DRAKE MILLIGAN ANNOUNCES STACKED 2025 “IN CONCERT” TOUR AROUND THE GLOBE

April 16, 2025

Critically acclaimed Country star Drake Milligan announces an impressive slew of dates with “Drake Milligan In Concert,” which slates his 2025 schedule opening for stars like Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan as well as his own headlining shows. Kicking off the tour in the desert at Stagecoach Festival on April 25th, Milligan will make his way through key markets across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

Milligan recently opened for Blake Shelton who spontaneously pulled the newcomer on-stage to perform a George Strait classic, “All My Ex’s Live In Texas.” The viral moment was one Milligan had not expected, but one he was fully prepared for as a fan and student of the King of Country.

For select dates throughout “Drake Milligan In Concert” fans can purchase VIP tickets, which provides a unique experience including early entry, an exclusive 1-song acoustic performance, and a group Q&A session with Milligan himself ahead of the show.

About Drake Milligan:

Drake Milligan burst onto the national music stage entering the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart at #5 after dominating iTunes with his debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth, charting back-to-back #1 hits on the iTunes Country Songs Chart, #1 on iTunes All-Genre Chart and reclaimed the #1 spot on iTunes Country Albums Chart, all while simultaneously holding positions #1, #2, #3 and #5 on iTunes Country Video Chart. In the UK, Milligan’s debut album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Official Country Artists Albums Chart. A student of classic Country music with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Fort Worth, Texas native is an electrifying entertainer who cites George Strait and Elvis Presley – the King of Country and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – as musical heroes, and his unique twist of traditional Country has been embraced by fans, peers and the media alike.

Following his Dallas/Fort Worth debut – named “One of the Best Country Albums of 2022” by Billboard and others – Milligan uncorked a Canadian Country Radio #1 in 2023 (“Honky Tonkin’ About” with The Reklaws) and garnered 5 million views in just a few months with “Cowgirl For Christmas.” His latest EP release titled, Jukebox Songs, features four all new tracks and was released in 2024, with hit single “I Got A Problem” earning #1 on the Australian Country Radio charts. The acclaimed “Artist to Watch” (CMT, Pandora, etc.) also returned to his primetime TV roots for a performance on the America’s Got Talent spin-off show, America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League and hit the road alongside Cody Johnson on his 2024 U.S. arena tour.

Ryan and Rory Share Swoon-Worthy Love Song "What's Mine Is Yours”

April 11, 2025

Hailed as “one of Nashville’s hottest rising duos” (Country Now), Ryan and Rory are in a giving mood with “What’s Mine Is Yours," a romantic, nostalgia-soaked anthem that’s pure country gold. From the bottom of their hearts to the top of their dresser drawers, they are offering everything down to their last name in this song, now available, HERE.

“What’s Mine is Yours” is about giving yourself completely to another person,” says Ryan Follese. “I think it takes just the right person to make two lives one.”

“It’s also about how the simple things can say so much about a great relationship,” adds Rory John Zak. “Like when she borrows a t-shirt and I never get it back."

Named a SiriusXM The Highway “Highway Find,” “Ryan and Rory are primed to become the next major male duo in country music” (Music Mayhem). Co-written by Ryan and Rory, Trannie Anderson and producer Kevin Bard, this bold, heartfelt track is featured on their electrifying setlist as they hit the road with Brett Young this spring after just wrapping dates with Tyler Braden. It follows the fueled up anthem “Truck Stop” that was released last month and anchored by the sexy video, featuring actresses/models Mariah Strongin and Bryanna “B” Ferringer as partners alongside "officers" Ryan and Rory.

Wrapping up 2024 on a high note, the '2025 Artist to Watch' (Music Mayhem) made their Grand Ole Opry debut, released the poignant track “Heaven’s Got A Country Station,” and toured with Sam Hunt and Jamey Johnson, who declared, “If I were a gambler, I’d bet on these two."

Between concert and recording dates, Ryan and Rory are prolific songwriters with a stockpile of new songs ready to be dropped in 2025.

