.”

Enlisting Jay Joyce for the first time as producer and stepping away from the traditional Nashville recording system, Pardi spent three solid weeks in the studio, building each track up from nothing with his touring band handling the vast majority of the recording.  Starting the album off in overdrive, “Boots Off” explodes from the speakers with a brash guitar hook and roadhouse-rocking stomp, representing the first of many hot-and-heavy love songs. Tracks like the grungy “Rush” continue the flirtatious fun, fusing alt-rock attitude with a synthetic skid-row crunch and howling vocals, perfectly capturing the swirling ecstasy of desire. Likewise, “Love the Lights Out” melts into a steamy soul rocker with slide guitar hooks and a throbbing pulse – a soundtrack for love that takes its time – and “She Gets to Drinking” sways with an intoxicating swing. Meanwhile, others push boundaries even further sonically, with the current single “Friday Night Heartbreaker” pairing a dark, tortured blast of hard rock with a sleek singalong vocal. “Hey California” cruises down a Sunset Strip of ‘70s-style studio-rock sophistication – complete with dreamy vocal stacks and atmospheric guitars. And with the slow-grooving “Don’t You Wanna Know,” Pardi’s twangy vocal pleads for romantic reconnection through a cloud of mellow, new-wave pop.

Elsewhere, family-minded balladry makes timeless trad-country feel modern, with tracks like “He Went to Work” tipping a hat to the steadfast fathers of the world. And Pardi calls the cinematic beauty of his lump-in-your-throat life ballad “She Drives Away” “undeniable.” He goes all-in on the moody “Gambling Man,” a busted flat tuxedo-twang warning to avoid his dice-rolling ways. And the two-stepper “Bar Room Blue” aches with a woozy, San Antonio swing. But by closing the set on “Kinda Wanna Keep It That Way,” Pardi once and for all declares his creative independence. A tranquil, acoustic-groove anthem with the easy strut of self-confidence, its message sums up where the restless counter-country star is at – and ultimately, the foundation of his success.  But no matter how far he roamed, Pardi’s barbed-wire vocal fenced the new ground.

“We did what we wanted, and it stands out because of it,” Pardi goes on. “Taking the chance paid off, and I kind of want to keep it that way.”

 

HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD Track List:

  1. Boots Off
  2. Friday Night Heartbreaker
  3. She Gets to Drinking
  4. Gambling Man
  5. Hey California
  6. Rush
  7. She Drives Away
  8. He Went to Work
  9. Last Call Thing
  10. Honkytonk Hollywood
  11. Love The Lights Out
  12. Nice Place to Visit
  13. Hard Knocks
  14. Don’t You Wanna Know
  15. Bar Room Blue
  16. Who I Don’t Wanna Be
  17. Kinda Wanna Keep It That Way

 

With four Top 5 albums which include 2016’s Platinum No. 1, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE, and Pardi’s reputation for punchy, against-the-wind bravado has only grown. Never afraid to break from the pack, fourteen RIAA-certified singles feature six No. 1’s (like the back-to-back 6x-Platinum “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots”), and with years of blue-collar barnstorming behind him, the California native has earned his international headlining acclaim, alongside 9.3 billion global streams. For all the success of his multi-album, decade-plus climb, it has to come honestly, from a spark of true creative interest – and good old-fashioned fun. The lessons for Pardi, just made him stronger.

After headlining shows in the US and Australia including CMC Rocks this spring, the multi-Platinum country star and “spirited entertainer, with infectious energy” (Star Tribune) will kickoff his HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR on April 25, hitting 16 arenas and amphitheaters across the U.S. with support from Corey Kent on select dates and Kassi Ashton.
