“Nashville” Actress Clare Bowen Plans Self-Titled Debut Album

Clare Bowen was a fixture on CMT’s Nashville as Scarlett O’Connor for six seasons from 2012–2018. In addition to her acting duties, Clare toured with the Nashville troupe between seasons and sang a number of songs on the 22 soundtracks the show inspired.

The 35-year-old Australian native revealed she is planning to release her self-titled debut album on July 12. Produced by Josh Kaufman, the upcoming album features songwriters Amy Wadge, Wyatt Durrette, Nathan Chapman and Lori McKenna. Clare also worked on the album with husband and longtime collaborator Brandon Robert Young, who co-wrote many of the album’s songs with Clare.

On May 23, Clare will released the album’s lead single, “Let It Rain,” a soulful anthem about surviving life’s hardships and letting go of fear.

Clare will embark on a headlining tour this summer, including stops in Nashville, Chicago and New York.

Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn Are “Having a Great Time” as They Extend Their Las Vegas Residency With New Dates

You can never have too much of a good thing . . . especially in Vegas.

On that note, dig this: Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn have extended their Sin City residency—Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas—with eight new dates at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to close out 2019.

In addition to the previously announced dates of June 26, 28 and 29 and July 3, 4 and 5, newly announced dates include:

  • December 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 14

Tickets for the new dates go on sale on May 17 at noon PST.

Since premiering the residency in June 2015, the trio has played more than 80 shows over the course of the last four years.

“We’re having a great time on the Las Vegas residency with Reba,” said Ronnie Dunn to Nash Country Daily. “Kix and I kid all the time that we ran up and down the road on buses for 20 years just to get a chance to do this. It’s as fun and convenient as you can get in this business. We’re having a great time.”

Trio of Vols Selected for NBA Draft Combine

Trio of Vols Selected for NBA Draft Combine

Credit: Ut Athletics

CHICAGO — Three Tennessee men’s basketball players will have a chance to showcase their talents this week in front of all 30 teams at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine.

Two-time SEC Player of the Year Grant Williams and the All-SEC duo of Jordan Bone and Admiral Schofield were named to the 66-player roster released by the NBA. Tennessee’s three participants are tied for the most of any program.

The NBA Draft Combine will take place Thursday and Friday at Quest Multisport in Chicago. The event allows the best draft-eligible players to participate in physical measurements, interviews, shooting, strength and agility drills and five-on-five games in front of NBA personnel. ESPN2 will provide coverage both days from 3-7 p.m. ET.

NBA coaches, general managers and scouts will be on hand to evaluate players in preparation for the annual NBA Draft, which takes place on June 20 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

A consensus first-team All-American, Williams ranked among the nation’s most versatile and efficient players this year, averaging 18.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals per game. The Charlotte, N.C., native ranked in the top 10 in the SEC in scoring (1st), field-goal percentage (2nd), free-throw percentage (5th), rebounding (7th) and assist/turnover ratio (10th).

Bone set the Tennessee single-season record for assist/turnover ratio at 2.91, surpassing the previous record set in 2002-03. The Nashville, Tenn., native recorded 215 assists this season, which ranked as the third most all time in a single season by a Vol and the most ever by a junior. He averaged 13.5 points per game and ranked third in the SEC with 5.8 assists per game.

Schofield, who was one of only five seniors to be chosen for the combine, ranked fifth in the SEC in scoring (16.5 ppg) and field-goal percentage (.474). As a high-volume shooter, the Zion, Ill., native shot 50 percent or better from the floor 18 times as a senior and led the team with 74 3-pointers and a 42-percent clip from beyond the arc.

The trio helped the Vols (31-6) advance to the Sweet Sixteen and match the program record for wins in a single season and played a critical role in this year’s team setting program records for points, field goals made, assists and blocks.

A total of 46 Vols have been chosen in the NBA Draft. Most recently was Josh Richardson in the 2015 NBA Draft, when the Miami Heat took him in the second round with the 40th overall pick. The last first-round pick selected from UT was Tobias Harris in 2011, when Charlotte took him 19th overall.

Brinley Addington

Born: Kingsport, Tenn.
Lives: Nashville
Age: 30
EP: Songs From a Bar
Single: “Come Back”
Twitter: @brinley_
Instagram: @brinleyaddington
Facebook: @brinleyaddington

Since making his way to Music City more than 10 years ago, Tennessee native Brinley Addington has been pounding the musical pavement. The traditionally-steeped troubadour co-penned Tyler Farr’s recent single, “I Should Go to Church Sometime,” and has secured opening gigs for a number of artists, including Chris Young, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett and more. Brinley dropped his five-song EP, Songs From a Bar, in 2018, and recently released new single, “Come Back.”

How did you get started in music?

The first time I sang in front of a crowd was in a talent show in the fourth grade, but I feel like I really got started by singing in church when I was 12 years old.

At what age did you realize you wanted to make music your career?

I’ve always loved music, but when I was about nine years old, I became obsessed with music. I had no idea where to even start, but that’s when I started dreaming.

Who are some of musical influences?

Alan Jackson, George Strait, James Taylor, Randy Travis and Vince Gill.

What three words describe you as a musician?

Honest, heartfelt, country.

What would you say is unique about your sound?

It’s a reflection of who I am, where I’m from and what I listen to.

What does your new single, “Come Back,” say about you?

Since it was inspired by something I was living at the time, I feel like it’s spot-on about what I was going through and how I felt. I really tried to be honest about where I was and let it come through in the song.

What was the first concert you attended?

I was really little so I don’t remember much, but it was Randy Travis and Alan Jackson. Pretty great one to get started with.

What’s the last song you heard that blew you away?

Cole Swindell’s “Break Up in the End.” I haven’t been hit that hard by a song in a while.

Where is the craziest place you’ve performed?

I got asked to play a song on an airplane one time. There may have been a crazier place I’m forgetting, but that was definitely the most awkward.

What’s the first thing you do after a show?

Drink a beer.

What’s your favorite song to cover?

“Time Marches On” by Tracy Lawrence.

What family member or friend has been the most supportive of your musical career?

My mom. She’s been there for me and encouraged me every step of the way in my career and my personal life. This business can be hard at times, and I don’t think I’d be where I am if she hadn’t been in my corner on those hard days.

Bonnaroo Adds Old Crow Medicine Show, Ricky Skaggs, Steve Earle, Morgan Evans, Ashley Monroe & More

The Grand Ole Opry stage announced its lineup for the 2019 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival: Old Crow Medicine Show, Ricky Skaggs, Riders in the Sky, Steve Earle, Morgan Evans, Ashley Monroe, Molly Tuttle and Wendy Moten. A broadcast of the performances will air live via opry.com on June 13.

The 2019 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival will take place June 13–16 at Great Stage Park, the 700-acre farm and event space located just 60 miles south of Nashville in Manchester, Tenn. And, if you were wondering, Nashville’s CMA Fest is scheduled for June 6–9, 2019, so the two festivals don’t coincide this year.

Bonnaroo unleashed its 100-plus-artist lineup in January, including a number of country-centric performers: Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, John Prine, Ruston Kelly and more.

Bonnaroo tickets are on sale now.

In addition to headliners Phish, Childish Gambino, Post Malone, Odesza and the Lumineers, the four-day festival will feature performances from:
