Nate Smith is pretty new to the charts of Country Music but not new to singing. Growing up in California he caught “the bug” with inspiration from church and singing along with the congregations. He took his talents to Nashville by the age of 23 and was on the road to being more than just […]
Reality performance shows still dot and rule the TV landscape putting out “winner” on a regular basis. American Idol is the king of them all, but can you remember even half of the winners from that show over the years? There are some superstars, but there is a greater number of singers you’ve never heard […]
Mitchell Tenpenny is having a bit of a moment. He has two songs currently in the top 10 on the Country Charts with “Truth About You” getting to the top 5 this week and his team-up with Chris Young on “At The End Of A Bar” slowly climbing back down after a run at the […]
There appears to be a bit of a shift in the Country Music landscape. There are a few artists that are embracing the 70s and 80s style of edgier and honkey tonk styles of the genre. One of those is Jackson Dean who sounds more like Merle Haggard than Luke Bryan when he sings. He’s […]

Cody Johnson is a cowboy. Not in the sense that he just wears a cowboy hat and sings country songs. He is an actual cowboy who earned his stripes on the rodeo circuit. Ropin’ and ridin’ were his forte for several years before he found music to be his career. Born and raised in Groveton, […]
