DUSTIN LYNCH DELIVERS TWO OF CMA FEST'S HOTTEST TICKETS

During CMA Fest 2026, Dustin Lynch once again proved why fans flock to his signature events year after year, bringing thousands together across two unforgettable celebrations that showcased both sides of his high-energy live experience while his latest country radio single “Easy To Love” continues to climb the charts. 

On Thursday (6/4), Lynch kicked off the festivities with the fourth annual DUSTIN LYNCH POOL SITUATION: NASHVILLE at Margaritaville Hotel Nashville. Long before the gates opened, fans lined up downtown eager to secure a spot at Country music's premier pool party. The rooftop quickly reached capacity as Lynch delivered a crowd-pleasing set packed with fan favorites, joined by special guests David Lee Murphy and Two Friends. Returning Wheel-of-Fun activations including the fan-favorite Belly Flop Competition and Mullet Barber Bar helped transform the afternoon into another memorable installment of the now-annual CMA Fest tradition.

On Friday night, Lynch traded the rooftop for downtown nightlife, bringing his DUSTIN LYNCH NIGHTLIFE PARTY CLUB SET back to Barstool Nashville. Inspired by his ongoing WYNN NIGHTLIFE LAS VEGAS residency, the exclusive event showcased another side of the multi-PLATINUM entertainer as he took over the DJ booth for an explosive EDM set. Bryce Vine joined the festivities as fans packed the venue for one of CMA Fest's most talked-about late-night celebrations.

Together, the two events showcased the distinct space Lynch has created within Country music, blending the energy of a summer concert with the atmosphere of a nightlife destination. What began as fan events have evolved into annual CMA Fest traditions, drawing crowds year after year and cementing their place among the week's most anticipated experiences. Whether poolside under the Nashville sun or taking over the late-night scene downtown, Lynch once again delivered the kind of moments fans plan their festival weekend around.

IAN MUNSICK ANNOUNCES 4TH STUDIO ALBUM, THE MOUNTAIN GOAT, ARRIVING AUGUST 21, 2026

As one of modern country’s few Rocky Mountain artists – and the only one to merge its timeless traditions with an electrifying roots-pop edge – Wyoming native Ian Munsick has taken his music to the wild places few singer-songwriters go. With the announcement of his impending fourth studio album, The Mountain Goat, to fans during his fan club party at CMA Fest on Saturday (June 6), Munsick promises to continue doing just that. 
 
Munsick’s first full-length project released via WEST TO THE REST RECORDS / Triple Tigers Records – which he co-produced with Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson – The Mountain Goat arrives on August 21, 2026. Pre-save HERE. 
 
Along with co-producing the album, Munsick also played an extensive role in the instrumentation heard on the record. In total, Munsick is credited with playing nine different instruments: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bouzouki and kazoo, as well as lending background vocals and programming.
 
Reflecting on the creative process, Munsick shares, “‘Way up high in isolation, where most men dare not go…’ Since the very start of my musical journey I've always aspired to be an innovator. My voice has always been different so naturally, my music should be a little different too. When we started making this album, the relationship between my voice and the musical production was always at the forefront of the creative process. You'll hear modern sounds rooted in folky textures, soaked with steel guitar and, of course, plenty of fiddle. Melodies that will, hopefully, haunt you till the end of your days and lyrics that will take you to the place that inspires me most; the west. 
 
“These songs are dedicated to the land and the folks that live with it, not on it,” he adds. “Lord knows we need more of those in country music today. This album will take you horseback through pastures, prairies, up to the foothills, past the timberline and up to the summit... The Mountain Goat is waiting for you.”
 
As his single “Love Is Blind” continues to climb the charts at Country radio, Munsick will release his next song, “World War III,” off the 15-track album this Friday. Additionally, five D2C fan packs are available to pre-order on his online store, including an exclusive autographed zoetrope vinyl. Pre-order HERE.
 
Munsick promises to deliver fans a memorable tour of the west with a series of shows during album release week. As part of “The Road to The Mountain Goat,” Munsick just announced his official album release show will be held at Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater in Park City, Utah on August 22 as part of the Deer Valley Concert Series. 
 
“Some of my favorite shows I've ever played have been in Mountain Time. Home of the Rockies and some of my most die hard fans, I couldn't think of a better place to host my album release show than the gorgeous Deer Valley Amphitheater in Park City,” Munsick beams. “Utah ALWAYS shows up and sings every word to every song and come August 22nd, you'll have 15 more songs to sing along to. 
 
“The Road to The Mountain Goat includes stops in Nevada, Colorado (including the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater), New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota and, of course, Utah,” he adds. “If you've ever seen me and Rocky Mountain Fever live, you know these will be more than just shows.. they'll be experiences. Don't miss us on The Road to The Mountain Goat.”
 
