Multi-platinum global superstar Lainey Wilson’s new song, “Kinda Love It,” is out today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Listen HERE and watch the official music video BELOW.

Written by Wilson, John Mayer, Kid Harpoon and Jon Decious, the infectious, upbeat track explores new sonic territory for Wilson and captures the thrill of being swept up in an exciting, yet unpredictable romance.

The release adds to yet another landmark year for the 12x CMA-winner and reigning Entertainer of the Year, who will return to host the 60th Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 18. This is Wilson’s third time hosting following her solo debut last year (the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991) and her first appearance in 2024 with Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson is also nominated in three categories this year—Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Single of the Year (“Somewhere Over Laredo”)—and recently received the CMA International Artist Achievement Award.

Additionally, Wilson will join Harry Styles for four shows at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium in May, while her single, “Phone, Keys, Wallet” (feat. John Mayer on guitar), is currently top 15 at country radio and continuing to climb.

Earlier this year, Wilson released two additional tracks ("Younger You" with Miley Cyrus and "Can't Sit Still"), joined Chris Stapleton for a run of stadium shows and was the subject of an in-depth Netflix documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool (watch HERE). Wilson also made her film acting debut in Universal's adaptation of Colleen Hoover's Reminders of Him, before appearing in season two of Netfllix's sitcom, Leanne.

The Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter, who has scored nine #1 hits including “4x4xU” (3x Platinum), “Watermelon Moonshine” (3x Platinum) and “Heart Like A Truck” (4x Platinum), 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 a new collaboration with MacKenzie-Childs, her fifth collection with Wrangler and her own boot (Golden West Boots) and jewelry lines (The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection).

DUSTIN LYNCH CALLS UP ASHLEY COOKE FOR “HOW YOU BEEN”

October 2, 2026

MULTI-PLATINUM, 10x #1 hitmaker Dustin Lynch teams up with Ashley Cooke on “How You Been,” an up-tempo country duet that turns one phone call into a rush of summer memories. Available everywhere today, listen BELOW.

Described by Lynch as a “chapter 2” to his 4X PLATINUM smash “Thinking ’Bout You,” “How You Been” finds an old connection suddenly back on the line, reopening a chapter neither side may have completely left behind. Ferris wheel first kisses, moonlit nights and a summer in Myrtle Beach come flooding back as a casual check-in starts sounding more like an invitation to pick up where they left off.

“I’m so happy to finally have a song out with Ashley. She sounds incredible on ‘How You Been,’ and from the first time I heard it, it felt like the perfect song for us to do together,” shares Lynch. “To me, it feels like chapter two of ‘Thinking ’Bout You.’ It’s that idea of reconnecting with somebody from your past and realizing those memories might still mean something to both of you. Ashley brings so much personality to her side of the song, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

“The second I heard this song, I was beyond excited Dustin asked me to be a part of it,” shares Cooke.“Not only is it an absolutely infectious melodically, but lyrically it packs a punch and has that clever double entendre I really love in a song. It’s that ‘invisible string’ story in a way that feels fun and flirty. Great song and even better duet partner, what more could you ask for?”

Matching the song’s forward momentum, “How You Been” trades studio gloss for an up-tempo, driving arrangement with the feel of a full band in the room. Lynch and Cooke play both sides of the conversation, their vocals bringing a lived-in ease to a story that hangs on a deceptively simple question: if the memories are still this vivid, how far away is the past really?

“How You Been” offers another look at Lynch’s seventh studio album, Clean Slate, arriving October 30 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Across 12 tracks, the album finds Lynch taking stock of where he’s been and where he wants to go next, exploring love from every angle – from new possibilities and hard-earned perspective to heartbreak, second chances and the connections that refuse to disappear.

Across 12 tracks, Lynch takes stock of where he’s been and where he’s headed, exploring love, heartbreak, hard-earned perspective and the moments worth holding onto while staying true to the sound that has defined his career.

COLIN STOUGH & KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD PLUG IN FOR “BONE DRY (REVISITED)” – OUT NOW

October 2, 2026

Colin Stough plugs “Bone Dry” back in alongside blues-rock icon Kenny Wayne Shepherd with “Bone Dry (Revisited),” available everywhere today. Listen BELOW.

Originally released in July as one of Stough’s most stripped-down recordings to date, “Bone Dry” found the Mississippi native with nothing left between his gravel-worn vocal and the aftermath of a relationship that took everything out of him. Now, Stough and Shepherd revisit that heartbreak from the other side of the amplifier, giving the song an electric edge while leaving its emotional core exposed.

“Getting to work with Kenny Wayne Shepherd on ‘Bone Dry’ was honestly pretty surreal for me,” shares Stough. “I’ve been a fan of his music for a long time, so having him bring his guitar and his sound to a song that means a lot to me was something I’ll never forget. He took the song to a whole different level, and I’m really proud of what we made together.”

“Colin has been so great to work with. He knows exactly what he wants with his music. I understand just how unusual it is for someone his age to possess that kind of maturity and drive. He has exceptional musical instincts and is such a great writer, singer, guitarist, and he has a lot of depth in his musical arsenal to draw from. It’s been a lot of fun working with him and I’m excited to see what we come up with next,” shares Shepherd.

