Live shows at CabaRay begin this weekend and will continue on select dates throughout the year.

Stevens couldn’t be more excited to debut the new songs live on-stage. “It will be an all-new show with new songs and new stories,” he says. “But don’t worry, I’ll still be bringing along Ethel, Margaret, Gitarzan, the squirrel and other favorites.”

CabaRay Showroom performances will feature Stevens and his full band. Concertgoers can opt for a full dinner at every performance.

KARLEY SCOTT COLLINS TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM, FLIGHT RISK, SEPT. 26; NEW SONG “COWBOY SH!T” OUT FRIDAY (5/23)

/0 Comments/in /by

Emerging country star Karley Scott Collins will release her debut album, Flight Risk, Sept. 26.

A debut album years in the making, Flight Risk introduces Collins’ powerful voice in epic manner: heartbreak, acceptance, desire, and jealousy—all threaded together by a self-aware kind of maturity.

“I’ve experienced so much over the past few years, in relationships and just in growing up and coming into my own as an artist,” Collins shares. “There was a time where I was running just to feel safe, but now, if I’m running, it’s only from things that I know aren’t meant for me. If I run from something now, I’m doing it because I know who I am and what I want, and I know where the exits are when I need to leave a place – or a person – that isn’t right for me.”

Collins’ creative fingerprint graces every aspect of the project, where she and Grammy Award-winning collaborator Nathan Chapman co-produced and played nearly every instrument throughout – Collins even picked up banjo, violin and bass during the sessions. She learned how to engineer in the studio, making sure every note was a personal and raw reflection of her journey. From start to finish, Collins speaks with the hard-earned wisdom of a soul twice her age, unafraid to lay bare the truths gathered in just 25 years of living, loving and learning.

To celebrate the release, Collins will drop her new track “Cowboy Sh!t” Friday. Collins co-wrote the gun-slinging, driving single with Sam Backoff and KK Johnson.

The Nashville Briefing Artist to Watch and CMT Next Woman of Country is set for a packed summer opening for Keith Urban’s HIGH AND ALIVE TOUR throughout the U.S. and Canada, kicking things off tomorrow in Orange Beach, AL. She’ll also perform at CMA Fest and Watershed.

Heart of Texas Records, in partnership with StarVista Music, announces the release of “I Wanna Be Free,” the latest single from Tayla Lynn’s upcoming album Singin’ Loretta, a tribute to her grandmother, country music legend Loretta Lynn. Premiered by The Hollywood Times, the track reflects the classic storytelling and emotion that defined Loretta’s music. Tayla offers a sincere and personal take on the well-loved song, honoring her grandmother’s legacy while bringing her own voice to the recording.

Tayla Lynn returns with her second solo album, Singin’ Loretta, a heartfelt tribute to her grandmother’s enduring legacy. The project brings together a mix of Loretta Lynn’s most iconic songs and hidden gems, highlighting the stories and spirit that made her a country music legend. The album features tracks like “Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed,” “Rated ‘X’,” “Blue Kentucky Girl,” and “You’re Lookin’ at Country,” as well as deeper cuts including “There He Goes” and “The Titanic.” Singin’ Loretta will be released on May 30th.

“Memaw has been the constant fixture in my life and the lives of millions,” shares Tayla Lynn. “Thank you to Tracy Pitcox and Heart of Texas Records, along with StarVista, for believing in this album and me. I am so excited for everyone to hear this tribute.”

As part of its ongoing Opry 100 celebration, the Grand Ole Opry, presented by Humana, launched its “Opry 100 Honors” on May 13. The special series of Opry 100 Honors shows, sponsored by Dan Post, pays tribute to several of the icons who have helped shape the Opry’s first century. The first show honored Loretta Lynn, with performances by Opry member Crystal Gayle (Lynn’s sister), granddaughter Emmy Russell, duo Twitty & Lynn (grandchildren of Lynn and Conway Twitty), and Opry members Martina McBride, Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde, and more. The evening was an unforgettable tribute to the remarkable career and legacy of Loretta Lynn.

Tayla Lynn always knew music would be her path, with no “Plan B” in sight. Performing at a young age with her grandmother, she later collaborated with songwriting legends like James House, Gary Burr, Leslie Satcher, and Jon Randall. After earning a development deal with RCA, she met Caroline Hobby and Jennifer Wayne through mentor Anastasia Brown, forming the trio Stealing Angels.

