Kenny Chesney Rocks The Plaza; Debuts Animated "Goldfish" TONIGHT

They came from Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Philadelphia and beyond – and started lining up long before midnight – to be part of Kenny Chesney’s kick-off for Silver Sands Marina on the Plaza with “TODAY”’s Citi Concert Series. They brought license plates saying “SS Marina,” signs that said “Skipped School for This,” “Too Old for High Heels, But Not No Shoes,” “Virgina Is For Kenny Chesney Lovers” and “My First Kenny Chesney Concert,” as well as Pirates Flags, tennis pros, bags of Goldfish and sundry tokens of No Shoes Nation for the show that saw the live debut of the title track, “Goldfish” and “Carry On.”
 
“I figured if we’ve got the band in place, we might as well open it up,” said the East Tennessee songwriter-superstar. “To play these songs for the people, to feel the energy and see how they light people up is what it’s all about… And it was great they gave us five songs, so we could go deep – and have some fun. And it was.”

Performances will be available later today

With the new songs landing with a big smile and bigger energy, Chesney has gotten his 21st album underway like only he can. Live on several ESPN shows this afternoon, he will join his friends at the table on “The View” tomorrow. Even more, the Country Music Hall of Fame inductee is set to world premiere a special animated clip of “Goldfish” tonight as part of his second TalkShopLive appearance, where he will further unpack his new album and take questions from the people watching. Watch the premiere and conversation HERE.
 
“Since we’re all gonna be together, this is the place to show off this new, animated take on our ‘Goldfish’ video,” Chesney shares. “We were talking about how much fun the video we shot was and childlike this song is, and figured, ‘Why not take it all the way… and make a cartoon out of it?’ It’s amazing what you can do when you add in animation.
 
“All of the animals not only come to life – and have some pretty good rhythm. But through some really creative people’s magic, they even brought Poncho and Da Ruba Girl to the party! What could be better? And the people at TalkShopLive worked so hard to figure out how we can make world premiering this video a part of tonight’s stuff.”
 
Next week, Chesney joins Gayle King on “CBS Mornings,” as well as Joe Torre for “NBC Nightly News” segment “Great Americans.” As “Carry On” crests the top of the charts and the Original Vibe Room 2027 Tour tickets for 19 stadium shows go on sale, Silver Sands Marina arrives with a flourish and a lot of fun.
 
“It’s been three years since I put out a record, and we’ve got new music to play,” Chesney says. “This has been such a creative time for me and the band, and we’re loving every moment. If it’s this much fun now, I can’t imagine what next year’s tour is gonna be like – because these songs are landing now, it’s going to be crazy when we get to Tampa. Just the way we like it.”

Kenny's SILVER SANDS MARINA Massive Media Sweep Starts w "TODAY" Concert 9-17

As someone who loves songs, making music and creating a soundtrack for how life is lived by real people, Kenny Chesney has created an indelible body of work. With Silver Sands Marina, his 21st studio album, approaching its Sept. 25th release date, the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar is getting ready to take the music – and stories – to New York for a media gauntlet that gets inside the songs, the process and heart of what became an actual album.
 
Three years and myriad songs in the making, the man Wall Street Journal crowned “The King of the Road” will kick things off September 17 on the Plaza at Rockefeller Center as part of “TODAY”’s Citi Concert Series.
 
“When you make a record and you take your time, it takes you places you might not go otherwise,” Chesney says of the album. “We recut ‘Carry On,’ the first single because this version felt like the moment we’re living in. ‘Silver Sands Marina’ and ‘Remember Me That Way’ came in later, and changed the shape of what this album is…
 
“So, it’s great to be able to play a few of these songs on the plaza, to really give people this music. At home, in the streets, wherever people are, we’re going to be able to share these songs live – and exchange that energy that we all live for.”
 
From there, he heads downtown to visit “The View.” A favorite of the table, he’s going to talk about where some of the songs came from, some of the guests and where he’s heading in 2027. It will make for lively conversation as there’s plenty to unpack before Silver Sands Marina arrives. Then onto ESPN for several midafternoon shows, as well as taping a special talk with E Street Radio.
 
“These songs hit on so many levels, it’s great to be able to talk about what we’re doing at all these different shows. I love the women at ‘The View,’ who are smart and fun, who get out there and live, so they come at the music from that place. I was honored to be asked to visit E Street Radio because I respect what Bruce shares with his people, that same passion and embracing life no matter what. Then everyone at ESPN speaks to that place in me that always says, ‘Nothing brings people together like sports and music,’ which is true.”