Written by Stough, Gavin Lucas and Jackson Inman, “Bone Dry” uses the image of a river run dry to capture the point after heartbreak when even the tears are gone. Cracked earth, empty skies and memories of what once flowed freely frame a breakup that leaves Stough drained rather than angry. On “Bone Dry (Revisited),” Shepherd’s unmistakable guitar enters that landscape, answering Stough’s weathered vocal and bringing new voltage to a song built around having nothing left to give.

The collaboration also brings together two artists whose musical roots meet naturally across Southern rock, country and blues. A multi-Platinum blues-rock guitarist with six GRAMMY nominations, Shepherd has notched a string of No. 1 blues albums and No. 1 mainstream rock singles across his career. Raised on the Mississippi-Alabama line, Stough grew up absorbing the sounds of artists including The Allman Brothers and has increasingly pushed his own music toward the heavier edges of his influences. With Shepherd joining him on “Bone Dry (Revisited),” the song stretches further into that blues-rock lineage without losing the raw country storytelling at its center.

About Colin Stough
Born and raised on the Mississippi-Alabama line, 21-year-old Colin Stough was brought up on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age eight, later trading prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride, including a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings/BMG Nashville and breakout songs like “Sober,” “‘Til The Day One Does” and the hard-edged anthem “White Trash.” With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of more than 800K across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home offer a no-frills portrait of a young man navigating life with Southern grit, while releases including “White Trash,” “20 Bucks,” “Best For You,” “21 Year Old Man Blues,” “Trippin’” and “Bone Dry” continue to showcase both the power and vulnerability of his songwriting. His latest, “Bone Dry (Revisited),” finds Stough joining forces with blues-rock icon Kenny Wayne Shepherd for an electrified new take on his stripped-down heartbreak ballad. On the road, he has opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White and Kidd G as he continues to build his audience one show at a time. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn't chasing trends. He's telling the underdog's truth, one song at a time.

About Chayce Beckham:

JOHN MORGAN ADDS FALL TOUR DATES AND RELEASES NEW SONG "CRY BABY"

September 25, 2026

Six time #1 hitmaker John Morgan is releasing his newest track, “Cry Baby.” The raw lovesong is written by John Morgan, Lydia Vaughn, Kurt Allison, and Tully Kennedy and produced by John Morgan and Brent Anderson. Listen to “Cry Baby” Below.

The country star is also adding fall dates to his touring schedule as his latest single “Kid Myself” is eyeing the top of the country airplay charts. After wrapping Brantley Gilbert’s Real American Tour, Morgan is adding ten headlining shows beginning November 12 in Myrtle Beach, SC and ending on December 5 in Starkville, MS. Tickets are on sale now and fans can buy tickets HERE.

On his self-aware new song "Cry Baby," John Morgan turns the mirror on himself. He owns up to the moments he's let his temper get the better of him — and the guilt that follows when he sees the hurt he's caused reflected in someone he loves. It's a vulnerable, grown kind of love song, less about grand romantic gestures and more about the harder work of accountability, growth, and trying to be better for the person who's stuck by him. With his signature blend of grit and sincerity, Morgan delivers a heartfelt plea that balances toughness with tenderness — proof that real strength is admitting when you're wrong.

Morgan is spending this fall touring, not only on Brantley Gilbert’s Real American Tour, but headlining his own dates with support from Erin Kinsey and Chris Ryan. Tickets are currently on sale HERE.

His songs have also been recorded by Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch and Thomas Rhett. After years behind the scenes, John’s breakout moment came with his debut single “Friends Like That (feat.

CRAIG MORGAN’S UPCOMING ALBUM MY COUNTRY CELEBRATES THE HEART, SOUL AND SOUND OF AMERICA

September 18, 2026

Long before his more than two decades of success as a country-music artist, Craig Morgan answered a higher calling — serving our country in the United States Army and Army Reserve. During America’s 250th birthday year, Craig will release My Country, a musical celebration of our great nation as well as the genre that speaks to the soul of its people. Available on November 6 ahead of Veterans Day, Craig’s upcoming 11-song album — My Country (BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville) — displays his unwavering patriotism for the Stars and Stripes with songs like “Long May You Wave” and honors his late friend, Toby Keith, with a passionate and personal cover of “American Soldier.”

Craig’s comprehensive catalog has formed the soundtrack of our lives and his newest song, “I’m Country Music,” available today ahead of the album’s release is no exception. The song, which Craig has previewed in concert and on the Opry stage, pays tribute to die-hard music fans and all the ways country music speaks to our hearts, hopes, fears, tears, and celebrations.

AVAILABLE TODAY: Stream Craig Morgan’s track “I’m Country Music”
AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 6: Pre-Save/Add/Order Craig Morgan’s album My Country HERE

“This new album brings together two things I love - my country and country music - and it’s created to celebrate both,” shares Craig. “You’ve been hearing ‘I’m Country Music’ in my shows lately and I’m excited to finally release it today. And I’m privileged too to have the blessing of my friend Toby Keith’s family to record and release my own version of his iconic song, ‘American Soldier,’ on the project too. I can’t wait for everyone to listen!”

