Lauren Alaina and Jon Pardi has released a performance video to their “Getting Over Him.”
With her love of puns, Lauren shared, “There’s a RYMAN reason I chose to put Jon Pardi on this song. Watch us perform ‘Getting Over Him’ now.”
Lauren added, “Jon Pardi who is one of my dear friends. I absolutely love him and his personality, and I knew when I wrote this song with Emily Weisband and Paul DiGiovanni that he we would be the perfect guy for it. It’s about going out and having a good time, and Jon Pardi is the definition of going out and having a good time.”

LANCO is at country radio right now with their current single, “Near Mrs.” but they recently shared a little something extra with the fans.
“One Beer” is a new song from the guys, written lead singer Brandon Lancaster, drummer Tripp Howell and Jaren Johnston from The Cadillac Three.
Brandon says, “There are some memories in life where you don’t remember every detail, but one vivid experience that stuck with all of us was our first drink and the people we were with.”
Tripp shares, “I love that this song turns into a conversation piece after listening, and it gives people the chance to reminisce on their own story. That’s how this song started to quickly come together….when we are on the road and someone spills a drink the running tag line is ‘I remember my first beer’… and we just went off our own memories and the song started to write itself.”
Brandon adds, “It’s a universal song that’s going to be fun to get back on the road and play for our fans. They might not remember the beer, but they will take away an experience, which is the entire sentiment of the song.”

Travis Denning‘s song “ABBY” is already a super fun track, so how do you make the music video even better…you dial it back. Back to the early 2000s.
Travis shares, “‘ABBY’ has always been a song that typically gets a good laugh when people first hear the lyrics. So, when it came to a concept for the music video, it just made sense for it to be something that matched that sentiment of lightheartedness and not taking yourself too seriously. We had so much fun shooting this music video and honestly just paying tribute to some of my favorite artists in the genre, from Toby Keith to Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney to Montgomery Gentry. I hope everyone feels that when they’re watching it.”
At the start of the video Travis says “I swear the early 2000 were perfect for country music videos, I mean they were cheesy, but god they were fun and they’re so nostalgic now…I wish I could do a video like that.”
Then the “ABBY” T-Shirt wearing girl next to him simply says “Maybe you should.”
And that’s when the fun begins…
Check out the very nostalgic “ABBY” music video from Travis Denning…
Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes on Monday announced that veteran assistant coach Justin Gainey has joined the Volunteers’ staff. Gainey boasts 15 years of Division I coaching and administrative experience in the ACC, Pac-12, Big East and beyond.
“I coached against Justin when he was the point guard at NC State,” Barnes said. “He was an incredibly tough competitor then, and he has that same tenacity now as a coach. Justin has a passion for on-court player development that fits well with our staff. Our players are going to love working with him to grow their game.
“He’s proven that he can recruit effectively nationwide, and we’re particularly excited about his ability to maintain our strong ties throughout the state of North Carolina.”
Immediately prior to coming to Tennessee, Gainey spent the 2020-21 season as the associate head coach at Marquette. It was his second stint on Steve Wojciechowski’s staff, as he also worked with the Golden Eagles from 2014-17.
In between his stints in Milwaukee, Gainey was an assistant coach at Santa Clara in 2017-18 and Arizona from 2018-20. During his time at Arizona, he assisted in the recruitment and development of 2020 NBA Draft picks Josh Green, Zeke Nnaji and Nico Mannion.
The Wildcats led the Pac 12 in scoring in 2019-20 and owned the league’s third-best scoring defense. Nnaji and Mannion earned first- and second-team All-Pac-12 honors, respectively, that season, while Nnaji also earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Year acclaim.
At Santa Clara—where Gainey joined the staff of his head coach in college, Herb Sendek—Gainey worked closely with the Broncos’ perimeter players, including first-team All-West Coast Conference performer K.J. Feagin. Gainey also was instrumental in assembling a 2018 signing class rated among the 10 best mid-major classes in the country.
From 2010-14, Gainey spent four years on Jason Capel’s staff at Appalachian State, immediately preceded by one season at Elon—his first in an on-court coaching role—in 2009-10.