About Ryan and Rory:
BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville's country music duo Ryan and Rory “are bursting onto the scene” (Country Swag). Named SiriusXM The Highway’s latest “Highway Find,” Ryan and Rory’s buzzy party starter “Pour Decisions” is a nod to the universal heartache band-aid, with the lively smash launching their highly anticipated self-titled debut EP, available now. Ryan Follesé is a Nashville native, 2X PLATINUM #1 hit singer-songwriter and American Music Award winner. Rory John Zak, from Raleigh, North Carolina, is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter who has played over 300 shows per year since he was 17. Having opened for Sam Hunt, Jamey Johnson and Tyler Braden and acclaimed by MusicRow “to make major waves on the country music scene,” Ryan co-wrote all six tracks on the project, with Rory adding his masterful instrumentals and expertly smooth harmonies to Ryan’s robust lead vocals. Featuring their vivacious anthem along with standout smash “This Town” that Billboard applauded as a “must-hear” new country song, the EP embodies that vibrant, wide-open spirit, while also showcasing their musical depth with bright imagery, buoyant lyricism, and soul-stirring ballads. Delivering “commercial polish and good-natured, honest storytelling” (Tennessean), “Ryan and Rory are the next heir apparent to the country duo throne” (Country Swag). “Poised to be a staple on countless playlists” (PopCulture), the duo made their Grand Ole Opry debut on December 7 and is already back in the studio working on new music. They closed out 2024 with the nostalgic “Heaven’s Got A Country Station” and revved up more than just engines in their release last month with “Truck Stop.” Sharing everything they have, down to their last name, Ryan and Rory drop their latest “What’s Mine Is Yours.” See them on the road throughout the spring across the US and Canada with select dates opening for ACM Award winner Brett Young.

Kolby Cooper's Highly-Anticipated Album 'Love You, Goodnight' Out Now

April 11, 2025

Dubbed “Country music’s newest badass” by People, Kolby Cooper returns with Love You, Goodnight—a no-holds-barred, emotionally charged album that hits like a shot of whiskey and stays with you like a scar that sparks a good story. Fueled by raw honesty, gritty vocals and a rebel spirit that refuses to play it safe, it’s a thrill ride through heartbreak, redemption and everything in between. Stream Love You, Goodnight now—available everywhere HERE.

“Making this album really kicked my ass. It took longer than I wanted it to, yet we dug down deep on this one and I think it really gives a glimpse into my life over the last few years,” shares Cooper. “There’s the part of me that is focused on being a great husband and dad to my wife and kids and then there’s the other side that is trying to make this dream happen out here on the road...and with all of that I think you will feel that there is an underlying theme of brokenness on this album that maybe writing and singing about it helps others not feel quite so alone.”

Establishing himself as a skilled songwriter, Cooper has been recognized as “the current buzzworthy artist in country music” (People) and is making waves with his 2025 headlining tour. At just 25 years old, he has spent the past six years captivating audiences and is “well on his way to headlining shows at Yankee Stadium and Red Rocks Amphitheatre” (Sounds Like Nashville).

The brand-new album arrives as Cooper has amassed over 440 million on-demand streams, made his Grand Ole Opry debut and filled stages across the country, including dates opening for acts like Jelly Roll and Koe Wetzel. The Texas native and father of three presents Love You, Goodnight, featuring 14 incendiary anthems, each showcasing a different facet of life on the road. All written or co-written by Cooper, including a powerhouse duet with fellow Texan Danielle Bradbery, the country outlier has already given fans a sneak peak with previously released heart-pounding tracks like “Under My Skin,” “Running Away,” “Hate You Too,” “Kill Me,” “Mama” and the poignant “Hello From The Road.”

About Kolby Cooper:
As an old-school troubadour whose fans keep him on the road, Kolby Cooper has spent the last six years winning one crowd after another and slowly building his rep as a rough-around-the-edges, country-rock phenom. But the infinite horizons of the highway come with a cost. Dialing up Love You, Goodnight in response – his second album for BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville with Combustion Music – the burning conflict within his late-night calls home becomes a blowtorch of country grunge, as a modern-day outlaw shoots from the sonic hip, pushing his sound to its high-voltage limit. A 25-year-old husband and father of three, the Texas native grew up in the shotgun seats of his long-haul trucking family members, switching CDs between Waylon Jennings and Cross Canadian Ragweed – but also Nirvana, Blink-182 and more. Starting his own career at 18, the singer-songwriter soon reached exit velocity on his orbit through the Texas live circuit, and his grassroots fan base now drives sold-out national headline tours and supporting runs with Jelly Roll, Koe Wetzel and more. Meanwhile, Cooper has racked up over 440 million on-demand streams, a Grand Ole Opry debut and industry-wide accolades, dubbed “country music’s newest badass” by People. Featuring 14 fuse-busting anthems – each one revealing a different aspect of life on the road, written or co-written by Cooper himself – Love You, Goodnight arrives as a hard-hitting fusion of the Texas country tradition with 2000s-era alt-rock, metal and punk. This ferocious follow-up to Cooper’s roughshod Red Dirt beginnings marks a heavy creative turn to match his heavy soul. More than sonic aggression, these tunes depict epic emotionality and an edgy, East-Texan rasp.

