One Thing at a Time arrived earlier in March and features the chart-topping singles “You Proof,” “Thought You Should Know,” “Last Night” and the title track.

Country hitmaker Brad Paisley has released his new song, “So Many Summers.”

The meaningful track was written by Brad, Lee Thomas Miller and Ross Copperman, and shares some apt and important life wisdom.

“So swing for the fence, jump in the water/ Soak it all in, watch all the bobbers/ Play the songs on 10, tell her you love her/ Then wake up and do it again/ You only get so many summers/ You only get so many summers,” Brad reminds listeners in the powerful chorus. 

“So Many Summers” is the latest preview of Brad’s forthcoming Universal Music Group Nashville debut album, Son of The Mountains. The project will include the previously released “Same Here,” which features Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 

Coming up, Brad will headline Nashville’s annual Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th concert. For the full lineup and schedule, visit visitmusiccity.com/july4th.

Out now via Warner Music Nashville, the six-track project features the previously released title track, “Get Her Back” and “Workin’ on It” as well as the Meghan Patrick-assisted “Spirits and Demons.”

“When I was trying to decide what to call this project, I wanted something that stripped it back to the frame,” shares Michael. “Dive Bars & Broken Hearts is me getting to the sound I’ve always heard in my head, something that’s played on a jukebox or a bandstand in a bar somewhere just outside of town.”

Dive Bars & Broken Hearts is out now wherever you listen to music.

Here’s the Dive Bars & Broken Hearts track list:

“Dive Bars & Broken Hearts”
“Don’t Give a Truck”

Old Dominion has released their highly anticipated new EP, Memory Lane.

The eight-song set includes the title track as well as three brand new songs: “Some Horses,” “Love Drunk and Happy” and “How Good Is That.”

Of the reflective “Some Horses,” Old Dominion shares, “We’ve been through hotel keys, one man bands, boats for the day, meat, candy, happy endings, therapy and tequila. We’ve put hooks on our hooks, and all kinds of sing- and clap-alongs, and we love the looks on your faces when we play all these songs live, but we’re all adults… We know life is sometimes a little more complicated.”

“We didn’t want to get all heavy and serious, but we figured we could keep doing what we do… and maybe go a little further into thinking about life,” continues the band. “That's what #SomeHorses represents for us.”

Old Dominion’s Memory Lane ?EP is available wherever you listen to music.

With Morgan Wallen‘s One Night At A Time World Tour back in the saddle, HARDY‘s giving fans a peek at life on the road with Morgan and fellow openers ERNEST and Bailey Zimmerman.

“You don’t want to know,” HARDY jokes with ABC Audio. “No, I’m kidding. It’s good. It’s real, too. I mean, once we get [back to Nashville], like I’m married, Ernest is married and has a kid, and Morgan has a kid, [and] Bailey’s Bailey. We all do our own thing once we’re in town. But once we get on the road, there’s always something going on.”

He continues, “We’re always chatting, we’re always talking, trying to find something to do and there’s a real camaraderie there.”

Morgan’s back on the road after six weeks of vocal rest. His first two shows took place at Chicago's Wrigley Field on Thursday, June 22, and Friday, June 23. For the full schedule of Morgan’s One Night At A Time World Tour, visit his website.
