Chris and Morgane Stapleton, Old Crow Medicine Show, 3 Doors Down, Bailey Zimmerman, Shelly West and Ben Chase are participating in this year’s Christmas 4 Kids 2024 Tour Bus Show on Dec. 16 at its new location at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

Nancy Jones, widow of George Jones, will also meet fans at this year’s event, which will feature over 50 entertainers onsite. The event provides fans with a behind-the-scenes look into an artist’s home away from home, and fans can speak one-on-one, take photos and receive autographs with any of the participating celebrities. In celebration of its 100th anniversary, Prevost will also be providing a replica of its original tour bus, which will be available for onsite interior touring.

Admission to the event is $5.00 for adults, $2.00 for children ages 2-12 and $20 for a family pass. Admission for children under two is free. Tickets may be purchased on-site the day of the event. All proceeds from the nonprofit’s tour bus show and annual benefit concert at the Ryman go towards giving hundreds of underprivileged children a better Christmas.

On Dec. 17, over 400 children from 30 different elementary schools around Middle Tennessee will participate in a day-long shopping excursion on a chauffeured trip from their school aboard an entertainer’s luxury tour bus with dinner and a party hosted by Santa. To wrap up the day, the tour buses journey to Walmart, where the kids receive a brand new winter coat and $175 to spend on anything they like.

Rising singer-songwriter Vincent Mason has sold out his debut headline run, the “Hell Is A Dance Floor Tour,” which will visit South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Illinois, Ohio, Texas and his home state of Georgia next year.

The majority of the journey’s eight dates completely sold out during the presale, with the remaining selling out within the first hour of general sales.

“I’ve been wanting to play headline shows ever since I started writing songs,” Mason shares. “I’m so grateful and excited to get the chance to play shows for the people who have supported my music and made it all possible!”

Additionally, the Interscope Records/UMG Nashville/Music Soup artist recently released his single “Speak of the Devil” and Gavin Adcock collaboration “Almost Gone.” He also plans to join Riley Green on select dates of his “Damn Country Music Tour.”

CAA has signed singer-songwriter Elizabeth Nichols.

The 22-year-old Texas native seeks to captivate listeners with relatable, raw storytelling that explores everything from small-town life to current cultural trends.

After spending many of her formative years in Kentucky and Oklahoma, Nichols is now based in Nashville, where she is working currently on her debut album. Her demos caught the attention of Sam Barber, who brought her in to help write “Morning Time.”

Nichols released her debut single, “I Got A New One,” on Friday (Dec. 6), which has amassed more than 50 millions views across social media platforms and over half a million streams.

She is managed by Dylan Bourne at Bourne Creatives.

Shenandoah has surged to the top of the iTunes All Genres and Country Charts with the band’s reimagined version of “Sunday in the South” (8 Track Entertainment), featuring Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. The track claimed the No. 1 spot last week, following the release of a new video that amassed over eight million views across social media in just 48 hours. The video also became the No. 9 trending music video on YouTube.

“This all comes as a stunning and pleasant surprise,” says Shenandoah frontman Marty Raybon. “We couldn’t have done this without Jason and Luke and we are eternally grateful for their willingness and friendship.”

The release of the video sparked renewed interest in some older Shenandoah tracks, and 30 years after its release, Shenandoah Super Hits landed atop the iTunes Country Albums Chart, marking the group’s first No. 1 album in its 40-year career. Additionally, the original version of “Sunday in the South” (released 35 years ago) hit No. 5 on the iTunes Country Chart and No. 15 on the All Genres Chart. The chart action marks the first time Shenandoah has ever landed two songs in the top 5 of any chart at one time.

“The Fame family couldn’t be more excited for Shenandoah’s recent return to the top of the charts,” says Rodney Hall, President of Fame Studios. “I know my Dad [the late Rick Hall] is smiling down watching his favorite country voice hit the top of the charts again with his favorite country song he ever produced, ‘Sunday in the South.'”

Additional Shenandoah songs landing on the iTunes Country Chart following the release of the video include “Two Dozen Roses,” “Next to You, Next to Me,” “Church on Cumberland Road” and several more.

“Sunday in the South,” with Aldean and Bryan follows Shenandoah’s new version of their hit “Two Dozen Roses” with Luke Combs which reached No. 1 on the All Genre iTunes chart, No. 1 on the Country iTunes chart and amassed over 20 million global streams.