April 11, 2025

“When I heard ‘Stay Country or Die Tryin,’’ it took me back to the first time I heard ‘Ol’ Red’ or ‘God’s Country,’” says Shelton. “It’s got so much energy and is full of those little catchphrases and things we say out in the country. I absolutely fell in love with it. I’m proud of this recording—and I love singing it live even more. Hopefully, you’ll come catch a show and sing it with us.”

For Recreational Use Only spans 12 tracks that capture life’s highs and lows with Shelton’s signature blend of authentic storytelling, raw emotion, and unforgettable melodies.

April 1, 2025

Following the album’s previous chart-toppers, like the beautifully crafted “I Am Not Okay” and the fiery “Liar” that dominated the country radio chart for six-straight weeks, the spurring “Heart of Stone” was written by Jelly with Zach Crowell, Blake Pendergrass and Shy Carter.

Most recently, the “Outlaw Superstar” (GQ) notched his seventh country radio #1 (ninth #1 overall) and was one of the iconic entertainers who performed for Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary concert, SNL50, live from Radio City.

JOHN MORGAN DROPS REMINISCENT “KID MYSELF” AHEAD OF DEBUT ALBUM, CAROLINA BLUE, OUT APRIL 25

March 22, 2025

Billboard’s “Country Rookie of the Month” and MULTI #1 hit songwriter John Morgan drops the final preview of his debut album, Carolina Blue, out April 25, with the stunning “Kid Myself.” As his party starter smash “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” surges into the Top 5 at country radio, the rising star’s breathtaking track travels back to a regretful decision that cut a relationship short. Listen to “Kid Myself” and pre-order/pre-save/pre-add Carolina Blue HERE.

The final preview of Carolina Blue examines the tough but mature truth behind the past, pairing the tactful artist’s distinctly bold, emotive vocal delivery and striking, unexpected lyricism. With a delicately thoughtful spin on words, “Kid Myself” was written by John, Tyler Hubbard (of Florida Georgia Line) and Jordan Schmidt (Morgan Wallen, HARDY, ERNEST).

“‘Kid Myself’ was the first time I ever wrote with Tyler Hubbard,” John shares. “I was so nervous the night before because I knew I had to come into the writing room with a good idea, or he might never write with me again. Luckily, I threw out ‘Kid Myself,’ and Tyler and Jordan both loved it. This song is about my life before I moved to Nashville and a past relationship that might have been the one - had I been ready for it. Ultimately though, it’s about forgiving yourself.”

Watch Official Music Video for “Kid Myself” Below:

Lauded as an “accomplished songwriter” by People and “Music City Songwriting Star” by the Tennessean, the boldly gritty North Carolina native will deliver a tantalizing robust 12-track debut. A brilliantly curated collection of songs, the authentically humble and tenaciously driven powerhouse artist not only co-wrote every track and played every guitar, but he also co-produced it alongside Brent Anderson.

“Whether he’s crafting a country ballad or riding a ’90s-rock pulse, Morgan’s work is consistently melodic, designed to hook a listener in a heartbeat” - Billboard

With “stadium-ready written all over him” (All Country News), the captivating entertainer will open for Chase Matthew, bring the heat to Tortuga Music Festival and Stagecoach, and hit the road with Kane Brown this year.