Munsick is also partnering with The Landmark Hotel & Casino to open the Ian Munsick Cowboy Bar & Western Grill in August in Deadwood, S.D on September 18. Built between 1894-1920, The Landmark is Deadwood’s largest historic structure at approximately 35,000 square feet. The Ian Munsick Cowboy Bar & Western Grill will reside within over 2,600 square feet of the footprint. The venue will promote and celebrate country and western music with old school country bar decor, along with two performance stages, one indoors and one outdoors.

About Ian Munsick:
As one of modern country’s few Rocky Mountain artists – and the only one to merge its timeless traditions with an electrifying roots-pop edge – Wyoming native Ian Munsick lives in the wild places few singer-songwriters go. Yet with his fourth album, The Mountain Goat, he climbs farther out on his creative ledge than ever. Marking his first independent album on WEST TO THE REST RECORDS / Triple Tigers Records, Munsick remains as sure footed as his project’s fearless namesake, thriving in the isolation of a Western-flavored modern country frontier. Racking up over one billion career streams with previous albums Coyote Cry, White Buffalo, and Eagle Feather, Munsick has produced one RIAA-Platinum duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson) – No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown – plus two Gold-certified hits: “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Spotify, CMT, and the Grand Ole Opry were among those to recognize Munsick’s vision, and concertgoers across the globe have found a Western authenticity that can’t be faked. Munsick made history in 2025, becoming the first Wyoming-born artist to headline Cheyenne Frontier Days – the iconic rodeo known as the “Daddy of ‘Em All” – and with The Mountain Goat, his quest to bring Western mystique to modern fans continues. Fusing genuine tradition with cutting-edge sonics, 15 tracks feature an “earthy” new organic undercurrent, with the multi-instrumental master more connected to his acoustic roots – and more protective of his territory.

unpeople Announce Debut Album "we are unpeople" Set For 10/9 + New Single "friends" Out Now!

Today, rapidly ascending four-piece unpeople announce their unifying, genre-spanning debut album we are unpeople  out October 9 on SharpTone Records, which takes the philosophy behind the band's name and turns it into a powerful, uncompromising statement of intent.

The announcement is accompanied by brand new single "friends" — listen below.

"'friends' is essentially a love song from the perspective of someone who is wholly skeptical about the very concept of love and what it's come to mean in a modern context," explains vocalist Jake Crawford. "I am essentially saying I am going to kill the very concept of love before it's even had a chance to get a hold of me - I am that afraid of being that vulnerable. I'd rather not bother than risk saying something I don’t mean, and then pay for it emotionally down the line. I'm fully aware that this is not necessarily healthy, but the mind takes you to some strange places when strong feelings are involved."

A seamless ability to connect across boundaries and conjure communal spirit, sits at the very heart of this debut album. Built upon massive choruses, four-part vocal harmonies, and unabated heaviness, we are unpeople captures a band whose ambition is matched by their belief in the power of music to unite people.

With stadium-busting choruses,to '00s Reuben-esque mega riffs, and the stunningly unpredictable eccentricity of System Of A Down, the album is colorful and joyous, yet aggressive and intense, having already spawned infectious tasters that include "clouds," "the garden," and "waste."

Comprised of Jake Crawford, Luke Caley, Em Lodge, and Richard Rayner,unpeople have quickly established themselves as one of the UK's most exciting new alternative bands, earning themselves a reputation for creating music that feels equally at home on the biggest rock stages and the heaviest festival bills — having fittingly been described as the lightest band at Bloodstock, and the heaviest band at Kendal Calling — finding themselves equally at home in both settings.

Originally used to describe those considered politically unimportant or without value, the term "unpeople" has since become another way to dismiss those whose views differ from our own. The band have reclaimed the phrase entirely, transforming it into a celebration of shared humanity, individuality, and belonging.

Since forming in 2023, that approach has seen unpeople rise at remarkable speed, with Kerrang! hailing them as "one of alternative music's best new bands." Live, they've opened for Metallica in Vienna, shared bills with Smashing Pumpkins andCoheed & Cambria, drawn huge crowds at 2000trees, and will a perform a landmark Main Stage-opening set at Download Festival this weekend — as well as appearances at Reading & Leeds Festival, Copenhell, Hurricane, Southside & many more this summer.

The rest of 2026 and beyond is there for the taking for a band rapidly on the ascension. "'we are unpeople is released into the world on October 9 and we couldn’t be more proud of it," says the band. "We collectively put our absolute everything into it and we can’t wait to share it with you all!

we are unpeople.
you are unpeople.
we are all unpeople."