Craig, who currently serves in the Army Reserve, continues to give back to our military veterans. Prior to his headlining show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, November 7, the Grand Ole Opry member will host Craig Morgan’s Veterans Day 5K, supported by Humana, that morning at the Grand Ole Opry House.

OUT NOW: DREW BALDRIDGE’S FARM FAITH FAMILY

September 18, 2026

A project years in the making, Drew Baldridge’s highly anticipated album, FARM FAITH FAMILY, is officially out today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Listen Below.

Nearly fifteen years after arriving in Nashville with a dream and lots of determination, Baldridge is entering a new chapter with FARM FAITH FAMILY, his third full-length album and first release on BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. The 16-track project is a deeply personal reflection of the life he has built along the way - one shaped by music, family, faith, farming, entrepreneurship and an unwavering belief in himself.

For Baldridge, the album represents more than a career milestone. It is the culmination of more than a decade of persistence, sacrifice and independence, arriving at a moment when the singer-songwriter finally has a team behind him that shares his vision and believes in the music as much as he does.

“It’s overwhelming to think about sometimes,” said Baldridge. “I’ve been working toward this moment for almost 15 years, which is crazy to think about. In some ways, it feels like I just moved to Nashville, and in other ways, it feels like I’ve been here forever. This album came together so organically because it’s a true reflection of who I am and the life I’ve built. I’m a dad, a husband, a musician, a songwriter, a farmer, a brother, a son, an entrepreneur and so much more. FARM FAITH FAMILY brings all of those pieces of my life together in three chapters that really represent the pillars of who I am.”

Structured around those three pillars, FARM FAITH FAMILY takes listeners through the experiences and values that have shaped Baldridge both personally and professionally. Tracks 1–4 comprise FARM, tracks 5–11 make up FAITH, and tracks 12–16 complete the album with FAMILY. Together, the three chapters offer an intimate portrait of an artist who has remained grounded in where he came from while continuing to push toward where he wants to go.

Baldridge co-wrote 14 of the album’s 16 tracks, further cementing the project as his most personal and authentic body of work to date. The album brings together a stellar collection of collaborators, including two of country music’s acclaimed rising stars, Anne Wilson and Emily Ann Roberts, alongside contributions from some of Nashville’s most accomplished songwriters, including GRAMMY-nominated writers Luke Combs, Laura Veltz, Tyler Hubbard, Seth Mosley, Rhett Akins and Tim Nichols.

After years of building a devoted fanbase independently, he has continued to prove the power of his music and his connection with fans. His self-funded single “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” became a career-defining success, reaching No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase country chart and ultimately becoming RIAA Platinum-certified streaming favorite, demonstrating the strength of an artist who has built his career on his own terms.

Now, with FARM FAITH FAMILY, Baldridge is bringing that same independent spirit into a new era.

He will kick off the album release weekend with The BIG Baldridge and Bonfire Show tomorrow, September 19, in Patoka, IL. Now in its fourth year, the annual festival brings live music, friends and community together in the small town where Baldridge was raised, creating a one-of-a-kind party on the farm that celebrates the people and place that helped shape him. The celebration comes just days before a national TV appearance when Baldridge performs on Live with Kelly and Mark on September 23 before returning to Nashville to take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry that evening, followed by a special album listening event celebrating FARM FAITH FAMILY.

About Drew Baldridge:
Drew Baldridge continues to give fans exactly what they’ve been asking for: a steady stream of authentic country music rooted in the themes that define him — farm, faith and family. His 16-track project, FARM FAITH FAMILY, is out now.

The new chapter builds on the momentum of Baldridge’s RIAA Platinum-certified breakthrough, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” which reached No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart and No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The success made him the only self-funded artist to debut at No. 1 on Mediabase and the highest-charting independent artist in the history of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The song has generated more than 2 billion streams and impressions and was recognized by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) as one of its prestigious “10 Songs I Wish I’d Written.”

Baldridge is spending 2026 on the road headlining his FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour while also joining Cody Johnson and Luke Bryan on select dates. Following recent tours across Australia, the U.K. and Europe — both as a headliner and opening for Jelly Roll — he continues to expand his global audience while earning industry recognition, including being named a CRS New Faces of Country Music honoree and MusicRow’s 2025 Independent Artist of the Year.

JADE EAGLESON & MIDLAND ARE “COMING SOON TO A HONKY TONK NEAR YOU” – OUT NOW

September 17, 2026

Jade Eagleson has never been interested in sanding down the edges of country music. Now, kicking off his next chapter with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the award-winning artist teams up with neotraditional country revivalists Midland on “Coming Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You,” doubling down on the sound he has championed from the start. Available everywhere HERE.

Co-written by Eagleson, Matt Roy, Casey Brown and Travis Wood, the rowdy heartbreak anthem sends a newly single cowboy on an all-night barroom tour rather than home to nurse a broken heart. Produced by Todd Clark and Wood, the track was deliberately built to feel at home in the kind of honky tonks that first shaped Eagleson’s musical instincts, bringing fiddle and pedal steel to the forefront. Midland’s unmistakable harmonies meet Eagleson’s twang, pairing two acts united by a shared reverence for classic country.

“We really wanted this song to feel like you’re right inside some honky tonk in the middle of nowhere,” shares Eagleson. “From the writing to the musicians we brought in and the way we produced it, every choice was made with that in mind. It was important to me that it sound like the country music I grew up playing and still love today.”

