Tim Montana is rallying the troops for his inaugural American Thread benefit concert, set for October 2 at Nashville's City Winery. The special concert event will benefit Special Ops Xcursions, a nonprofit that supports U.S. special operations forces and their families. Montana will headline and is planning for several surprise guest performers.

For the past three years, Montana has headed up the American Thread Sporting Clays Shoot in Nashville, drawing celebs who lent their time to help our nation's military heroes. Previous celeb attendees include Charlie Sheen, Colbie Caillat, Travis Pastrana, Lee Brice, Steve Cropper and more. In addition to the concert, Montana will continue his tradition with the fourth annual Tim Montana & Friends American Thread Sporting Clays Shoot, set for October 3 at the Nashville Gun Club. The yearly event has generated nearly one million dollars since its inception.

“I’m honored to get to serve those that have served us," says Montana. "Raising money through the American Thread Shoot has been one of the highlights of my life and career and has been life changing to our active duty soldiers, veterans and their families.”

“The Tim Montana and Friends American Thread Shoot has helped us impact thousands of special operations family members," explains Special Ops Xcursions executive director Scott Graves. "The funds and awareness raised provides the opportunity for healing to happen in the outdoors! Bottom line, our warriors still in the fight need us and we need them. The world is a better place by this remarkable combination of celebrities and our nations most elite soldiers.”

Tickets for the American Threads benefit concert go on-sale this Friday, July 21, via citywinerynashville.com. Pre-sales begin tomorrow, July 19. To sponsor or participate in this year's clays shoot event, visit americanthreadshoot.com.

Stars of the Grand Ole Opry, 5x GRAMMY® Award winners individually, 3x GRAMMY® Award nominees collectively, 4x DOVE Award winners and 35x IBMA Awards winners altogether, Dailey & Vincent – Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent – continue adding to their Country, Bluegrass, and Gospel roots with the release their new Country record appropriately titled Let’s Sing Some Country! on Friday, September 16.

Produced by Paul Worley (Lady A, The Chicks, Trace Adkins), and with songs written by and the help of Jimmy Fortune, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent and more, Let’s Sing Some Country! unleashes another side to the award-winning duo that fans don’t often hear. Since their first GRAMMY® nomination for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for their rendition of “Elizabeth” (nominated alongside Lady A, Little Big Town, The SteelDrivers, and Zac Brown Band), a Country project has been on their radar.

“Recording this project of material for BMG has been one of the biggest highlights of our career,” said Dailey & Vincent. “Working with legendary producer Paul Worley, picking great songs, and putting the best musicians in a room to help us create the art of music has been an education and an unforgettable experience. This collection of music is what we’ve dreamed of recording for a long time. We hope you will enjoy our version of Country music. So join us, crank it up and ‘Let’s Sing Some Country!’”

Opening with “I’ll Leave My Heart In Tennessee” (written by Karen Staley) – a love letter to the volunteer state, the latest Tennessee state song inductee, and the lead song from the project - the 11-track album ebbs and flows through the delicate ballad of heartbreak with “Colder Than Winter” to the swampy “Those Memories of You,” to the upbeat stylings of “Feels Like That Again,” “Hillbilly Highway,” “Message From The Farm” and more, channeling the duo’s southern roots with back-porch philosophies and homegrown sentiments.

LOCASH TAKES IT TO THE "WOODS & WATER" IN EP – OUT NOW!

TEAMS UP WITH MTN DEW TO REWARD FANS WHO EXPLORE THE GREAT OUTDOORS WITH “WOODS OR WATER” GETAWAY

Chart-topping BBR Music Group/BMG’s Wheelhouse Records’ rowdy outliers LOCASH are escaping to the WOODS & WATER on their brand-new EP available today (11/5) on all streaming platforms and digital retailers.

“Whenever we're about to release new music, we still get super excited, a little nervous, and extremely thankful that we have fans out there who want to be a part of this journey,” shares LOCASH. “Some of you have been ridin’ with us from the beginning and this one is for you, along with all of the new LOCASH lifers who have just jumped on the bus with us! We always want our music to bring a smile to your face, so hopefully you’ll find that feel-good feeling while you kick back, listen, and sing along to our Woods & Water EP.”

Offering an unapologetic voice for the people raised in the middle of nowhere, their Southern-Rock-infused tropes of rural life bring a much-needed fun-and-brash attitude to Country music. Inspired by not only where they go now to recharge as adults, but from each of their childhood locales – Preston Brust, a PK (preacher’s kid), was raised in Kokomo, IN, by way of Arkansas and surrounded by nature, while Chris Lucas grew up in Baltimore, MD, on the water – Woods & Water represents both.