South Arcade Reveal New Single "Deadmeat"

About to embark on a massive summer of festivals, shows, and more music, South Arcade are back with their latest single, "DEADMEAT." The track is available now on all streaming platforms via BKM in partnership with Atlantic Records. Listen Below.

Speaking of the new single, the band says, "We went into writing wanting to tell a sort of modern Romeo and Juliet story (but with a less depressing ending), and we left with 'DEADMEAT.' It has this reckless optimism about it where the two characters' worlds shouldn't really overlap but they've found each other regardless — they want to escape all of that noise, steal a car, and leave town. It had this 'Us against the world' energy that we loved."

The energetic track shows a playful side to the band while keeping their signature sound. The four-piece have revealed the single ahead of a summer packed of festivals including playing mainstage at Download, Rock 4 People, and TRNSMT before heading to the U.S. later this month for the Idobi Summer School Tour and the iconic Vans Warped Tour (see full itinerary below). Recently finishing the huge UK and EU arena tour with global band 5 Seconds Of Summer, South Arcade teased fans with "DEADMEAT," building huge anticipation for the release.

"DEADMEAT" follows on from last single "SUPERMAN" which was released in April and became the band's biggest streaming debut to date with over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone. The band recently announced their biggest headline show to date, playing the iconic O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 25, 2027, marking a huge milestone in their already incredibly impressive career. The last few remaining tickets are available here.

Named one of "the most exciting rising artists to watch in 2026" by Alternative Press, South Arcade are conquering all areas of the industry, amassing over 180 million global streams, building a social following of over 2.2 million fans across socials, and completely selling out their first-ever North American headline tour last fall. 

Hot off the heels of EPs PLAY! and 2005, both championed relentlessly by BBC Radio 1 across multiple shows, South Arcade have made the kind of noise that's impossible to ignore. With standout cuts "FEAR OF HEIGHTS," "Supermodels," and "Drive Myself Home" turning heads, they're taking over the alternative scene and the loudest chapters are still to come...

Metalcore Band Provenance Release New Single + Music Video "Broken Bonds" via Arson Theory

Massachusetts metalcore band Provenance have released their powerful new single, "Broken Bonds," alongside an accompanying music video that brings the song's themes of betrayal, abandonment, and emotional turmoil to life.

Released via Arson Theory, the four-piece metalcore band from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, formed in 2025 and has quickly begun carving out its place in the modern heavy music scene with an aggressive sound.

At the heart of "Broken Bonds" is a deeply personal message about being left behind when support is needed most. The song's emotional centerpiece arrives in the lyric, "You watched the whole world fall around me," which perfectly captures the song's central theme of feeling abandoned by someone who was expected to stand by your side.

"'You watched the whole world fall around me' heavily reinforces the overall feeling of this song and what it's about being let down and abandoned by someone you counted on for support," says the band.

With "Broken Bonds," Provenance continue to establish themselves as a promising new voice in the metalcore scene, delivering music that resonates with listeners facing their own struggles with loss, disappointment, and fractured relationships.

"Broken Bonds" and its official music video are available now on all major streaming and video platforms.

ABOUT GUILT TRIP:
Historically, Manchester, UK breeds a certain toughness. As a pillar of the 19th century Industrial Revolution in Northern England, factories and warehouses line much of the city's rain-baptized topography. A hardworking lot who shoot straight without apology, its denizens traditionally take an incredible amount of pride in where they come from. Embodying the grit and gusto of Manchester, UK, Guilt Trip bring a blast of homegrown intensity to their hybrid of hardcore and metal. The five piece slide striking melodies in between throat-slitting thrashy riffs and earth-splitting breakdowns. Guilt Trip started to forge a seething signature style without comparison back in 2015. They dropped the Unrelenting Force EP [2016] followed by River of Lies [2019]. The latter spawned "Thin Ice," which reeled in 7.1 million Spotify streams and counting. 2023's Severance marked a turning point. It boasted popular collaborations with LANDMVRKS and Malevolence. KERRANG!hailed their "unique brand of hardcore that sees them delve into elements of thrash, old-school hardcore and fist-pumping metal." Beyond sharing the stage with everyone from Sylosis to While She Sleeps, they lit up festivals, including Download and Hellfest. Attracting Roadrunner Records to their corner, the musicians decamped to StudioOWZ in Clarbeston Wales with producer and engineer Adam "Nolly" Getgood [Periphery] during early 2025 to record their debut LP for Roadrunner Records, Armour Of Angels. They bulldozed the way for the release with the God Forgives EP, which incited the applause of Rock Sound, BLUNT, and CLASH. With Armour Of Angels, they're primed to make Manchester proud as they make a lasting imprint on heavy music.

