BrettEldredge earns the most adds at country radio this week, pulling 85 new stations on his latest single, “Songs About You.” The single debuted on the Billboard Country Airplay at No. 38, on Mediabase at No. 46, and on MusicRow at No. 76.
“Songs About You,” which namechecks lines from tunes such as Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark,” Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” and Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl,” was written by Eldredge, Jessie Jo Dillion, and Ben West. It is the title track to his upcoming June 17 release.
“There are songs that just transport you back in time to a moment with someone you love,” Eldredge shares. “Even though you’ve not been with the person for a long time, these songs take ahold of you. You might be having a fine day, then you walk into a store where the song is playing, and you’re transported into the past.”
Luke Bryan will headline his thirteenth “Farm Tour” this September during a two-week break from his “Raised Up Right Tour,” which launches in June. Riley Green, Jameson Rodgers, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock are special guests on the shows.
The Georgia native will set up stages in the fields of local farmers across six states from Sept. 15-24, and two of the farms have never been played before. Tickets are on sale May 5 at LukeBryan.com.
“I look forward to these shows every year mainly because of the meaning behind them and why it was important to me to start the ‘Farm Tour’ thirteen years ago,” Bryan explains. “It has allowed communities who don’t normally get a concert in their areas to experience a fun night in their backyard all while lifting up the American farmer. Small town and farming pretty much sum up my childhood. It is my way of life and I know it is a way of life for so many. It is truly the highlight of my year for me and my whole team.”
Bayer is once again the presenting sponsor for the shows, teaming up with Bryan to fight hunger through its #HerestotheFarmer campaign. From June 1-Oct. 31, for every share Bayer will provide one meal to a person in need through Feeding America with the goal of helping to provide 1 million meals. Since the partnership’s inception, nearly five million meals have been donated and more than $180,000 has gone to Feeding America member food banks and local farmers at each of the tour cities.
Over 100,000 fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. Bryan will continue giving back to the farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. To date, more than 60 scholarships have been granted.

Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Miranda Lambert celebrated the release of her eighth solo album Palomino on Thursday night (April 28) at the FirstBank Amphitheater near Nashville.
After battling the traffic the venue has become known for, The Cadillac Three kicked off the music for the evening. The rocking country trio set the tone for a night full of fun, playing some songs from the two records they released during the pandemic, Country Fuzz and Tabasco & Sweet Tea.
The Nashville natives slowed the tempo down on a lot of their tunes, creating a swampy feel. Before turning things over to Lambert, TC3 played their beloved “White Lighting” and “The South.”
When Lambert made it to the stage, she picked up the hell-raising vibe TC3 put down with a new tune from Palomino, “Actin’ Up.” The up-to-no-good smash quickly segued into her 2005 hit “Kerosene.”
Throughout the night, Lambert kept up a timely pace, weaving in new songs with her collection of hits. Although she was clearly on a mission to play as many crowd-pleasers as possible, she was having a ball all night. Her fans, some playing off of Lambert’s cool cowgirl aesthetic, donned their best denim, rhinestones and fringe for the occasion.
Audience members threw their hands up and danced to “Fastest Girl In Town,” “Famous In A Small Town,” and “Only Prettier.” They closed their eyes and swayed to “Vice,” “Automatic,” and “The House That Built Me.” They sang their hearts out to “Bluebird” and “Settling Down.”
For the new songs Lambert played, the crowd already knew all the words to “Strange” and “If I Was A Cowboy.” The entertainer glowed with excitement to the crowd singing back the new lyrics.

The most powerful moment of the night came when Lambert slowed things down. Before playing an acoustic song, she admitted that she was nervous for the show and had put a lot of thought into what she wanted to play.
“Thank y’all so much for coming out tonight to the first weekend of the tour,” Lambert said. “I was thinking about the set tonight and I know I’m throwing a couple new ones at y’all. Thanks for singing along to the new ones.
“I was thinking about some songs that meant the world to me in times in my life that I really needed them. I started thinking about what I wanted to play tonight and I always go back to this one because I’m a sucker for a sad song.”
Lambert showed off of magnificence when she played “Tin Man.” Alone in the spotlight, her exquisite country voice echoed off the rough exposed edges of rock in the rock quarry-turned concert venue. The crowd was quiet, taking in every note, some even weeping.
In another awesome moment, Lambert brought out her best friend and co-writer, Ashley Monroe, to sing their song “Heart Like Mine.” TC3’s Jaren Johnston then joined the women on stage to sing “Willin’.”
“Y’all wanna hear a real country song?” Lambert asked at one point, before playing an awesome rendition of “Tequila Does.” The rhinestone fringe gals loved this one, too.
Before saying goodnight, Lambert blitzed us with “Gunpowder and Lead,” “Mama’s Broken Heart,” “White Liar,” “Little Red Wagon” and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home).” With a smile on her face and a 22-song setlist completed, she left the hometown crowd thoroughly entertained.
Little Big Town will join Lambert and TC3 for “The Bandwagon Tour” next week. For dates, click here.

Previously announced performers include Michael Ray, Wade Hayes, Ty Herndon, Lee Greenwood, Ricochet, Craig Campbell, Rhett Akins, and more. General admission tickets are currently available for purchase.

This night is going to be really fun as we sing our hits of the 90s and help raise money for Law Enforcement Assistance Partnership.”

