Miranda Lambert has officially opened her lower broadway restaurant and bar Casa Rosa, making her the first female country artist with a bar on broadway in Nashville. Lambert collaborated with her long-time personal designer, Phara Queen, and TC Restaurant Group (TCRG) on the project, which offers a distinctive blend of Tex-Mex cantina with a feminine flare.
The venue showcases seminal pieces of the country superstar’s wardrobe, tour memorabilia, and special vintage items personally collected by Lambert on her travels. Artist and sculptor for TCRG, Tim “Tiny” Parker crafted one-of-a-kind pieces for the Lambert-inspired venue, including a 12-foot tall Saguaro cactus, a dazzling mirrored saddle that spins overhead with “MIRANDA” branded along the back what was inspired by the iconic piece at Billy Bob’s in Ft. Worth, and an all-things Miranda 30-foot long mural that includes her horses, Airstream, red Chevrolet, album titles and more over a landscape of Marfa, Texas.
Casa Rosa reflects Miranda’s unapologetic, boldly feminine presence, eclectic tastes and love of Tex-Mex cooking. TC Restaurant Group, with more than 40 years in the hospitality industry, has designed spaces for Sun Records, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and more.

PLA Media has added Buckstein to its artist roster as he prepares to release new music and embark on a summer tour across the Rocky Mountain West.
Buckstein made his national debut as a contestant on the fifth season of American Idol. Since then, he has built a grassroots following with his band The Heard opening up for Charlie Daniels, Kane Brown, Kip Moore, Dustin Lynch, Old Dominion, Eli Young Band, Midland, Mark Chesnutt, Clay Walker, Aaron Watson, Vanilla Ice and more. The Colorado native will be unveiling a project with tracks spotlighting his emotive baritone ballads, new-grass rooted lanes of country and the leading contemporary sounds. Fans can expect the lead single release from his EP in early June with the full EP slated for a July release.
“When Buckstein’s management team brought the new project to our office, we were blown away,” says PLA Media Executive Director Mark Logsdon. “His baritone voice soars across this EP and his passion for country music, inclusivity, community outreach and the love for his home state are boldly authentic and unique. We are elated to be a part of his team.”
Luke Bryan Heads Back To The Farm This Fall For Six Shows

Luke Bryan is bringing back his popular Farm Tour for the event’s 12th year since its inception in 2009. The 2021 Farm Tour will run through six farms this fall from Sept. 9-18.
The Georgia native will detour from his headlining tour as he and his team set up stages in the fields of local farmers across six states. Bryan will continue giving back to the farmers in those states by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending a local college or university near the tour stops. To date, more than 60 scholarships have been granted.
“I think I am more excited about this year’s Farm Tour than any other year,” Bryan shares. “Growing up in a farming family in rural Georgia I know how hard farming can be even on a good year, and how hard those families work–from sun-up to sundown. After the challenges we have all faced in the last year with so many people losing their jobs, struggling to put food on their tables, food supply chains jeopardized, grocery stores struggling to keep food on the shelves in some areas, it is so apparent to me, and I hope everyone, why our farmers are truly the backbone of our country. They never stopped providing for all of us. Ever. It’s time to thank our farmers, once again. It’s going to mean even more to me this year.”
Tickets for the 2021 Farm Tour will go on sale June 11 at 10 a.m. local time at lukebryan.com/FarmTour. Pre-sale tickets for Luke’s Fan Club and fan app are available beginning June 8 at lukebryan.com/all-
Farm Tour 2021 Dates:
9/9 – Marshall, WI – Statz Bros. Farm
9/10 – Cedar Rapids, IA – Brown Farms
9/11 – Chillicothe, IL – Three Sisters Park
9/16 – Kingman, IN – Martin Farms
9/17 – Baltimore, OH – Miller Family Farms

“Over the last year I’ve come to realize that I have taken for granted the ability to gather together as the church in worship,” he continues. “To not only worship outside amidst God’s creation but to do it alongside some of the most influential worship leaders in the church right now is something I am honored to be a part of. This is truly going to be a moment of impact and one we will never forget.”

Ray Fulcher Plans Opry Debut, New Music
/by Sarah SkatesFriday, June 25 will be a big day for hit songwriter and rising artist Ray Fulcher, who is set to release three new songs that day and make his debut on the Grand Ole Opry.
“I grew up on old country and watching YouTube videos of the Opry dreaming of one day standing there in the circle,” said Fulcher. “To have it actually happening is both surreal and the highest honor. In my opinion, there’s not a more special place in all of music.”
Fulcher teased his new music on Instagram earlier this week. The songs “Girl In It,” “Way Out” and “Bucket List Beers” will be his first tracks as an artist on Black River and are available to pre-save. He tapped talented songwriter Jonathan Singleton to produce the tracks, resulting in a Memphis-meets-’90s country sound.
Fulcher has 30-plus million artist streams and three billion streams as a songwriter, including the Luke Combs’ No. 1s ”When It Rains It Pours,” “Even Though I’m Leaving,” “Lovin’ on You” and “Does to Me.”
This fall, Fulcher will join Combs’ What You See Is What You Get tour and also support Ashley McBryde on select dates.
On June 23, Fulcher, Singleton, Devin Dawson, and Faren Rachels will perform at the Listening Room in Nashville for a charity show benefitting the Pretty Good Ball Fund in partnership with the Music Health Alliance.

Chart Action: Old Dominion, Dallas Remington
/by Alex ParryOld Dominion continues to top the most added list this week for “I Was On A Boat That Day.” The single adds 66 new stations for a total of 314 adds across the Billboard, Mediabase, and the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart, in two weeks. Band members Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Brad Tursi, Whit Sellers, and Geoff Sprung co-wrote the single alongside Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.
In just two weeks since its release, “Princess” by Dallas Remington debuts at No. 79 on the MusicRow Chart. This is her sixth single to country radio following “Uncommon Man” which peaked at No. 24 on MusicRow.
“Everyone knows a girl who thinks she is a princess, even though she is not. This song is about a girl just like that, a girl who wants to be something she is not instead of embracing the life she already has. “If there is anything I’d want my fans to take away from it is to love who you are, where you come from, and know that no matter what someone loves you for YOU,” Remington says of the song she co-penned with Bridgette Tatum and Nancy Deckant.