VOÏVOD Releases New Live Album ‘Symphonique’ Featuring the Quebec Symphony Orchestra Out Now via Century Media Records

After more than 40 eventful years of existence, Canada's progressive sci-fi metal innovators VOÏVOD return with ‘Symphonique,’ a special live release together with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, out now via Century Media Records.

‘Symphonique,’ which functions like an epic piece of cinema, showcases VOÏVOD’s pioneering futuristic metal with the strains of a symphony orchestra, and features a carefully curated VOÏVOD best-of setlist composed of 12 songs across 73 minutes, recorded live on June 4th, 2025, at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City, Canada.

Today, a next appetizer for ‘Symphonique’ can now be seen in a visualizer created by Luc Leclerc / Above The Void, featuring background animation by Sébastien Fournier / Cirkus Animation for the song “The Unknown Knows (Symphonique),” available below. 

The previously launched 'Symphonique' live-songs can still be viewed here:

Watch “Forgotten In Space (Symphonique)” HERE

Watch “The End Of Dormancy (Symphonique)” HERE

VOÏVOD’s drummer and founding member Michel “Away” Langevin comments on ‘Symphonique’:

“This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality. Thankfully, we will experience it again in 2027 with the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, right in the region where VOÏVOD formed back in 1983. We wish to take this show across the globe with local orchestras one day, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this epic release. It’s the closest we’ve ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours!”

Watch the Visualizer for "The Unknown Knows (Symphonique)"

Pop-Rockers AS IT IS Release New Single "Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles" + Official Music Video

Transatlantic pop-rock quartet, AS IT IS release “Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles,”the latest single from their forthcoming self-titled album, out on July 17th via FLG. A bombastic blast of E-Street band inspired Americana, which sets politicized, dark social commentary in stark contrast with rousing saxophone hooks and driving grooves.

Speaking of the track, the band shares:

“We weren't planning on releasing another single before the album. In fact, this song wasn't even on the original tracklisting. But, during album tracking in January 2026, the news and our social feeds were flooded by the ICE raids across the USA. Multiple murders by ICE agents in Patty's home state of Minnesota, and almost one mass shooting per day. We watched the USA descend into violence whilst the 'Rich Televangelist' at the top stoked the fires further. The song was about Patty's relationship with America and being an American in the current political climate, but with that added real-world context, it suddenly became even more urgent and essential, not only to the album but to the album campaign. As tensions continue to rise and the global resurgence of the far right continues, we felt that this song, its message, and the video deserved their moment to be seen, heard, and felt. Fu*k Fascism."

Watch the Official Video for "Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles" Below:

To create art for art’s sake is as pure an intention as a band can have. Writing a song that may never even see the light of day, but speaks to the very reason that you want to create in the first place. Putting joy, connection and fulfilment above anything else, and reaping the rewards that come from pushing such human endeavors. It’s a noble and selfless position to place yourself in, one that sits at the very root of why we all fall in love with music in the first place.

For AS IT IS, it was an absolute necessity to do things like this.

It is everything that AS IT IS was, is, and will be, and it means the absolute world to them.

“You can never manufacture genuine connection with people,” Ben remarks. “Just find what is honest to you and honest to your journey, and that’s all any artist has to offer to the world. This is our reality, and reality is looking a bit more positive these days. We’re a band known for four quite depressing albums. But days fluctuate, and things change. That’s mental health. But to be able to look at everything with a different and more positive outlook on the future is all that we wanted to say.”

“This is the spirit and intention of the joy that formed AS IT IS in the first place,” Patty adds. “It is reconnecting with the kids that we were when we started to write songs. And now, we’re showing up with life in our eyes. We can listen to and support each other. This is the most in control and confident the band has been in a long time, but also the most proud. In the past, I had no choice but to be in AS IT IS. This new era of the band is my choice. Our choice. A choice. But in having it back, it means having maybe the biggest piece of myself back, too.”

Kami Kehoe Embraces Sexuality & Desire In X-Rated New Video "DIRTY" During Pride Month

Alt-rock star on the rise, Kami Kehoe, embraces her darkest impulses on sultry new single, "DIRTY", out now via Atlantic Records. A seductive pivot from the unraveling spiral of "PSYCHO", "DIRTY" leans into a raw, sensual reckoning with sexuality and desire. Watch the new video for "DIRTY" Below.

Amplifying the dark allure behind "DIRTY", the music video finds a dimly lit Kami Kehoe, surrounded by women whose hypnotic movements and intimate touch blur the line between seduction and control. The visuals simmer with a dangerous, magnetic tension, culminating into a striking final moment as the darkness overtakes Kami Kehoe in an unsettling yet sensual embodiment of indulgence pushed to its edge.

