This week multifaceted entertainer Kane Brown played his first ever headlining date at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena with a hit-packed sold-out show on Friday, (3/31) before heading to Austin to co-host the 2023 CMT Awards on Sunday (4/2). The returning host arrived to the 2023 CMT’s as a 3X nominee, while wife, Katelyn Brown, earned her first ever CMT nomination. Both took home the biggest award of the night, Video of the Year, for their hit multi-week #1, “Thank God,” where Kane and Katelyn made history as the first ever married couple to win the award.
Kicking off with first ever sold out headlining run at Bridgestone Arena, Brown debuted a new jam-packed set list and production as a part of his current Drunk or Dreaming Tour, and later in the evening brought out wife Katelyn to perform their now Platinum-certified #1 single, “Thank God.” Earlier in the night Kane and Katelyn were surprised with plaques for their newly certified Platinum single, as well as the official recognition of Brown’s current album, Different Man, as Gold-certified.
On Sunday, Brown’s fourth time hosting the CMT Awards was met with rave reviews and ratings for the star, who later took to the stage to accept the Video of the Year award with Katelyn and video director, Alex Alvga,after celebrating the national television debut performance of “Thank God” on the CMT Award outdoor stage in Austin.
Later this week the multi-platinum country artist and Time 100 recipient will appear on the April 7 episode of the hit CBS shot, Fire Country, where he will officially make his national acting debut. Brown shared with Hollywood Reporter, how cool it was “to be a part of [this] for my first time, especially the character.”
TYLER BOOTH SHINES A LIGHT ON THE SACRIFICES OF CHASING DREAMS IN NEW SONG, “BRING ON THE NEON”
entucky-born songsmith Tyler Booth shared a new track today, “Bring On The Neon.” Listen here.
“Bring On The Neon” was penned by Booth along with Jamey Johnson and Jeremy Popoff, known from the band Lit (“My Own Worst Enemy”). Booth met Popoff after he was sitting in the audience one day while Booth was performing at Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, TN. Popoff decided to introduce Booth to his good friend, Jamey Johnson, who also happens to be one of Booth’s biggest inspirations. Shortly after, the three came together and wrote “Bring On The Neon.”
Booth shared, “It’s sort of a full circle song for me because it’s about chasing your dreams. Growing up, Jamey probably influenced me more than anyone. Listening to his music took me down the path of Waylon, Willie, Cash, Hank, etc., so writing with Jamey and getting to know him and Popoff really is a dream come true.”
“‘Bring On The Neon’ is a story about how hard the road is out here and it sure takes its toll on ya, especially your personal relationships. It’s about when one chapter ends, a new one begins, and the sacrifices we make chasing our dreams. Personally, this thing sure hasn’t been overnight for me. I’ve been busting my tail out here. Writing this one with Jamey and Popoff and getting to put it out is a reminder that hard work pays off. I look forward to hearing what people think about the song and what it means to them,” Booth continued.
Additionally, Jamey Johnson shared, “Tyler Booth has the kind of voice that resonates country music and feeds the soul. He is an instrument custom crafted for that purpose. As a songwriter he is as astute and percipient as he is humble; a real working man’s torch bearer.”
Popoff added, “Tyler is the real deal. It’s been awesome getting to make music together and becoming good friends. ‘Bring On The Neon’ is a special song and I think it really shows Tyler’s depth and old soul vibe.”
“Bring On The Neon” follows Booth’s latest track, “Real Real Country,” which he debuted earlier this year. Country Now shared that the singer is “taking his wicked twang and hard-hitting instrumentals to the next level,” and that the song “puts forth a stylish lick on his sundry capabilities,” while MusicRow deemed it “redneck rock, especially if you crank it up.”
Recently, Booth shared stages with acts such as Darius Rucker, Jon Pardi, and Brooks & Dunn, and he is currently out on his headlining “Real Real Country Tour” as well as select dates with Cody Johnson. The road warrior has gained a loyal fanbase through his extensive touring and is also backed by his over a million followers on social media. CMT described Booth as, “a country traditionalist with an impressive knack for storytelling” while American Songwriter called him, “an outlaw with the baritone voice, an endearing smile and a flowing mullet,” who “just might prove to be a breath of fresh country air in a world of far too perfectly coifed and filtered country superstars.”