Dropping five feel-good tracks with each penned by at least one member of the duo, the wild-and-free collection bobs on LOCASH’s high-energy twang along with lyrics that capture their signature big picture optimism and penchant for living large in a small town. Produced by Corey Crowder (Florida Georgia Line, Chris Young) with additional production by Clint Lagerberg, the getaway set bursts with party-ready anthems, laid-back grooves, and made-in-the-shade contentment, as it sonically rolls from earthy Roots-Rock, to sunny, beachside Country jams – and even reimagines one of American music’s most-iconic songs with LOCASH’s harmony edge on “Beach Boys.”

Touting bucket list writers for Woods & Water like The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Mike Love on the easy-breezy tune, watch the project’s salt-kissed visualizer for “Beach Boys.” Sampling the band’s classic “I Get Around” hook for a chill-Country concoction of oceanfront optimism and backwoods style, the go-with-the-flow footage was directed by Josh Warner, with sandy shots from the Florida beaches.


Continuing to live out its adventurous message, LOCASH has teamed up with MTN DEW to reward fans who explore the great outdoors with a Woods Or Water Getaway and a newly-launched Spotify playlist. Adding to the brand’s national Dew Outdoors campaign, individuals have until November 19 to win “Get Out and Do” prizes like the Woods OR Water Getaway of their choice (valued at almost $10,000), and two tickets to a 2022 LOCASH concert. Additional prizes include a 2022 Ford F-150, a yearly supply of DEW, and more! To get in on the action, individuals can scan the QR code in-store or visit DEWOutdoors.com to complete activities such as taking pledges, polls, learning something new, posting on social media, or getting outdoors. Full rules and regulations for the Dew Outdoors “Get Out and Do” prize promotion can be found here. Fans can also blast their favorite tunes by visiting Spotify for a special Woods or Water playlist curated by Dee Jay Silver.

Taking Woods & Water to the stage, the boisterous and unrestrained performers are currently headlining and performing festival dates across the country including Tortuga Music Festival next Sunday (11/14) in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Find all upcoming appearances here.

THE WOLFE BROTHERS ARE "STARTIN’ SOMETHING" WITH A NEW DUET RELEASE ALONGSIDE POWERHOUSE COUNTRY DUO LOCASH

Australian Duo Announces Fifth Studio Album Kids on Cassette Release Date: July 30

AVAILABLE NOW

Australian duo The Wolfe Brothers today announce the release of their latest barnstormer, “Startin’ Something,” with American Country duo, LOCASH. Hailed by the brothers as “a party starter from Tasmania to Tennessee,” the track delivers with a sonic vibe reminiscent of the international clinking of a Cascade Blue tinnie to a Budweiser can and brings together two much-loved duos with a generous helping of bravado and cheer. 

Produced by Lindsay Rimes (Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, Kylie Minogue) the good time tune captures a similarly joyful fusion of Country, Rock and Pop as The Wolfe Brothers’ previous hit collaboration with Rimes, “No Brakes.” “Startin’ Something,” originally written in 2016 with Jordan Brooker (Luke Combs), will be featured on the Australian duo’s new album, Kids on Cassette, which was announced today to be released internationally on July 30.

“We wanted to make a record we could play live anywhere - from the back of a truck to a stadium and ‘Startin’ Something’ seemed to be one of those songs that kept giving us that feeling,” said bassist Tom Wolfe. “We first shared a stage with LOCASH back in 2016 when their single ‘I Love This Life’ was dominating the charts— fast forward five years—we were digging through our catalogue and rediscovered this track and it transported us back to that time – we knew we had to reach out to the guys!”

In the five years since originally crossing paths both duos have signed with BBR Music Group/BMG and had a slew of successes including multiple No. 1 radio hits—to make for a pairing that promises great things and delivers in spades.

Emerging from their award-winning album, Country Heart, Kids on Cassette is The Wolfe Brothers’ fifth studio album and first following the band’s signing at BBR Music Group/BMG. “Startin’ Something” is the third single released from the new record and will be sent to Australian radio May 30. The track comes hot on the heels of their 14th consecutive Aus Country Airplay No. 1, “Anybody Ever,” which is still in the Top 20 (29 weeks and counting) as well as its predecessor, “No Brakes” that spending 22 weeks in the Top 20. With songs of this calibre Kids on Cassette promises to be a crowd pleaser.