Hot on the heels of her latest single "PSYCHO", smash hits "DOPAMINE" and "FADE OUT,", and a nationwide tour supporting Daughtry, Seether, and POD (which saw her regularly invited to join them on stage), Kami continues to cement her place as one of the genre's most magnetic rising voices. Named as one of Pandora's Artists to Watch in 2026 (The Pandora Ten) and continuing to rack up spins on Sirius XM's Octane, Kami is set to take on some of the country's biggest stages this fall as support for Breaking Benjamin.

Consider "DIRTY" Kami Kehoe's gift to the girls during Pride Month as she shares:

“I know you guys like it DIRTY...

Happy Pride Month, this one's for you.”

With signature gritty guitars, atmospheric production, and Kami's evocative vocals, her smash hit, "FADE OUT" closed out 2025 as one of her most emotionally charged releases to date. The track capped off her "KANDY" EP era that documented the full arc of heartbreak and healing, garnering millions of streams, 100 million views in short form content, and viral popularity worldwide. Her hit single, "DOPAMINE", earned over 30 million streams and hit #11 on Sirius XM Octane's "Big Uns" Countdown, spotlighting her growth in the modern rock landscape.

Carving out her own space in the alt-rock world, Kami Kehoe has impressively amassed over 105 million streams and more than 2 million social media followers by blending a sultry, velvety vocal with a hard-charged rock energy. Since breaking out with the viral hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD”, she has continued to evolve her sound—infusing shoegaze, metal, and hip-hop influences into her music while remaining unapologetically authentic.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Kami Kehoe news coming very soon.

Adding to an already landmark year, Kami will be joining rock's most established names at Rock Fest (WI) in July before embarking on a run alongside Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Starsetfor a nationwide tour this fall, hitting Louisville's iconic Louder Than Life Festival along the way.

ABOUT KAMI KEHOE

KAMI KEHOE has never been one to wait for permission. At just 22, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and drummer has blazed a fearless musical path, most recently with her latest EP, “Kandy”, out now via Atlantic Records, Coup D’Etat Recordings, and 10K Projects. Since emerging, she’s spun a chameleonic, hard-charged rock sound into over a million Instagram followers, 10 million TikTok likes, and over 75 million streams in 2025 alone.

Unapologetic authenticity propelled her breakout hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD,” from her 2024 album REVIVED (Coup D'état/10K Projects), to audiences around the world in stratospheric fashion. Almost overnight, the garage-punk suckerpunch – the snarl of Joan Jett with the timeless melodicism of the Ramones – ripped through social media at lightning speed, netting Kami 100,000 new TikTok followers a day and further cementing her as a rising force in the underground. 

Diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, obsession, and self-discovery, her latest EP, “Kandy” blends dark melodic rock with pop, metal, and metaphor-rich songwriting. Using candy and drugs as symbols for dangerous pleasures, each of the five tracks explore the tangled interplay between allure and risk, offering a bittersweet reflection on the complexities of desire and the consequences that follow. It’s another bold step forward for Kami as she continues to kick down the guardrails of her sound, another entry in her omnipresent push to rewrite what’s possible for her musical future. 

After making waves with a standout performance at Warped Tour and playing her very first headlining show, Kami has just wrapped her largest tour yet, joining forces with industry legends, Daughtry, Seether, and P.O.D. She’ll continue to evolve as an artist with the same freedom and fearlessness that’s led her here, another chapter in a career that’s continually defied expectations – not that she’s ever really cared about those in the first place.

Wes Parker Releases Debut Album 'Super Rare' And Shares "Dinosaur Park" Official Video via Big Machine Rock

Rising alt-rock artist Wes Parker has today released his eagerly anticipated debut album 'Super Rare' via Big Machine Rock. In celebration of the release, Parker dropped the gorgeously cinematic official music video for his haunting single, "Dinosaur Park". Leading up to today, he released tracks "Bad Doggie" and most recently, "Little Birdie", along with their respective visual accompaniments. Speaking about "Dinosaur Park", Parker shared:

“‘Dinosaur Park’ is a song inspired by the 2009 disappearance and likely murder of Susan Powell in Utah. I’m not usually a true crime person, but hearing her story deeply affected me and left me heartbroken for her and her family. This manifested through a dark but propulsive track with haunting guitar riffs and a sort of uneasy undercurrent that feels somewhere in the world of Radiohead sonically. "Mommy stayed the night where the crystals grow" is a lyric that was a direct quote from one of her late children (at the time 4 years old) when asked where their mother was the night of her disappearance.”

