Dierks Bentley just made a dream come true for Walmart checker and aspiring country singer Kayla Slone. During the West Virginian's appearance on 'Anderson Live,' Bentley called in to gush about what a fan he is of her voice and to personally invite her to the ACMs in Las Vegas in April, where she will be able to hob-knob with country music's finest.
Caroline Bryan is one lucky woman. The wife of country superstar Luke Bryan is getting a simple, but special, treat on Valentine's Day.
Not everyone loves the Hallmark holiday known as Valentine's Day -- especially those who are single and unattached. Even though Blake Shelton is married to one of the most beautiful and most desirable women in country music (Miranda Lambert, of course), you still won't find him cheerleading the holiday with a flowers in one hand and a stuffed bear under the other arm. In fact, he participates sorta begrudgingly -- just like the rest of the guys!
It's no shock that Blake Shelton's 'Sure Be Cool if You Did' video takes place at the local watering hole. Shelton makes no bones about his enjoyment of liquid refreshment. But this video and the song aren't about throwing 'em back and having a good time, or partying mindlessly while ignoring the prospect of hangovers. It's more thoughtful and contemplative.
Blake Shelton fans sure got their fill of good news regarding the singer this morning (Feb. 11). Not only did he share his 'Sure Be Cool If You Did' video, but the singer also confirmed that he will release a new album entitled 'Based on a True Story…' on March 26.
Lady Antebellum were guests on the daytime gab fest 'The Talk' on Wednesday (Feb. 6), where they touched on a whole host of topics ranging from singer Hillary Scott's pregnancy to how her bandmates will be spoiling her baby (when it arrives), plus a little Grammys chatter and to how the trio a bit of a musical left turn with their infectious new single 'Downtown.'
It looks like 2013 is off to a running start for Kip Moore. The singer continues to sell out shows, and at a rapid clip. His Boston show, which takes place on March 23 at the House of Blues, sold out in only 20 minutes yesterday morning (Feb. 1), moving over 2,500 tickets in all. Clearly, the fans in Beantown are excited for Moore's show and gobbled up the tickets as fast as they could.
Justin Moore is taking his outlaw show on the road. The singer will embark on his first-ever headline tour on March 14. The tour, dubbed Outlaws Like Me, will feature support from Dustin Lynch and John Pardi. The first show takes place in Pikeville, Ky. and runs through April 20, wrapping in Corbin, Ky. Full circle!
'The Voice' just got even more country. With Blake Shelton serving as the winning coach for two years in a row and inviting Sheryl Crow to be his team's mentor for Season 4, his bromantic partner, fellow coach Adam Levine, is sticking it to him and goin' country, too! Levine has chosen pregnant Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott to serve as his team's advisor.
Lady Antebellum brought their new brand spanking new single 'Downtown' to 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' on Jan. 29, closing out the show after midnight. The threesome, who will headline the Taste of Country Festival this June, delivered the upbeat, uptempo and undeniably catchy song flawlessly via the late night platform.
2013 marks 90 years since the birth of country legend Hank Williams and 60 years since his tragic death. While he didn't live to see 30, the indelible mark he left on the genre is indisputable. Now, the Hank Williams Estate, which is overseen by his children Jett and Hank Williams, Jr., is making over 200 live performance recordings available to movie houses, TV production companies and ad agencies.
Country newcomers are both clever and creative in their efforts to get fans to vote for them for those precious and all-important Academy of Country Music Awards. Singer Hunter Hayes, who also nabbed a Grammy nomination, adopted an infinitely stylish way to encourage fans to pony up more ACM votes: he offered up his best impression of James Bond.