From 2007 to 2012, they toured the country, performed for troops in Iraq and Kuwait, and worked with Grammy-winning producer Paul Worley. Following her marriage and motherhood, Tayla moved to Seattle, where the music scene reignited her passion. Returning to Tennessee, she resumed performing with her grandmother and launched Twitty and Lynn with Tre Twitty in 2018. Performing over 100 shows annually, they released their debut album Cookin’ Up Lovin’ in April 2024. Tayla also released Tayla Lynn Sings Loretta Lynn in 2022, a tribute to her grandmother, with her follow-up album Still Singing Loretta Lynn set for 2025. Writing with Mark Narmore and Scott Baggett, she continues to blend her own life experiences with the stories of the women who came before her.

BRYCE LEATHERWOOD’S SELF-TITLED, DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW VIA MERCURY NASHVILLE

/0 Comments/in /by

For Mercury Nashville singer/songwriter Bryce Leatherwood, his love of country music began with listening to the likes of George Jones, Merle Haggard and Conway Twitty in his grandfather’s truck. That love and a passion for performing took him from local stages playing for beer in college to being crowned season 22 champion of “The Voice” just over two years ago. But in many ways that crown was just the beginning of his journey. What followed has been years of firsts. His first time in a writers room, first time on the Grand Ole Opry stage, his first headlining tour and now another first…the release of his self-titled, debut album available today with Saving Country Music observing “his voice is definitely a stellar vehicle for delivering country music.”

“I’ve been chasing this dream ever since the eighth grade when my daddy handed over his much loved Conway Twitty Greatest Hits CD,” shared Leatherwood. “To finally have my very own album out in the world, I am just over the moon and so excited for fans to hear it. I hope people listen to it and walk away feeling like country music is alive and well!”

The Woodstock, Georgia native is carrying the influences and country-music foundations built while bumping along in that old pickup on his granddad’s farm with him for the debut LP American Songwriter praises as, “a true 21st-century country music album with flares that pay homage to the past.” A mix of originals and expertly crafted outside cuts, Leatherwood lets his resonate vocal loose over 12 diverse tunes – centered on his rock solid country roots, but ranging from the pure-emotion of classic balladry to an expanding genre’s bleeding edge. Taking a hands-on approach with producer Will Bundy (Riley Green, Ella Langley), Leatherwood threads the needle between the timeless and trendy with surefooted ease.

The album, which Country Now notes “introduces Leatherwood in his most authentic form,” features previously released tracks like the rollicking sweep-you-off-your-feet Saturday-night anthem “Neon Does,” “The One My Daddy Found” inspired by the decades-long love shared by his parents, “Where the Bar Is” which pops a country-rock top on a quick-hitting tale of late nights and open tabs, “The Finger” a tongue-in-cheek fan favorite sing-along to getting shafted by love and “Shenandoah” penned by Leatherwood with Jeffrey East and Josh Kelley about love and total romantic devotion.

Unreleased tracks on the debut LP include “In Lieu of Flowers” proclaiming his eternal honky tonk allegiance – requesting Joe Diffie and a longneck toast when his time finally comes, the transformative jam “Something Bout A Girl” tracks the making of a man – with the help of a woman’s touch, while the feel-good “God Made” mixes twangy Telecaster with tasteful beats for a tale of physical perfection, the bluesy vocal stunner “What If She Does” imagines losing it all and “Cheap Cologne” traces the other side of the story – an aching done-me-wrong anthem nodding to Leatherwood’s classic favorites.

Leatherwood has marked release week with a flurry of activity including a stop at NBC’s “Today with Jenna & Friends” on Wednesday, May 14, to give fans a preview of the album with a performance of “In Lieu of Flowers.” He also received a surprise message on the show from Blake Shelton with his former Voice Coach sharing, “Man, it still seems like literally yesterday that I watched you win ‘The Voice,’ and I’m still just as proud of you today,” Shelton said. “Go get em’ brother.”

Leatherwood returned to “The Voice” stage for the NBC hit’s finale on May 20, joining a star-studded line-up that will include performances from Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton, Chance the Rapper, Sheryl Crow, Joe Jonas, Kelly Clarkson and more.

And the country crooner is showing no signs of slowing down. Leatherwood will celebrate the new album with a return to the Grand Ole Opry on May 24 and the Good Molecules Reverb Stage at CMA Fest next month. Fans can also find him at festivals across the US this summer with more touring news to be announced soon.

GET READY FOR THE KennySPHERE

/0 Comments/in /by

They loaded in at midnight Sunday. They were up and running Sunday evening. They’ve been rehearsing since Monday, feeling the arc of a whole new set list, songs rarely or never before played – and, of course, many of the favorites of No Shoes Nation.