For Eagleson, that commitment to country tradition predates the accolades that have followed. Raised on a family farm, he stepped away from some of his duties there in 2017 to pursue music full time, carrying with him a sound rooted in the country music he had long loved and played. When he began making trips to Nashville nearly a decade ago, Eagleson recalled being politely turned away by some in the music industry because what he was doing was considered “too country.” Rather than change his sound, he made it his calling card.

That conviction has since taken Eagleson from the farm to more than 430 million global streams, 130 million YouTube views and five No. 1s at Canadian Country Radio, alongside multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications. His self-titled 2020 debut introduced an artist intent on bringing neo-traditional country forward on his own terms, while subsequent releases continued to build a career around the steel, fiddle and storytelling at the center of his musical identity. His momentum continues this year, with Eagleson earning CCMA Award nominations for Male Artist of the Year and Fans’ Choice.

“This song marks the beginning of my next chapter musically, and I couldn’t be more excited,” says Eagleson. “Having Midland on it makes it even more special. I’ve been a fan since day one, and there ain’t too many folks out there that can twang like them.”

“Jade is cut from the same cloth as us. He’s a troubadour and a honky tonk revivalist taking traditional country music into the modern era,” says Midland’s Mark Wystrach. “He hit us up to join him on this up-tempo bar banger, and it was a no-brainer. He’s our little brother and a helluva artist. Midland x Jade Eagleson are comin’ to a honky tonk near you soon!”

With “Coming Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You,” Eagleson lets the sound that got him here lead the charge into his next chapter.

About Jade Eagleson
Jade Eagleson built his career by betting on the kind of country music he knew long before he had the accolades to prove the bet paid off. Raised on a family farm, Eagleson stepped away from some of his duties there in 2017 to pursue a longtime dream of making music, setting his sights on bringing neo-traditional country back to the forefront. Early trips to Nashville found some politely turning him away for being “too country,” but Eagleson never saw that as a reason to change course. His 2018 debut “Got Your Name On It” became his breakthrough, with its music video surpassing 100 million views and the song becoming the first debut single by a Canadian artist to achieve PLATINUM certification. Since then, Eagleson has amassed more than 430 million global streams, including 215 million in the United States, alongside 130 million YouTube views, five No. 1s at Canadian Country Radio and multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications across three albums. That commitment to the music that first shaped him remains at the center of Eagleson’s work today. With steel, fiddle and country storytelling as guideposts, the 2025 CCMA Male Artist of the Year and four-time JUNO Award nominee enters his next chapter with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville not by leaving his roots behind, but by taking them to a bigger stage with his latest release “Coming Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You” with Midland.

About Midland
Footloose and free, working hard and drinking harder, always riding into the sunset or sunrise, GRAMMY-nominated trio Midland makes country music feel viscerally alive and timeless, with songs for people to drink, swing, love and, yes, lose to. Name inspired by a Dwight Yoakam song, the Dripping Springs, TX-born trio channels a distinctly 21st century post-modern traditionalism, recapturing that classic country essence through thick harmonies, steel guitars and a worn-in cool that has made their music a dive bar staple worldwide. Honed in barrooms, it’s a sound that’s been imitated but never duplicated since their now 5X PLATINUM, No. 1 “Drinkin’ Problem.”

For Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy and Jess Carson, music isn’t just something to play in your car. It envelopes their aesthetics, from the Nudie Cohn-inspired rhinestone suits, their Insolito Tequila and Kingsmaker cigar line to their album-focused musical explorations and lean, song-forward live presentation. From head-turning debut On The Rocks through the Billboard Top Country Albums chart-topping Let It Roll and into The Last Resort: Greetings From and Barely Blue, Midland has built a catalog that bridges conceptual ambition with roots-driven songwriting, continuing through projects like The Sonic Ranch and Live From The Palomino. Alongside “Drinkin’ Problem,” their catalog also includes PLATINUM-certified “Burn Out” and GOLD-certified favorites “Cheatin’ Songs,” “Make A Little” and “On The Rocks.” The band's commitment to the sounds, stories and places that define country music persists on Stages, out now via Blue Highway Records. Braiding Laurel Canyon country-rock, Texas outliers, and a shot of vintage Nashville, the critically acclaimed project pulls together the many phases of their journey, further staking their claim as one of country’s most engaging acts.

LANIE GARDNER RELEASES FADED POLAROIDS (DELUXE) VIA BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE

September 4, 2026

Lanie Gardner releases Faded Polaroids (Deluxe) today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, adding three new songs to the collection she released in 2025. Featuring “You Ain't My Daddy,” “Bye Bye,” and “Say It Sober,” the 21-track project brings resolution to a deeply personal chapter for Gardner while offering a glimpse at the woman and artist she's becoming. Listen to Faded Polaroids (Deluxe) below.

For Gardner, Faded Polaroids was always about more than a collection of songs. The album captured the lessons, heartbreaks and growing pains of her early twenties, but she felt the story needed one final chapter before she could move forward. The three new songs offer that resolution, reflecting the perspective Gardner gained after living through the experiences that shaped the original album.

