Travis Denning just released his new song, “After a Few,” and he’s definitely taking the title to heart. He has started watching ABC’s The Bachelor…after a few.

Travis is headlining his own Heartbeat of a Small Town Tour, which kicked off this past weekend with opener Adam Craig.

Maddie & Tae, who are making their way up the country charts with “Friends Don’t,” took time out to put out a cover of “Little Past Little Rock,” originally released by Lee Ann Womack in 1998.

The two will embark on the Cry Pretty Tour 360 with Carrie Underwood and Runaway June May 1st in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Kacey Musgraves and Little Big Town will pay tribute to the legendary Dolly Parton, who is this year’s MusiCares Person of the Year. They’ll perform some of her biggest hits along with Maren Morris and Katy Perry during Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards. The Country Music Hall of Famer will also sing new music from her Netflix film, Dumplin’. This is Dolly’s first GRAMMY performance since 2001.

The 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards will be broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 10th at 8pm ET/5pm PT on CBS.

Due to overwhelming demand, multiple GRAMMY award-winning singer/songwriter Kacey Musgraves has added 17 new North American shows to her sold-out Oh, What a World: Tour. Following her previously announced tour dates, Kacey will hit the summer festival circuit, becoming the first-ever female country artist to play Coachella, and will then launch the second North American leg of her tour on August 24th at Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles, CA. These new dates, produced by Live Nation, will include returns to major cities such as Phoenix, Philadelphia, Boston, and Toronto, and will make stops in Santa Fe, Charlotte, and New Orleans, among others (see below for full list of tour dates). Artist pre-sale for these new tour dates begins today at 12pm ET, with tickets going on sale to the general public beginning February 8th at 10am local time at http://www.kaceymusgraves.com/tour.

Over the past year, Kacey has toured extensively in support of Golden Hour to massive critical reception, with NPR aptly summarizing, “Kacey Musgraves is magnetic – there are no two ways about it.” One month into the sold-out North American leg of her Oh, What a World: Tour, Kacey has dazzled press and fans alike. Billboard declared, “leaving the packed theatre would have anyone convinced: Musgraves isn’t just breaking country’s rules, but re-writing them,” Rolling Stone observed, “with each successive record, culminating in the velvety and confident Golden Hour, Musgraves has expanded both her sonics and her fan base,” and Variety enthused, “considering her gradual but inexorable rise over the past five years; considering the accessibility, intelligence, humor, positivity and wide appeal of her songs; considering the praise heaped upon her by critics (not to mention her two GRAMMY wins and the four nominations for her latest album, “Golden Hour“); and considering, most of all, the rapturous response she receives from her fans, it’s hard to imagine that within the next couple of years Kacey Musgraves won’t be one of the biggest stars in music.”

On February 10th, Kacey will perform at the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards in celebration of her four nominations for Album of the Year and Best Country Album, Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies,” and Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy.”

Golden Hour has been named Apple Music’s Global Album of the Year, and has been hailed as of the best albums of 2018 by everyone from NPR, Time, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Complex, Consequence of Sound, USA Today, Noisey, People, and Vulture, among others. Stereogum proclaims, “again and again, the album makes the incredible feel as natural as breathing,” and The Associated Press assures, “Golden Hour will put a smile on your face, and live inside of your heart.”

Citi is the official presale credit card of the Oh, What a World: Tour. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets beginning Monday, February 4th at 10am local time until Thursday, February 7th at 10pm local time through Citi’s Private Pass program.

Iconic entertainer and King of Country Music George Strait announces today his brand-new album Honky Tonk Time Machine due out Friday, March 29th on MCA Nashville. Comprised of 12 original titles plus Strait’s version of the Johnny Paycheck classic “Old Violin,” Honky Tonk Time Machine marks an incredible 30th career studio album for Strait. Strait, who produced the album alongside Chuck Ainlay, wrote eight of the 13 tracks including “Sing One with Willie” featuring Willie Nelson that the pair happily debuted at a recent Nashville show marking the first time the two country icons have ever shared the stage.

“I’m really excited to have some new music coming out,” shares Strait. “It’s been about two years since I’ve released a record. It was great writing with Bubba and Dean again and creating such a beautiful song with Bubba and Jeff Hyde. Also, it was a very special thing for me to be able to write and sing one with the legend Willie Nelson. I hope everyone enjoys listening to Honky Tonk Time Machine as much as I enjoyed making it.”

Four-time Entertainer of the year Luke Bryan wrapped Crash My Playa – 5^th Year Fiesta concert event in Riviera Maya, Mexico on Saturday night. The concert destination weekend SOLD OUT for a fifth consecutive year and featured two headline shows by Luke as well as Thomas Rhett and Luke Combs. Additional performers included Dustin Lynch, Jake Owen, Chris Janson, Mitchell Tenpenny, Lauren Alaina, Jon Langston, Travis Denning, Kendell Marvel and DJ Rock.

Crash My Playa – 5^th Year Fiesta kicked off last Wednesday afternoon with a pool party set by Langston and performances filled the four day event through Saturday night when Bryan concluded the weekend with his second headline set. Owen, Janson, Combs, Tenpenny, Dustin and Alaina all performed at the pool stage with high energy shows. Lynch’s Friday afternoon pool performance was a marathon 3-hour set inclusive of a spinning wheel of prizes, a Mariachi band cameo and Bryan joining for a surprise appearance. Alaina closed out the pool appearances on Saturday afternoon.

Combs set the tone of the weekend with the first headline night. Owen’s performance the following night made magic out of the rain before Bryan took the stage for the first of his two headline nights. Thomas Rhett made a cameo in Bryan’s Thursday evening concert and Alaina did the same during Thomas Rhett’s headline concert on Friday night. Bryan wrapped up the four-day event with a “Luke & Friends” set that included collaborations Janson, Lynch, Gavin DeGraw, David Lee Murphy, Alaina and Tenpenny with a very special appearance on stage by Bryan’s Mom LeClaire Bryan.

The four-night tropical getaway and concert experience was designed and produced by CID Presents as the ultimate all-inclusive Caribbean concert vacation. Guests were not only treated to poolside and nightly beachfront concerts, but were also provided with airport transportation, 24-hour concierge, optional daily activities and off-site adventures such as ATV’s and Zip Lines, Catamaran, Snorkeling, Deep Sea Fishing and more. The event was self-produced by the production arm of CID Entertainment, the premier music travel and fan-focused experiential agency.

Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning releases his new single “After a Few” to country radio today, listen HERE. Following his debut Top 40 hit “David Ashley Parker from Powder Springs,” this new single which Travis cowrote with Kelly Archer and Justin Weaver is an all too relatable song that tells the tale of an old flame coming back into his life with the help of a few drinks.

“I think this song really is just about that story that a lot of people can relate to,” says Travis. “Being attracted to someone that probably logically in your head is not good, but something in your heart keeps taking you back.”

The rising country star has previously toured with Cole Swindell, Alan Jackson, Chase Rice, Justin Moore, and most recently LANCO, and he is kicking off his first ever headlining tour “Heartbeat of a Small Town” on February 1^st in Rome, Georgia. Stoney Creek recording artist Adam Craig is set to open and tickets can be purchased at www.travisdenning.com
