We are so glad you’ve joined us for another Inside Music Row! We’ve got plenty of entertainment news for you this week, so let’s get started! Miranda Lambert releases her new “Platinum” album this week, just in time for CMA Music Fest. In just a few short weeks, she’ll hit the road on her new “Platinum” tour, presented by Crystal Light. The new show will glitter with a platinum theme, and include hits from all five of her albums. Miranda will hit up 30 cities across North America before wrapping September 20th in Honolulu. I can just imagine the wrap party there! Look for Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett to join her on select dates.
Brad Paisley will be all over the road this summer, and all over your television, too! Brad is spending the summer out on tour on the new Country Nation World Tour, presented by Kraft Cheese. He also has a new album set to launch August 26th, which includes his hit single “River Bank.” Brad will also join Kesha and Ludacris along with host Josh Groban on the new ABC “Rising Star” singing competition series. Look for the program to premiere Sunday, June 22nd, which is the first interactive music competition with the audience giving the final say in real time. No matter where you look…Brad will be there.
Construction is coming along very well on the new Dreammore Resort at Dollywood in the Great Smoky Mountains. The new resort will open next summer while the theme park celebrates its 30th anniversary. Dolly recently released new renderings of the project, which has been a dream of hers for many years.
Now it's time to go “Inside The Song.” Jo Dee Messina’s latest project shows off her versatility as an artist and as a writer, from country to rock to a little R-and-B. We had a chance to talk to her about that new album, which includes the more soulful “Take It.”
CMA Music Fest is in full swing this week here in Nashville, but be on the lookout for tons of artists to hit the road again next week after spending a few days here in Music City. Let’s take a quick look at who’s going where and when.
