World-renowned entertainer Brad Paisley premieres his much-anticipated new single, “Bucked Off,” on country radio today. It is available to download and stream HERE.

“Bucked Off,” a light-hearted breakup song, is described by the multi-Platinum singer-songwriter as “turbo honky-tonk, reminiscent of ‘80s and ‘90s country but futuristic.” Co-written by Paisley, Chris DuBois and Kelley Lovelace, “Bucked Off” is his first collaboration with multiple-award winning producer Dann Huff. Huff and Paisley co-produced the single; Kendal Marcy was executive producer.

Brad Paisley will perform the new single for the first time on national television tomorrow night at the “52nd Annual CMA Awards,” Country Music’s Biggest Night, 8 pm Eastern/7 pm Central on ABC. This is the 11th year Paisley will co-host the awards show with Carrie Underwood.

Country supertrio PISTOL ANNIES‘ newly released third album INTERSTATE GOSPEL on RCA Records Nashville debuted this week at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Listen now on all streaming platforms and purchase the album here.

Tune in this Wednesday to watch the Annies perform at the CMA Awards on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CST.

Watch the trio perform an acoustic version of “Best Years Of My Life” here.

Penned by the Pistol Annies, the 14-track album showcases the group’s stunning harmonies, such as the “classic country tearjerker” (Stereogum) “Masterpiece”; “sly take on gender roles” (Variety) “Sugar Daddy”; “saucy, high-spirited” (Rolling Stone) “Stop Drop and Roll One“; “more irreverent than earnest” (NPR) “Interstate Gospel”; and “confession of dead-end desperation” (New York Times) “Best Years of My Life.” Moving from celebratory anthems, classic country storytelling and vibey swagger, the Grammy-nominated trio are back and sounding Annie-er than ever.

The Pistol Annies’ very first single to go to Country Radio is “Got My Name Changed Back.” Fans should listen for it on their local radio stations. The fun-spirited music video for the single is out now. Watch it here.

The trio performed three sold-out concert events over the past week at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, NYC’s intimate venue The Town Hall, and LA’s breakout downtown concert hall The Novo. These shows were the Annies’ way of inviting their fans into their living room to hang, talk, laugh and commiserate about real life while singing their own kind of country music.

Luke Combs’ fourth-consecutive No. 1 single, “She Got The Best of Me,” remains at the top of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for the fourth-straight week—this year’s only four-week No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay song.

Combs is the first solo artist to score four consecutive career-opening No. 1’s on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart following 3x Platinum “Hurricane,” 2x Platinum “When It Rains It Pours” and Platinum “One Number Away,” which all appear on the deluxe version of This One’s For You out now on River House Artists/Columbia Nashville. Since its release June 2, 2017—74 weeks ago—This One’s For You has spent a total of seventeen non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, including thirteen weeks in 2018—the most of any album this year.

In continued celebration of his groundbreaking year, Combs will perform at this week’s 2018 CMA Awards where he is nominated for two awards: Male Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year. The awards ceremony will be broadcast on ABC live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (11/14) at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

Additionally, the deluxe version of his debut album, This One’s For You Too, is now available for vinyl pre-order. Arriving this Friday (11/16) the double LP features all fifteen deluxe album tracks plus two of Combs’ “CMT Crossroads” performances with Leon Bridges: “Beautiful Crazy” and “Beyond.”

Combs will embark on his largest North American headline tour in 2019—with 26 of the 28 venues already sold-out. The “Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour” features sold-out performances at Greensboro, NC’s Greensboro Coliseum, Greenville, SC’s Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Columbus, OH’s Schottenstein Center, Charlottesville, VA’s John Paul Jones Arena, New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom, Omaha, NE’s HI Health Center and Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre among many others.

Since the release of This One’s For You, Combs has been named Billboard’s Top 100 Artist and Top New Country Artist of 2017, “Best New Country Artist” at the iHeart Radio Awards, Music Row’s “Breakthrough Artist Of The Year” and 2017 Artist To Watch by Amazon Music, Billboard, Bobby Bones, CMT, HuffPost, Nashville Lifestyles, Pandora and Rolling Stone.

This One’s For You was produced by Scott Moffatt (except for “One Number Away,” which was co-produced by Sammy Mitchell and Jackie Boyz) and recorded in Nashville, TN at Gold Cassette Studios and Direct Image Recording Studio. Released earlier this summer, This One’s For You Too debuted at No. 1 on Billboard Country Albums Chart and No. 4 on Billboard 200 Chart.

This weekend, acclaimed country band Old Dominion wrapped the SOLD OUT European leg of their “Happy Endings World Tour” at Queen Margaret Union in Glasgow, Scotland. The nine-date run saw the band hit cities across Ireland, England, and Scotland.

Simon Jones (AEG Presents SVP of Live Music, International) said of the European dates: “To see how much Old Dominion have grown as a band since their first time at C2C and a small Hoxton Bar & Kitchen show in London through to their recent sell out U.K. run has been amazing to watch. They are consummate performers, and we’re looking forward to seeing their international business grow and grow.”

