Catie Offerman released a new song today, “Ask Me To Dance,” featuring singer-songwriter and fellow Texas native, Hayes Carll. Written by Offerman, Brent Cobb and Neil Medley, the song was produced by Dann Huff.

After rescheduling their writing sessions multiple times, Offerman, Cobb and Medley eventually got together and started working on another song, but it wasn’t working. Under the backdrop of a sunset and some beer, the idea of “Ask Me To Dance” was suggested. Offerman says the song fell out “pretty naturally.”

“I love listening back to the work tape – it’s the best kind of laid back, and it reminds me of a Texas dancehall at closing time,” said Offerman. “When we started talking about the song going on my (upcoming) project, I immediately thought of Hayes. He’s one of my favorite singer-songwriters and one of my favorite Texans. I am so grateful that he said yes to being a part of this song.”

“Catie is so ridiculously talented, and I loved the wit and playfulness of this song, so when she asked if I would sing on it with her, I said yes straight away,” added Carll. “We had a lot of fun recording the song and I think it shows in the way it turned out.”

Lyrics

This cover band knows more songs than the jukebox

Well, I don’t give a damn to sit here and listen to you talk

Lean in close, let me tell you something

I didn’t get dressed up for nothing

Beer’s getting warm, your feet look cold

I’m getting bored, and the night’s getting old

Neon’s running out of buzz, time’s running out on us

You better move quick before you lose your chance

Come on, boy, ask me to dance

Well, darlin’ I’ve got a pair of two left boots

How this night ends up is up to you

Well, the smoke is thick and everybody’s drinking

Ain’t no sense in overthinking

Beers getting warm, your feet look cold

I’m getting bored, and the night’s getting old

Neon’s running out of buzz, time’s running out on us

You better move quick before you lose your chance

Come on, boy, ask me to dance

Let’s go dance

I’ve already given you all of the signs

So, pull me in your arms before I change my mind

The beers getting warm, your feet look cold

You’re looking bored, and the night’s getting old

We’re about running all out of buzz, time’s running out on us

You better move quick before you lose your chance

Come on, boy, ask me to dance

All you gotta do is, baby, take my hand

And come on, boy, ask me to dance

Let’s go dance

I used to cover @hayescarll at my college gigs! Now he’s singing with me! I’m a lucky gal. I hope this tune makes you wanna find some neon, drink a cold beer and put on your dancing boots! “Ask Me To Dance” out NOW.https://t.co/GPhG6eT1z1 pic.twitter.com/4YSvmrrlRG

About Catie Offerman:
Catie Offerman may be a new name to country music fans, but she’s already gaining a reputation as one of the genre’s most skilled players and promising modern traditionalists. Originally from New Braunfels, Texas, Offerman grew up on a horse ranch. Home schooled by her father in the tack room of their barn, she gravitated towards music at a young age. Offerman started playing piano at the age of four which eventually led her to pursue other instruments such as violin, accordion and more. When she was 11, Offerman’s accordion teacher asked her to join his polka band. She played accordion and fiddle at German fests across the state for years, touring before she could even drive. Offerman also explored her love for Western Swing, diving into Bob Wills music headfirst. At the age of 19 she graduated from Berklee College of Music. She spent time in Sweden and Los Angeles before settling down in Nashville. In 2020 Catie signed a record deal with Universal Music group, sharing the same imprint as her idol, George Strait. When not writing or in the studio Catie is where she feels most comfortable – on the road. She’s toured with national acts such as Parker McCollum, Ian Munsick and Ashley McBryde. She’s collaborated with fellow Texans such as Josh Abbott, Robert Earl Keen, Kevin Fowler and Hayes Carll. She’s performed on the Grand Ole Opry and brought her style of Texas music across the pond to C2C 2023 in London. For more information visit catieofferman.com.

Jon Pardi heads to Calgary this weekend before heading overseas to continue his Mr. Saturday Night World Tour. Beginning August 25th in Belfast, he’ll make stops in Lutterworth, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, London, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Oslo before wrapping in Stockholm, Sweden on September 7th. The California native is looking forward to getting over there and putting on a good show for the fans.

“I’m just looking forward to seeing the fans out there playing some venues that we haven’t played before and kinda going back to more of a smaller setting when we’ve been doing big shows out here in the States, so it’ll definitely be different, but I think it’ll be very memorable,” says Jon. “I look forward to building that next step in my U.K presence over there in the music industry and being a live performer. I know it’s pretty much sold-out, and that’s exciting. I know all the interviews I’ve done with the people interviewing me, they just talk about how everybody’s so excited and it’s a big deal and so I want to make sure they get a great show.”

Jon is poised to enter the top of the country charts with his latest single, “Your Heart Or Mine.”

Country music superstar Luke Bryan sold out his sixth consecutive concert in Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night. He last headlined the venue in 2021 and played two back-to-back sold-out dates in both 2013 and 2017. He talked to the Tennessean about how he keeps that “special magic” with fans. Chayce Beckham, Jackson Dean and Ashley Cooke were the special guests.

And that magic was given back to Luke ten-fold last night as the entire arena rallied around their super star as he fought hard through vocal cord congestion “because I was not going to cancel Nashville under any circumstance,” he said. He kept them on their feet and the longer he played the taller they stood. Luke adapted the show’s setlist throwing in tunes from some of his heroes like Lionel Richie and Ronnie Milsap and offered the crowd a powerful 100% committed performance. He told them in the early days of his career he would drive around the city of Nashville hoping to get the chance to play Bridgestone someday. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought I could come into this arena and play whatever the hell I want for two hours.”

