Hosted by Elaina Smith, this year, Kelsey Hart, Ella Langley, Chase Matthew, John Morgan, Meghan Patrick and Josh Ross graced the stage.

Matthew was the first artist to perform. He took the stage after a heartfelt video that highlighted his roots as a Nashville native, included appearances from his parents and thanked the radio executives in the room who helped him fall in love with music and rise to the top of the charts.
He kicked off his high-energy set with his first top five single at radio, “Love You Again.” He moved into his current single, “Holdin’ It Down,” before surprising the audience with Lauren Alaina for “All My Exes.” He finished his set with his first No. 1 track, “Darlin’.”

Hart followed, stepping onstage after a sizzle reel that played on the idea of “new faces,” tracing how his move from Kentucky into a town full of them and life on the road surrounded by them turned strangers into friends, fans and family.
He opened his set with “Put It On The Map,” setting the tone early. He kept the momentum going with “Fireworks” before closing things out with his viral hit “Life With You.”

Patrick’s intro video showed her band getting warmed up backstage, with appearances from her husband, fellow country artist Mitchell Tenpenny.
The room lit up with synchronized LED wristbands as she took the stage, kicking things off with a dynamic medley of Led Zeppelin covers. The room lit up golden as Patrick moved into her breakout track “Golden Child.” She ended her performance with a nod to Tenpenny as she introduced “Safe Place To Break.”

Morgan brought a touch of humor with a playful intro video featuring frequent collaborator Jason Aldean as his “Uber driver,” leaning into the joke with a quick cameo that had the room laughing.
He made his way to the stage with “Way Out Would” and “One More Sunset.” He shared his current single, “Kid Myself,” before ending his performance with his first chart-topper, “Friends Like That.”

She ended the night with a crowd sing-along of the newly minted No. 1 track, “Choosin’ Texas.”
Following her set, Langley shared a parody of her recently viral “Be Her” music video featuring appearances from various industry personalities and executives.

The Grand Ole Opry held a special show at Carnegie Hall on Friday night as part of Carnegie Hall’s “United in Sound: America at 250” festival, which celebrates the nation’s 250th anniversary and continues the Opry’s 100th year.
“An Evening with the Grand Ole Opry” featured performances by Opry members Kelsea Ballerini, Scotty McCreery, Rhonda Vincent and Henry Cho, along with special guests Wyatt Flores and The War and Treaty. The artists’ individual sets were bookended by a show opener featuring Vincent and McCreery taking turns on the classic “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” in the styles of Bill Monroe (Vincent) and Elvis Presley (McCreery) as well as an all-cast closing performance of the Opry’s unofficial theme “Will The Circle Be Unbroken.”
The show marked the Opry’s fourth headlining performance at Carnegie Hall. The Opry debuted there in 1947 under the billing “Ernest Tubb and the Grand Ole Opry Stars,” with a sold-out concert also featuring Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, Minnie Pearl, Red Foley, Eddy Arnold, and The Carter Sisters with Mother Maybelle Carter. A return performance in 1961 benefited the Musicians’ Aid Society and was headlined by Patsy Cline in her first and only Carnegie Hall appearance, among other all-stars. The Grand Ole Opry’s 2005 show – marking its 80th anniversary – featured Trace Adkins, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Ricky Skaggs, Trisha Yearwood, along with longtime Opry members Charley Pride, Little Jimmy Dickens, and Bill Anderson.
Throughout 2026, the Opry will continue to honor the past, showcase the present, and shape the future of country music through one-of-a-kind live shows including special themed shows observing the nation’s 250th birthday on April 23, May 28 and July 4.