Pre-save/pre-add The Wolfe Brothers new album Kids on Cassette HERE.

“We’ve pushed ourselves into new areas, feels and sounds for this record - It's got heart, soul and a lot of fun in this one—I can’t wait for people to hear it,” says vocalist/ lead guitarist Nick Wolfe. “We’re really proud of the end result and just can’t wait to play the songs live!”

TIM MONTANA’S NEW ALBUM, "LONG SHOTS", AVAILABLE NOW

Country rocker and bearded businessman Tim Montana today released his first album as a signed artist, Long Shots via Music Knox Records/BBR Music Group. In celebration, the Montana native appeared on FOX & Friends to talk about the album and perform “River Kids.” The performance was captured in Tim’s legendary garage in Nashville, which has been host to many performances from artists like Kid Rock and Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top). Watch it HERE.

The Montana native blends Country with rock electric guitar and influences from the West to deliver a collection of 12 songs that embraces hard and fast-living, the American experience and the blue-collar way. The music is unapologetic, relatable and raw and embraces the everyman and folks who ain’t afraid to do the dirty work. The album title is a nod to the hard road Montana had to take to arrive at this moment and how as improbable as his ambitions may have seemed, he overcame his struggles and all of the odds—and he did it his own way. As a whole, this album is an ode to the underdogs and screams “hard work pays off.”

“Where I come from nobody trusts you if you’re not a little dirty and I respect the hell out of that—I’m proud to have earned the calluses on my hands and dirt in my beard,” said Tim Montana, “It’s been quite the ride getting to this point and glad I got the chance to take all of the blood, sweat and tears and turn it into something that slaps. I hope those who feel overworked and underappreciated listen to this and know that this ol’ boy has been there and that I salute them.”

The music draws upon imagery from Tim’s days growing up in a single-wide north of Butte, Montana without electricity, grinding it out by taking odd jobs just to pay the bills (like cleaning kennels, operating a carousel, being a ranch hand) and hard living on the road. Montana teamed up with award-winning producer, Michael Knox (Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson, Thomas Rhett) to bring his stories to life and build upon his distinct sound, which draws influence from the rural, outdoorsy lifestyle with a hint of adrenaline, befitting of the off-the-grid thrill-seeker. The music is Country—but don’t mistake it for southern. With geography impacting Tim’s musical influences, he’s located somewhere between Seattle and its grunge, Texas’ roadhouse, Nashville’s Country, Wyoming’s Chris LeDoux, and the Heartland’s rock.

Despite his rough-and-tumble appearance and hell-raising tendencies, Montana has an unmatched magnetism that has made him fast friends from people from all walks of life including rock legends, tribesman, rappers, CEOs, NFL players, ranchers, fellow country artists and everybody in between. It’s with this genuine charisma that Montana tackles each song, whether high octane (like his Evel Knievel-inspired “Do It Fast”), or sweet and nostalgic (“River Kids”), leaning into his seasoned past to deliver authentic vocal performances highlighted by his gritty tones.

His unparalleled relatability is infused throughout his songwriting to deliver a comforting simplicity during these complicated times. Even his sweetest love song is no fuss. With “Bar Band” he simply states “I want to make you happy,” by employing the American experience and pure joy of being at a bar, listening to a live band to get his message across. The airy track, while so simplistic in its approach, is sharp and loaded with classic rock references—and is most importantly Dave Grohl-approved.

Chiefly considered an artist, Montana is a true Renaissance man, moonlighting as a TV personality, marksman, father, husband, foodie, hell-raiser, businessman and—he’ll soon add film actor to his resume (he recently wrapped filming for The Last Son alongside Heather Graham, Machine Gun Kelley, Thomas Jane and Sam Worthington). In addition to starring in his own show, “Tim Montana's Wild Side” on Velocity Outdoor Channel, Tim is involved in Ravin, CenterPoint, Crosman, Benjamin, Polaris, Black Rifle Coffee, Fender, Gerber, Bicycles, Indian Motorcycles, Kicker Performance Audio, Orange Amplifiers, Snap On and Traeger Grills, in addition to his own companies Whisker Bomb Original Foods (with ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons), Tim Montana’s Vigilante Cigars (with Big Sky Cigars) and Ol’ Boy Apparel.