Almost a year in the making, Kenny Chesney is ready to kick-off his much-vaunted residency at Sphere. All the technology, the vibrance, the ability to immerse No Shoes Nation in the songs that are their life is finally about to happen.

“You can’t truly imagine it,” says the leader of No Shoes Nation. “When people say you have to experience it to really understand, they aren’t kidding. Even with all the simulators, the special editing facilities, the way we have approached rehearsals, it wasn’t until we got inside Sphere that me, the band, the crew and all our road family truly got it. It is a whole other world – and I can’t wait for the people who’ve loved this music so intensely to experience this.

“Experience, because it’s so much more than just seeing a concert.”

A no-holds-barred musical experience, Chesney has refashioned his notoriously quick-hitting set list to create a new live dynamic for his shows. An energetic and emotional rollercoaster, this residency will take fans deeper into the music through the super-specific mix by legendary sound engineer Robert Scovill, the all-new visual presentation and a few surprises the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar has pulled together for this once-in-a-lifetime kind of concert opportunity.

“Keeping the focus on these songs,” the man Wall Street Journal calls “The King of the Road” says, “it made us really creative. Some of what we shot, the way the sound is being sculpted, we’re taking these songs deeper into what they can be – and when we got onstage to start rehearsing, everybody was blown away by how much more every single song seemed to mean.”

As Rolling Stone reported, “No Shoes Nation fandom will descend upon Las Vegas in May… The shows will be a rare chance to see Chesney outside of the massive football stadiums he usually hits on tour.” That means anyone who’s ever heard their life or found their meaning in his 33 No. 1’s and myriad Top 5 and Top 10 hits can get ready for a festival that binds what Variety calls “a concert-going community rivaled perhaps only by Parrotheads and Deadheads” together.

And that starts before the show. Grab a drink at the Spread the Love Bar, an amalgamation of Kenny’s favorite bars at the end of the world and get your vibe right. Hit Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love to experience his journey, no need to even have a ticket to the show! Free to all, spread the love and take that positive energy into the world – or into Sphere where Brandi Cyrus will be throwing down a DJ set to get people dancing, feeling good and ready.

“You really do have to experience it to feel how deep this goes,” Chesney says. “We can’t wait to get everybody into the room to feel that energy. We are always coming to rock No Shoes Nation, and they rock us right back. Something tells me this is going to be even more intense.”

AVERY ANNA’S FAN-INSPIRED SOPHOMORE ALBUM, LET GO LETTERS, ARRIVES FRIDAY (5.16)

/0 Comments/in /by

This Friday (5.16), Warner Music Nashville singer-songwriter Avery Anna will release her sophomore album, let go letters. Inspired by personal stories from her fans, let go letters is Avery’s latest manifestation of a lifelong devotion to making music that feeds the soul.

Last week, the Arizona native debuted a new track from the project, “what are friends for?,” an introspective ballad about friend breakups. “Girl drama is a real thing, and I love how that song captures the experience of feeling frustrated and betrayed and guilty all at the same time,” Avery says.

Every song on let go letters is inspired by real-life situations that her fans shared with her in a letter series, which has long been a safe place for her listener community to ‘let go’ of experiences that may be troubling them by writing them down and sending them off. Avery read these letters and took the general themes—anything from depression, abuse, addiction, body dysmorphia, and fractured family relationships—and turned them into songs, making her fans’ experiences the center of the project to let them know they’re heard, seen, and not alone.

“I started asking people for their letters because I wanted to give them some kind of emotional outlet, but they ended up shifting my whole perspective on so many things in life,” says Avery. “After a while, it felt almost impossible not to write about the letters, and over time, this album became a way to thank everyone for being so vulnerable and sharing their lives with me.”

Looking back on the emotional whirlwind of creating let go letters, Avery reveals that the album profoundly strengthened her sense of purpose. “There was a period of time where I felt so sad from reading all the letters; some were so tragic that I memorized them,” she says. “But I kept coming back to the fact that it’s my duty as an artist to help people cope with their feelings, which really eased my mind. I think it’s a beautiful thing to connect with a stranger on a level where you can truly see them for who they are, and hold the door open for them to hopefully find some peace. So as heavy as this whole process was, in the end it was just as uplifting.”

