LUKE BRYAN SPEAKS ON LIVING A LIFE WORTH WRITING ABOUT (AUDIO)

LUKE BRYAN SPEAKS ON LIVING A LIFE WORTH WRITING ABOUT (AUDIO)

 

Luke Bryan reflects on the importance of living a life full of experiences worth writing an album about. He shared how his time off-stage is spent outdoors—whether it’s working on his farm, organizing his fishing gear, or preparing for the next hunting trip. “You gotta keep living a full life of inspirational things.” He credits this approach to his dad’s advice when he first moved to Nashville, reminding him to never lose touch with the things he loves. Now, Luke Bryan balances his career with family time and his outdoor passions, ensuring he’s always gathering new material for his music.

Luke Bryan – Living A Life Worth Writing About (AUDIO): “Well, with me, I love to, I rarely just lay inside on the couch and watch a day of football or sports. I mean, my thing is when I’m at home, I’m riding around the farm, I’m working on boats, I’m organizing my tackle shop, I’m getting ready for the next hunting or fishing trip or messing with my golf clubs. And then I got boys standing there with me the whole time, relining fishing reels. As long as I can be at home, you know. Yeah, I mean, when I moved to Nashville, my dad goes, make sure you don’t forget about your hobbies and what you love, and I never have. I mean, there’s times that I work hard and don’t get a chance to go on a hunting trip or a fishing trip or something like that. But now I’m a little bit older and can start being a little more stingy with my time, with being at home with the family and the kids and going, doing stuff in the outdoors, whether my children are with me or not, or running down playing a little 18 holes of golf in the morning, then coming back to the house and cooking dinner. And I think, yeah, you gotta keep living a full life of inspirational things. And I’m always knocking around the farm, relining fishing reels, getting bows and stuff packed for my next bow hunting trip. So just… Staying busy and hopefully living gives you more ideas.”

TUCKER WETMORE MAKES A SPLASH WITH WAVES ON A SUNSET EP (AUDIO CUT X CUT)

TUCKER WETMORE MAKES A SPLASH WITH WAVES ON A SUNSET EP

“At the forefront of country music’s crop of newcomers” (Billboard), Tucker Wetmore makes his formal introduction today with his debut EP Waves on a Sunset, out now. Featuring eight tracks, five of which were co-written by Wetmore, Waves on a Sunset was aptly named after the singer-songwriter’s favorite line ‘waves on a sunset’ from his life-changing single “Wind Up Missin’ You.” Wetmore celebrated the milestone release by hosting a surprise pop-up show for fans at Losers Bar & Grill in Nashville last night before kicking off his highly anticipated, sold-out headlining tour, Waves on a Sunset Tour 2024, tonight in Statesboro, Ga.

 

“This EP is the first time I’m getting to show you who I am in a body of work,” shares Wetmore. “With so much I want to say, it’s impossible to do in just eight songs. But by the end of this project, I hope you’re excited to hear more because this is truly just the beginning. I’m beyond proud and thankful to everyone who helped make this possible – the writers, producers, my team, family, friends and especially the fans. This truly wouldn’t be possible without all of you and above all, God.”

And we wanted to make it feel like you can roll your windows down and listen to it down the road. And we just kind of put all that in one song.”

Tucker Wetmore – Mister Miss Her (AUDIO): “Mister Miss Her is a song about the classic country story where the guy messes up and he’s stuck missing her and she’s off to better things.”

 

Defining Wetmore’s ultra-modern sound and the boundaries that it confidently pushes, Waves on a Sunset shines a spotlight on his songwriting prowess and ability to select the tracks that speak to his quickly growing fan base. The EP features four previously released songs and four new tracks, including “You, Honey,” “Break First,” “When I Ain’t Lookin’” and “Mister Miss Her,” showcasing the three sides of his current life: the heartbreaker, the heartbroken, and the head-over-heels romantic. All eight tracks back Country Central’sproclamation that “everything he touches turns to gold.” The Tennessean also stands strong in Wetmore’s corner, saying, “Ultimately, he’s succeeding because he’s a quick study of modern tastes, naturally adept at toeing the line between country music, Western culture and global popularity.”