ELVIE SHANE TO RELEASE DEBUT EP "COUNTY ROADS" APRIL 23

“My Boy” Singer Shares Rollicking Title Track With Fans Today

BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records artist, Elvie Shane announces his debut EP, County Roads will be released April 23. Named as one of Pandora’s “Country Artists to Watch 2021” with just one song released, the “My Boy” singer adds a second song to his catalog today as he surprises fans with the title track of his six-song project and introduces listeners to signature Elvie Shane. Listen to “County Roads” HERE.

Thus far, the world has only gotten to know Elvie Shane's tender side through his debut (Top 30) single, “My Boy” but across County Roads, the muscle car-loving Kentuckian reveals his full vibrance. Having co-written each track, Elvie shares his high-energy, larger-than-life personality by drawing upon his own blue-collar existence as the son of a truck driver, resulting in an honest portrait of life in small town America. The at times nostalgic EP combines picture-based lyrics, grit, classic rock electric guitar, soulful vocals to make for a colorful and proper introduction to Elvie.

“The response to ‘My Boy’ has been incredible and I’m glad y’all got to see my sweet side but I want y’all to get to know all of me—from the roughest edges to the smoothest surfaces and this EP tells folks where I came from, what made me who I am and why I am the way I am,” said Elvie Shane “I’m a product of small town America and County Roads is the raw, honest truth about my life.”

“My Boy” is a tender ballad in which describes his unconditional love for his stepson and was the catalyst for Elvie’s career as an artist. A video of the song went viral in 2018, catching the attention of many, earning him a publishing deal and eventually his record deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Released in 2020, the song has gone viral once again as tear-jerking videos of children playing the song for their stepparents began trending on TikTok, catapulting the song to the No. 1 spot on the platform. Now with more than 26 million on-demand streams in the U.S. alone, the family-inspired single has become an anthem of love to blended and unconventional families, leading Elvie to release a reimagined sister version of the single to meet fan demand.

In contrast to the sentimental single, Elvie unleashes his wild spirit with today’s release of “County Roads.” The rollicking ode to his upbringing was selected as the title track because it embodies the energy and sound of Elvie, through Country storytelling and elements from some of his biggest influences (Steve Earle, John Fogerty and Roger Miller). Wanting to honor his roots in the song and in real life, Elvie enlisted the choir from his high school to contribute backing vocals on the song and filmed the visualizer in his homestate. Watch the video HERE.

For more information, please visit his Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

Track Listing:

1. “County Roads” – (Elvie Shane, Dan Couch, Oscar Charles,)

2. “Keep On Strummin’” – (Elvie Shane, Dan Couch, Oscar Charles, Clinton Payton)

3. Sundays In The South” – (Elvie Shane, Derrick Southerland, Albert E. Brumley)

4. “My Boy” – (Elvie Shane, Russell Sutton, Nick Columbia, Lee Starr)

5. “Sundress” – (Elvie Shane, Doug Johnson, Adam Wood)

6. “My Mississippi” – (Elvie Shane, Jakob Miller)

Producer: Oscar Charles

LOCASH TEAMS UP WITH GRONKOWSKI BROTHERS FOR “CLOUD OF DUST”

CMT Music Award-Nominated Duo Follows Up No. 1 Hit with “Beers to Catch Up On.”

Chart-topping Country duo, LOCASH  today announces the availability of “Cloud of Dust (feat. The Gronkowski Brothers).” Striking up a friendship while quarantined, LOCASH and the football-loving Gronkowski brothers wrote the song while hanging out at Chris Lucas’ (of LOCASH) house. In conjunction with the song's release, The Gronks shared a video on their YouTube Channel last night which shows how the song was written and gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the song.. The track itself is now available everywhere digitally HERE.

 
 Kicking off with a banjo and a "chug!" chant, the song launches into a head banger complete with 80s electric guitar. The song offers a big more edge than we're used to from LOCASH, who are experts at crafting party anthems, with this one taking the good times to a whole new level. Infusing landmarks from the town where Chris, Dan, Glenn, Gordie and Rob Gronkowski grew up, the song reflects the fun-loving brothers affinity for a good time and reputation for partying hard.

“I’m not sure there is a group of brothers that know how to throw down more than The Gronk Brothers—they were the perfect pick to help us finish this song,” said Preston Brust (of LOCASH). “Not only did they add their infectiously, energetic golden Gronk touch to the lyrics but they also rocked some vocals on the track and made the song feel and sound like a big anthem!”

