New Music Drops That Will Have Your Boots Tappin’


The airwaves are getting a serious injection of new tunes. Several beloved artists have recently unveiled new singles that are quickly climbing the charts. Old Dominion recently dropped their sixth studio album, Barbara, which blends their signature contemporary country sound with fresh, deeply personal songs. Another exciting release is Bailey Zimmerman’s second album, Different Night Same Rodeo, a project filled with grit and heart that’s perfect for late nights and sold-out crowds. Fans are also buzzing about the recent single from Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood, “I’m Gonna Love You,” which just celebrated its No. 1 hit status.

Tour Announcements: Get Ready to Sing Along

Dust off your concert boots because a few major tours have just been announced! Kane Brown is set to launch his “The High Road Tour” in support of his upcoming album of the same name. Meanwhile, Luke Bryan is in the midst of his “Country Song Came On Tour” which is hitting cities across the U.S. this fall. Don’t forget about Lainey Wilson’s “Whirlwind World Tour” and Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem Tour,” both of which are continuing to sell out stadiums and are running through the fall.

Rising Stars to Watch

The country music scene is always evolving, and a new crop of talented artists is making waves. Ella Langley is a name you’ll be hearing a lot more of, especially after she took home five awards at the recent ACMs. Her raw voice and emotional songwriting are gaining her a massive following. Keep an eye on artists like Kashus Culpepper, who has been selling out headline shows with his raw, nostalgic sound, and Lauren Watkins, who is currently an opening act on Morgan Wallen’s stadium tour and captivating audiences with her powerful vocals.

Award Season Buzz: Who’s in the Running?

The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards were a huge success in May, with Reba McEntire returning as host and Ella Langley taking home five awards. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming 59th Annual CMA Awards, set for November 19 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. While the full list of nominees hasn’t been announced, early buzz suggests that artists like Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Megan Moroney, and Morgan Wallen are strong contenders for the coveted Entertainer of the Year award.