About John Morgan:
With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. Now, “a Music City songwriting star” (Tennessean), he has earned cuts with Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and an outstanding 16 for Jason Aldean, including the superstar’s #1 songs - “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, along with Aldean’s latest single at country radio “Whiskey Drink” currently climbing the charts. Praised by People as an “accomplished songwriter,” Aldean signed the sought-after, powerhouse artist “with guitar skills that will knock your cowboy boots off" (Nash News) to Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Having made his Grand Ole Opry debut and logging hours on the road opening for Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green, Nate Smith and Jameson Rodgers, his party starter smash “Friends Like That” - featuring Jason Aldean - is currently surging into the Top 10 at country radio. With the Tennessean praising the “live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core,” John's breakout radio single has Billboard applauding, “Broken hearts aren’t typically pleasurable, although the breezy melody and pulsing guitars on ‘Friends Like That’ make loneliness sound attractive.” Giving fans a taste of new music with the striking “Kid Myself,” jaunty “Crickets,” confident “I Know Better” and heartrendingly smooth “Long Ride Home,” John Morgan’s highly anticipated debut album, Carolina Blue, drops April 25.

KOLBY COOPER’S FORTHCOMING ALBUM, LOVE YOU, GOODNIGHT, AVAILABLE APRIL 11

“It just feels like the most ‘me’ album we’ve ever made. I wasn’t even trying to force this sound out,” Cooper shares in anticipation. “I was just sitting down like ‘Let’s write something badass.’ I hope the lyrics carry the weight of how cool the production is, how hard we worked on it, and the countless hours I’ve spent making sure it told a story.”

Establishing himself as a skilled songwriter, Cooper has been recognized as “the current buzzworthy artist in country music” (People) and is making waves with his 2025 headlining tour. At just 25 years old, he has spent the past six years captivating audiences and is “well on his way to headlining shows at Yankee Stadium and Red Rocks Amphitheatre” (Sounds Like Nashville).

The brand-new album arrives as Cooper has amassed over 440 million on-demand streams, made his Grand Ole Opry debut and filled stages across the country, including dates opening for acts like Jelly Roll and Koe Wetzel. The Texas native and father of three presents Love You, Goodnight, featuring 14 incendiary anthems, each showcasing a different facet of life on the road. All written or co-written by Cooper, including a powerhouse duet with fellow Texan Danielle Bradbery, the country outlier has already given fans a sneak peak with previously released heart-pounding tracks like “Running Away,” “Hate You Too,” “Kill Me,” “Mama” and the poignant “Hello From The Road.”

About Kolby Cooper:
As an old-school troubadour whose fans keep him on the road, Kolby Cooper has spent the last six years winning one crowd after another, and slowly building his rep as a rough-around-the-edges, country-rock phenom. But the infinite horizons of the highway come with a cost. Dialing up Love You, Goodnight in response – his second album for BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville with Combustion Music – the burning conflict within his late night calls home becomes a blowtorch of country grunge, as a modern-day outlaw shoots from the sonic hip, pushing his sound to its high-voltage limit. A 25-year-old husband and father of three, the Texas native grew up in the shotgun seat of his long-haul trucking family members, switching CDs between Waylon Jennings and Cross Canadian Ragweed – but also Nirvana, Blink-182, and more. Starting his own career at 18, the singer-songwriter soon reached exit velocity on his orbit through the Texan live circuit, and his grassroots fan base now drives sold-out national headline tours and supporting runs with Jelly Roll, Koe Wetzel and more. Meanwhile, Cooper has racked up over 440 million on-demand streams, a Grand Ole Opry debut, and industry-wide accolades, dubbed “country music’s newest badass” by People. Featuring 14 fuse-busting anthems – each one revealing a different aspect of life on the road, written or co-written by Cooper himself – Love You, Goodnight arrives as a hard-hitting fusion of the Texas country tradition with 2000s-era alt-rock, metal and punk. This ferocious follow up to Cooper’s roughshod Red Dirt beginnings marks a heavy creative turn to match his heavy soul. More than sonic aggression, these tunes depict epic emotionality and an edgy, East-Texan rasp.

March 11, 2025

Award-winning, multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll scores his seventh #1 single with “Liar” on country radio (ninth career #1 overall). Solidifying the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for an entire month, the fiery single is the 4x Grammy nominee’s second time to dominate both charts with an emotively vocal track from his sophomore country album, Beautifully Broken. Listen HERE.

With the first being the striking “I Am Not Okay,” Beautifully Broken debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart (all-genre). Cementing its place as one of the “Best Albums of 2024,” Billboard championed the “inmate to icon” (GQ) for “changing the contours of what great country music can be.”