After the response to his first appearance, Chesney returns to TalkShopLive for a conversation on the 17th. Tune in at 8pm Eastern, he will have a more in-depth conversation, as well as take questions from people watching. Watch the conversation HERE.
 
Next week, Chesney joins “CBS Mornings” with Gayle King for a meaningful sit-down. He will also appear as part of Tom Llamas’ “Great Americans” series for “NBC Nightly News,” which looks at individuals who’ve bettered their communities and world. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Michael Phelps, retired astronaut Eileen Collins, John Grisham and more have taken part.
 
The Country Music Hall of Fame member will also be part of Howard Stern’s Howard 100 channel. On Sept. 23, the station will be slicing bits of an extended interview into their programming to celebrate Silver Sands Marina’s release.

“You can have a lot of conversations about the same thing, and they’re often not alike,” Chesney says. “When I looked at the schedule, I thought ‘This is a lot’; but I know when I start doing the actual conversations, I’m always amazed at what I learn about the songs and records, hearing what these people heard and experienced. I also think different people care about different things, so each of these shows lets this music land how it needs to for all the people.”

MIRANDA LAMBERT SCORES SEVEN CMA NOMINATIONS ARTIST ** PRODUCER ** SONGWRITER

Miranda Lambert, the Texas-born songwriting force and high-impact performer, received seven nominations for “The 60th Annual CMA Awards,” making her the second-most nominated artist for 2026 and increasing her tally as the most-nominated female artist of all time with 70 career nods. Beyond making history with her record-breaking 19th Female Vocalist of the Year nomination, she received a pair of Musical Event nominations for the double GRAMMY nominated “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton and the recently released “Horses and Divorces” with Kacey Musgraves.
 
“When they told me it was the record, I was a little emotional,” Lambert admits. “Having always challenged myself to reach further, write or find better songs – to really make music that spoke to other women where they were, but anyone wherever, however they were living their life and needed a song to sing – it hit me both how long I’ve been doing this and how many great songs I’ve been blessed to be a part of. It’s the greatest honor to know this music hits people in the heart.”
 
Beyond her own music, Lambert’s role as co-writer and co-producer for Ella Langley yielded not only 2026’s biggest song in any genre, “Choosin’ Texas,” but it helped Langley become this year’s most-nominated artist overall. Lambert shares nominations in the Album category for Dandelion and Single for both “Choosin’ Texas” and “Be Her” with Langley and fellow producer Ben West. Lambert also receives a Song of the Year nomination for co-writing “Choosin’ Texas” with Langley, Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor.

“I still have a hard time believing that the thing I started doing because I loved it became my career,” marveled Lambert following this morning’s announcement. “After all these years, getting to have firsts – to step into something new, help another artist bring their vision to life and discover something I haven’t done before – keeps it exciting and inspiring for me. These nominations are special because they remind me there are still ways to be inspired and help create something I’m proud of with people I believe in.”
 
Having started singing in bars as a 16-year-old in braids, Lambert built her swagger-forward country on songwriter-driven legends including Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and David Allan Coe, while absorbing the detailed emotional storytelling of John Prine, Guy Clark and Emmylou Harris. The most-awarded woman in CMA history, Lambert forged a style that merged honest Texas bar-room aesthetics with a sensitivity to hard places that gave her headlong bravado real meaning.
 
Having won two Album of the Year Awards – 2010 for Revolution and 2014 for Platinum, as well as Song and Single of the Year among plenty, keeping her focus on the music has driven the woman who created the Pistol Annies with friends Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley, recorded myriad duets with everyone from Loretta Lynn and Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood to Prine, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, as well as Don Henley and Mick Jagger, then started Big Loud Texas with friend Jon Randall to establish a label for Texas artists to protect their roots and establish careers that would sustain them.
 
And with all that, she’s just finished Crisco, inspired by the disco-meets-country boom that defined a slice of Texas country in the ‘70s and ‘80s. The eagerly anticipated Oct. 2 release, which features the Stapleton duet plus “Sunset Marquis,” the theme from the documentary “If These Walls Could Rock” about the legendary hotel, was one of The New York Times’ “34 Albums and Shows We’re Looking Forward to This Fall” selections. Lead critic Jon Pareles praised the album, “which leans toward the retro and the countrypolitan, complete with string arrangements, for a knowingly nostalgic sound and attitude.”
 