“We’ve been getting to know Rob outside of the spotlight and the touchdowns and he is an awesome guy—meeting his brothers and getting to work with them was such a fun, creative experience,” said Chris Lucas (of LOCASH). “It was also such a natural fit to collaborate with them, because our last album is called Brothers and it’s all about coming together and that brotherly bond.”

Hot off their No. 1 smash “One Big Country Song," which earned the pair a nomination for CMT Music Awards “Duo Video of the Year,” LOCASH appeared on the Coffee, Country & Cody show yesterday morning to talk about their latest single “Beers to Catch Up On” as well as their WSM at 95 special, taking place tonight, October 14 on WSM radio at 5pm CT.

“Cloud of Dust” was written by: Preston Brust, Chris Lucas, Dallas Davidson, Blake Bollinger and The Gronkowski Brothers.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM BROKEN BOW REGARDING BLANCO BROWN

Prayers and hopes for a thorough recovery to Blanco Brown. Such a cool guy. 

“BBR Music Group’s beloved Blanco Brown, the artist behind 2019’s worldwide viral smash “The Git Up” and current hit “Just The Way” was involved in a head-on collision Monday night near his home in Atlanta, GA. The accomplished writer, vocalist and Grammy-nominated producer suffered significant injuries and was transported to a local hospital where he underwent a 12-hour surgery to address those traumas. Additional surgeries are expected as he currently rests in the ICU. Blanco, his family and his friends ask for your prayers during this time.”

LAINEY WILSON TO MAKE VALENTINE'S DAY OPRY DEBUT

Rising Country artist, Lainey Wilson, shared her Valentine’s Day plan to make her official Grand Ole Opry debut on Friday night. In the spirit of the holiday, Lainey will be spending time with her first and biggest love, Country music, and realize her dream of standing on that iconic stage.

Stepping into Country music’s hallowed circle for the first time, Lainey will fulfill an aspiration she’s had since her first visit to Nashville at the age of nine. This morning, while sharing her excitement about Friday’s debut on WSM Radio’s Coffee, Country & Cody, she recalled visiting the Opry and walking by the WSM studio, thinking how cool it would be to be on 650 AM one day. Today, she made that a reality, performing two songs on the air, which earned a text from the Grand Ole Opry’s VP/Executive Producer, Dan Rogers saying “Wow, Lainey sounds great!”

“Most little girls dream about their wedding day, walking down the aisle in a beautiful wedding dress. Well, this is the day I’ve been dreaming about my whole life—to be standing in the Grand Ole Opry circle in a pair of bell bottoms, doing what I love,” said Lainey Wilson. “Stepping into that circle is about like stepping into Country music heaven. You hear about how it’s the best feeling in the world...how it’s better than you imagined it...but you don’t really understand until you get there and experience it for yourself. So many of my influences have stood in that circle. I’m humbled and excited to feel their spirit when I step in for the first time.”

Since releasing her first single “Dirty Looks” to Country radio, things have only been heating up for the newcomer—just last week she received a roaring standing ovation in front of a sold-out crowd in Springfield, MO (and consequentially sold out all of her merch), found out she has been added to several nights with Dierks Bentley’s 90’s Country parody band, Hot Country Knights in addition to opening for Country legend Reba McEntire in April.

Currently out on the road with Justin Moore and Tracey Lawrence on their Late Nights And Longnecks Tour, Lainey’s live performances, with her guitar-wielding rock ‘n’ roll swagger and rousing dance moves has earned her slots playing hundreds of shows with greats like Randy Houser, Morgan Wallen, The Cadillac Three, Jon Pardi and more. She also recently (January 15) performed on the Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots' Million Dollar Show, benefitting St. Jude and appeared on his popular BobbyCast podcast.
 
In the fall, Lainey released latest new EP, Redneck Hollywood. Produced by mastermind, Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Keith Urban, Little Big Town), the title of the four-track project is drawn from lyrics in the semi-autobiographical track, “LA,” which celebrates the Louisiana native’s down-home upbringing, zest for life and dreams of making it in this big world. In just four songs (all of which she co-wrote), Redneck Hollywood highlights Lainey’s depth as an artist like never before as she offers a thoughtful look into her psyche and all of its complexity. Mixing traditional Country sounds with grit, soul and just a bit of funk, Lainey has developed her own “bell bottom country” sound that reflects both her personality and her preferred fashion aesthetic.