‘Liar’ boldly confronts addiction and materialism’s emptiness, with Jelly Roll‘s raw honesty on full display and his vulnerability shining through as he tackles the heavy themes head-on.” - Billboard

“This man is going from strength to strength. This pulse-quickening country-rocker is brilliantly produced with pounding rhythm, stuttering guitar and inspirational choir. But the star attraction here is a stunning vocal performance, full of fire, fury and passion.” - MusicRow

Most recently, the “Outlaw Superstar” (GQ) was one of the iconic entertainers who performed for Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary concert, SNL50, live from Radio City. Honoring the great Johnny Cash, Jelly performed a medley of his hits as well as collaborated with Snoop Dogg. In addition to his announcement as an upcoming Artist in Residence mentor on American Idol and headlining run during 2025’s Stagecoach Festival, Jelly is also set to be a part of NBC’s Opry 100 special, airing live from the Grand Ole Opry on March 19.

ABOUT JELLY ROLL:
Award-winning, GRAMMY® nominated Nashville native singer/songwriter Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart with his acclaimed 2024 album, Beautifully Broken—which also earned the highest critical praise of his career so far from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Associated Press, NPR, and more. The release concluded his most successful year yet and followed his sold out Beautifully Broken Tour in arenas nationwide.

Just a year earlier, Jelly debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and #2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut Country Album, Whitsitt Chapel (released June 2nd, 2023) - earning the biggest Country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, where he earned three awards to become the most awarded artist of the night, the Billboard Country Power List Cover star and “country’s ‘most authentic’ new artist” (The New Yorker) received Billboard’s 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People’s Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for “Save Me (with Lainey Wilson)” at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Awards and a win for Best New Country and Pop artist wins, Jelly is one of three artists alongside Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to have scored three Country Airplay #1s in 2023 and the first to do it with his first three singles. “One of Nashville’s fastest rising stars” (The New York Times), he has earned seven consecutive #1s to date at Country radio - nine total, with “Liar” (country/rock radio), “I Am Not Okay,” “Chevrolet” - Dustin Lynch feat. Jelly Roll, “Halfway To Hell,” “Save Me,” “Need A Favor,” “Son of A Sinner” and “Dead Man Walking”(rock radio). A 4X winner at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards and the most nominated male at the 2023 CMA Awards, with five total nominations capturing his first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year, Jelly continues to break boundaries. His #1 hit single “Save Me” — a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt— set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights including a Platinum certification from the RIAA on the heels of his 28-week reign at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. “Save Me” earned Jelly his first ACM win for Music Event of the year.

Not just an artist but a humanitarian, Jelly continues to resonate with fans on a global scale, while racking up numerous milestones - from playing his sold-out hometown show for 18,000 fans at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to donating a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen, to the release of his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, “Save Me” - the most watched music documentary on the platform - to his visits with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the US. Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3, The New York Times, LA Times, The Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, CMT and more, his self-built, unconventional industry rise and unique fan connection has garnered praise from numerous outlets, with Variety noting, “for everyone who’s facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen,” and American Songwriter echoing, “with a string of accolades and an extremely dedicated following, Jelly Roll has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.”

PARMALEE UNVEILS UPLIFTING NEW SONG “FEELS LIKE HOME” AHEAD OF FELL IN LOVE WITH A COWGIRL ALBUM OUT APRIL 4

February 21, 2025

As their current single “Cowgirl” climbs the country radio charts, multi-PLATINUM country sensation Parmalee, known for five #1 singles and a genre-bending sound, is set to captivate fans once again with the release of their newest uptempo track “Feels Like Home.” The heartwarming song, which blends power-ballad lyrics into an irresistible country-pop swagger, is a testament to the transformative feeling of finding that special someone who makes you feel truly at home.

“We’ve always believed that music can transport someone to a place where they feel like they belong, where they feel right at home,” said the band. “We also believe that the right person can do that too. That’s what this song is about. That one who makes you feel right at home when you’re with them. We wanted to make sure to keep the energy going with this one and make sure everyone could sing along with us, just like all the songs that have connected us with our fans!”

Written by Matt Thomas, David Fanning, Ashley Gorley, Beau Bailey, and Ned Cameron, “Feels Like Home” paints a picture of love as a safe haven — a place that, much like one’s hometown, resonates with comfort and familiarity.