The 60th annual CMA Awards will broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, Disney+ and next day on Hulu.

ACM SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR NOMINEE BLAKE PENDERGRASS NOTCHES FIFTH NO. 1 WITH “AIN’T A BAD LIFE”

ACM Awards’ Songwriter of the Year nominee Blake Pendergrass notches his fifth No. 1 single with his co-penned “Ain’t A Bad Life,” recorded by Thomas Rhett featuring Jordan Davis. The achievement follows a string of recent chart-toppers, including Jelly Roll’s “Heart of Stone,” Morgan Wallen’s “20 Cigarettes,” “I Got Better,” and “Just In Case,” with the latter holding the top spot on country radio for four consecutive weeks.

Tonight, Pendergrass will celebrate his first CMA Triple Play Award for “Just In Case,” “Heart of Stone,” and “I Got Better.”

“This entire last week has felt surreal,” says the man Wallen praised as “one of the best songwriters in Nashville.” “So many of my mentors, heroes and friends have experienced these firsts, and I’m fortunate to have such great champions in this town who continue to give me great advice along the way. The latest being: to sit in this moment as the kid arriving at Belmont with just two songs ever written to his name.”

Pendergrass’s momentum is palpable, with another hit penned by the North Carolina native sitting inside the Top 10, “Brunette,” recorded by ACM Top New Male nominee Tucker Wetmore, while also ranking inside the Top 5 of MusicRow Magazine’s Top Songwriter chart. The Tennessean praises Pendergrass’s “stunning run,” while Billboard recognizes the young writer on its Hot 100 Songwriters and Country Songwriters charts. His hits have now amassed more than one billion streams.

His recent work includes writing credits on seven tracks from Jelly Roll’s GRAMMY-winning album Beautifully Broken and contributions to two 2025 CMA Album of the Year nominees, including 15 songs on Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem and Lainey Wilson’s award-winning album Whirlwind. Pendergrass is also a 2025 MusicRow Awards nominee for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year and was named Country Credits’ Songwriter of the Year 2025.

Miranda Lambert Lands 8: Artist, Writer and Producer ACM Noms

Multihyphenate superstar Miranda Lambert, the most-decorated artist in Academy of Country Music history, earned eight nominations for the upcoming 61st ACM Awards, the second highest tally of any artist. 
 
“Honored to wake up and be among the most nominated for the ACM Awards,” Lambert shares. “It’s always special to be recognized and it’s even better when it’s alongside friends and heroes.” 

She received her 18th nomination for Female Artist of the Year as well as her ninth nomination for Song of the Year and 16th total nomination (including Artist and Songwriter credits) in the category.
 
“You’d have to look pretty far and wide to find anyone in music who has been as consistently good or eternally enjoyable as Miranda Lambert,” remarks Rolling Stone. “Almost 20 years into her run, she’s defined her career by always going her own way, both musically and lyrically.”
 
In addition to her own artistry, Lambert is also nominated for her work as both a songwriter and a producer, demonstrating her ongoing impact across the genre. “Choosin’ Texas,” the record-setting hit recorded by Ella Langley, earns nods for Lambert in both the Song and Single of the Year categories as the track’s co-writer and producer.
 
“Miranda held down women in country on a mainstream level for a decade and change; this is as much a win for her legacy as it is for Ella’s still-growing stardom,” shares Billboard of the song, continuing, “while she continues to make music of her own – she was nominated for a GRAMMY this year – she definitely seems to be thriving behind the scenes, including co-running Big Loud Texas. This is validation for her influence, her talent and underrated ability as a songwriter.”
 
Additionally, Lambert is honored for her “A Song to Sing” duet with longtime friend and collaborator Chris Stapleton, earning nods in the Song, Music Event and Visual Media of the Year categories for their co-write.
 
“At a time when country is so many things, Lambert and Stapleton seem both a true north and a hinge for the future of the same Outlaw culture Waylon and Willie conjured,” notes POLLSTAR. “Musically robust, they want to make actual country music with their roots firmly planted, but with the ability to create on their terms. It’s not fighting Music Row as much as fighting for greatness.”
 