CRAIG MORGAN HONORS VETERANS DAY WITH THIRD CONSECUTIVE SOLD OUT ANNUAL NASHVILLE SHOW

Memorable Night Includes Surprise Appearances from 

Gavin DeGraw and Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down

Country music entertainer, TV host and Army veteran Craig Morgan honored Veterans Day with his third consecutive sold out annual show at City Winery Nashville. The memorable evening included a live impromptu audience video call with a marine at Camp Lejeune and performances from surprise guests Gavin DeGraw, joining Morgan for “Soldier” to a standing ovation, and Brad Arnold from 3 Doors Down taking the stage for “Here Without You” and “When I’m Gone” for the capacity crowd.

Another show stopping moment included Morgan’s performance of his faith-filled tribute to his son Jerry, “The Father, My Son, And The Holy Ghost.” The song first made national news this fall, hitting No. 1 on iTunes All Genres Top Songs chart in addition to the Top Country Songs chart with the support of longtime friend and fellow Opry member, Blake Shelton. Shelton launched an unprecedented twitter campaign in support of the song he says he would “gladly give up (his) spot on country radio for.” The viral push gained support from several other artists and celebrities including Blanco Brown, Kelly Clarkson, Luke Combs, Carson Daly, Ellen DeGeneres, Charles Esten, Larry The Cable Guy, Angie Harmon, Gwen Stefani, Cole Swindell, The Today Show and more. In September, Craig reunited with BBR Music Group’s flagship label Broken Bow Records, his record label home for more than six years, and the song again returned to the #1 position on Nielsen Soundscan’s Digital Country chart following his October performance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

STONEY CREEK’S ADAM CRAIG TO RELEASE NEW MUSIC FRIDAY

“If You’re Lucky” and “Whatever You’re Drinking To” Debut April 5

Stoney Creek Records recording artist Adam Craig will release two new songs this Friday, April 5th. Armed with a natural ability to place listeners into the story and make them feel something deeply, Adam transports listeners back to their glory days in a small town with “If You’re Lucky,” while the up-tempo barroom tune “Whatever You’re Drinking To” will have folks longing for a cold one. You can get the two new tracks at midnight ET Friday HERE.

The artist’s Top 40 single “Just a Phase” made an indelible mark on the Country format, propelling Rolling Stone to declare him a “blowtorch of a voice” and one of its “10 Country Artists You Need To Know” (Summer 2016). Showcasing his ability to write a heartbreaker in his soul-bearing debut single, “Reckon” and the heart-wrenching fan-favorite “Why Can’t She,” it is clear Adam is not afraid to show his sensitive side. His two new tunes however, showcase his story-telling talents in a new light.

“This is the first time that I’ve really met with publishers and got deep into the weeds in the new music process and it feels really good, I’m so excited to share this new music with the world,” said Adam. “The last couple of months I have been able to play these on the road and watching the crowd’s reaction has been amazing! They are so fun to perfom.”

Both produced by Michael Carter, “If You’re Lucky” was penned by Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill while “Whatever You’re Drinking To” was written by Adam, Matt Rogers and Michael Carter. Adam himself is also a celebrated songwriter having penned Parmalee’s Top 3 hit “Close Your Eyes,” and scored cuts by Jason Aldean (“Church Pew or Bar Stool”), Dustin Lynch (“World to Me”), Love & Theft (“Whiskey on My Breath”) and more.

This weekend Adam will perform his new music live at the ACM Lifting Lives Topgolf Tee-Off on Saturday in Las Vegas, in advance of the 54th Academy of Country Music Awards™, Country Music’s Party of the Year®. Click here for more details.

RANDY HOUSER’S NEW ALBUM, MAGNOLIA, OUT JANUARY 11TH AVAILABLE TO STREAM NOW VIA NPR MUSIC’S FIRST LISTEN

POWERHOUSE TO PERFORM ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA ON RELEASE DAY AMID PACKED STREET WEEK

Listen Here  

 “Houser imagines and inhabits a blue-collar, tortured soul character with some of the most expressive performances of his career” – NPR

“He’s in his element, and truly going for it” –NPR 

In advance of its January 11th release, Randy Houser’s highly anticipated new album, Magnolia, is now available to stream in its entirety via NPR Music’s First Listen. Houser is set to perform his favorite song from the album, “No Stone Unturned” on Good Morning America on release day (1/11). Tune in Friday morning, to catch the first televised glimpse of Magnolia. Beginning Monday, January 4th Houser will be making appearances in Nashville, Los Angeles, New York City, Dallas, Houston, New York City (again) and Baltimore in support of the new album including performances on Sirius XM Play, iHeart Radio Theater and NASH FM.