LUKE COMBS’ NEW ALBUM GETTIN’ OLD OUT TODAY
“GOING, GOING, GONE” SPENDS SECOND CONSECUTIVE
WEEK AT #1
RECORD-BREAKING WORLD TOUR KICKS OFF TOMORROW
“one of music’s mightiest voices and a hitmaking force arguably unlike any seen out of Nashville this century”—USA Today
“a superstar who is shaping the future of the genre while also serving as one of its fiercest defenders”
—The Washington Post
March 24, 2023—Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs’ new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record,Growin’ Up—is out today via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville. Stream/purchase HERE.
Already receiving critical attention, Combs recently spoke with Esquire, who calls Combs, “the best country singer of his generation.” Additionally, The New York Times proclaims, “…grounded in country, complete with fiddle fills, but it’s also pointed toward a wide pop audience,” while Billboard declares, “his electrifying-yet-earthy voice soundtracking this time in his life as a husband, father and entertainer at the top of his game” and Music Row praises, “one of the most gripping vocalists in our genre. The themes of maturity and thoughtfulness are embedded in this beautifully crafted lyric.”
Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following Growin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. Across these eighteen tracks, including a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Combs continues to establish himself as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth.
The release adds to yet another historic year for Combs, who extended his record-breaking run at country radio with his single, “Going, Going, Gone,” which is once again #1 at country radio this week. This is Combs’ 15th consecutive #1 single—the longest consecutive streak for an artist since their debut—and makes Combs one of the fastest to accumulate 15 #1s, joining the ranks of Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Alabama. Additionally, Combs recently earned 26 new Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications.
Furthermore, Combs will kick off his massive World Tour tomorrow night at Arlington, TX’s AT&T Stadium, followed by 15 more US stadium shows this spring, all of which sold out immediately. With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The upcoming trek includes stops at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, as well as shows in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium. See below for complete tour itinerary.
Reflecting on the record, Combs shares, “This album is about the stage of life I’m in right now. One that I’m sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through. It’s about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record, and I hope you love it as much as we do.”
A member of the Grand Ole Opry and an 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs is in the midst of a historic series of years. Most recently, he was named CMA Entertainer of the Year for the second-consecutive year this past November and recently earned his record-setting, fourteenth-consecutive #1 single with “The Kind of Love We Make.” Continuing his monumental run at country radio, Combs’ current single, “Going, Going, Gone,” is currently top 3 and rising. Additionally, with his 2019 release, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, Combs reached #1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart, Top 100 Songs chart and Artists 500 chart—the first country artist ever to lead all three charts in the same week and first to top the Artists 500.

SEAFORTH DROPS ROMANTIC NEW TRACK “I CAN’T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE” TODAY
PLAYS TO SOLD-OUT CROWDS IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY ON ABOUT TIME TOUR
PACKED SUMMER INCLUDES APPEARANCES AT STAGECOACH, GULF COAST JAM, CMA FEST, CAROLINA COUNTRY MUSIC FEST, BOOTS AND HEARTS, AND MORE SUMMER FESTIVALS
Seaforth’s charming new release, “I Can’t Take You Anywhere,” is available now. Listen here and watch a special visual accompaniment here.
“This song is essentially about being so into someone that you can’t help but get distracted by how good they look and end up canceling plans just to be with them,” said the duo’s Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson. “Musically and lyrically, it’s a bit different for us, and it feels like a progression. We remember diving in pretty deep on the lyrics and taking our time getting the phrasing and internal rhymes right the day we wrote it. We loved it after we wrote it, but it was one that crept up on us over time. We’re excited for people to hear this one and hopefully relate it to their own lives in some way.”
Featuring the pair’s signature harmonies and progressive production, “I Can’t Take You Anywhere” was written by Jordan and Thompson with Zack Dyer and Paul Overstreet. Seaforth has been playing the song to rabid crowds across the country on their headlining ABOUT TIME TOUR, which expanded to the U.S. following a standout run in their native Australia.
“We have started playing it on our current tour, and it’s been a blast. It’s always exciting to play something new, and fans haven’t booed us off stage yet, so that’s a good sign,” joked Jordan and Thompson.
With recent sellouts in New York City and Asbury Park, N.J., the ABOUT TIME TOUR continues next week in Ohio and Michigan before Seaforth hit a stacked summer schedule that includes Stagecoach, Gulf Coast Jam, CMA Fest, and more.

ANDREW JANNAKOS FINDS CHURCH IN NATURE WITH NEW SONG, “MEET MY MAKER”
Rising singer-songwriter Andrew Jannakos shared his new track today, “Meet My Maker.” Listen here.
Written by Jannakos along with Andy Albert, Karen Kosowski, and Emma Lee, the song recounts the singer’s experiences of feeling close to God when he’s out in nature.
Jannakos said of the track: “‘Meet My Maker’ came about when I realized every time I was in the outdoors, I would catch myself talking to the Good Lord. Asking for forgiveness or just talking to Him to get some things off my chest. And if you haven’t got to experience it before, it’s something that will just stop you in your tracks. To get to watch the sun cross over and begin to rise, to hear all the animals come to life and watch them start off a new day with no clue you’re there. It’s something you’ll never forget, and it’s where I Meet My Maker.”
Earlier this year, Jannakos released “Gettin’ There,” which was considered a “New Country Song You Need To Hear Right Now” by Country Now. The Nash News lauded his voice on the track, calling it “as smooth as can be.” Additionally, Jannakos recently debuted his song, “Heaven’s Like A Hometown,” which CMT praised that it not only shows off his “colorful knack for songwriting, but [also] his robust vocals made for the radio,” while Country Now deemed the song “a slice of nostalgia with a whole lot of heart.”
LUKE COMBS’ NEW SONG “5 LEAF CLOVER” OUT TODAY
NEW ALBUM “GETTIN’ OLD” OUT NEXT FRIDAY
RECORD-BREAKING WORLD TOUR BEGINS MARCH 25