“This project captures the lessons, heartbreaks, and growing pains of my early twenties while reflecting my desire to keep pushing the boundaries of country music,” Lanie shared. “Faded Polaroids (Deluxe) reveals, specifically, more of the woman I've become after living through those experiences and carrying the wisdom they left behind.”

The three new songs were written and recorded with Kristian Bush, who Gardner credits with helping bring her vision to life while allowing her to remain at the center of the creative process. Working without phones, distractions or outside comparisons, the pair and their team focused on building a world around the songs that felt entirely their own. The result is a collection that continues Gardner's genre-blurring approach while giving her room to explore a more evolved perspective.

At the center of the new collection is “Say It Sober,” which offers a more reflective side of Gardner following the unapologetic energy of “You Ain't My Daddy.” The track serves as another piece of the story Gardner wanted to finish telling before turning the page on the Faded Polaroids era.

Earlier this summer, Gardner gave fans the opportunity to choose which of the three new songs they wanted to hear first, with “You Ain't My Daddy” ultimately earning the most votes. The response reinforced the connection Gardner has built with an audience that sees itself in her honesty and independence. As she puts it, “The girls aren't taking the backseat anymore!” The song's message of supporting women rather than controlling them resonated not only with her female fans, but with listeners who connected to the idea.

Now, as Gardner brings Faded Polaroids to the road, the deluxe edition marks both an ending and a beginning. She recently wrapped select dates with Jordan Davis, continues Luke Bryan's “Word On The Street Tour”into the fall before joining Ty Myers. With the final chapter of Faded Polaroids now complete, Gardner is carrying its lessons forward while leaving behind the parts of herself that no longer fit.

DUSTIN LYNCH ANNOUNCES SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM CLEAN SLATE - AVAILABLE OCTOBER 30

September 2, 2026

MULTI-PLATINUM, 10x #1 hitmaker Dustin Lynch announces his seventh studio album, Clean Slate, arriving October 30 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. The 12-track collection is available to pre-add, pre-save and pre-order HERE.

Taking its name from the album’s introspective title track, Clean Slate finds Lynch looking at where he’s been, what he’s learned and where he wants to go next. Across 12 tracks, love comes into view from every angle: imagining the life you could build, recognizing the one worth coming home to, chasing a new spark, revisiting the one that got away and confronting the heartbreak that refuses to disappear at last call. There are nights made for cutting loose and hard-earned lessons that only come with time, all leading back to the possibility of clearing the slate and moving forward.

“There’s a lot of life on this record,” shares Lynch. “Falling for somebody, missing somebody, looking back at things you might do differently now, going out and having a damn good time, and figuring out what matters when everything else gets quiet. I’ve lived a lot of life since my first record, and I wanted this album to feel true to where I am today while still sounding like me.”

Lynch co-wrote seven of the album’s 12 tracks, working alongside Nashville songwriters including Zach Crowell, Justin Ebach, Josh Thompson, Jameson Rodgers, Brent Anderson, Hunter Phelps, Ben Johnson, John Byron and more. Production is shared across the collection by Ross Copperman, Zach Crowell and Austin Shawn, with MC4D producing and featuring on album closer “Home To You.” Clean Slate also features Ashley Cooke on “How You Been.”

Before Clean Slate arrives in full, Lynch leads off with “Made In A Bottle,” available September 4. Written by Jesse Frasure, Mark Holman and Geoff Warburton and produced by Ross Copperman, the straight-down-the-middle honky-tonk anthem is built on real instruments, real players and the snap of a full band. Against that high-energy backdrop, Lynch makes the rounds from bar to bar only to learn there isn’t a pour strong enough to outrun the memory of the one he lost.

“We started playing ‘Made In A Bottle’ live this summer and the reaction was immediate,” shares Lynch. “I love the energy of it and the rhythmic pocket in that chorus. You can’t help but move along to it. Production-wise, we wanted it to feel like you’re right there in the middle of our live show. There aren’t a bunch of studio tricks. It’s real instruments and real players, and it’s just a great honky-tonk song. We’ve road-tested it all summer, and it fits our show perfectly.”

The announcement follows Lynch’s Setlist Staples - 10 #1’s, a collection bringing together all 10 of his Country radio chart-toppers and capturing the songs that have become the foundation of his live show. Released August 28, the collection arrived alongside new RIAA certifications for “Small Town Boy” (5X PLATINUM), “Thinking ’Bout You” (4X PLATINUM), “Ridin’ Roads” (2X PLATINUM) and “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” (PLATINUM).

Lynch continues to bring that catalog to the stage with shows slated throughout the fall and into 2027, including a September 30 return to the Grand Ole Opry, followed by a special post-show event at Studio A. For tickets and a full list of upcoming dates, visit HERE.

Why – 2X Platinum
Lights Come On – 2X Platinum
Little More Summertime – Platinum
They Don't Know (album) – Platinum

“Having two songs reach Diamond status is something I never could have imagined when we were making these records,” said Aldean. “These songs have taken on a life of their own because of the fans. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has listened, streamed, bought the records, come to the shows and made these songs part of their lives. It’s special to have a moment that is still a career first all these years in, especially one that is all due to the fans. Thank you guys so much. We want to keep doing this and keep putting out songs and touring for a long time to come, and we don’t take getting to do this for granted.”