This album marks a new era for Randy. Feeling impassionate, Houser opted to slow things down and set up camp in his good buddy and co-producer Gattis’ studio in East Nashville to recalibrate and rediscover his passion for creating music. He spent nearly two years fully invested in his songwriting which resulted in Magnolia and a new sound that is un-polished yet authentically Houser. NPR Music praised Magnolia, stating: “Houser imagines and inhabits a blue-collar, tortured soul character with some of the most expresive performances of his career.” 

“Magnolia has been my beacon of light and restored my spirit and my truth,” said Houser. “It’s also the most daring and honest piece of work I’ve made in my life.”

Houser’s fingerprints can be found on every inch of the project, having co-written every song on the album (and playing lead guitar on many of the songs). The album title is a nod to Houser’s roots growing up in “The Magnolia State” which was a large influence on the homegrown, organic sound showcased throughout the record—in addition to his new season of life. Despite the many changes, Randy’s thick, commanding vocals (that earned him four #1 hits, a slew of award nominations and critical acclaim), remain constant.

The album is available for pre-order now HERE. Fans can instantly enjoy album cuts "No Stone Unturned," “New Buzz,” “Mamma Don’t Know” and the album’s lead single and Top 40 hit “What Whiskey Does”, which debuted at Country Radio as #1 Most Added and Rolling Stone immediately dubbed "a classic tears-and-twang drinking song." Stream Magnolia HERE.

In conjunction with the album, Houser has also created a film of the same name which embodies the sentiment of the album’s lyrics. The film will feature several live performances by Houser himself (who also serves as executive producer for the project), including the lead single off the album, “What Whiskey Does.” Additional details about the Mississippi-inspired film are forthcoming.

Houser has released several videos derived from the film in advance of its release, including the acoustic video for “No Good Place to Cry.” Additionally, the country powerhouse debuted the official music video for “No Stone Unturned” today.

“They have put together an incredible team at BBR and with the full support of BMG behind them, there’s no better team to help take our career to the next level,” said Chris Lucas of LOCASH. “Talking with Zach Katz, who has made such an incredible impact on the music business and everybody on the BBR team, we could just immediately tell our music was going to be in the right hands and as a songwriter and artist, there is no better feeling.”

Additionally, in case you missed it, Everette recently revealed its “Slow Roll” music video. Making an epic introduction with themes of laid-back, go-with-the-flow vibes, the video is a must-watch adventure from top to bottom. Olympia explained to Rolling Stone, "it was crazy. We got into a 1982 Winnebago, made our way to Memphis, broke down about 40 miles or so [outside Nashville] – still had a good time. Pretty much life lesson: things don't always go the way you plan, so you might as well have a good time with it. That's really what the song's about."

CRAIG CAMPBELL REVEALS ALL-STAR LINEUP FOR 6TH ANNUAL CELEBRITY CORNHOLE CHALLENGE

BIG NAMES LOOKING TO SCORE IN SUPPORT OF 

FIGHT COLORECTAL CANCER ON JUNE 5 

 “SEE YOU TRY” HIT MAKER HAS HELPED RAISE MORE THAN $300K TO DATE

 Craig Campbell is proud to announce the official lineup of his 6th Annual Celebrity Cornhold Challenge, with some of the biggest names in country and beyond set for good times and a good cause.

Taking place at Nashville’s City Winery on June 5, this year’s event will feature Craig and his wife Mindy, as well as Russell Dickerson, Lindsay Ell, Walker Hayes, Brett Kissel, Nascar driver Scott Lagasse Jr, LoCash's Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, Jerrod Niemann, Taylor Phillips, Dee Jay Silver, Tegan Marie, The Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston and Kelby Ray and Brett Young.

The One Million Strong Benefit – a gala dinner, ceremony and singer-songwriter round with Campbell – at City Winery will follow on June 6, where the final tally of funds raised for Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) will be revealed. Last year’s combined events raised more than $180,000, as fans bid for the chance to compete in the tournament against the stars themselves, and dinner attendees bid on auction items like a backyard BBQ with Campbell and a Nascar experience with Scott Lagasse, Jr., another Fight CRC spokesman.

Campbell is a national spokesperson for Fight CRC – a nonprofit organization working to increase awareness, education, advocacy and research for colorectal cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer deaths among adults in the U.S. The hit maker lost his father to the disease when he was just 11 years old. As Fight CRC’s first national spokesman, Campbell has raised more than $300,000 by co-hosting the organization’s One Million Strong benefit and his celebrity cornhole challenge.