'Super Rare' is available now on all streaming platforms at the link here. Watch the official music video for "Dinosaur Park" below.

After wrapping up his Spring headlining tour across North America, Parker is now on the road with indie-folk powerhouse Shakey Graves. Fans will also have their chance to see him at this year's All Things Go Fest in Washington, D.C., spanning the weekend of Friday, September 25 through Sunday, September 27, alongside alternative and indie rock juggernauts including Mitski, Hayley Williams, Brandi Carlile, and many more.

EVA UNDER FIRE SHARE LYRIC VIDEO FOR NEW SONG "THE WORDS YOU SAY"

Listening to EVA UNDER FIRE is quite literally hard rock therapy, turning scars and demons into anthems of inner strength. As a licensed therapist and powerhouse vocalist/songwriter, Amanda Lyberg blends emotional insight with powerful songwriting, delivering lyrics and performances that connect deeply and hit listeners right in the feels.

The Detroit quintet will unleash its new album VILLAINOUS via Better Noise Music on July 10. It follows their 2022-released debut, Love, Drugs & Misery. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band shares the lyric video for the new song "THE WORDS YOU SAY." 

"This song is about being in a toxic relationship when words are often twisted and used against us," states singer Amanda Lyberg, pulling back the curtain. "It scrambles our minds and makes reality seem so far away."

The new song is a mid-tempo, emotionally violent rager and it arrives as the title track and first radio single, which features In This Moment's Maria Brink, climbs towards Top 10 at radio. Listen to the song here. Watch the video Below:

2026 will find Eva Under Fire on tour for most of the year so opportunities to see the band command the stage will be plentiful.

For all of EVA UNDER FIRE's new music, Amanda drew on her career as a licensed therapist to foster open dialogue among the band members, empowering everyone to be heard during the recording. Her work in therapy started in 2018 when she graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Psychology and went on to work at a mental health clinic in Detroit, Transcendence Behavioral Health (owned by Dr. Stephanie Williams). That same year, her father passed away due to a fentanyl overdose. Her mother survived the same batch that killed her father and has been sober for the past six years. In addition to her thriving and busy music career, Amanda is currently a practicing psychotherapist specializing in trauma work, grief, loss, and addiction recovery.

Her story turned into a 2023 short film, My Rockstar, which used EVA UNDER FIRE music throughout and has won over 20 awards at several film fests including Orlando Film Fest, Wild Rivers Film Festival, Toronto WILDfilm Festival, and many others.

Lauded as one of SiriusXM's 2023 "Ones To Watch," EVA UNDER FIRE released their critically acclaimed debut album, LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY via Better Noise Music in 2022. Its deluxe version includes the Top 20 Active Rock radio-charting single "Unstoppable" featuring country/rock artist Cory Marks. They've toured across the globe with acts including Bush, Bad Wolves, Pop Evil, Skillet, and Finger Eleven, while also appearing at some of rock's biggest festivals including Aftershock, Inkcarceration, and Rock Fest.

EVA UNDER FIRE—who have amassed over 100 million streams and 10 million YouTube views—substantially expanded their fanbase following their featured appearance in the horror-thriller The Retaliators (Better Noise Films) and the inclusion of their single "Blow (Feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)" on the film's soundtrack. Their single "Heroin(e)" was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2020 film Sno Babies (Better Noise Films), which has over 65M global streams. "Heroin(e)" has a combined total of over six million global streams, while "Blow (Feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)" has over 41.6M global total streams.

Guitars, Tiki Bars Meets Very Vibe @ Kenny Chesney's SPHERE 26 Residency

When Kenny Chesney became the first solo headliner and first country artist to headline the groundbreaking Sphere, he knew he wanted to make it a full immersion experience for the people who love his music. Beyond a sensory immersive performance that featured surprise guests ranging from Grace Potter and Megan Moroney to David Lee Murphy and Mac McAnally, songs that are never or rarely played live and production that delivered a whole new way to look at his music, Chesney curated Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love at the Venetian where fans could see artifacts and visuals from key moments in the Country Music Hall of Famer’s career, hit the merch superstore with several vintage designs, see some special No Shoes Radio programming and enjoy a cold grown-up beverage or soft drink.
 
It was so popular, the lines started an hour or two before opening and the fire marshal might’ve checked in a time or two. As Chesney marveled, “Who knew people would come to look at that stuff, or load up on t-shirts? But it made me feel incredible knowing that No Shoes Nation actually cared about that. When it was time to go back, I wanted to figure out how to make it something different, but deliver the same kind of fun.”
 
Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love is making a big – and better located – move to the top of the Venetian’s walking bridge to Sphere. From Wednesday through Sunday, once Kenny kicks off, the area will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on non-show days and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on show days. The space will feature multiple bars, No Shoes Radio set-up, dedicated merch shop, photo ops and high-top tables to pause and take it all in.
 
For the VIP package holders, Very Vibe is your very special take on Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love. Not only is it a dedicated space to check in, cocktail up, enjoy activations and have your own merch mall, it offers both a Chesney island feel and a more streamlined experience picking up your credentials, getting questions answered and starting your weekend.
 
Even better, when the show’s over and you want to keep rolling, Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love will be opening up for after-hours cocktailing for anyone who’s not ready to go home. “Out Last Night”? “When the Sun Goes Down”? No problem, as you’re heading out on the walkway, make a turn and you’re right back in the heart of No Shoes Nation.
 
“What could be better than hanging out after the show with all the rest of the people who just shared that experience?” Chesney marveled. “In a world where the community drifts apart after the concert, this seemed like a great way to let people hang out, talk about life, love, the lack thereof – or some song they couldn’t believe we played.
 
“Sometimes the show is just getting you started, so now I can help people keep the party rocking… keep them in the zone and let everybody really maximize their time in Vegas. To me, Sphere has been a whole other way to do this thing we all love. Who knows? Getting together at Guitars, Tiki Bars and a Whole Lotta Love may spark a whole other thing to do around our shows.”

LAINEY WILSON’S NEW SINGLE “PHONE, KEYS, WALLET” OUT NOW

16x ACM, 12x CMA and Grammy Award-winner Lainey Wilson’s new single, “Phone, Keys, Wallet,” is out now, featuring special guest John Mayer on guitar. Listen to the song below (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville), which world premiered at country radio across the U.S. and Canada today. 

Written during the final leg of the Whirlwind World Tour and recorded at Mayer’s Chaplin Studios in Los Angeles, the track finds Wilson embracing the messy, fast-moving parts of life, and celebrating the person who chooses to love her through it all. 

“I feel like a tornado with boots on half the time, and this song is really about finding somebody who’s okay with that chaos and chooses to love you through it anyway,” Wilson shares. 

“Phone, Keys, Wallet” follows Wilson’s recent releases “Younger You,” a special collaboration with Miley Cyrus, and “Can’t Sit Still,” which Billboard calls, “a rollicking stomp of a song where the frenetic music perfectly matches the driving lyrics,” while iHeartRadio praises, “[it] captures Wilson’s free-spirited, yet driven and hard-working character.” 

The new music adds to yet another monumental year for the Louisiana native, who headlined Stagecoach with an electric set, is the subject of the new Netflix documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool (watch HERE) and recently kicked off a run of stadium shows with Chris Stapleton, which will continue through the summer. Wilson also made her film acting debut in Universal’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him earlier this spring, was selected as one of USA Today’s 2026 Women of the Year and featured on the cover of People Magazine. 

“The reigning current standard-bearer for women in country” (Variety), Wilson hosted the 59th CMA Awards (the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991) last fall, where she won three awards: Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (Whirlwind). She also released the deluxe version of her acclaimed album, Whirlwind, this past August, which features five additional tracks, including her #1 single, “Somewhere Over Laredo.” 

The Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter, who has scored nine #1 hits including “4x4xU,” “Wildflowers And Wild Horses,” the 3x PLATINUM certified “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 4x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” in addition to award-winning collaborations with Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). Moreover, Wilson has collaborated with artists such as Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton and Post Malone, made her acting debut in Paramount’s hit television series, Yellowstone, and recently launched her fifth collection with Wrangler, as well as her own boot (Golden West Boots) and jewelry lines (The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection).

DEVIL’S CUT RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR TRACK “IF I LEAVE”

DEVIL’S CUT release the official video for “If I Leave,” a hard-hitting standout from the band’s debut album, ROADKILL. Blending bruised-heart honesty with whiskey-soaked heaviness, the track finds vocalist Trey Landrum wrestling with self-doubt, regret, and the fear of losing someone before they walk away first. 

The video was directed by Zabb (Sicko, the Bloodclown, Black Metal: The Ultimate Documentary). Watch it below:

Devil’s Cut have dubbed their sound “Mossy Oak metal,” a tongue-in-cheek tribute to their Louisville, KY roots, where crushing riffs, stomping grooves, and hard-rock aggression collide with infectious country-twang melodies and unapologetic Southern identity. Equal parts dive bar and mosh pit, the band proudly wear their roots on their sleeves: Dolly and Dale tees, camo hats, NASCAR jackets, muddy trucks, cold beers, bonfires, and neon-lit nights all factor into the world they’ve built. 