The EP opens with Wetmore’s latest release “Silverado Blue,” which Holler praised for its “relatable lyricism and his ear for a killer melody.” His breakout track “Wine Into Whiskey” follows, which turned heads as it debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, bringing Forbes to say, “clearly he’s off to a great start.” The in-love side of the project can be seen in “You, Honey,” before segueing into his follow-up Billboard Hot 100 single “Wind Up Missin’ You.” The “surefire hit” (Billboard) went on to become his first single at Country radio and is currently in the Top 20 and climbing. The second half of the EP features “Break First” where he explores inner conflict over an 1980’s-inspired pulse. “When I Ain’t Lookin’” celebrates life’s unexpected blessings before the “achy breaky” (Seattle Times) “What Would You Do?.” “Mister Miss Her” rounds out the EP with a raw, acoustic ballad that embraces heartbreak.

Eric Church – “Darkest Hour (Redeeming Helene) Audio Story: “The Darkest Hour isn’t just another song. It’s a story for the unsung heroes, the people who show up when the world’s falling apart. When the night’s at its blackest, this is for those who are holding the light, guiding the lost and pulling us through. It’s for the ones who are standing tall when we’re all low, reminding us that even in your darkest hour, there’s still a way forward.”

Eric Church – “Darkest Hour (Redeeming Helene): Thoughts On Devastation and Raising Awareness: “You know, the area affected by Hurricane Helene, the mountains of Western North Carolina, is an area that I spend half the year in now. I grew up there, but we spend four or five months there. And it’s just heartbreaking and devastating to see what’s happened there to people’s lives. There’s communities that are… literally just gone, where the waters came through or just catastrophic wind damage, water damage. And the community, I live in there in the summer, was greatly affected. And we had a lot of people there that their lives were affected. These are my neighbors, these are my friends, these are my community members and family members. And it’s just, it’s a devastating thing. And this song, Darkest Hour, was the best way I could think to try to help. We’ve been helping with boots on the ground stuff and trying to do stuff, but this is something that will live beyond just the immediate recovery. And this is a thing that’s, it’s gonna take a long time. This is not a quick thing to fix. And hopefully this song forever will be able to contribute to that. And if nothing else, raise awareness for what’s… what’s happening in the mountains there, as well as East Tennessee.”

Eric Church – “Darkest Hour (Redeeming Helene): ChiefCares.com Audio: “Hey this is Eric Church. I’m devastated by the hurricane destruction in the mountains of western North Carolina, East Tennessee, and other parts of the country. These are our family members. They’re our friends, they’re our neighbors, and they’re in dire need of help. If you’re able to help others in this time of need, you can find ways to donate today at ChiefCares.com.”

 

 

“From Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, Upstate South Carolina, parts of Georgia and even Florida which took a direct hit, there are so many places that were impacted. Specifically in the area that I’m from, the mountains of Western North Carolina were devastated. There are places that are just biblically gone. These are our family members, they’re our friends, they’re our neighbors – and they’re in dire need of help,” reflects Church. “And I’ve been in the studio for a while, trying some different things and exploring creativity. I had this song that I’d written, and the line that struck me in light of the recent devastation was ‘I’ll come running,’ because there are a lot of people out there right now who are in their darkest hour and they need people to come running. We were going to wait to release music until next year, but it just didn’t feel right to wait with this song. Sometimes you give songs their moment and sometimes they find their own moment.

“This song, ‘Darkest Hour,’ was the best way I could think to try to help. We’ve been helping with boots on the ground efforts, but this is something that will live beyond just the immediate recovery. This is not a quick thing to fix, so hopefully ‘Darkest Hour’ will be able to contribute to that for a long time to come. This song goes to my home, North Carolina, now and forever.”

He continues, “‘Darkest Hour’ is a song dedicated to the unsung heroes, the people who show up when the world’s falling apart. This is for the folks who show up in the hardest times, offering a hand when it’s most needed, and standing tall when others can’t. Even in your darkest hour, they come running. When the night’s at its blackest, this is for those who are holding the light, guiding the lost and pulling us through. The message of the song specifically in this time is about Hurricane Helene and the people that need help, but in a broader view, it’s about any challenging times that we have in our life, which we’ll all have. And it’s always important to know that in your darkest hour, there are people that will come running, there are people that will help. And I think it’s also important to be one of the people that go running when other people need help.
