Dierks Bentley Will Soon Open New Whiskey Row Restaurant in Nashville

Posted on October 4, 2017

After opening three Whiskey Row restaurants in Arizona (Scottsdale, Tempe and Gilbert) over the past few years, Dierks Bentley is ready to try his entrepreneurial luck in Tennessee.

Dierks is slated to open his fourth Whiskey Row location on Nashville’s Lower Broadway later this year. The multi-level restaurant, which will include three floors and a rooftop patio that will combine Dierks’ love for live music and sports, will be located at 400 Broadway

“There was only one place to go outside of Arizona if we were going to expand, and that is the streets of Lower Broadway,” said Dierks. “When I first moved to town, that street was my second home. It’s where I got my start and it’s always been a dream of mine to own a bar down there.”

Formerly the long-time home of Gruhn’s Guitars, each floor of the refurbished building will have its own unique personality and an emphasis on great music. The first floor will feature live music daily with a stage, full bar and a full dining menu. The second floor will also serve a full dining menu and will progress throughout the evening with a DJ booth and dancefloor. The rooftop patio will be open all night and day and will feature brunch.

Menu items include sliders, burgers, sandwiches and larger entrees, such as chicken & waffles, steak salad, Alabama chicken and more.

Watch Shania Twain Perform “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” on “The Late Show With James Corden”

Posted on October 4, 2017

In support of her new album, Now, which dropped on Sept. 29, Shania Twain took her talents to L.A. to perform “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed” on The Late Show With James Corden.

Shania penned every track on her new album, including “Swingin’ With My Eyes Closed,” which she released as a single in August.

“The new music is more celebratory, more inspirational, more about coming from somewhere bad and going somewhere good, dark to light, and that whole transition emotionally,” said Shania to Nash Country Daily. “So, it’s a little deeper emotionally, for sure, this new album. There’s a lot of optimism.”

Watch Shania’s performance below.

After Las Vegas Attack, Jason Aldean Cancels 3 Upcoming Tour Dates & Issues a New Statement

After Las Vegas Attack, Jason Aldean Cancels 3 Upcoming Tour Dates & Issues a New Statement

Posted on October 3, 2017

On Oct. 1, a “lone wolf” gunman opened fire during Jason Aldean’s set at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, killing 59 people and injuring more than 500. As you can imagine, it’s been an emotional couple of days for Jason.

Today (Oct. 3), Jason released a statement through his PR team, canceling three upcoming dates on his They Don’t Know Tour: Los Angeles (Oct. 6), San Diego (Oct. 7) and Anaheim (Oct. 8).

The tour will resume on Oct. 12 in Tulsa, Okla. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.  

Jason’s full statement is below.

As a result of what happened in Las Vegas this week, we have decided to cancel this coming weekend’s shows. I feel like out of respect for the victims, their families and our fans, it is the right thing to do. It has been an emotional time for everyone involved this week, so we plan to take some time to mourn the ones we have lost and be close with our family and friends. Our plan is to resume the tour the following week in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our first time back onstage will be a very tough and emotional thing for us, but we will all get through it together and honor the people we lost by doing the only thing we know how to do – play our songs for them. I hope everyone understands why we can’t play this weekend and I’m sorry if anyone is disappointed.

I want to say thank you for the outpouring of love from my friends and fans we have received over the last couple days. You guys have no idea how much you have helped get us through this tough time.

Thank You and God Bless.

Watch Kenny Chesney’s New Video Update on Hurricane Relief Via His “Love For Love City Foundation”

Posted on October 3, 2017

After Hurricane Irma destroyed his home in St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands in early September, Kenny Chesney promised to help those affected by the devastation, saying, “I don’t know right now how we’re going to do this. But I want to help. I want to enlist my friends to figure out the best ways to make a difference, to help in whatever ways, small or larger, that we can . . . Give us a few days to figure this out.”

True to his word, Kenny launched the Love for Love City Foundation to support Hurricane Irma relief. “Love City” is St. John’s nickname.

Kenny has continued sending supplies to the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, increasing the effort after Hurricane Maria dealt another blow to the Caribbean in mid-September, especially St. Croix.

Kenny posted a video update on Love for Love City’s efforts on Facebook today (Oct. 3), which you can watch below. Those interested in supporting the Love for Love City Foundation can do so online.
