Ashley Cooke is set to release her next project, ace, on Nov. 14 via Big Loud Records.

The nine-track project, named for Cooke’s childhood nickname given by her father, marks her first project since her 2023 debut, Shot In The Dark. 

Produced by Dann Huff, Cooke co-penned seven of the nine tracks alongside Emily Weisband, Johnny Clawson and Kyle Sturrock, among others. The project explores themes love, heartbreak and loss.

“It’s been about two and a half years since my debut record was released. So many incredible, bucket-list things filled the days after with the best people I could ever imagine getting to share them with,” Cooke shared during the announcement on her social media. “But life has a funny way of spitting rain when you think it’s gonna be a sunny day. I swear, one thing hit after another. I lost some of the most important people in my life, and health issues in my family piled up left and right. Love came, and love went. This music is derived from those real situations. It’s brutal honesty. It’s a story in chronological order. And it’s a collection of songs welcoming you to the next chapter.”

Earlier this month, Cooke’s “the hell you are” became the most added song at country radio. She released two versions of “tin foil hat” last week, with an official music video release for the “panic attack version.”

The ACM nominated artist kicked off the year with her headlining “Your Place Tour” before hitting the road with Kane Brown, Parker McCollum, Lee Brice and more throughout the rest of the year.

Ryan Waters Band and Kinkhead Entertainment Agency team

The Ryan Waters Band has signed with the Kinkead Entertainment Agency for booking representation.

Waters initially achieved success on TikTok after writing the streaming hit “Chevrolet You Down” which racked up over one million views and over nine million streams on Spotify alone. The momentum put Waters in Nashville, where he immersed himself in his craft and followed “Chevrolet You Down” with a string of singles, including 2021’s “Tomorrow’s Not Tonight” (which has over 10 million Spotify streams) and his cover of “Chasing Cars” in 2023 which has over seven million streams.

“Teaming up with one of Nashville’s best, Bob Kinkead, and his incredible crew marks a huge step forward in my career,” says Waters. “From our first conversation, it was clear that Bob and everyone at Kinkead understood my vision, drive, and where I’m headed. Their track record for helping artists grow the right way speaks volumes, and it’s an honor to have them in my corner on the booking front moving forward. I’m beyond grateful for their belief in what I’m doing and genuinely excited to see what we’ll build together.”

Drake Milligan will release his new album, Tumbleweed, on Nov. 7. In celebration of the announcement, he released a new track, “Old Flames, Old Whiskey.”

Adam Doleac is releasing his third studio album Dream House today (Oct. 17) via Stem.

The 12-track collection is rooted in faith, family and the idea that dreams are built with the people you love. The project includes “That Ol’ Jeep,” which pays homage to the companion that’s carried him through countless miles and milestones, “I Wanna Go” that channels that same adventurous spirit, while “All Moms Go To Heaven”and “Lookin’ Forward to Lookin’ Back” reflect the grateful heart of a son, husband and new father seeing life through fresh eyes.

Out today, “Big Day In Our Little World” anchors the album as a celebration of life’s milestones, and fans have already connected with previously-released songs including title track “Dream House,”  “Didn’t We,” “Playin’ Catch,” “Bar Named Jesus (ft. Thomas Rhett),” “Day One (ft. Madeline Merlo)” and “Bye Heart.”

“This album is called Dream House because for the first time in my life, I’m living in mine,” shares Doleac. “I wrote all of these songs from under the roof of it. I grew up thinking a dream house was just a house, but these songs are me realizing I was wrong. The dream isn’t about how big the house is, it’s about how big the love is inside the house. It’s about Family, and that’s exactly what this album is about.”

Doleac is currently on the road on his “Dream House Tour,” where he is playing intimate venues across the country through December.