Thanks to her boundless empathy—as well as the subtle force and spellbinding power of her vocal work—Avery inhabits the album with a depth of emotion that makes every lyric feel undeniably lived-in. Featuring 14 tracks all penned or co-penned by Avery and produced by David Fanning, let go letters follows the singer-songwriter’s celebrated 2024 debut album, Breakup Over Breakfast. The new project includes her recently released “danny don’t,” which Billboard praised her “sterling, gripping vocal that she wraps around this response to a letter from a fan who was battling internal struggles and contemplating giving up on life.” Country Central called the song “empathetically comforting,” noting that it “makes a strong statement for Anna’s songwriting talent.” “Mr. Predictable,” another previously released track on the highly anticipated project, has quickly become a fan favorite. Holler lauded that the track “doubles down on the powerful, deeply vulnerable and conversational ambiance the country prodigy has always laced into her music…that feels like she’s drawing straight from her journal.”

A member of the Opry NextStage class of 2025, Avery took the stage at the Opry NextStage Live From Texas event last week ahead of the ACM Awards. She is currently climbing the radio charts with Sam Barber on their viral duet, “Indigo.”

With more than 450 million global streams to date, the songstress has quickly become an in-demand touring artist. Earlier this year, Avery brought her electric live show to the main stage at C2C festival across London, Belfast, and Glasgow, and last month, she returned to Stagecoach. Billboard named her Stagecoach set as one of the ‘best moments’ of the day, lauding the “impressive amount of fans singing to her own originals,” and the way she “twirled around on stage, like she was leading her very own Fearless World Tour.” This summer, she’ll join Luke Bryan’s Country Song Came On Tour and Brad Paisley’s Truck Still Works World Tour for select dates.

MORGAN WALLEN PENS “SUPERMAN” TO HIS SON

/0 Comments/in /by

With one week remaining until the release of his full-length, fourth studio album, I’m The Problem, Morgan Wallen is offering fans one final taste of the upcoming project with the release of the highly-anticipated song dedicated to his son, “Superman,” available now.

Wallen originally teased the up-tempo ballad, which he co-wrote alongside Ryan Vojtesak, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass and James Maddocks, on Instagram in February. The clip instantly drew excitement from fans, with Billboard praising its “self-aware lyrics.”

Wallen opened up about the song on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend stating, “I’ve tried so many times to write a song like that for him, and it always fell flat. I also didn’t want to write a song to him that was all sappy and slow, and just what you would expect a dad’s son song to be. That song has been written plenty enough and I wanted it to keep a little bit of my sound and my swag and just to be honest. And I feel like we accomplished that when we wrote it.”

I’m The Problem combines Wallen’s country, cross and dirt-rock influences, and features collaborations with pop superstars Post Malone and Tate McRae, plus close friends Eric Church, ERNEST and HARDY.

The album opens with the title track, “I’m The Problem,” a cutting double-edged confession that reveals the complexities of a relationship at its lowest point. It concludes with “I’m A Little Crazy,” a quiet, self-reflective song that looks inward while examining the world outside. Between all of that, Wallen displays his ability to reach listeners on a granular level.

While Wallen co-wrote 22 of the tracks on the album, he tapped into 49 songwriters, curating a tracklist that’s both deeply personal and resonant, while viewing life events through a different lens than he’s used in the past.

The upcoming project sparked Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem Tour. Kicking off June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Wallen’s 20-show run will include stops in Seattle, Washington; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Toronto, Ontario and more. With a second stop recently added in Madison, Wisconsin, Wallen’s appearances will mark the first time an artist has played two consecutive nights at Camp Randall Stadium.

A rotating lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel join in direct support with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson as first-of-three across select dates. Coupled with Wallen’s Sand In My Boots Festival and a special one-night-only album release celebration show May 28 at Roundhouse in London, these 22 shows are the only place to see the superstar in 2025.

DOCTOR ASHLEY McBRYDE: GRAMMY-AWARD WINNER AND GRAND OLE OPRY MEMBER RECEIVES HONORARY DOCTORATE OF MUSIC FROM ALMA MATER ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

/0 Comments/in /by

Ashley McBryde joined Arkansas State’s Spring 2025 Commencement Ceremony, Saturday May 10, to receive her Honorary Doctorate of Music, with Chancellor Todd Shields recognizing that her “determination and contributions to American Music is a testament to the opportunities that higher education can open and inspire for generations of Arkansas State University alums.”

“Earning a degree in music has always been something I’ve placed a lot of value in. It was something I felt I needed to accomplish. In my time here at A-State, I found my passion not only for performing, but for creating other musicians. The music education program is priceless. I’m so thankful for educators that pushed me to strive for excellence: Greg and Hope Bruner, Robin Dauer, Ed Alexander, Doctor Ken Carroll, Doctor Tom O’Connor and so many more. While my path to music education wound up looking a little different than a traditional one, I never lost my passion for music education, and I work alongside music educators every chance I get. Thank you for shaping me into the advocate I became, the musician I am today and the entrepreneur I didn’t know I was going to have to be.

