Luke Bryan Brightens Bridgestone While Battling Vocal Chord Congestion

Luke Bryan brightened Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Saturday night (Aug. 12), and notched his sixth sold-out show at the venue. This sell-out served as a stop on his “Country On Tour,” which runs through October. Due to vocal chord congestion, Bryan had cancelled the three shows prior. Though he was still under the weather, the award-winning entertainer was determined to bring smiles and a truck load of songs to Bridgestone.

Prior to his performance, Bryan was honored with the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award for his standing as one of the most streamed artists in the company’s 20-year history. SoundExchange President & CEO Michael Huppe was on hand to present the accolade. Bryan also received RIAA multi-Platinum and Gold plaques for his first No. 1, four-time Platinum “Do I,” as well as Gold-certified single “Country On” and his Gold album Born Here Live Here Die Here, along with five of its tracks: Gold-certified “Waves,” Platinum-certified “What She Wants Tonight,” triple-Platinum “Knockin’ Boots,” double-Platinum “One Margarita” and Platinum-certified “Down To One.” During the presentations, Bryan thanked all of his team members, and praised his openers and other up-and-comers.

The night’s first opener Ashley Cooke hopped on stage to kick off the concert with her band, instantly raising the energy level as crescent moon-shaped lights floated beneath her feet. Casually chic in a blue corset crop top and matching cargo pants, she effortlessly captivated the crowd with her comforting presence and soothing vocals. Heads couldn’t help but bop and toes couldn’t resist tapping as she bounced around, serenading us with “Getting Into” and “Moving On With Grace” from her recently released debut album, Shot in the Dark.

Things started to heat up when fellowing rising star and opener Jackson Dean joined Cooke for their steamy duet “What Are You On Fire About,” which is also featured on the 24-track collection. Fans were treated to another special appearance when Chase Rice popped out to surprise Cooke during her cover of Florida Georgia Line‘s hit “Cruise,” which Rice co-wrote.

A spotlight shined down on the singer-songwriter and her acoustic guitar as she sang “Never Til Now,” which she recorded with Brett Young. Small specks of light were suddenly sprinkled throughout the stands as the audience lifted their flashlights, creating a starry scene. The star-like spots waved to the rhythm of Cooke, who beamed with gratitude as she performed—a moment of pure musical magic.

Red ribbon-esque graphics covered the two screens on stage with the name Chayce Beckham etched in white as warmed-colored rays radiated every which way. The American Idol winner then made his way to the microphone. With a chocolate brown acoustic guitar at his finger tips, he had concertgoers swaying with “Doin’ It Right” and “Keep Me Up All Night.” Beckham conducted a quick vibe-check with the crowd before performing his new number “Little Less Lonely,” which is due out Friday, Aug. 25. He dedicated the performance of his latest single, “Till The Day I Die,” to a friend who passed away last year.

“This is a song about staying true to who you are and not letting anybody tell you anything different. I hope y’all like this one. It’s the one we just released. I’d like to put a big cheers up to anybody who has lost someone recently,” said Beckham.

Flashlights filled the air as he poured his heart into the tune. Beckham then moved into a cover of Jason Isbell‘s “Cover Me Up,” sharing that he had wanted to perform the song on American Idol but never got the chance. He wrapped his set with “23,” a song that he says changed his life, and thanked everyone for their presence and support.

Dean returned to put the arena in a trance with his strong, hazy sound. The free spirit and his band seemed to scratch every musical itch in the audience as they put their skills on full display with “Heavens To Betsy” and “Fearless.” Dean, known to customize his guitars through wood burning, switched out his acoustic guitar embedded with stars for one with two detailed turkey-like feathers. While the transition was made, he continued the streak of sincere thank you’s. The outlaw country creator then ended with what he deemed his life-changing song, his first No. 1 “Don’t Come Lookin’.”

A blend of fiery colors outlined the stage and blue beams of light circulated around Bridgestone as the beginning of Bryan’s “Kick The Dust Up” filled the venue. Suddenly, the man of the hour simultaneously appeared underneath a giant spotlight as the black curtains behind him instantly vanished.

Pink and purple hues took over on stage and green rays projected into every section as he performed “Knockin’ Boots.” Bryan, dressed in jeans, a simple black T-shirt and black ball cap, then checked in with the crowd and explained his condition.

“As y’all know, last weekend I had to cancel three shows, but I was not going to cancel Nashville under any circumstance,” he stated. “I’m going to sound good on some songs and I’m going to sound like shit on some songs, but we’re going to have a good time in Music City on a Saturday night either way.”

He jumped into “Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye,” receiving encouraging cheers from the crowd. He then grabbed his guitar and addressed us all again.

“There’s no telling what the hell we may do in this show tonight. We’re going to just turn this into a big ole Nashville Honky Tonk Party, alright?”

The red lights recurred as Bryan fought through “What Makes You Country.” Thin orange lines of light traced the shining rectangles spaced vertically on either side of the platform as he slid into one of his recent releases, “But I Got A Beer In My Hand.”