The Georgia native will be in headlines once again on June 8, this time for releasing his highly-anticipated See You Try EP – seven diverse tracks featuring his flirtatious chart-riser “See You Try” and two versions of the critically acclaimed “Outskirts of Heaven.” It’s Campbell’s first new collection of tunes in five years, and arrives after a standout 2017 which included Luke Bryan’s Huntin', Fishin' And Lovin' Every Day Tour.

Campbell will headline select dates across North America throughout the summer of 2018.

CRAIG CAMPBELL TO UNLEASH HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SEE YOU TRY EP ON JUNE 8

FIRST NEW COLLECTION IN FIVE YEARS INCLUDES HOT-BLOODED SINGLE, 

“SEE YOU TRY”

SEVEN-TRACK SET ALSO FEATURES TWO VERSIONS OF FAITHFUL 

“OUTSKIRTS OF HEAVEN”

Purchase/stream “See You Try” Here

The wait is over for Red Bow Records hitmaker CRAIG CAMPBELL and his legion of Country fans. Five years after the Georgia native last released a new collection of tunes, his SEE YOU TRY EP arrives on June 8.

Featuring seven tracks, which once again show off the smooth, expressive vocals and easy charisma that earn Campbell comparisons to icons like Alan Jackson, SEE YOU TRY finds the singer-songwriter maintaining his reputation for country authenticity – but also looking ahead to the future.

“For the past few years, I’ve created and found some of the best music of my career,” shared Campbell. “I’m beyond excited to release this EP and show the Country music world what I’ve been up to. I’m very proud of the music and can’t wait for everyone to finally hear these songs!”

Leading the project is the flirtatious new single “See You Try,” a hot-blooded barstool anthem that Rolling Stone calls “a big, bold song that shoots for the nosebleed seats of arenas everywhere.” The track is currently rising through the Country charts and has gathered nearly 1 million Spotify streams.

Meanwhile, SEE YOU TRY also includes two versions of Campbell’s “Outskirts of Heaven,” his most sincere and impactful single to date. Open hearted and full of faithful conviction, the uplifting critic’s hit is presented in both electric and acoustic settings.

Other standout moments on the highly-anticipated EP include the regretful romance of “Me Missing You,” the party-ready Tejano twang of “Mas Tequila,” the lusty rock ballad “Upstairs” and the slinky strut of “Kids in the South,” all written by top flight tunesmiths like Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard, Jim Beavers, Ben Hayslip and Campbell himself.

Here’s the complete track list for SEE YOU TRY:

1. “See You Try” (James McNair, Tyler Hubbard, Bart Butler, Jordan Schmidt)
2. “Me Missing You” (Barry Dean, Jonathan Singleton, Dave Barnes)
3. “Outskirts of Heaven” (Craig Campbell, Dave Turnbull)
4. “Mas Tequila” (Craig Campbell, Jim Beavers, Chris DuBois)
5. “Upstairs” (Kelly Archer, Justin Weaver, Al Anderson)
6. “Kids in the South” (Chase McGill, Ben Hayslip)
7. “Outskirts of Heaven (Acoustic)” (Craig Campbell, Dave Turnbull)

In related news, Campbell will host his 6th Annual Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge on June 5th at Nashville’s City Winery. As a national spokesperson for Fight CRC – a charity organization which supports research, education and awareness for colorectal cancer – Campbell raised over $200,000 for the cause with last year’s event, and hopes to top that mark as fans donate for the chance to battle another star-studded lineup in 2018.

A regular guest on the historic Grand Ole Opry stage, exceptional vocalist and critically acclaimed live performer, Campbell is on the verge of breaking out to superstardom after nearly a decade of success on the Country radio airplay charts and beyond.

Songs like “Family Man,” “Fish” and “Outta My Head” struck a chord after the singer-songwriter was discovered in Nashville’s famous honky-tonk, The Stage. Since then, “Keep Them Kisses Comin’” has cracked Country radio’s Top 10 and “Outskirts of Heaven” found tastemakers praising Campbell’s heartfelt sincerity, paving the way for the next chapter of his story.

Campbell is coming off a standout year which included Luke Bryan’s 2017 HUNTIN’, FISHIN’ AND LOVIN’ EVERY DAY Tour, and will headline select dates across North America throughout the summer of 2018.
