Callista Clark has returned to the performing shows after the quarantine shutdown, and now she’s finally getting to play her current single – “it’s Cause I Am” – for fans, live and in-person!
Coming from a small town in Georgia, Callista is now playing shows that include more people than are in her hometown.
Zebulon, Georgia – where Callista is from – has a population of about 12-hundred people. The first stop on the Famous Friends 2021 tour…the First Security Amphitheater has a capacity of just over 8-thousand. So, you know, everyone in Zebulon can go.
Of course the size of the venues doesn’t worry Callista – she’s ready to hit the ground running as a part of Chris Young‘s upcoming tour – which launches in October.
In fact she’s ready to help Chris out with his songs if she’s called upon…Callista recently shared her version of “Lonely Eyes” – her favorite Chris Young song.
Check out Callista’s music video for “It’s Cause I Am” – her song that’s climbing the country chart…

Congrats goes out to Cole Swindell as his “Single Saturday Night” is spending a second week in the number-1 spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart!
“Single Saturday Night” joins the list of Cole’s songs that connect with fans in a big way, and he says, that’s what making music is all about for him, “It’s crazy to know that, you know, we get to do this and make people feel something – that’s why I wanted to write songs because I knew how I felt when I heard certain songs, so I just wanted a shot at trying to help other people the way music has helped me.”

As Carly Pearce gets ready to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry (Tuesday August 3rd) – she’s announcing some new album news!

Blake Shelton is one of the hottest hit makers in country music these days, but in the summer of 2001 – as a newcomer – he had a song that would launch him into the spotlight, and now in 2021 – he’s looking back on his very first number-1 song, “Austin.”
Check out the video for “Austin”…
The hair is a little shorter – and a little grayer now – but Blake Shelton is still making music videos…like for his latest hit – “Minimum Wage.”