Shouts of “You got this, Luke!” rang from attendees when he started to prep for “Huntin’, Fishin’, And Lovin’ Everyday.” Images of trees tinged in a red and green gradient emerged behind the artist as he sang. Bryan’s guitar player threw his pick into the crowd and his banjo player showed off his skills and a Nashville Predators jersey, while Bryan moved back from the middle surface for a moment.

Blue and red beams turned yellow and orange as he dove into “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset.” Bryan then performed the tour’s namesake as soldiers, farmers and more hard-working Americans appeared above his head, the flag waving behind them. As he pushed to finish the song, audience members sang along and chanted “USA.”

Bryan thanked everyone for their energy and asked if we could turn the night into an acoustic jam session. The arena responded with cheers as he began discuss his early days in Music City.

“When I moved to town I started writing songs, and I got lucky and wrote a song that a guy named Billy Currington recorded. It’s one of my most favorite songs I’ve ever written. I still hear it all the time.”

He brought his band up to the middle platform, drawing everyone closer, and kicked off the session with the Currington classic, “Good Directions.” Bryan couldn’t hide that he was hurting, but persevered through “Down To One” and “Strip It Down” under purple streams of light. The crowd gave him a break during “Crash My Party,” as he lent us the mic for most of the chorus.

Blue lights remained shining and multi-colored dots swirled as he welcomed Beckham and Dean back to the stage. The two emerged in Predators jerseys and joined Bryan for “Buy Dirt.” Cooke also returned in a jersey to accompany him on Dua Lipa‘s “Levitating” and Dolly Parton‘s “9 to 5.”

Bryan then took to the piano to perform fellow American Idol judge Lionel Richie‘s “Endless Love” along with his own “Do I” and Ronnie Milsap‘s “(There’s) No Gettin’ Over Me.” He went back to his guitar and the cell phone stars filled the arena once again for “Drink A Beer.”

“I’m going to do this next song and after that we’re going to party our asses off for about 40 minutes,” Bryan said while starting to strum.

He then started the party with a little of Aerosmith‘s “Sweet Emotion.” Next, Bryan declared it “Margarita Time,” handing a lucky fan below a giant margarita as he battled to belt “One Margarita.” The crowd erupted in excited screams as he transitioned to “Rain Is A Good Thing,” a thunderstorm rolling in on screen behind him. The electric screams continued for “I Don’t Want This Night To End.”

Bryan worked to finish strong with “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” and further proved his dedication as he performed “Play It Again” as a supposed encore. He thanked the audience again as he exited. Bryan was forced to cancel his show the following night (Aug. 13) in Brandon, Mississippi, and apologized to fans via social media.

“Every show I sing I’m setting my voice back. I will continue to do everything I can to get better. Please know how much you mean to me and how heartbreaking this is to do,” he wrote.

The Band CAMINO Lights Up ‘The Dark’ With Secret Album Preview Show

/by

Last week, fans of The Band CAMINO eagerly lined the block outside Nashville’s Electric Jane for an exclusive album preview show. The Nashville-based pop band’s sophomore album The Dark released on Friday (Aug. 11). They invited fans and industry insiders to celebrate its release a few days early with a listening party. 

The Band CAMINO’s Jeffery Jordan, Spencer Stewart and Garrison Burgess took the small stage following an intimate happy hour to share seven tracks from The Dark.  “The Dark summarizes a lot of the experiences we’ve gone through,” notes Jordan. “There’s always going to be dark and light. Even though a lot of our songs are sad as f***, we get those feelings out through music—which is ultimately positive.”

Jordan welcomed fans and friends into the evening, saying, “We’ve been writing on this album for a long time but we haven’t really done many things like this where we, in the spur of the moment, book a little room and get to share a good night of music with our hometown.” 

“There’s a lot of familiar faces in the crowd, a lot of beautiful humans who have been at a lot of shows; and a lot of friends, collaborators and co-workers who have helped us make this album and make our dreams come true. So, obviously the three of us on stage work really hard and love what we do, but we’re kind of nothing without this city and this room full of people. So thank you for being here.”

“Afraid of the Dark,” co-written by Burgess, Stewart, Dan Smyers and Geoff Warburton, was the evening’s first song, hailed as the album’s title track. “It was the first song that we wrote that ended up being on the album. It gave life to the whole world—the album, the tour, and the rest of the songs that we wrote,” Jordan explained.

Fans fell instantly in love with the groovy recording playing over the speakers, singing and dancing along to the chorus previously teased on social media and quickly catching on to the rest. 

For the next track, Jordan recalls how they almost forgot “Save My Life” amongst the many songs written for the album over the past two years. Stewart penned the track with Warburton, Seth Ennis and longtime collaborator and producer of The Dark, Jordan Schmidt. Spencer admitted he accidentally forgot about it until The Band CAMINO was already in the studio cutting vocals. 

This song features a choral-esque arrangement, not unlike the pop stylings of One Direction, with lofty vocals fit for a cathedral. The fans matched the song’s high energy as they danced, before the evening took a more introspective turn.