Fittingly for year where four women lead the nomination counts, Lambert also earned a Music Event of the Year nod for her female-empowered collaboration with Reba McEntire and Lainey Wilson, “Trailblazer.”
 
“Wilson is just about inarguably the best thing to happen to country music since Miranda Lambert, who in turn was one of the best things to happen since Reba. So it felt intuitively natural – but by no means commercially inevitable – when those three teamed up,” declares Variety of the song praised by Music Row as “an utterly historic collaboration among three generations of female country excellence.”
 
The 61st ACM Awards will stream live exclusively for a global audience across 240+ countries and territories on Prime Video on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT from the world-renowned MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fans will also be able to watch the broadcast on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, as well as in the Amazon Music app.
 
Tickets for the 61st ACM Awards and ACM Awards week events are available for purchase on AXS.com, offering fans exclusive entry into a nonstop weekend packed with performances by their favorite Country stars.

Paul Cauthen Brings "Texas Swagger" to "The Kelly Clarkson Show"

To celebrate the release of his latest album Book of Paul, available now via Velvet Rose Records/Thirty Tigers, country iconoclast Paul Cauthen performed “Texas Swagger” on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on Friday, April 3. Watch his performance Below and listen to Book of Paul HERE.
 
With Book of Paul, Cauthen continues both his streak of against-the-grain attitude, and his genuine fascination with spiritual truth. But at this point in his career, he’s less interested in the wild-eyed abandon of revival, and more in his own path. A path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud, and with two middle fingers in the air. “I wanted to take it back to my roots and where it all began in East Texas,” he says.
 
And “Texas Swagger,” with its bronc-bucking beat, dark twang and barely contained sense of danger, serves as a mission statement:
 
“If all else fails, just remember where you came from,” Cauthen proclaims, noting he co-wrote the track with Rob Ragosta and Sam Martinez, who also produced. “We got it hot and cooking, put a little drumbeat on it, built that son of a bitch in 30 minutes. I was like ‘Alright, last time I felt like this was ‘Cocaine Country Dancing.’ It’s got a really fierce feel to it. It’s danceable as shit.”
 
With his nearly sold-out Tonkin’ ‘N Tejas Tour, Cauthen has added stops at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Sept. 11 and Denver’s The Mission Ballroom on Oct. 9. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit paulcauthenmusic.com.

Paul Cauthen Tour Dates:
April 18  |  Kalispell, MT  | Majestic Valley Arena
July 11 | Saint Paul, MN | Minnesota Country Club Festival
July 16  |  Jackson, WY  |  Snow King Mountain
Sept. 11  |  Nashville, TN  |  Ryman Auditorium
Sept. 19 | Pryor, OK | Born & Raised Festival
Oct. 9  |  Denver, CO  |  The Mission Ballroom
 
About Paul Cauthen
Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. And for country provocateur Paul Cauthen, that code is simple. Always bet on yourself. A singer-songwriter with a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the East Texas native spent two decades clawing his way through the country underground, embodying the independent spirit with a monolithic Big Velvet vocal. Fusing classic-country grit, gospel power and a rhinestoned rock edge, four previous albums proclaimed his singular style with a booming baritone and near-biblical swagger. Taught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen Texas attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. Cauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks and Lana Del Rey. With favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “Fuck You Money” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey on “Last Of My Kind,” he counts over 442 million global streams. Cauthen’s fifth album, Book of Paul, takes him further down his path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud and with two middle fingers in the air. Co-writing 12 of 13 tracks, the troubadour confesses to his wild side and wrestles with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise. For more information, visit paulcauthenmusic.com.

FARMER WANTS A WIFE - Meet the 27 Women Searching for Love in Season Four, Premiering Tuesday, 4/21 at 8/7c on FOX

Love is back in the fields and this time, it’s more intimate, more intense and more unpredictable than ever. Farmer Wants a Wife is the most successful dating show in the world, airing in 32 countries and resulting in 250 marriages and more than 500 children. Hosted by actor and author Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Season Four introduces three new farmers — Braden Pridemore, Brett Maverick, and Sean Cavanaugh — who are ready to put their hearts and their livelihoods on the line in the ultimate search for lasting love. 
 