Devil’s Cut will be spending much of 2026 on the road in support of their album ROADKILL, winning yet more fans with their all-in-this-together, put-a-drink-up live show, including a tour with kindred spirits Alborn.

 Check out Devil’s Cut at any of the following tour stops:

6/05 Ironton, OH - Drift Days Music Festival

DARIUS RUCKER’S ANNUAL “DARIUS AND FRIENDS” SURPASSES $6.2 MILLION RAISED FOR THE KIDS OF ST. JUDE

Multi-GRAMMY Award winner Darius Rucker welcomed friends and fans to a sold-out Ryman Auditorium on Monday, June 1, for the 17th annual “Darius and Friends” benefit concert, which was paired with a corresponding celebrity golf tournament yesterday, June 2, and kickoff event headlined by Walker Hayes on Sunday, May 31, raising a massive $1.1 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®. The 2026 effort brings the all-time fundraising total to more than $6.2 million, helping ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
 
The annual event once again combined unforgettable music with a shared commitment to supporting the lifesaving mission of St. Jude. This year’s sold-out show featured performances from Rucker alongside Jason Aldean, Lauren Alaina, Carter Faith, Randy Houser and Mark Wills.
 
“Every year it amazes me how quick my friends are to say ‘yes’ to joining us here at the Ryman – and then you guys sell out the show without even knowing who’s going to come sing with us,” mused Rucker. “It’s incredible. I can’t thank everyone enough for the generosity and the eagerness to come out and support the wonderful work St. Jude is doing.”
 
The spirit of generosity was evident from the opening moments of the evening. Fundraising efforts got off to a remarkable start, with an intense bidding war for a guitar signed by all participating artists setting the tone for the night as it topped out at a $20,000 winning bid during the live auction hosted by the Big 98’s Wayne D and Tay. Additional auction moments – including signed items and premium seating opportunities – continued to inspire enthusiastic support from the crowd. 
 
Throughout the night, the historic Ryman Auditorium felt more like a gathering of friends than a concert venue, with the audience remaining an active part of the show from the opening notes through the final encore. The sold-out crowd was on their feet as soon as Rucker opened the evening with his own hits before welcoming Carter Faith to the stage for a performance of her own songs as well as a crowd-pleasing country remix of Britney Spears’ “Oops!... I Did It Again.”
 
From there, Rucker mixed his own songs with collaborations and special moments. Mark Wills earned a standing ovation with a rousing rendition of “Dixieland Delight,” while Lauren Alaina joined Rucker for a playful cover of the legendary Johnny & June duet “Jackson” and Jason Aldean thrilled fans with his own chart-topping hits.
 
One of the night’s most memorable moments came during Randy Houser’s set, with both a high-energy cover of Don Williams’ “Tulsa Time” and a powerhouse performance of “Like A Cowboy” that drew one of the evening’s biggest standing ovations. Following the performance, Rucker laughed as he told the crowd, “I know I can sing… But there’s only been four people I’ve ever been jealous of in my life: Luther Vandross, Steve Perry, Chris Stapleton and Randy F*cking Houser.”
 
As the evening reached a fever pitch, Rucker led the audience on a nostalgic trip through the ’90s with a Tim McGraw meets TLC meets Bell Biv DeVoe medley that had fans nearly drowning out the stage with their own voices. The evening then ended according to tradition, with a massive “Wagon Wheel” singalong concluding another unforgettable night in support of St. Jude.
 
This year’s milestone fundraising event adds yet another successful page to the nearly two-decade history of “Darius and Friends.” Prior guests have included Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, John Daly, Dan + Shay, Vince Gill, Jamey Johnson, Jelly Roll, Charles Kelley of Lady A, Ashley McBryde, A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys, Megan Moroney, Brad Paisley, Kenny Rogers, Tommy Thayer of KISS and Morgan Wallen, among many others.
 
In addition to the concert, Jason Aldean, Drew Baldridge, Brandon Bauman, Chayce Beckham, George Birge, Priscilla Block, Tyler Braden, Kane Brown, Captain Keith Colburn, Dax, FILMORE, Wyatt Flores, Mack Geiger, Vince Gill, Cole Goodwin, Randy Houser, Austin Mahone, Jeff Marino, Kameron Marlowe, Drake Milligan, John Morgan, Will Moseley, Todd Nichols, Dylan Schneider, Dan Tyminski, Blake Whiten, Mark Wills and Warren Zeiders joined Rucker for the corresponding golf tournament.
 
The annual fundraising event was made possible with support from generous sponsors AMD and The Law Office of Jennifer McCoy.