There are doctors in my family, Doctors of Medicine, so I know that when you address someone by that word, you’re acknowledging their rank. You’re acknowledging a lifetime – time, money, effort, everything they’ve got that they’ve spent in pursuit of excellence in their chosen field. The residencies, internships, fellowships, the many accomplishments and the many failures it takes to accomplish them. I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of and the magic of making music, and hopefully I will inspire others to do so.

This stage became my classroom. Board proficiencies were in rooms of tens and then one hundreds and then thousands – those are hard to pass. I’ve been judged on late night TV shows, morning talk shows, award shows. Those are especially hard to pass because all of social media is there to give you a pass or fail grade on the spot. The people making remarks are the icons and legends of my field, and they just so happen to be names you’re familiar with: Wynonna Judd, Vince Gill, Hank Williams Jr. My classmates were Luke Combs, Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, Jon Pardi – it sounds like I’m name dropping, but these are the people I went into the trenches with.

I left this campus as a broke, guitar playing, songwriting chick who played in bars for a living, and I stand here today as a GRAMMY-Award winning songwriter. A member of the Grand Ole Opry. And I look forward to being introduced on that sacred stage this week as Dr. Ashley McBryde. Thank you so much.”

McBryde performed at Opry 100 Honors: Loretta Lynn on Tuesday, May 13. She’s set to perform at CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium; Country Thunder Wisconsin and Alberta; WE Fest; and more festivals this summer among headlining dates. She will also join Little Big Town in West Palm Beach, FL and Orange Beach, AL in August.

MATT CROCKER OF HILLSONG UNITED RELEASES FIRST-EVER SOLO PROJECT WITH “hallelujah” and “love me as i am”

/0 Comments/in /by

Matt Crocker, the longstanding member and vocalist of Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Worship, announces his first-ever solo music endeavor and official signing with Anotherland —a creative collective and label partner helping usher in a new chapter of his artistry. The partnership comes alongside a momentous decade-long career, in which Crocker has written and performed some of the most celebrated anthems in contemporary Christian music, including “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” “This I Believe (The Creed),” and “I Surrender,” collectively reaching over 5 billion streams worldwide.

Now, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter reveals he has been writing new music that draws from his many musical influences including The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, The Beatles, Arcade Fire, Radiohead and Travis, which brings what he describes as a “new sound, new words, new medicine for the soul — yet still grounded in the truth that nothing will ever compare to the Creator of all.”

“Never have I ever stepped out into the realm of a ‘solo’ creative space. Never really wanted to, never really thought I would,” Crocker states on his Instagram. He explains, “I’ve always had the privilege of doing this with my best friends, which was always enough for me. But somewhere along the way, a couple years ago, I felt a gentle push to start seeing what was perhaps in me to find that God has uniquely deposited in me, as He does all of us.”

Crocker’s first song features his signature, anthemic vocals in “hallelujah,” recently released on all music platforms including to his 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify. In conjunction, a live performance music video titled “hallelujah (Live from Two Palms studios)” is also now available. The video was shot from a rooftop capturing what Crocker describes as a “jam-session with my best friends.”

The Sydney native and global-touring artist follows “hallelujah” with his second song, a tender ballad titled “love me as i am,” now streaming and supported with the release of a live music video companion, “love me as i am (Live from Two Palms studios).” Both songs offer a first glimpse into the heart of Crocker’s solo project. “hallelujah” is an anthemic reflection on God’s goodness and presence—raw, worshipful, and captured live in a rooftop jam session with close friends, while “love me as i am” follows as a vulnerable prayer of surrender and identity, written from a place of transformation and gratitude for God’s unchanging love.

As these early songs and video releases build excitement, Crocker will continue to launch new music in the coming weeks in anticipation of his debut solo album expected later this year.

About Matt Crocker:

Matt Crocker is a worship leader and songwriter, who has left an indelible mark on the landscape of contemporary Christian music. As the lead vocalist of Hillsong UNITED and Hillsong Worship, Crocker has been a part of writing songs that have resonated with believers and non-believers the world over, including “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” “This I Believe (The Creed),” and “I Surrender” which have been streamed over 5 billion times. Currently, Crocker has over 2.5M Spotify Monthly Listeners. With his forthcoming debut solo project, Crocker is getting ready to release what he hopes will be songs that pierce the hearts of new and old listeners alike, bringing his musical taste and love for the authentic and raw listening experience to people wherever they find themselves, drawing them closer to The Creator of all.