Season Four strips the experience down to the roots, focusing on fewer farmers and deeper connections as a new group of single women leave behind city comforts for muddy boots, early mornings and the promise of forever. Throughout the season, the farmers and their daters come together for high-stakes mixer events, including a speed dating event in Nashville, Tennessee and a glamorous gathering at Laurel Park Racetrack in Laurel, Maryland. 
 
This season doesn’t stop at romance—it raises the emotional bar with unexpected twists. One bold woman makes a shocking decision to leave her matched farmer to pursue another. At the very first group event, the farmers must also decide whether to welcome an extra woman into the mix who has been hand-picked by their families, adding even more pressure and potential heartbreak. With more women vying for their attention than ever before, the farmers face difficult choices from the start. New relationship tests push them further than they’ve gone before, including a surprise date designed by the ladies to explore intimacy and a compatibility test that reveals whether couples truly align in their values and long-term goals. As the women experience the realities of farm life, some connections will bloom, others will wither on the vine and only a few will prove strong enough to weather the demands of love in the country.
 
Farmer Wants a Wife is produced by Eureka Productions. Rikkie Proost, Sonya Wilkes and Jayne Parker serve as executive producers. David Tibballs serves as an executive producer and the showrunner of the series.

Eric Church Performed "Bleed On Paper" on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Ahead of Friday's Live Track Release

Eric Church closed out the 2025 leg of his critically acclaimed Free The Machine Tour this past weekend in Los Angeles, delivering the kind of boundary-pushing live spectacle fans have come to expect from the 11-time GRAMMY nominee – including a nod this year for Best Contemporary Country Album with his latest, Evangeline vs. The Machine. The finale, packed with deep cuts, fan favorites, and the tour’s signature immersive production, brought an exclamation point to a year of sold-out arena stops that drew raves from critics and fans alike.
 
The Inglewood show capped a run that saw Church redefine what a modern arena tour can be – from unpredictable audibles, like bringing longtime vocal partner Joanna Cotten out for a surprise “Drowning Man” setlist addition late in the show or adding a trombone solo from Roy Agee before “Knives of New Orleans,” to the cinematic production that tells the visual story of Evangeline vs. The Machine from start to finish as Church brings the songs to life. Whether backed by 24 orchestral musicians, the original Eric Church Band, or standing alone with just his guitar, Free The Machine spotlights Church at his most daring. And with 24 newly added-dates on sale now via EricChurch.com, fans won’t have to wait long for more: Free The Machine resumes in January.
 
The new year also brings a unique offering from the man Rolling Stone celebrates for creating “a record that is both dazzling and challenging, and creates a listening experience that upends the idea of what country music is,” as Evangeline vs. The Machine: Comes Alive releases exclusively in IMAX theaters across the U.S. and Canada for limited showings on Wednesday, Feb. 11 & Saturday, Feb. 14. A full list of locations is available via IMAX.com/EricChurch along with tickets to the limited engagement on sale now.
 
Filmed across two nights at The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tenn., the concert film is also complimented by a 19-track live album, Evangeline vs. The Machine: Comes Alive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) arriving Friday, Feb. 13 and available for pre-order / pre-save HERE. In addition to preview tracks “Desperate Man (Live At The Pinnacle, Nashville, TN / May 24, 2025)” available HERE and “Knives Of New Orleans (Live At The Pinnacle, Nashville, TN / May 24, 2025)” available HERE, “Bleed On Paper (Live At The Pinnacle, Nashville, TN / May 24, 2025)” arrives this Friday, Nov. 21. Pre-order / pre-save HERE.
 
Church joined ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last night (Nov. 17) to preview the track, joined onstage by all 24 musicians from both the Free The Machine Tour and the live recording. Watch Below.

Howard Jones continues his global 40th anniversary tour with dates in the United Kingdom and then Europe beginning on November 12th. The United States tour dates in September were met with rave reviews from the media with OC Music News declaring, “Howard Jones must be protected at all costs…Jones is truly an amazing artist…” and Strange Carolinas avowing, “The show was phenomenal…Howard Jones sounded great and his synth playing was top-notch.” The Vinyl District added, “The 16-song setlist was a masterclass in career-spanning excellence...” Please see below for the remaining global itinerary. 

Howard Jones’ 1985 album, DREAM INTO ACTION, peaked at #2 in the UK charts and cracked the US Top 10. It went on to spawn global hit singles, “Things Can Only Get Better” (which experienced a resurgence after being featured on an episode of Netflix’s Stranger Things) and “No One is to Blame” as well as “Life in One Day” and “Like to Get to Know You Well”.

