/in /by

Koe Wetzel caps a breakout year with another major career milestone, earning his first No. 1 single at Country radio with “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph, topping both the Billboard Country Airplay and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Country charts this week while also Top 20 Hot AC and Top 25 at Top 40.

“Look at us with a No. 1! Jessie, you’re a beast of a singer and writer, glad we share this one together. Amy, Carrie, Laura, Serrato and Gabe, it’s an honor any time we’re in a room together,” shares Wetzel. “It’s been an unbelievable year and to cap it off with this is just unreal. Huge shoutout to the fans for already making this one Platinum, to our promo team for working their asses off all year and to Country radio for taking a chance on a kid from East Texas.”

Released in July as his fifth studio album, 9 Lives has proven to be a defining album for Wetzel, earning recognition on multiple year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean, Holler and more, with the Los Angeles Times naming “High Road” specifically as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all genres. “High Road” showcases the mature level of vulnerability that defines the still hard-rocking album as a whole.

As Wetzel dominates the year-end airwaves, he’s also spreading holiday cheer with the recent release of his new holiday EP, Koe Wetzel Presents…Wetzel’s Wonderland Chapter 2. Featuring four new reimagined classics, the project continues a tradition that Wetzel’s began last year, now boasting seven songs total. This holiday spirit will come alive later this week when Wetzel takes the stage for two special shows in his home state of Texas for Wetzel’s Wonderland Live, set for Friday, Dec. 27 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth and Saturday, Dec. 28 at Moody Center in Austin. Limited tickets remain available HERE.

CHAYCE BECKHAM BROUGHT THE HOLIDAY CHEER EARLY TO HIS HOMETOWN OF APPLE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

/in /by

PLATINUM selling #1 hit singer-songwriter Chayce Beckham returned to his hometown of Apple Valley, California yesterday, December 12, to visit the town’s local parks and recreation afterschool program at the Singh Center for the Arts. Partnering with Gibson Gives and Free Guitars 4 Kids (FG4K), Beckham personally surprised 30 kids with brand-new guitars.

A cause near to his heart, the American Idol winner is passionate about giving back to his hometown. From his own experience growing up with music at the center, Beckham knows the positive impact music education can have on children and wants to continue to spotlight and support this mission within Apple Valley.

“Music has always been a big part of my life,” Beckham shared. “One of my most cherished memories is when my grandmother bought me my first guitar. Knowing the impact music can have on someone’s life, especially my own, I want to give these kids the same opportunity and encourage them to dream big. I’m so grateful we were able to make yesterday a reality. Seeing their faces and getting to spend time with them reminds me why giving back is so important.”

“When kids hold a guitar for the first time, you can see their eyes light up with possibility. It’s more than an instrument — it’s a doorway to confidence, creativity and self-expression. Partnering with artists like Chayce Beckham shows these kids that their dreams are within reach. Chayce’s journey from Apple Valley to the world stage is living proof that music can change a life. We’re honored to stand with him and Gibson Gives to spark that same hope in the next generation,” said Ben Dudley, Executive Director of Free Guitars 4 Kids.

Doug Robertson, Town Manager of Apple Valley, continued: “We’re incredibly grateful to Chayce Beckham and FG4K for their unwavering support of the arts in Apple Valley. Their dedication to fostering creativity and giving back to our youth truly makes a difference in our community. Thank you for inspiring the next generation!”

EMERGING DELUGE RECORDS NASHVILLE ARTIST KELLI BELLES RELEASES NEW SINGLE “TRUST ISSUES”

/in /by

Rising country artist Kelli Belles (Belles) releases her new single “Trust Issues”. The exuberant track is available across all streaming platforms now.

“Trust Issues” delves into the complexities of feeling doubt and insecurity in a relationship, especially when the person seems “too good to be true.” Written by Kelli Belles, Nell Maynard, and Cassidy Best and produced by Sam Grow, the song shines light on past emotional scars and patterns from old relationships and how they can distort new ones, often leading to the misguided attempt to fix someone rather than accepting them for who they truly are.

“I’ve been teasing the release of ‘Trust Issues’ for a while now, and I’m beyond excited that it’s finally here. This track is intense and fiery, and it served as the inspiration behind my fall tour, The Trust Issues Tour. I know many of my fans can relate to the feeling of dealing with trust issues––especially when some people seem almost too good to be true,” shares Belles.

The release of “Trust Issues” comes on the heels of Belles’ most recent launch for her “What in the Truck” music video. With its compelling narrative and striking visuals, the video is now being showcased on CMT Music. The vibrant music video comes to life under the direction, production, and editing of Sydney Tooley. Corbin Schmidt (Director of Photography/Colorist), Tyler Skrove (Gaffer), and Greg Griggs (Locations/Picture Car) also had a hand in bringing this story to life. The video showcases stunning locations, filmed at Greg’s Auto Repair in East Nashville and Greg Grigg’s residence.