To commemorate the historic achievement, Aldean is releasing The Diamond Collection, an exclusive vinyl edition celebrating his two newly Diamond-certified singles, “You Make It Easy” and “Dirt Road Anthem,” available November 20. The limited-edition release gives fans a chance to own a commemorative piece celebrating two songs that have helped define Aldean’s career and cemented his place among country music’s most successful artists.

Noted for his “timeless country appeal” (The Tennessean) the ACM Artist of the Decade has achieved country stardom with his “own recipe…one that has vaulted him to the pinnacle of Country music success,” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Following his 32nd career #1, Aldean released his current single, “Anytime Soon,” off his current album Songs About Us and is set to continue his Songs About Us headlining tour run with shows in Charleston, WV (8/21) and Cincinnati (8/22), OH this weekend. With two Diamond certifications, 12 recent Platinum certifications, 32 chart-topping singles, and numerous sold-out Double Down Tour and Songs About Us headlining dates, Aldean continues to celebrate the extraordinary staying power of his music and the fans who have made these songs part of their lives for more than two decades.

JOHN MORGAN REMINISCES WITH NEW SINGLE "ONCE IN A MILE"

August 21, 2026

Six time #1 hitmaker John Morgan releases a new track today, “Once in a Mile.” Written by Morgan and Brent Anderson, the new song comes as Morgan’s current single “Kid Myself” is inside the Top 10 on the radio charts and climbing. Listen to “Once in a Mile” Below.

In “Once in a Mile,” Morgan turns the drive back home into an unraveling of memories - every passing mile stirring up the ghosts of a love that used to exist there. The production carries its own sense of momentum, a steady, driving pulse that mirrors the highway itself, propelling the song forward even as the lyrics pull backward into the past. Built on classic country instrumentation with a warm, nostalgic glow, the track captures that bittersweet ache of proximity: the closer you get to home, the closer you get to what you lost. Morgan's grounded, emotive vocal delivery sits at the heart of it all, turning a simple road trip into a quietly devastating meditation on memories and heartbreak.

John Morgan will be out on the road this fall.

BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE ANNOUNCES THE SIGNING OF JADE EAGLESON

August 20, 2026

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville proudly announces the signing of award-winning Canadian country artist Jade Eagleson to its recording roster. One of the genre's leading international voices, Eagleson has amassed more than 430 million global streams and 130 million YouTube views while earning five No. 1 singles at Canadian Country Radio, multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications, and widespread acclaim for his modern take on neo-traditional country music.

The Ontario native continues to build on that momentum following a remarkable stretch that includes four JUNO Award nominations, 2025 CCMA Male Artist of the Year, 2024 CCMA Album of the Year, and 2023 CCMA Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year honors.

In addition to signing with the label, Eagleson also expanded his team signing with Range Music for management, CAA for booking and Spirit Music, in a joint venture with Alliance Music Partners, for publishing.

**Photo ID:** Standing: BMG’s Jen Morgan, CAA’s Karen Schillinger & Bennett Beckner, BMG’s Quinn Bauducco, Range Music’s Shawn McSpadden & Trey Wilson, BMG Canada’s Lindsay Hyslop Seated: BMG North America’s Katie Kerkhover, BMG Canada’s Bryan Columbus, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s JoJamie Hahr, Jade Eagleson, BMG North & South America’s Jon Loba, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s Peter Strickland & Camille Kenny

“I’m incredibly excited to begin my journey with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville,” says Jade. “I have always had a profound respect for their team and the way they love and elevate their artists. The whole team feels like family and I’m so very proud to call this label my home. Regarding Range, that team has already been such a strong support for me, and we’re only just getting started. I feel incredibly aligned with them. They are strategic and innovative, and have been a blessing to have in my life. The fine folks that work there have quickly become some of my best friends. In addition, I love my agents at CAA, and I am so grateful that they rolled the dice on me and my obsession with steel and fiddle. It hasn’t been all that long and I’ve already had experiences that will last a lifetime. I am excited to continue playing and growing new markets with these fine folks. For the Spirit Music team, I remember coming to Nashville close to 10 years ago exploring publishing options, and most folks politely turned me away because what I was doing at the time was too country. Frank Rogers and Derek Wells on the other hand took the time to hear my music, and show interest in what I was doing when nobody else would. I have also had the privilege of working with Abbey for the last year or two and love that I can work with all of these incredible people on my upcoming releases. With these leaders in my corner across all aspects of my career, I am looking forward to what the next few years look like for me, my music and my opportunities to connect and engage with fans globally.”

"Jade represents so much of what everyone loves about this format. He knows exactly who he is as an artist, has an undeniable respect for the genre and has built an incredible career by stying true to that," says JoJamie Hahr, EVP, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. "What he has already accomplished is impressive, but we believe there is so much more ahead. We're thrilled to welcome Jade to the family and excited to be part of this next chapter."

"Spirit Music has been a big fan of Jade Eagleson for years,” shares Frank Rogers, CEO Spirit Music. We are excited to partner with Jade and help let the rest of the world discover what we (and all of Canada) have been excited about for a long time! Let’s go!”

"Jade has achieved remarkable success, and I am beyond excited to partner with him and Spirit Music on this next chapter,” says Abbey Adams, Co-Founder, Alliance Music Partners. “This is a pivotal point for Jade, the possibilities are endless, and we're thrilled to be a part of creating something even bigger with him."

