This past weekend Jordan Davis returned to the concert stage for a show in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Jordan reacts to playing his first show back after the shutdown of 2020, “You know, being back playing that first show, having a full crowd, full band, feeling like it was normal again, it was crazy.”
He adds, “I don’t think we knew how much we missed it, and I haven’t been that nervous, since…I can’t tell you the last time I had nerves like that walking on a stage. But man, after that first song, it really did feel like we were back.”
Jordan will have more shows throughout 2021, with many festival and fair dates – as well as his own Buy Dirt tour.
Of course fans singing along to this one helped calm those nerves – check out the music video for Jordan Davis’ “Almost Maybes’ right here…
As fans eagerly await the August release of Chris Young‘s next album, Famous Friends, they can get one more piece of the musical puzzle right now with “Rescue Me” – a song that Chris says just “kind of fell into my lap.”
Talking about the track, Chris says “‘Rescue Me’ is one of those songs that kind of fell into my lap. The other four guys that I wrote it with had kind of started the idea. They shot me a short little clip was like, ‘hey, seeing if this something you’d be interested in’ And I was like, ‘absolutely.’ And actually, if you go look at the production credit, part of the reason why it’s me and Mark Holman is a lot of that was from the original track that he built a lot of stuff that he played. And I actually sing that in one of my mics in my little downstairs studio. So when I tell you guys that this song is something that jumped off the page and was really special and made during the whole craziness of the past year and a half, it’s 100% true.”
Chris cowrote “Rescue Me” with Mark Holman, Josh Hoge, and Christian Davis Stainecker – and it’s one of the 14-tracks on his upcoming album Famous Friends that is available August 6th.

Dan + Shay are one of the hottest country music acts around. They’re winning awards, creating number-one hit songs, and once they get back on the road, they’ll return to selling out venues and entertaining fans across the nation.
So, when it comes to finding out why the combination of Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney works so well, Dan shares the winning formula, “Balance is definitely part of what makes Dan + Shay work.”
Dan adds, “When we found each other our songwriting balance, and our performing, and our harmonies kind of just met in the middle and created a sound that was unique, that people hadn’t heard before. Still till this day every-time we write we know our roles and we know where to balance each other out so that’s one of the Ying and Yang, ebb and flow things that makes this whole project work and makes it what it is today.”
“Glad You Exist” is their latest track in a string of hit songs that is climbing the country music charts.
Fans will be able to sing along with the guys on this when their The (Arena) Tour kicks off in September.

Kylie Morgan recently released her EP, Love Kylie…
After having a hand in writing all 6 tracks on the project, Kylie jokes that creating music is “cheaper than therapy.”
But it’s always been that way for her.
Kylie shares that her special connection to music, dates back to when she was a little girl, “My guitar and my CD player was my therapy all growing up – and it truly was one of those things that that’s why I love to write music because you can get everything out on paper and on…with a melody and then I swear after I write a song about something that I’m going through…it’s like a giant exhale for me. I feel so much better, and I can even place my thoughts better by just writing then down and putting them into a song. So, it is definitely therapy…and it’s cheaper than therapy, so that’s exciting (laugh).”
From “Cheating On You,” to “I Only Date Cowboys,” to the EP’s lead track, “Shoulda” – Kylie’s fingerprints are all over the music on this collection, “This EP is the most personal thing I’ve ever created. Every song is a chapter in my life.”