“a superstar who is shaping the future of the genre while also serving as one of its fiercest defenders”
—The Washington Post
March 17, 2023—Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs’ new song, “5 Leaf Clover,” written by Combs, Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill, is out today. Listen/share HERE.
Of the song, Combs shares, “A while back my buddy Newdy and I were looking around the clover plot at my house for 4 leaf clovers. I eventually found one, but shortly thereafter, he found a 5 leaf clover and I thought to myself, ‘Man, how lucky do you have to be to find a 5 leaf clover?’ Didn’t think too much of it at the time but wrote that down as a title in my phone. A few weeks later, I was writing with Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill and it came up. It still wasn’t really anything that jumped off the page to me, but I shared the idea and guitar melody I had with them and they loved it. We ended up writing the song that day. I eventually started playing it at shows and posting a video of the song, and y’all quickly let me know it was one I had to record; that’s why I’m super pumped for y’all to finally hear it!”
“5 Leaf Clover” is the fourth song unveiled from Combs’ new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up—which will be released next Friday, March 24 via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville (pre-order here). Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following Growin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. Across these eighteen tracks, including a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Combs continues to establish himself as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth.
Ahead of the release, Combs has unveiled three album tracks: “Joe,” “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old” and “Love You Anyway,” of which The New York Times praises, “His bellow is more stable, his emotional presence more dignified. But there’s still something of a purring engine inside songs like ‘Love You Anyway,’” while Billboarddeclares, “it immediately sounds like one of his strongest to date.”
The album adds to a historic career for Combs, who extended his record-breaking run at country radio this week as his single, “Going, Going, Gone,” reached #1. This is Combs’ 15th consecutive #1 single—the longest consecutive streak for an artist since their debut—and makes Combs one of the fastest to accumulate 15 #1s, joining the ranks of Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Alabama. Additionally, Combs recently earned 26 new Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications.
Furthermore, Combs will kick off his massive World Tour next weekend with sixteen North American stadium shows, all of which sold out immediately. With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The upcoming trek includes shows at Arlington, TX’s AT&T Stadium, Nashville’s Nissan Stadium and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, as well as stops in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium.

The moody new track, which was written by the three as well as Jared Keim and Travis Wood, showcases an edgier more rock leaning sound all while displaying their signature harmonies.
“Musically, “I Don’t Wanna Be That Guy” has a really cool moody swagger that stands out from our other songs,” says Zach Beekan.
2023 started with a bang with the trio being named as one of Spotify’s Hot Country Artists To Watch, touring with Kane Brown in Europe/UK and releasing “On My Way”. The deeply personal song that comes full circle to a saying the band lives by, “keep your eyes on the road.” The uplifting ballad enforces this saying by inspiring fans to keep going and follow your dreams.

WILLIE JONES WALKS A FINE LINE ON “NO TELLIN’”
STICKS AND SWAMP TOUR KICKS OFF MARCH 30; NEW DATE ADDED
CONFIRMED FOR CMA FEST AND BOURBON & BEYOND
Willie Jones continues to tantalize fans with new releases as his latest track, “No Tellin’,” is available now. Listen HERE.
“I’ve had ‘No Tellin’’ ready for a while but it wasn’t the right time. Country music needs a club banger, so I finally said to the team ‘Let’s drop it!’,” said Jones. “I’ve tested it on tour and with my DJ’s homies and the reaction is always real swell. Shout out to Chris Stevens and my guy Mars who helped bring those drums to another new level.”
“No Tellin’” finds Jones keeping a scandalous relationship under wraps and follows his previous song “Them Girls Do.” The Boot touted “Them Girls Do” as “infectious, party-ready anthem” while the track was also featured by CMT, Country Now, and more. Jones recently performed both songs on the Grand Ole Opry.
Jones will team up with fellow hip-hop/country innovator RVSHVD for the STICKS AND SWAMP TOUR kicking off March 30 in Macon, GA. To meet demand, a new show was just added April 22 in Chattanooga, TN. Tickets for all dates are available now. He’s also set to appear at CMA Fest and Bourbon & Beyond this summer.