About Jade Eagleson
Jade Eagleson has made quite a mark on the international country music scene. Boasting more than 430 million global streams and 130 million YouTube views since the debut of his self-titled album in 2020, which earned four GOLD and two PLATINUM-certified singles, Jade has also landed five No. 1 singles at Canadian Country Radio, three GOLD and one PLATINUM-certified track from his sophomore album, and another two GOLD-certified tracks and one PLATINUM-certified track from his third album, Do It Anyway. These last few years have been unmatched for the Ontario native. Jade kicked off 2025 with his fourth JUNO Award nomination and was recently named 2025 CCMA Male Artist of the Year after winning Album of the Year in 2024 and both Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year in 2023.

BRANTLEY GILBERT’S AGRICULTURAL DOCUMENTARY DIRTY MONEY PREMIERES ON FOX NATION

August 11, 2026

On the heels of the release of his eighth studio album SINS OF THE FATHER, multi-Platinum trailblazer Brantley Gilbert’s new documentary Dirty Money is available now, premiering exclusively on FOX Nation. As the agricultural industry faces rising costs and mounting economic pressures, the 90-minute documentary takes viewers inside the lives of America's farmers and explores the challenges threatening the future of one of the nation's most essential industries. Watch the trailer Below.

“Dirty Money is about giving farmers the opportunity to tell their own stories and shine a light on the realities they deal with every day, from rising costs to protecting the lands that have been in their families for generations,” shares Gilbert. “Whether you grew up on a farm or have never set foot on one, I hope people walk away with a better understanding of the challenges these families face and why protecting the future of American agriculture matters to all of us.”

Directed by Shaun Silva, Dirty Money immerses viewers in the lives of farmers who are navigating a critical crossroads. Through firsthand accounts and untold stories, the documentary spotlights the economic challenges, everyday difficulties and harsh realities that farmers are facing across the country. Executive producers include Gilbert and Silva, alongside Three Sons Films, Aaron Keiser and Keith J. Leman and producers include Don Lepore and Jake Allyn.

Released via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, SINS OF THE FATHER marks his most personal project, with Sports Illustrated sharing, “Brantley Gilbert remains anchored by the three things that never wavered: his family, his faith, and the Georgia dirt that raised him. In SINS OF THE FATHER, he turns that foundation into his boldest, most honest chapter yet,” while Entertainment Focus observes, “Vocally he’s on top form, lyrically he’s mining deeper than he has before, and musically he’s more considered than he’s ever been,” calling it “his best album yet.”

Gilbert recently extended The Real American Tour, with dates announced throughout the U.S. through the fall, including stops at The Fruit Yard Amphitheater in Modesto, CA, Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, MA, Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT, VyStar Pavilion in Savannah, GA and PNC Pavilion in Cincinnati, OH.

LANIE GARDNER ANNOUNCES FADED POLAROIDS (DELUXE) ARRIVING SEPTEMBER 4

August 7, 2026

Following the success of her acclaimed album, Lanie Gardner will release Faded Polaroids (Deluxe) on September 4 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Available for pre-add/pre-save today, the expanded edition features three brand-new songs, continuing the musical journey that began with her Polaroids EP and evolved on Faded Polaroids. Fans can hear the first new release, "You Ain't My Daddy," below.

Alongside the album's original 18 tracks, which helped earn Gardner recognition as a “2025 Artist to Watch” by the Recording Academy/GRAMMY, Gardner worked with Kristian Bush on the deluxe edition to expand on the world of Faded Polaroids. With three new songs - "You Ain't My Daddy," "Bye Bye," and "Say It Sober” - she further showcases her fearless songwriting and unmistakable voice.

“Faded Polaroids felt like a resolution before stepping into the next chapter of my artistry, capturing the growing pains of my early twenties. With the deluxe edition, I’m reflecting on the woman I’ve become because of them,” Lanie shared. “These new songs solidify that evolution, and I hope they encourage women to trust themselves, reclaim their voices, and never settle for anything that makes them forget their worth. That’s exactly how I felt writing them.”

After teasing snippets across social media, Gardner let fans vote on which of the new songs they wanted to hear first and they chose "You Ain't My Daddy." Equal parts playful and defiant, the country-rock anthem pushes back against unsolicited opinions and expectations with sharp wit, gritty guitars and a singalong chorus. It's a reminder that no one else gets to decide who you are or how you choose to live your life. Go behind the scenes with Lanie and the making of the song here.

The release arrives as Gardner continues her breakout year on Luke Bryan's “Word On The Street Tour,” bringing her music to audiences across the country. Since first capturing global attention with her viral cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," Gardner has carved out a sound that blends the storytelling heart of country with the grit of rock, the soul of blues and the hooks of pop. With Faded Polaroids, Gardner continued defining her sound, and the deluxe edition pushes that evolution even further.

Gardner will continue on Luke Bryan’s “Word On The Street Tour” into the fall, before joining Jordan Davis and Ty Myers for select dates. Visit laniegardnermusic.com for ticket information.