Chris York (Producer C2C Festival/ SJM Concerts) added: “Building on their fantastic shows at C2C it was a delight to see Old Dominion build their U.K. audience on this run. Big stars in the making. Great sold out run and a wonderful show in London last night. We look forward to bringing [Old Dominion] back soon.”

Cathy Wilson (Aiken Promotions) on the Ireland dates said: “Aiken Promotions were delighted to recently have Old Dominion here in Ireland for their first-ever headline shows, which were sold out in advance. Brilliant songs with those instant sing-along hooks that Irish audiences love so much, all performed by a Band that are just amazing live. We can’t wait to see them back in Ireland soon.”

Check out photos below of the acclaimed band alongside Nate Ritches (Dale Morris & Associates), Tom Saunders (AEG presents-Europe) and Toby Leighton-Pope (CEO AEG Presents UK), as well as Chris York (President of SJM Concerts), Milly Olykan (VP International Relations CMA), Ali Harnell(SVP Global Touring AEG Presents) and Will Hitchcock (Morris Higham Management).

Nate Ritches, speaking on the bands multiple European runs, said: “It’s been an exciting build over the past three trips across the pond, AEG leading the way partnering with independent promoters SJM, Aiken, and more as we continue to build and break into other countries. Starting with C2C side stages three years ago, followed by direct support with Thomas Rhett and a return to the C2C circuit playing the main stage this past spring, the strategic timing and opportunity could not have aligned better in set up of our hard ticket build. The band understands and supports what it takes to build in the European marketplace, dedicating the time, with arenas in the foreseeable plan.  A 2019 early fall run has already been confirmed for their fourth trip, followed by late spring of 2020.  It’s exciting to have an act that is resonating so well and helping break the country stereotype within the European country fan base, as the genre grows overall across the continent.”

Old Dominion recently released their new single “Make It Sweet” and announced their 2019 headlining arena tour of the same name. Get the song HEREand click HERE for tickets. The track marked the group’s first new original release since the arrival of the chart-topping Happy Endings in Summer 2017.

The upbeat “Make It Sweet” unlocks the next chapter of Old Dominion. Rustling acoustic guitars and pedal steel bristle up against heartfelt verses before the hashtag-worthy handclap-driven refrain — “Life is short, make it sweet” — takes flight. The song culminates on a rafter-reaching guitar solo and show-stopping vocal performance. They also uncovered the cinematic music video for the song (HERE) and recently performed the single on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (HERE).

Multi-platinum entertainer Chris Young scores his 11^th No. 1 single on 11/11,  as “Hangin’ On” takes the top spot on the Mediabase Country Radio Chart. Written by Young with Corey Crowder and Josh Hoge, the song, which “finds Young revving up his rich country baritone” (Rolling Stone), is the Opry member’s 9^th No. 1 as a songwriter. “Hangin’ On” is also Young’s fifth consecutive No. 1, topping a list that includes the three-week No. 1 and 2x platinum certified “I’m Comin’ Over,” the ACM, CMA, Grammy and RDMA nominated, platinum single “Think Of You” withCassadee Pope, the BBMA nominated Gold single “Sober Saturday Night” featuring Vince Gill, and platinum certified and title of his sold-out arena headlining tour, “Losing Sleep.”

“Making music is all I’ve ever wanted to do, so to be celebrating my 11^th #1 really is a dream come true,” said Young.

RCA Records Nashville new duo Seaforth have released an acoustic video for their new song “Magic.” Watch it here.

The duo’s Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson co-wrote the tender ballad with Derrick Southerland. The track gives a first-look at their debut project, which they are actively recording with producer Dann Huff.

Wednesday night (11/7), Seaforth wowed a sold-out crowd while opening for Kane Brown at the Budweiser One Night Only concert series at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. They’re also slated as one of the performances at the 2018 SESAC Nashville Music Awards on Sunday (11/11).

Years before their hook-heavy music brought them halfway across the world, Jordan and Thompson grew up in the same Sydney, AUS suburb. They were childhood friends, crossing paths for the first time as three-year-olds and sharing a number of experiences, from soccer games to high-school classes, during the years that followed.

Named for that same Sydney suburb, Seaforth spent years traveling between Australia and the U.S. honing their craft and genre-jumping songwriting chops, to cultivate a sound that emphasizes their elastic voices and layered harmonies. The result is a quickly growing catalog of original songs that mix melodic punch and modern organic production with the storytelling elements of classic country.

Music fans can pre-order now the highly anticipated Dumplin’ Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and instantly receive Dolly Parton’s “Girl In The Movies” and her previously-released collaboration with Sia, “Here I Am.” The soundtrack, which features Parton on every song, releases Nov. 30, and “Dumplin’” will premiere in select theaters and on Netflix on Dec. 7.