Earlier this week, Tyler Rich led a sold out round called “Writers For Rhinos” alongside Andy Albert, CJ Solar, and AIMP Nashville Songwriter Series class of 2019 member Emily Falvey and Trent Tomlinson.
The annual event at The Listening Room in Nashville supports rhino conservation in partnership with the Nashville Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers, Rich Rescues and Nashville Zoo Roar Corps.
“Now in our third year, we could not be more thrilled to have such a talented group of musicians lend their voices to help save an endangered species. ‘Writers For Rhinos’ is such an important fundraising event for our mission to protect Rhinos for generations to come, and we want to express our sincere gratitude to Tyler, Andy, CJ, Emily, Trent and all who joined for this special event,” says Ashley Collier-Medley, Writers For Rhinos Founder.
“I’ve never tried to save a Rhino, but I’m happy to be a part of it. They are kind of like Pitbull unicorns,” Rich quipped. “In all seriousness, the need to protect animals whether it be at your local shelter or more exotic species across the globe is real and a big reason I started Rich Rescues to advocate out on tour. Any time I can support this cause, I’m all in.”

On a hot and sunny Wednesday afternoon (April 27), the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) gathered hundreds of songwriters, publishers, and industry friends to celebrate the songs that hit the top of the charts during the pandemic.
Along with event sponsors Truist Wealth and Ford, NSAI packed out the The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing Co. for an event they billed as the “World’s Largest No. 1 Party.”
NSAI Executive Director Bart Herbison kicked off the celebration by letting the crowd know how hard the organization works for the benefit of songwriters.

“When we shut the doors for COVID in March of 2020, we did what we do,” Herbison said, saying that NSAI immediately got to work on how to protect songwriters’ livelihoods from the impact of the pandemic. “In that first week when we were closed, we offered some language that got put in the first CARES Act that made every self-employed person in America, including songwriters, eligible for unemployment and paycheck protection.”
The crowd roared after hearing that. “We also handed out a quarter of a million dollars of grants during that time. I’m proud of the work we do,” Herbison shared.
Before celebrating the hits of the past two years, NSAI honored a true Music Row trailblazer, Jody Williams, with NSAI Champion award. This honor is given in recognition of generous support for—and dedication to—songwriters, the music industry and NSAI, and is chosen by the NSAI Executive Director.
Williams shared a few words to the room full of creatives and industry personnel. He thanked his family, his team at Jody Williams Songs, and his writers; and recognized four important people in his journey: Charlie Daniels, Kix Brooks, Layng Martine, and Liz Rose.
Williams recalled an observation he made a few years ago on a plane ride to Austin, Texas he shared with some hit songwriters, Rose, Jon Randall, and Lee Thomas Miller. He observed that although his friends had written award-winning hit songs, no one else on the plane knew who they were.
“They’re all blending in with humanity on the plane. They’re quiet, they’re reading or sleeping. No one knows they are here. They’re exactly like you and me, but they’re actually magicians. They have superpowers. They have abilities to transcend logical thinking,” Williams shared. “Like you and me, they’re insecure, doubtful at times, hopeful most of the time, hardworking, family-oriented people. When they wake up most mornings to approach their jobs, they have nothing.

“That’s when these Peter Parkers become Spider-Man,” he said. “They create a song that starts out having zero chance of making it through the myriad of gatekeepers to become a hit. Then against all odds, unbelievably, their hope becomes a hit.”
Williams summed with, “After a few decades of working with songwriters, I’m still in complete awe when I am in the presence of you all. Complete awe. I can’t receive this award without offering my thanks to all of you. You are all heroes to me.”
Herbison shared of Williams, “Jody Williams has spent his professional career in the music industry helping songwriters and others. I am one such individual, in my twenty-five years as NSAI Executive Director enlisting Jody’s help dozens of times. He’s always responded and his word is as good as gold.”
After presenting Williams with his award, Herbison read off a list of 99 songs that hit No. 1 on the Billboard Airplay, Digital, Hot or Mediabase charts during the period of September 2019 through December 2021. The songwriters in attendance hustled up to the stage with their peers cheering them on, took a quick photo, and joined their friends back in the crowd, perfectly exemplifying the strength and camaraderie in the Nashville music publishing community.

Brandi Carlile will no longer be performing at the 2022 Stagecoach Festival after contracting COVID-19, as she revealed on social media.
“Hey buddies, it finally happened: I have the COVID. I won’t be able to come to Stagecoach,” the Grammy-award winning entertainer shared. “It’s horrible.”
In her video, Carlile also shared her symptoms, explaining that she is suffering from a chest infection due to the virus. “I’m a few days in, and I have a chest infection, but I think I turned a corner today and I’m starting to feel a little bit better,” she adds. “I just want to let everybody know that I’m devastated to be missing you, and I hope that you have a wonderful time out there with all my freakin’ friends. See you on the other side of this trash.”
Carlile was slated to headline the festival’s Palomino Stage on Friday (April 29). However, in light of these events, Tanya Tucker will now be taking over Carlile’s 7:40 performance slot. Amythyst Kiah, The Cactus Blossoms, Charley Crockett, Neal McCoy and the Marcus King Band will perform on the Palomino Stage earlier in the day.
Taking place this weekend in Indio, California, the T-Mobile Mane Stage will deliver a packed opening day with performances from Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Jordan Davis, Ryan Hurd and more. Carrie Underwood, Brothers Osborne, Luke Combs and Cody Johnson will also be on hand for the weekend’s festivities.