1985 was also the year Jones performed at Live Aid, Wembley Stadium, alongside such legendary acts as David Bowie, Paul McCartney, and Phil Collins. Earlier that same year in February, Jones performed live, keytar in hand, at the Grammy Awards from L.A.’s Shrine Auditorium with Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock and Thomas Dolby as part of the “Synthesizer Showdown,” performing a medley of their hits. 

Electronic music pioneer Howard Jones has been a constant presence on the international touring scene for the past four decades, playing live in a number of different configurations including intimate solo shows and dates with his full high-tech band set-up. He first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983, with his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers with “New Song”. His first two albums HUMAN’S LIB and DREAM INTO ACTION were worldwide hits. HUMAN’S LIB reached #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits “New Song,” and “What Is Love?” In 1985, Jones released the follow-up, DREAM INTO ACTION, which quickly became a Top Ten Platinum album in the United States and featured the smashes: “Things Can Only Get Better,” “Life In One Day,” “No One Is To Blame,” and “Like To Get To Know You Well.”  

  

Howard Jones has sold upwards of 10 million albums worldwide and continues to make new music and tour the world. Jones has performed on NBC’s top-rated morning and nighttime shows respectively, Today and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. His ubiquitous hits can be heard in such high-profile television series and films such as “Stranger Things,” “Breaking Bad,” “Watchmen,” “The Carrie Diaries”, “Superstore” and “Bumblebee”. Howard Jones’ most recent studio album is DIALOGUE, which was released in September, 2022. DIALOGUE is the third album in a trilogy of electronic releases from Jones with multi-media project ENGAGE coming out in 2015 and studio album TRANSFORM out in 2019. DIALOGUE garnered serious coverage in outlets such as Spin, Stereogum and more.

In addition to headlining their own sold-out shows from coast to coast at iconic venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Ryman Auditorium, plus performing at marquee festivals Bonnaroo, Stagecoach, Download and more, the six-piece was also personally selected to open The Rolling Stones’ Chicago stadium show. The band’s highly-anticipated seventh studio album Whomp Whack Thunder is available now via the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records, with lead single “Time Bomb” climbing the Active Rock radio charts. Their previous project, Tornillo, featured the No. 17 most-played Americana song of 2022, “John Wayne,” and followed breakthrough album Whiskey Myers, which debuted at No. 1 on both the Country and Americana/Folk sales charts, at No. 2 on the Rock chart and No. 6 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart (No. 3 among new releases).

USA Today describes their sound as “a riff-heavy blend of Southern rock and gritty country that has earned comparisons to the Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin,” with Rolling Stone noting “it’s the seminal combination of twang and crunchy rock & roll guitars that hits a perfect sweet spot.”

WATCH Drowning Pool Perform “Bodies” with Offset on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” ​   

Last night, multi-platinum superstar Offset joined hard rockers Drowning Pool to perform his genre-crossing smash single “Bodies” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

 

Joined by Atlanta standout J.I.D and hit-making producer BNYX®, Offset tore into the hard-rocking “Bodies” from his new KIARI:OFFSET deluxe album — but instead of sampling the iconic whispered hook and grinding guitar from Drowning Pool’s 2001 nü-metal hit of the same name, they had the real thing. Watch the instantly legendary performance below.

 

Drowning Pool is officially back in the studio, crafting a brand-new EP set for release in 2026 via SBG Records. This highly anticipated project will mark the next chapter in the band’s legacy as they gear up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album, Sinner.

 

Since its release in 2001, Sinner has become a defining record in modern rock, featuring the anthemic hit “Bodies,” which remains a cultural staple across radio, sports arenas, and entertainment to this day. With the 25-year milestone approaching, Drowning Pool is ready to honor their history while pushing their sound forward.

 

The forthcoming EP will be a powerful reminder of why Drowning Pool remains one of rock’s most enduring acts.

 

Further details on the EP, anniversary celebrations, and touring plans will be announced in the coming months.

Known for their iconic anthem “Bodies,” Drowning Pool needs no introduction. This breakout single propelled them to international recognition, leaving an indelible mark on the nu metal landscape. The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.

 

Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.

 

Yet, Drowning Pool’s story is not just about music; it’s a testament to enduring friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

 

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2025 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.