“Feels Like Home” is the second track released from their forthcoming new album Fell In Love With A Cowgirl, available April 4. Fans can pre-order/pre-save/pre-add the album here. The seven-track collection launches the first part of a two-album series that magnifies Parmalee’s distinctive mix of storytelling and swagger. Their music offers a fresh take on love and adventure, celebrating both life’s grand milestones and everyday moments.

Their new single, “Cowgirl,” was released last month with MusicRow Magazine saying of the song, “Bopping and merry. The galloping electronic tempo, compressed production, and rapid-fire vocals describe tumbling head over heels in love. Catchy as can be.”

Parmalee’s evolution from chart-topping hits to innovative new sounds continues to solidify their place at the forefront of the country genre. With “Feels Like Home,” the band invites listeners on a musical journey that’s equal parts nostalgic and refreshing—an anthem for anyone who’s ever found solace in love.

Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Coors Light and Wrangler, the tour will include stops at Zurich’s X-TRA, Paris’ Elysée Montmartre, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Austin’s Moody Center, Baton Rouge’s Raising Cane’s River Center Arena and Denver’s Ball Arena among many others. Special guests on the tour include ERNEST, Muscadine Bloodline, Kaitlin Butts, Maddox Batson, Drake Milligan, Lauren Watkins and Zach Meadows. See below for the complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.laineywilson.com/tour.

Additionally, Wilson recently joined British singer and songwriter Myles Smith for a special remix of his song, “Nice To Meet You,” which is out now. Listen/share HERE.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Wilson’s latest studio album, Whirlwind, was released via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville this past summer and was nominated for Best Country Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. With the album, Wilson achieved her best sales week ever as the record debuted at #8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart—her first top 10 entry. Stream/purchase Whirlwind HERE.

A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has also collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor, as she made her acting debut in season 5 of Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone and recently returned for its final episode of the series. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.

BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE WELCOMES SHOWSTOPPING SONGSTRESS ALEXANDRA KAY TO THE ROSTER

February 13, 2025

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville adds Alexandra Kay to its roster welcoming the Prairie State reared performer, as she sets her contagiously catchy and confidently spunky uptempo sing-along “Cupid’s A Cowgirl” to release on Friday, February 21. This track aligns with the opening weekend of her headlining U.S. and Canada “Cupid’s A Cowgirl” Tour that starts February 23 in Jacksonville, Florida. Pre-save, pre-add, pre-order “Cupid’s A Cowgirl” HERE.

"Having known Alexandra for a number of years, I came away from every interaction impressed not only with her talent, passion and work ethic, but also her strategic mind and determination to build a career not for a moment, but for a lifetime; a career anchored in the strong bond she is building with audiences around the world. It felt much like when I was first getting to know Jelly Roll. So, it was ironic when, completely separate from me, he saw the same qualities and invited her to tour with him last year. We are so excited to welcome Alexandra to the BMG family and look forward to continuing to help her build that lifetime career," says Jon Loba, President, Frontline Recordings, Americas, BMG

Proudly capping off her biggest year yet, Alexandra wrapped a milestone 2024 with breakout releases and a packed tour schedule on the road performing and connecting with fans. Being taken under Jelly Roll’s wing, she impacted new audiences across the U.S. on his sold out Beautifully Broken Arena Tour. Plus, she landed her first inclusion on a motion picture soundtrack when she was featured on Twisters: The Album. Additionally, Alexandra has sold over 80,000 tickets as an independent headlining artist and is one of the top-selling artists on TikTok Shop for music.

Currently in the studio readying her debut project via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Alexandra is proud to start sharing new music with her fans on tour. Up next, she’ll head across the pond for her international All I’ve Ever Known U.K. & Europe Tour that has already sold out in Amsterdam, Glasgow, Birmingham, Belfast and Manchester. With limited tickets remaining, click HERE for more information.

Throughout her career, she has toured and collaborated with Jelly Roll, Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, Gary LeVox, Tracy Lawrence, Clay Walker, and Scott Stapp of Creed. Since making her Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022, she has gained an emphatic fan base, toured all over the world, and just a few months ago supported Morgan Wallen at his sold-out Hyde Park show in London and Jelly Roll at his sold-out hometown show in Nashville.