Kyle Clark Proves Things Are ‘Better On A Boat’ On Latest LP, Due In May
/by Lorie HollabaughKyle Clark is gearing up for the release of his new album, Better On A Boat, due out May 22. In advance of the new project he released a new single, “Blame It On The Sun.”
“‘Blame It On The Sun’ came from a day when the weather was so perfect and there was no chance I was gonna get anything done,” says Clark. “I ended up down by the water, drink in hand, and next thing I know the whole day’s gone. All spent doing a whole lot of nothing but having fun. If anybody’s got a problem with it, it ain’t on me… it’s on the sun.”
Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and raised in Jefferson, Georgia, Clark’s signature coastal-country perspective guides the album’s sound. He wrote all 10 tracks on the project alongside Marc Beeson, Kat Higgins, Joybeth Taylor, Averie Bielski, Madison Kozak and more. The project was produced and mixed by Clark and mastered by Sam Moses.
“Better On A Boat represents the mindset and way of living I naturally gravitate toward,” Clark says of the new single. “It’s about life on the water, slowing things down, being present, and finding joy in the simple moments. The boat has always been a place where everything feels clear to me. Life’s just better.”
An established force in Nashville’s songwriting community, Clark recently co-wrote “Let Him In Anyway,” Blake Shelton’s current single. He previously earned his first Platinum certification with “Villain”
Better on a Boat Track List:
1. “Florida on My Mind” (Kyle Clark, James Slater)
2. “Life’s What You Make It” (Kyle Clark, Bobby Hamrick, Jeremy Bussey)
3. “Better on a Boat” (Kyle Clark, Marc Beeson, Kat Higgins)
4. “Houses on the Beach” (Kyle Clark)

Beloved Artist-Songwriter Ronnie Bowman Passes

Award-winning bluegrass artist and country songwriter Ronnie Bowman died Sunday (March 22) following a motorcycle accident. He was 64.
A native of Mount Airy, North Carolina, Bowman became one of bluegrass music’s most respected voices, earning widespread recognition both as a solo artist and as a longtime member of the Lonesome River Band. He joined the group in 1990 as a vocalist and bass player, remaining until 2001, and previously performed with The Lost and Found after joining that band in 1987.
Over the course of his career, Bowman received numerous honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association, including three Male Vocalist of the Year awards. His song “Three Rusty Nails” earned both Gospel Performance of the Year and Song of the Year, while “Cold Virginia Night” also took home Song of the Year honors.
Bowman launched his solo career with 1994’s Cold Virginia Night, an acclaimed project featuring Alison Krauss, Del McCoury and Tony Rice that won IBMA Album of the Year. He later released Starting Over (2003) and It’s Gettin’ Better All The Time (2006), further cementing his reputation as a leading artist in the genre.
In addition to his work as a performer, Bowman found major success as a country songwriter. He co-wrote Brooks & Dunn’s No. 1 hit “It’s Getting Better All the Time” with Don Cook, and Kenny Chesney’s chart-topping “Never Wanted Nothing More” with Chris Stapleton.
Bowman also contributed two songs to Stapleton’s multi-Platinum album Traveller, including “Nobody to Blame,” co-written with Stapleton and Barry Bales, which earned the ACM Award for Song of the Year. Continuing their collaboration, Stapleton’s 2025 single “It Takes A Woman,” co-written with Bowman, won the Grammy Award for Best Country Solo Performance.
His catalog was recorded by a wide range of artists, including Don Williams, Lee Ann Womack, Cody Johnson, Ralph Stanley, Jake Owen and Marcus King.
Born into a musical family, Bowman began singing gospel music at age three, performing in churches across North Carolina and Virginia alongside his four sisters.
In recent years, Bowman continued to record and perform, releasing a self-titled album and collaborating with the Band of Ruhks alongside fellow former Lonesome River Band members Don Rigsby and Kenny Smith. He also frequently performed with Dan Tyminski. In 2021, Bowman extended his publishing deal with Eclipse Music Group.
News of his death prompted an outpouring of tributes from across the bluegrass and country music communities.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
Bowman’s wife Garnet and their family shared the following statement: “Ronnie was beloved by so many in our music community, whom he loved so dearly… and we are beyond grateful for all of the love & outpouring toward us already. Right now, as we process, we just covet your prayers. We have no words at this time, but thank you and graciously request that you honor our privacy while we try to put our heads around this and grieve. What we know and hold onto, is that he is with his Savior Jesus in Heaven, although already terribly missed here on Earth.”

Troy Cartwright Releases New EP ‘Etc. All The Rest’

The title track closes the circle with a reflective tone.
“Etc. All The Rest is a phrase that came to me when I was writing that song. I was telling a story, but I didn’t know where to go, and then that line ‘well anyway, I love you babe, etc. all the rest’ came to me, and I thought that said it just about perfectly,” shares Cartwright. “It’s all the things we want to say but don’t have the words for.”
As a songwriter signed to Big Machine Publishing, Cartwright has written songs for Cody Johnson, Ryan Hurd, Lee Brice, Josh Abbott Band, and Nickelback. The singer-songwriter has garnered over 200 million streams to date, and has seen growth across his social media platforms, amassing over 700k+ followers.
