Lego Brings Chris Stapleton & His Band to Life in Innovative New Video for “Second One to Know” [Watch]
Iconic toy brand Lego has helped create an innovative new video for Chris Stapleton’s “Second One to Know.”
The new clip features Chris and his band and crew depicted as Lego mini-figures—but that’s not all. There’s also a Lego troupe of ninjas, a dragon, Chris Pratt and more. The video was created in collaboration with Chris, The Lego Group and Pure Imagination Studios, including producer/director David Coleman.
“We wanted to do something fun for this song and it always sounded like a fight scene to me, so we approached The Lego Group with this idea and a rough outline of what we wanted to do,” says Chris Stapleton. “Once The Lego Group gave us the green light, David Coleman and the team at Pure Imagination took that outline and refined and built it into what it has become. Along the way, the fight got bigger and more absurd and I got a front row seat to watch the massive amount of work that animators put into what they do. The tiniest details were thought about and discussed and edited and revised. My kids even got to be a part of designing their characters and it was a cool thing for us to get to do together. It was an incredible experience for me and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.”
Written by Chris and Mike Henderson, “Second One to Know” is from Chris’ 2017 album, From A Room: Volume 1.
Chris and Morgane Stapleton’s Outlaw State of Kind fund will be donating royalties from the video to organizations implementing the Lego Foundation’s Playful Parenting program, which promotes playful interactions between caregivers and children aged birth to three across the globe.

Dustin Lynch Announces New Album and Tour
Dustin Lynch will follow-up his 2017 album, Current Mood, with the release of his fourth studio album, Tullahoma, on Jan. 17. The new project takes its name from Dustin’s Tennessee hometown, which is about 80 miles southeast of Nashville.
“It’s all about me and growing up in my hometown,” says Dustin. “Every song on this album points to something that happened to me or my close friends and family, and that’s really cool. I’m very proud of where I’m from, and proud of this record because it will hopefully make my hometown a little more famous than it already is.”
The upcoming album will include the three songs—“Ridin’ Road,” “Little Town Livin’” and “Red Dirt, Blue Eyes”—from Dustin’s 2019 EP, Ridin’ Roads, as well as his 2018 standalone single, “Good Girl.” Longtime friend and frequent co-writer Zach Crowell co-produced the album with Dustin.
“I’ve done a lot more living than I’ve done in the past, because this is the first time I’ve been able to tour and also feel like I have a life outside of that,” says Dustin. “It’s figuring out what I enjoy about life the most—outside of music. The kind of stuff my mom and dad, my family and my friends back home did growing up. Outdoors stuff like hunting and fishing, hanging out in the backyard around a bonfire, just connecting. I long to be that kid again, and I think we all do. You get to a certain point in life and start reflecting on why you’re where you’re at . . . and I’ve just figured out that’s what makes me tick. That’s why I work hard.”
In addition to the album, Dustin will hit the road on Jan. 30 for his headlining Stay Country Tour. Travis Denning will serve as support. Tickets for select dates go on sale on Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. local time.

Garth Brooks Announces Final Two Stops on Dive Bar Tour
After taking his Dive Bar Tour to Chicago (July 15), Bakersfield (Aug. 15), New Braunfels (Sept. 23), Sanford (Oct. 16) and Rootstown (Oct. 28), Garth Brooks announced the final two stops on the tour: Prospectors in Mt. Laurel, N.J., and Six String in Foxborough, Mass.
Both tour stops will take place on Dec. 2. The exact show times will be announced soon.
“The only thing better than one dive bar? We’re just gonna have to do two in one night,” said Garth on Inside Studio G. “It’s gonna be an early night and a late night, all at the same time.”
Like the five previous stops on the tour, tickets to the final shows are only available via country radio in the area. Garth’s seven-date Dive Bar Tour takes its name from his current single, “Dive Bar,” which features Blake Shelton.