ALISON NICHOLS FINDS THE SILVING LINING ON BOLD NEW ANTHEM "ALL HEAVEN BROKE LOOSE" – OUT NOW

August 7, 2026

Alison Nichols discovers that sometimes the best things happen after everything falls apart on her new release, "All Heaven Broke Loose," out now via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Written by Nichols with Natalie Stovall and Zach Manno, and produced by Will Rambeaux and Ilya Toshinskiy, the bold country-pop anthem transforms heartbreak into hope, celebrating the unexpected freedom that comes from starting over. Listen HERE.

Built around the clever twist of its title, "All Heaven Broke Loose" flips a familiar phrase into something entirely its own. As Nichols sings about watching someone drive away, the song steadily trades heartbreak for healing, landing on a realization that echoes throughout the chorus: sometimes losing what you thought you wanted is exactly what leads you where you're meant to be. By the final chorus, lyrics like "I found me when I lost you" reveal a story that's less about the end of a relationship than the beginning of a new chapter.

"This song is about the last year of my life. It's been one crazy roller coaster of emotions. I signed my record deal, lost a relationship and had to figure out who I was on the other side of it. Looking back now, I can honestly say what felt like the worst thing that could've happened ended up making room for some of the best things. I hope anyone who's walking through heartbreak can hear this song and realize there's life after goodbye. Sometimes all heaven really does break loose," says Nichols.

Watch the official "All Heaven Broke Loose" music video Below:

Sonically, "All Heaven Broke Loose" was built as a big, bold country-pop statement. Bright metallic electric guitars, chiming steel and a driving rhythm section give the verses emotional weight before the soaring chorus delivers the exhilaration of moving forward. Balancing the sadness of heartbreak with the freedom of a fresh start, the track captures the moment when pain gives way to possibility.

Following the warmth of "Dressin' Down" and the carefree spirit of "Box Wine Problems," Nichols continues to reveal new dimensions of her artistry, pairing deeply personal storytelling with a modern country sound that feels both relatable and uplifting. "All Heaven Broke Loose" is another step forward for one of country's brightest emerging voices.

COLIN STOUGH LAYS HIS HEART BARE ON HAUNTING NEW BALLAD "BONE DRY" - OUT NOW

July 26, 2026

Colin Stough strips everything back on his latest release, "Bone Dry," available everywhere now. Listen BELOW.

Written by Stough alongside Gavin Lucas and Jackson Inman, and produced by Phillip White and Stough, "Bone Dry" trades roaring guitars for quiet devastation. Anchored by acoustic guitar, understated percussion and one of Stough's most vulnerable vocal performances to date, the heartbreak ballad captures the emptiness left behind when there are simply no tears left to cry.

"'Bone Dry' is about getting to that point after a breakup where you've cried all the tears you've got left," Stough shares. "The person you loved was everything to you, and then one day they're gone, and you're just standing there trying to figure out what comes next. Growing up in Mississippi, rivers, rain and dry ground were just part of everyday life, so that imagery always stuck with me. Sometimes heartbreak doesn't leave you angry. It just leaves you empty. That's what this song is."

Built around imagery of dried-up riverbeds, cracked earth and empty skies, "Bone Dry" turns the landscape of Stough's Mississippi upbringing into a portrait of heartbreak. His gravel-worn vocal carries every ounce of the song's emotional weight before giving way to a restrained guitar solo that never overwhelms the story, allowing every lyric to settle long after the final chorus fades.

The release follows the rock-driven "Trippin'," showcasing another side of Stough's artistry and continuing to prove that whether he's turning the amps up or stripping everything away, his greatest strength has always been telling the truth.

About Colin Stough
Born and raised on the Mississippi-Alabama line, 21-year-old Colin Stough was brought up on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age eight, later trading prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride, including a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings/BMG Nashville and breakout songs like "Sober," "'Til The Day One Does" and the hard-edged anthem "White Trash." With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of more than 800K across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin' For Homeoffer a no-frills portrait of a young man navigating life with Southern grit, while releases including "White Trash," "20 Bucks," "Best For You," "21 Year Old Man Blues," "Trippin'" and now "Bone Dry" continue to showcase both the power and vulnerability of his songwriting. On the road, he has opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White and Kidd G as he continues to build his audience one show at a time. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn't chasing trends. He's telling the underdog's truth, one song at a time.

The sold-out opening weekend marks another milestone for the Grammy-nominated entertainer, who celebrates his 32nd career No. 1 single at country radio with his three-week Billboard Country Airplay and two-week Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart-topper "Don’t Tell On Me."

Released in 2010, Aldean’s multi-platinum, career-defining My Kinda Party was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Album, produced multiple No. 1 singles, including "Fly Over States," "Tattoos On This Town" and "My Kinda Party," and earned additional Grammy nominations for Best Country Duo/Group Performance ("Don’t You Wanna Stay" featuring Kelly Clarkson) and Best Country Solo Performance ("Dirt Road Anthem"). Following the release of They Don’t Know, Aldean earned three consecutive ACM Entertainer of the Year awards (2016, 2017 and 2018) before receiving the ACM's Artist of the Decade Award in 2019, recognizing artists who have dominated country music over a 10-year span through commercial success, touring and artistic merit. This marks the first time all three albums have been available on vinyl. Pre-order Jason Aldean, My Kinda Party and They Don’t Know on vinyl here.