It was at NC State, his alma, mater, that Gainey began his career in coaching. He spent two seasons as an administrative coordinator before head coach Sidney Lowe elevated him to director of basketball operations for the 2008-09 campaign.
A standout college point guard, Gainey played four seasons at NC State from 1996-2000. The Wolfpack’s record steadily improved throughout his career, and the program earned postseason appearances all four years. Gainey was elected team captain as a senior in 1999-2000 and led that squad to the NIT semifinals.
At the conclusion of his playing career at NC State, Gainey ranked second in program history in starts (103), fourth in steals (190), tied for fifth in games played (128) and ninth in assists (344).
He earned ACC All-Tournament Team honors as a freshman in 1997. And in the quarterfinals of his last ACC Tournament, Gainey recorded nine steals during a win over Virginia (March 10, 2000)—the mark still stands as the second-most steals in a game by a Wolfpack player.
In 1998, Greensboro (N.C.) Day School, where Gainey earned NCISAA Player of the Year honors in 1995 and 1996, retired Gainey’s jersey.
Gainey received his degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Marketing, in 2000 and earned a master’s degree in Sport Management in 2006—both from NC State.
He and his wife, Courtney, have three sons, Jordan, Jayson and Jaxson.
Luke Bryan shared on social media today (4/12), “I’m sad to say I won’t be a part of tonight’s first live American Idol show. I tested positive for COVID but I’m doing well and look forward to being back at it soon.”
Luke Bryan just released the Deluxe Edition of his album, Born Here Live Here Die Here — which includes 6 new songs, including his brand new single “Waves.”
Talking about the new track, Luke says, “’Waves’ is a song about kids falling in love during the summer and just all the images and everything about just how beautiful that summer love is and how the emotions just keep coming in waves. ‘Waves’ is kind of a play on words, and I fell in love with the song the second I heard it.”
At the end of last week, Luke did a couple of TV appearances…on opposite ends of the broadcast day. He sat down with Jimmy Kimmel for a conversation, and also performed another song on the Born Here Live Here Die Here (Deluxe Edition) on the late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
On Friday morning Luke appeared on Good Morning America and sang “Waves” as it made its television debut.
Luke also released the music video for “Waves” as well…you can check out all of those videos right here.
The original version of Born Here Live Here Die Here is up for Album of the Year at this weekend’s ACM Awards — we’ll have to wait and see which song he performs on the broadcast…catch it this Sunday, April 18th, as the 56th Annual ACM Awards will be live on CBS, 8 PM ET/ 7 PM CT , and available to stream live on Paramount Plus.
Ashley McBryde is a multiple ACM Award nominee going into this weekend’s 56th Annual ACM Awards.
Ashley has nods in the Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (Never Will), and Song of the Year (“One Night Standards”) categories.
But did you know “One Night Standards” went through a major change before it became a major hit, and earned the ACM Award nomination.
Originally the track was called “Airport Hotel” — Ashley shares the story of how the song, co-written with Shane McAnally and Nicolette Hayford, changed, “We were just trying to be really honest with each other. We had written this song and originally it was called ‘Airport Hotel,’ and then we decided to revisit that song because there was some real gems in there that we felt needed to be presented, but something was missing. And we thought it was the word ‘Airport Hotel.’ And turns out it was because ‘Airport Hotel’ wasn’t the point at all…it was having a one night stand that was the point.”
Ashley adds that after that realization of what they were really trying to write about the 3 writers needed a second to focus…“We had to walk away from it to give it a second to breathe. When we got back in a room, this time Shane was with us and I joked, ‘You know, hotel rooms . . . they only have one night stand for a reason. They’re one night stand-ers.’ Shane and Nic’s eyes lit up, ‘Did you just say one night standards?’”
Ashley McBryde will be performing the version of “One Night Standards” that everyone now knows and loves, this Sunday, April 18th, on the 56th Annual ACM Awards — catch it live on CBS, 8 PM ET/ 7 PM CT , and available to stream live on Paramount Plus.
