Month: May 2024

Travis Denning‘s Mercury Nashville debut track, “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” arrived in March 2018, and on Friday, he’ll finally get to release his first full-length album, Roads That Go Nowhere.

With over five years between both releases, it’s safe to say that Travis has had plenty of time to get ready and put together his introductory record.

“It feels pretty dead-on what I’ve wanted to accomplish. You know, I think the amount of time that we put into it, I don't know, it feels like we checked pretty much all of the boxes,” Travis shares in a press interview. “It just feels like a really solid country music album, and I think that's just what was really important.”

Since Travis penned 12 of the 15 songs on Roads That Go Nowhere, you can expect an auditory glimpse of the Georgia native’s life.

“The theme is there with the title track, the stories are there. I got to put enough of the creative things that I connect to where I come from in there that not a lot of people get to do, and for that I am super grateful,” says Travis. “And then, of course, there's some big rockin', Nashville rock ‘n’ roll country on there.”

“All that mixed together, it's made what I consider a pretty well-rounded project,” he shares.

Roads That Go Nowhere is available for preorder and presave now.

Here’s the Roads That Go Nowhere track list:

“Why I’m Drinking”

Twisters: The Album won’t drop until July, but Bailey Zimmerman‘s giving you a sneak peek with a preview of “Hell or High Water,” a song on the forthcoming project.

The Instagram teaser video features Bailey sitting by the sea in a white hoodie and camo sweatpants, lipsyncing to his moody tune as waves crash ashore. 

“I know it ain’t gonna be no easy ride/ And what doesn’t kill ya makes you stronger/ But I’m running out of places I can hide/ And every day it’s like the nights get longer/ When I close my eyes yeah the waves get high/ And the flames get hotter/ So I’m asking myself ’cause I can’t tell/ If this is hell or just high water,” Bailey sings in the clip over a slow, stripped-back production.

Carly Pearce has learned a new workout: the tire flip.

The “What He Didn’t Do” singer shared on Instagram a video of Tim McGraw teaching her the functional training movement, which left her exhausted. 

“Will you please help me? I need help. I clearly am not doing that right, right? This is how I was doing it,” Carly tells Tim as she struggles to flip the tire. 

“Bend your knees. Get your hands underneath the bottom. Bend your knees further. Now lift with your legs and butt,” Tim instructs Carly as she successfully flips the tire off the ground.

When the “I Like It, I Love It” hitmaker tells Carly how many times he typically flips the tire, she shakes her head and responds, “This is as far as I’ll go.” So instead, Tim improvises and they start pushing the tire back and forth without covering any distance.

“Oh I can do that. This is more my speed of a workout,” says Carly.

“It’s like a seesaw,” Tim notes, to which Carly jokes, “This is why I don’t look like you.” 

You can watch the mini workout video on Carly’s Instagram.

Carly’s currently opening for Tim on his Standing Room Only Tour, with upcoming stops in Toledo, Chicago and Grand Rapids on May 30, May 31 and June 1, respectively.

For tickets and the full schedule, head to Tim’s website.

Carly’s new album, Hummingbird, arrives June 7, and is available for preorder and presave now.