Before the show, Luke was presented with the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award in recognition of his standing as one of the most streamed artists in SoundExchange’s 20-year history. He joins R&B superstar Usher and Music Fairness Award recipient Dionne Warwick among those most recently honored by SoundExchange, an organization that collects and distributes digital performance royalties on behalf of more than 650,000 music creators and has distributed more than $10 billion to date.

Luke was also presented with multi-Platinum and Gold plaques for RIAA certifications that have accumulated in the last few years, including his first #1 single “Do I” (4x PLATINUM), his most recent #1 single “Country On” (GOLD) and his last album Born Here Live Here Die Here (GOLD) and its five #1 singles. His overall RIAA certifications total 98.5 Million.

• “Waves” – GOLD
• “What She Wants Tonight” – PLATINUM
• “Knockin’ Boots” – 3x PLATINUM
• “One Margarita” – 2x PLATINUM
• “Down To One” – PLATINUM

Luke released a new song last week from his forth coming album, “Southern and Slow.” The song was written by Matt Dragstrem, Josh Thompson and Chase McGill and co-produced by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens. Listen HERE.

Luke’s latest single, “But I Got A Beer In My Hand,” has entered the Top 10 on the country charts.

Parker McCollum  just had a pinch-me moment when NFL Hall of Famer Peyton Manning came out on stage to sing Brooks and Dunn’s “Red Dirt Road” with him at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.

Luke Bryan releases a new song “Southern and Slow” today across all digital platforms. “Southern and Slow,” the third song off a forth coming album, was written by Matt Dragstrem, Josh Thompson and Chase McGill and co-produced by Jeff Stevens and Jody Stevens.

“‘Southern and Slow’ reflects on simple times,” says Luke. “Those picture-perfect moments like the sun setting behind a water tower, honey dripping off a spoon, well, it doesn’t get much countrier than that. Let’s slow it down southern style because this life seems to be moving faster than ever.”

Luke’s current radio single “But I Got A Beer In My Hand,” the follow up single to his 30th career No. 1 “Country On,” is poised to enter the Top 10 on the country charts.

The five-time Entertainer of the Year recently revealed his final run of dates for his Las Vegas residency at Resorts World. He will continue his Country On Tour in Nashville on Saturday (August 12th), followed by a show on Sunday (August 13th) in Brandon, Mississippi. For more information on tour dates, click here.

As current single “Giving Up On That” continues climbing the charts, MusicRow-dubbed “master country talent,” Dalton Dover releases a new Friday night anthem with “Night To Go” via UMG Nashville/Mercury Records.

“When I heard this song for the first time, it took me back to being a kid. This is the kind of music I grew up listening to,” shares Dover. “I wanted to do something that would make my ‘90s Country heroes proud.”

Written by Cole Taylor, Trea Landon, Shane Minor and Michael Carter, “Night To Go” is a nostalgic ‘90s barn burner with copious steel guitar, as Dover showcases his powerful voice and delivers the perfect night in the country:

It ain’t parking with your buddies at the same ol’ bar

Drinking all the same ol’ drinks

It ain’t hangin’ at the house all by yourself

Staring at a football game

Well there’s a million different ways to burn some moonlight

But if you asked me there ain’t nothing like

Pick her up at seven, she climbs on in

Ride around a little to a country song

Pull into that county line and go

And go and get our cold beer on

Lean in for a kiss underneath the stars

Til the sun shows up, just hold her close

That’s about as good as a good ol’ boy

Would ever want a night to go

Dover’s first official single “Giving Up On That” debuted as the most-added song at Country radio, with MusicRow calling it “a solid winner,” boasting, “this power ballad of regret and yearning gives him a super showcase for his dynamic, whisper-to-a-scream vocal ability,” and of Dover, “make this man a star.”

Ahead of Mother’s Day, the Georgia native paid tribute to his mother with “I Wouldn’t Be Here” and delivered a preview of the song as he shared his mom’s reaction to hearing it for the first time on his Instagram.

Named a Pandora 2023 Artist to Watch, an Amazon Music 2023 Breakthrough Artist to Watch: Country Class and a member of CMT’s LISTEN UP 2023 Class, Dover made his international debut earlier this year at C2C: Country to Country Festival’s CMA Songwriters Series before joining Chase Rice on the Way Down Yonder Tour. This summer, the Georgia native performed across four stages at CMA Fest, including the Nissan Stadium Platform Stage, and played Luke Combs’ Whiskey Jam Bootleggers Tailgate Party at Gillette Stadium in July. Dover is currently on the road with select dates supporting Tyler Hubbard, Parker McCollum and Priscilla Block among festival performances.

“Night To Go” Lyrics Available for Download HERE

Jordan Davis released the official music video for his new single, “Tucson Too Late.” The Louisiana native co-wrote the follow-up to his recent multi-week No. 1 “Next Thing You Know” with his brother Jacob Davis and brothers Josh and Matt Jenkins, the same dream team behind “Buy Dirt.”

He says of the song inspired by Keith Whitley’s “Miami, My Amy,” “I really like the way we kept this very simple, we let the lyrics speak, we tried to really just kinda make the listener feel the kinda worry that this guy was going through trying to get this girl back, and I think Paul (DiGiovanni) absolutely nailed the production on it in letting the vocals speak and letting the lyrics shine. And I think too, like it’s something that I’ve never done. I don’t think I’ve ever released a song that is as maybe traditional as this one. You know, stuff like this is what I grew up on. Being able to have a song like this out that has this kinda feel, I don’t know, for me it’s fun.”

Jordan will perform his new single when he performs in in Salt Lake City on Friday (August 11th) and in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Saturday (August 12th) on Dierks Bentley’s Gravel & Gold Tour.

Jordan is set to kick off his own headlining Damn Good Time Tour August 31st in Atlanta, Georgia.