“Three Month Hangover” is a song by The Band CAMINO’s three with Andrew Goldstein and Schmidt. The band’s Jordan pulled inspiration for the hazy pop punk track from his heartbreak-induced fog after a relationship.

“I had the idea for a while—a song about trying to get over someone—but I was living it. I couldn’t really write something about it for a while. It took like three months to write about it. This is what came out of it,” he said.

The Band CAMINO detoured from their usual self-deprecating approach with the next song, “It’s You.”

“We’re very introspective people. We talk a lot in our songs about the things that we do wrong, things that we should’ve changed and all that stuff, so this is a bit of a departure from that,” Spencer explained. “We, for once and for the first time, have decided that maybe it might not be our [fault].”

This one struck a chord with fans as The Band CAMINO moved to play their next track, “Let It Happen,” which they tout as self-explanatory.  They followed with “Same Page,” co-written with Ennis.

“Fun fact about Mr. Seth Ennis,” said Jordan by way of introduction, “ is he has written a f*** ton of Band CAMINO songs with us. We moved to Nashville in 2018 and we met Seth. Our first time ever co-writing was with Seth and we wrote ‘Daphne Blue.’”

The heavy-hitting guitar track quickly became a crowd favorite and still remains one of their highest streaming songs.

As they played the arena-ready “Same Page,” the whole crowd jammed out, already excited to hear the song live on the band’s upcoming “Screaming In The Dark Tour.” The last song of their first set, “Novocaine,” is a surefire favorite among the fans as it was requested several times throughout the night.

After a quick intermission, The Band CAMINO took the stage for a fan-driven acoustic set. With two guitars and a stripped-down drum kit, they kicked off with “Never A Good Time,” their collaboration NOTD from 2022 with the voices of fans offering full support on every word. They then rocked out with the second single from the album, “What Am I Missing,” co-written with Ennis and Alysa Vanderheym.

The audience was intensely focused as the band played hits from earlier albums and projects. Their track “Berenstein” from 2017 was met with some of the loudest cheers of the night. Discerning through the screams of fans to hear requests, they picked “Know It All” from their self-titled debut album to perform, adding playfully sung ad libs in place of the electric guitar solo. With “What I Want” next the band returned to their Tryhard EP in front of a fully bought-in crowd singing back every word.

The Band CAMINO took almost every request they could hear from the screaming fans, continuing with a recent single “See You Later.” Spencer hit the highest notes of the evening with floating falsettos and tight harmonies with Jordan. As another treat to the dedicated fans, the boys brought “Haunted” back to the setlist, claiming justice for the oft-overlooked favorite.

Their acoustic version of “Less Than I Do” put a syncopated spin on the usually synth-heavy track. As they sang “Farsighted,” the audience was in step with the band the whole way, not missing a beat when the boys mistakenly sang the wrong words.

To close the night out, The Band CAMINO and all their fans blew the roof off the hazy, Electric Jane with “See Through.” The undying energy was thrilling, leaving fans excited until the very last beat. 

The Dark dropped Friday (Aug. 11) via DBLBLK Records/Elektra Records. The band’s “Screaming In The Dark Tour” kicks off in September with support from Bad Suns, Charlotte Sands and TheWldlfe and concludes in Nashville on Oct. 21.

Old Dominion To Unveil Full ‘Memory Lane’ Album This October

/by

Old Dominion is capping off their latest No. 1 “Memory Lane” with the announcement of the full-length album, out Oct. 6.

The new 18-song project features the hit title track and other tunes from their eight-song EP Memory Lane, along with “Both Sides of the Bed,” the exuberant “Easy To Miss,” the rambling “Stay Drunk,” the bright, multi-rhythmic “A Million Things,” and the harmony standard-setting “Different About You,” among others. The project also finds the guys collaborating with Megan Moroney on “Can’t Break Up Now.”

“Megan’s a really intuitive singer, but she’s also a very smart songwriter–and she came at this song from what was being said, how the melody rises and kind of blew our minds,” admits Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey. “I think we all loved the way she creates a song, her sense of how notes flow, but she’s both songwriter/singer who came in and pushed this song to almost a scene from a movie.”

Blake Shelton also pops in for some fun on the new album, on a special redux of the feel-good-in-the-face-of-whatever-life-hands-you “Ain’t Got A Worry.” The match-up takes the rendition from their EP and makes it a friend-to-friend celebration of getting out of your own way and reveling in the moment.

“We always knew this was going to be a full album,” says Ramsey. “But we wanted to give our fans the opportunity to absorb it completely. Over the years, we’ve developed a conversation with fans, bad days, big moments, I’d like to think our songs make both better. We wanted to make an album that takes our songs and looks a little deeper into what happens between two people. Just because it’s deep, though, it doesn’t mean the music can’t feel good.”

Memory Lane Track Listing:
“Stay Drunk”
“A Million Things”
“Memory Lane”
“Different About You”
“Can’t Break Up Now (feat. Megan Moroney)”
“I Should Have Married You”
“Both Sides of the Bed”
“How Good Is That”
