About a month ago, a Jake Owen fan posted on Instagram detailing all the reasons why he loved his music. It makes the hard days easier, he said, and the beers go down easier. And so on and so on. And Owen told me posts like that give him the validation we all seek. “I’m like anyone. […]

New Reality Series Dives Into the Wild World of VIP Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties Fun fact: Nashville, Tenn. is the bachelor and bachelorette party capital of America. So, it would make sense that the business aimed at taking these parties to a whole new VIP level would exist right here in the heart of Music City. Can […]

If you’re like us and you follow tons of artists on your social feeds, you were fully aware that this weekend was special. Wireless Festival was taking place in the U.K. and most of the hottest acts in the world were in attendance, performing for thousands of adoring fans. One of the most interesting situations […]

Folk-rock band the Avett Brothers canceled a concert on Saturday after a man brought a gun into the venue and then couldn’t be found by security staff. No violence was reported and the event is set to be rescheduled soon. The incident took place soon after doors opened at the Edgefield McMenamins in Troutdale, Ore. “An individual […]

With five shows broadcast on the radio at the time, Bruce Springsteen‘s tour in support of 1978’s Darkness on the Edge of Town brought his reputation as a live performer to a growing audience. One of those dates — the July 7, 1978, concert at the Roxy in West Hollywood, Calif. — has now received its first official release, one day […]

Brad Paisley has incredible taste in collaborators in the studio and onstage. On tour now through Sept. 1, he probably couldn’t fit them all into his set. “Start a Band” with Keith Urban and “Remind Me” with Carrie Underwood were both No. 1 hits. Then there’s “Old Alabama” with Alabama, “When I Get Where I’m Going” with Dolly Parton and “Whiskey Lullaby” with Alison […]

Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook did the opposite when they released The Breaker in 2017. Although their touring year did include major festivals and one-off dates, their primary gig was their residency at Nashville’s […]

Between their massive world tours and philanthropic efforts, U2 have often kept their fans waiting many years for new music from them. That’s why it seemed so unusual for them to release Zooropa on July 5, 1993, a little more than a year and a half after delivering Achtung, Baby in November 1991. Even more startling was the music.

In case you missed it, Lauren Alaina crushed her performance at Wednesday’s (July 4) A Capitol Fourth celebration in Washington, DC. Rocking a sparkly, star-spangled mini dress and surrounded by a predominantly female crowd, Alaina lit up a satellite stage singing an empowering rendition of her first No. 1 “Road Less Traveled,” the title song from her 2017 album.

Today is July 6th which means the day has finally come for Iggy Azalea to finally drop off her much talked about tunes we’ve been waiting for. She came at us with “Kream” featuring Tyga as well as “Tokyo Snow Trip” which as the title suggests is about a certain drug that resembles snow. “Pinocchio nose drip, Tokyo snow […]
