Nate Smith sent his next single to radio, his follow up to his debut #1 single "Whiskey on You". Nate says "'World On Fire' is about when a relationship is ending, all of the things that can come with it. Sometimes you've got friendships that were built around that relationship, you've got places that you used to love to go like bars and different scenes and stuff, and it's really challenging when you break up because those places are now kinda taboo to walk into. That's really what the song is about is how to pick up the debris after everything has fallen apart."

Megan Moroney made an appearance on the TODAY Show this morning (5/15/23) to sing her smash debut single "Tennessee Orange"! She also talked to the hosts about her debut album Lucky:

Lainey Wilson recently scored a couple of #1's with her single "Heart Like A Truck" and "wait in the truck", her duet with HARDY. She's ready to climb up the charts again, this time with her song "Watermelon Moonshine" from her album Bellbottom Country.

Lainey says "Watermelon Moonshine" is a nostalgic song about getting buzzed on that young wild crazy kind of love. A time in your life when nothing else mattered except for the way that you were feeling in that moment.

All this week, you can win tickets to see Avery Anna at the Dusty Armadillo on Saturday, May 20th! Just make sure you are tuned in to catch the Country Quiz this week in the 11am hour.

So if you don't win this week, definitely buy tickets to support this up and coming new artist! Also, local artist Karissa Ella will open and she is also amazing!

And how cool is it that I started giving away these tickets today and she was on the TODAY Show this morning?!? She talked about becoming a singing sensation on TikTok, then sang "Self Love": 

Russell Dickerson made his acting debut last night on the Fox series Call Me Cat. He didn't play a character, he played himself in the episode called "Call Me A Donut Wall", that found Russell showing up in a storyline surrounding series regular Max. He offered Max, who's played by Cheyenne Jackson, a life-changing career opportunity. But that's all I'll say so I don't spoil anything if you haven't watched yet!

LOOK MOM! I’m on TV!!! Tune in to watch me pick a wedgie! This whole day was CRAZYYYY! Making my acting debut! Shout out to the incredible cast and crew for helping me my first time on camera! pic.twitter.com/ETXrb8ygO5
