Keith Urban will be ready to hit the road when this season of “American Idol” wraps up. He’s announced a new “Raise ‘Em Up” tour with Jerrod Niemann and Brett Eldredge. This tour will feature an all-new stage production and music not performed on the last “Light The Fuse” tour. Look for this new production to kick off July twelfth at the Calgary Stampede and then hit at least twenty cities across America before wrapping in September.
Good things seem to come in “Platinum” for Miranda Lambert. From her hair color to her wedding ring to the color of her Airstream…it’s all about her lifestyle. Not to mention her four platinum albums. This is also the title of Miranda’s new album, which hits stores June third. She co-wrote the first single “Automatic,” which was Miranda’s highest-charting first week single at radio, so this album is already getting off to a “Platinum” start.
The Oak Ridge Boys are celebrating the release of their very first live project this week. “Boys Night Out” features many of their classic hits performed with their flawless four-part harmonies. The group has one double platinum album, three platinum albums, and twelve gold, so they don’t have to live by the charts, but just want to continue making great music.
As part of a ten-year cultural exchange program, 33 million online music, art and video submissions were cast to determine musical selections to be broadcast from the Chinese space station. Most clips selected were from China, but three non-Chinese songs were also selected. Brad Paisley’s “Southern Comfort Zone,” Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” and American Young’s “Love Is War” all made the cut, and were broadcast from space to all the schools in China. Looks like Nashville is well-represented in modern Chinese culture.
Now it's time to go Inside The Song. It’s always incredible to find something positive when going through hard times. That’s exactly where Heather Looney and Paige Logan of North Forty found their latest single. We caught up with them to learn about the inspiration for “Tell Me Something Good.”