With a voice grounded in her Nebraska roots, Belles is steadily making a name for herself. Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Belles has captivated audiences with her meaningful and witty storytelling. Her original songs, all co-written with some of Nashville’s top writers, have garnered over 70 million views and streams across all platforms. Belles has worked alongside renowned writers such as Reid Isbell (“The Kind of Love We Make”/Luke Combs, “Mr. Saturday Night”/Jon Pardi), Jenn Schott (“7500 OBO” and “Two Lanes of Freedom”/Tim McGraw), Heath Warren (“Rock and A Hard Place”/Bailey Zimmerman and “Something You Ain’t Ever Had”/Waterloo Revival), Johnny Gates (“Truck Girl”/Josh Ross, “Loretta Lynn”/Sam Grow, “Mess It Up”/Blake Wood) and Ned Cameron (Grammy-nominated writer and producer has collaborated with artists including Kid Ink, Machine Gun Kelly, Wiz Khalifa, Sean Kingston and more), contributing to her growing reputation as a songwriter.

Her music has caught the attention of major platforms and outlets, with features on CMT, Spotify’s Next from Nashville, New Music Friday Country, Fresh Finds Country, and Apple Music’s New In Country, Soundcheck, and What Would Dolly Do? playlists. CMT lauded her talent, stating, “Belles’ crystal clear vocals and compelling delivery are displayed in ‘Man Outta Me,’ which verifies that she’s a promising new artist with a bright future ahead.” Belles’ journey in music began in Omaha, Nebraska, deeply influenced by her musical family. With her mother being a part of the successful sister pop/harmony group Mulberry Lane, Belles was surrounded by music from a young age. Her early experiences, including touring with her mother’s group and performing in a mother-daughter duo, laid the foundation for her solo career.

Belles has steadily built a reputation as a powerful and authentic voice in the country music scene. Her recent signing of a global recording agreement with Deluge Records Nashville and a publishing deal with Deluge Music represents a significant milestone in her emerging career. This past fall, Belles wrapped her headlining Trust Issues Tour, performing across the country and further solidifying her place in the industry. Having shared the stage with celebrated country artists, including Miranda Lambert, Old Dominion, Dan + Shay, Brett Eldredge, and Lee Brice, Belles has honed her craft and expanded her fan base.

With a loyal following on social media— boasting 387k followers on TikTok, 131k on Instagram, 166k on YouTube, 158k on Facebook, 70 Million cumulative views and streams of her original songs on all platforms, and 1 million direct fan reach—Belles connects with her fans through her music and live interactions. Her mission is clear: to write songs that resonate deeply with her audience, making them feel empowered, confident, and understood.

JON PARDI WRAPS THE CHRISTMAS SHOWS WITH 13-PIECE BAND AND FESTIVE SET LISTS

/in /by

Country superstar Jon Pardi has made a tradition of his spirited big band holiday run, this year hitting the stage for five festive THE CHRISTMAS SHOW dates. Pardi delivered the perfect holiday celebration backed by a 13-piece band including twin fiddles and a horn section. Proving “there’s no party like a Jon Pardi (Christmas) party!” (People), the lively set list included a mix of holiday classics like “Please Come Home for Christmas” and “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” alongside tracks from his 2023 Christmas album MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM JON PARDI, including “lighthearted” (New York Time) originals “Beer for Santa,” “Merry Christmas from the Keys” and “400 Horsepower Sleigh” as well as his fan-favorite chart-topping hits.

Offstage, Pardi has donated $50,000 to support local charities in each city he visited: Chalk It Up (Sacramento, CA), Time for Change Foundation (San Bernardino, CA), Tulsa Youth Symphony (Tulsa, OK), Center for Children and Families (Norman, OK), and Road Runner Food Bank (Albuquerque, NM), all through his newly established Starlight Fund. Jon and Summer Pardi’s Starlight Fund is dedicated to supporting general youth enrichment, especially in trade, agriculture, and construction. The fund aims to empower the next generation to thrive professionally, and to cultivate a workforce that not only excels but also contributes meaningfully to their communities. Its mission is to provide resources and opportunities to organizations supporting those in need, with a focus on those pursuing hands-on skills and education in these important fields.

Since first hitting the country landscape, singer/songwriter/producer Jon Pardi has long separated himself from the pack, carving a lane that was all his own by producing, writing, and singing songs he created from the melodies up, and earning praise for it. “Jon Pardi cut a path through modern country’s embrace of pop, hip-hop and EDM” (New York Times) with “an emboldened work… a distilling of his sound into a more potent form that draws both vitality and assurance from his anything-but-sterile relationship to his tradition’s modern era” (NPR). Pardi is “a leader among a growing number of artists bringing back fiddle, steel and twang” (People) and “even when he’s singing sad songs, he wants people to have a good time” (Associated Press). Pardi’s critically acclaimed most recent album MR. SATURDAY NIGHT proved he has “blazed his own trail over the past decade” (Billboard) and followed his critically acclaimed 2019 album – HEARTACHE MEDICATION – a CMA and ACM Album of the Year nominated project that was also named as one of Rolling Stone’s “Best Album of the Year” and Los Angeles Times’ (Top 10) “Best Albums of the Year” upon release. His breakthrough Platinum-selling album, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE, which featured the multi-Platinum, chart-topping hits “Dirt On My Boots,” “Head Over Boots,” “Heartache On The Dance Floor” and “Night Shift.” Pardi has earned several No. Ones on country radio and is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (Music Row) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still work on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People). Pardi’s brand new “Friday Night Heartbreaker” is the lead single from his upcoming fifth studio album, anticipated for release in 2025.