In addition to retail pre-orders, fans will have access to limited edition Dumplin’ Original Motion Picture Soundtrack merchandise bundle offerings. FromThe Girl In The Movies Tiara to t-shirts and coffee mugs, plus a limited run of Dolly autographed album covers, fans can explore the full D2C storehere.

With career streams approaching 100 million worldwide, fans are hungry for music by RCA Records Nashville singer/songwriterRyan Hurd.

And Hurd delivers in 2019, with four, full-band performances at some of the country’s most respected music rooms. Hand-picked by Hurd, the clubs set the right feel for Hurd’s trademark powerful lyrics and melodies woven around real-world emotions.

“These are my first American shows in over a year and they are in four of my favorite markets; and in absolutely iconic venues,” said Hurd. “We’ve built a lot of momentum this season with the release of ‘Diamonds or Twine’ and ‘To A T,’ it’s exciting to get to share all of it live with our fans.”

Concert dates, which include special guest Ryan Beaver, include the Troubadour in Los Angeles (Jan. 17), the Bowery Ballroom in New York City (Jan. 25), Joe’s on Weed St. in Chicago (Feb. 23), and the Exit/In in Nashville (Feb. 28). Purchase tickets HERE.

The performances follow the success of Hurd’s latest single, “To A T,” which has caught the attention of entertainment tastemakers including men’s lifestyle playbook, Esquire. Accolades include Wide Open Country, which called the song “a gorgeous ode to intimacy and quiet moments spent with a soulmate,” Cowboys & Indians which wrote, “swoon-worthy lyrics,” and The Boot, which opined that “To A T” “oozes romance, love and the intimacy that comes from truly knowing a partner.”

Those aren’t the only media gatekeepers paying attention to the rough-cut romantic. Hurd was named an “Artist To Watch” by VEVO, Pandora, CMT, Huffington Post and Rolling Stone Country, which lauded him for “generating major buzz” and “making waves online.”

The praise is earned. The native of Kalamazoo MI is one of Nashville’s most multi-dimensional young songwriters. He has had co-pen credits on some of the format’s biggest hits including “Lonely Tonight” (Blake Shelton), “You Look Good” (Lady Antebellum), and “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” (Luke Bryan).

Now with the release of his own music, fans are discovering the fuel that drives Hurd is often love with all its avatars. Inspiration is in close proximity. In March, Hurd released “Diamonds Or Twine” as a present for his then soon-to-be wife Maren Morris after secretly recording the track with his long-time producer Aaron Essuis.

Hurd has been on the road with Thomas Rhett, Morris, and Florida Georgia Line. For more on Ryan Hurd and to catch him on tour, visit RyanHurd.com.

Leading up to the Friday, November 9 release of his much-anticipated new album, Experiment, three-time American Music award winner Kane Brown heads to New York City for a series of national media hits starting with his debut appearance on “LIVE with Kelly & Ryan” on Tuesday, November 6.

The exclusive performance and intimate Q&A hosted by Amy Brown will stream on iHeartCountry’s Official YouTube Channel at 7:00 pm Eastern Time.

Additionally, the 25-year old singer-songwriter will take the stage for his first-ever sold-out headlining performance as part of the Budweiser One Night Only Concert Series at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden on November 7.

Spotlighted as the cover story in the November 3 issue of Billboard Magazine available now, Brown will be making additional soon-to-be-announced appearances during his Experiment album launch week, including a live stream of Brown’s iHeart Theater show scheduled to take place November 6. As previously announced, Brown will also perform on Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Brown’s forthcoming Experiment is the follow-up to his multi-week chart-topping Platinum-certified RCA Nashville/Zone 4 debut album.

Kane Brown was recently awarded three 2018 American Music Awards for Favorite Male Artist – Country, Favorite Album – Country for his Platinum-certified multi-week #1 self-titled debut release, and Favorite Song – Country for the Double-Platinum multi-week #1 smash “Heaven.” He made history as the country star with the most award wins in one night for a first time nominee, and was the most-nominated artist in this year’s AMA Country categories.

Sony Music Nashville has signed Seaforth (Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson) to imprint RCA Records Nashville, with the duo slated to open for new label mate Kane Brown at the Budweiser One Night Only concert series Wednesday (11/7) at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden.

“Nashville is the international home for the sound we’re making,” said Jordan. “From the day we wrote our first song together — a song that was organic and guitar-based, but also very modern in its approach — we knew we needed to be here. It’s a dream come true.”

“We both complement each other in this band,” said Thompson. “We have the kind of partnership where we both have our own personas, and we meet in the middle. The ship wouldn’t sail without both of us.”

Years before their hook-heavy music brought them halfway across the world, Jordan and Thompson grew up in the same Sydney, AUS suburb. They were childhood friends, crossing paths for the first time as three-year-olds and sharing a number of experiences, from soccer games to high-school classes, during the years that followed.

Named for that same Sydney suburb, Seaforth spent years traveling between Australia and the U.S. honing their craft and genre-jumping songwriting chops, to cultivate a sound that emphasizes their elastic voices and layered harmonies.
