Nashville, along with many parts of the country, is experiencing cold, snowy, icy weather.
Some people love it…and some don’t.
Put Dan + Shay in the category of people that are glad snow exists…
Although it wasn’t all easy going.
They shared a video with their previous hit as the soundtrack to point out the problem they ran into…

29 is 7 songs that cover the events and emotions that Carly lived through over the past almost two years — and she can’t wait for fans to check them out, “I’m curious to see which songs people will gravitate to, I’m curious…kind of feels like Christmas…that Friday is coming because…oh, my goodness, I can’t wait to see…I’ve seen just a little bit of how ‘Next Girl’ and ‘Show Me Around’ and ‘Should’ve Known Better’ have done, but there are some other ones that I’m just so excited for people to hear.”
29′s track list includes…
1. “Next Girl” | Carly Pearce, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne
2. “Should’ve Known Better” | Carly Pearce, Jordan Reynolds, Emily Shackelton
3. “29” | Carly Pearce, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne

Carly shares a little additional insight into the project with this trailer…
29 arrives this Friday, February 19th — and features the track “Next Girl.”
Carly shares, “’Next Girl’ is a song that I think every girl has been on both sides of the story at least once in our life, but I bet quite a few times. And for me, I’ve been single the majority of my life, so I’ve encountered this guy a lot through my life and my girlfriends have encountered him. Girls at my show probably encounter him at my show, or after the show I see girls encounter him at the bar. And for me, it’s an anthem for girls, kind of like as their big sister, telling them, ‘This guy’s never gonna change. It’s the same story night after night, and to watch out for it.”

Luke Combs performed a pre-race show at the DAYTONA 500 this past weekend, it was the first time he sang in front of a crowd in a year.
Luke shared, “One year ago…we were playing the 4th show on the What You See Is What You Get Tour with over 25 shows left. The band and I had worked so hard to bring y’all this show. Little did I know then, it would be the next to last show on the tour in 2020. Even though it’s in a different context, guess my line ‘stop takin’ me for granted like I’ll always be around’ in ‘Dear Today’ really rings true looking back on it.”
Luke adds, “I miss y’all and shows more than you know.”
But on Sunday after the set, Luke said “We got to play a show in front of real people for the first time in a YEAR! What a day.”
Of course it was on Valentine’s day and he got to share the experience with his wife Nicole — Luke says, “This woman makes me a better man every single day.”
But on his way home, he got stranded because of the snow and ice storm covering the Nashville area, so he hasn’t made it back yet…and if you’re Luke Combs and you have time on your hands, what do you do? You share a new song of course!
Luke posted, “Haven’t been able to get home from Daytona yet because of the weather, so we’re just hanging out and I figured I’d share a new song I’ve been working on with Channing Wilson and Rob Snyder. It’s called ‘Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old.’ What do y’all think?”
While he got a taste of performing live again this weekend, Luke is bringing a concert experience to his fans this Thursday!
It’s a little twist on the virtual events we’ve become used to over the past year.
Luke is going to replay the full recording of his concert from Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY — This was the next to last show that he played last year on the What You See Is What You Get Tour.
The set list from the show includes…
“When It Rains It Pours”
“Must’ve Never Met You”
“1, 2 Many”
“Refrigerator Door”
“Does to Me”
“New Every Day”
“One Number Away”
“Without You”
“Dear Today”
“Blue Collar Boys”
“She Got the Best of Me”
“All Over Again”
“Memories Are Made Of”
“Even Though I’m Leaving”
“Beautiful Crazy”
“Honky Tonk Highway”
“Lovin’ on You”
“Angels Workin’ Overtime”
“Beer Never Broke My Heart”
“Better Together”
“Brand New Man” (Brooks & Dunn cover)
“Hurricane”
Head to Luke’s Facebook page for more details and a link to the livestream event.
Of course while he thought “Better Together” would do well, Luke Combs might not have predicted it would have done this well — it’s once again the number-one song on the Billboard airplay charts, and it’s the longest reigning number-one of 2021 so far!

Eric Church‘s new musical project Heart & Soul was an uncomfortable recording process…and he wanted it that way.
He wanted to shake up things in the way he’s been making music — even to the point of recording the 3 albums Heart, &, Soul, not in a studio…but a restaurant in North Carolina.
Listen to Eric talk about the making of the albums, and why he wanted this process to be so different…

Cole Swindell is no stranger to making music videos, but the process to create one for his song “Single Saturday Night” was a bit different due to quarantining and social distancing.
Cole shares the basic instructions he got going into the video shoot, “It was pretty much, ‘Hey, get in front of a green screen and have fun.’”
Talking about the concept of the video Cole says, “We turned it into pretty much, me falling asleep on the couch, and kind of like going into this weird dream, which is what it was. A lot of the places…and it turned out to be, and we didn’t even plan it but a lot of places were my favorite places – the golf course, Braves game, Preds game…whatever it is. Just having those memories at the beginning of the video with the fans and all that, I just think it represented everybody’s 2020, just wanting to escape a little bit. Then I wake up at the end like ‘What in the world just happened’…maybe that’s kind of…when this is over, that’s what we’re all gonna do.”
If you’ve seen the video you know Cole is wearing some interesting clothing choices…well, he admits that wasn’t a wardrobe department, that stuff just came out of his own closet.
Yup–everything he wears in the video…he owns.
But in the end Cole, his band and his team created one of the most fun music videos of the year with “Single Saturday Night,” and Cole says “We did have a good time.”
When it comes to the song, Cole knew it was one that he had to sing because not only could he relate to it, but he thought everyone else could too, “I knew the first time I heard ‘Single Saturday Night’ that I had to record it. It could be for anybody. For anybody in a relationship…already had their last single Saturday night, or maybe for somebody looking for that special someone, heading out on the weekend looking to change it all”
