This Saturday, I will be out not once, but twice with Send Me Backstage T-Shirts and a chance to win passes to The Country Fest! I hope to see you at either Edinburg Tractor Sales in Rootstown or Tractor Supply in Solon! Click here for more details! 

Thomas Rhett just notched his 22nd number-one single with "Mamaw's House," featuring Morgan Wallen. The pair didn't just sing the song together, they are co-writers on it. Thomas says, "Both of our mamaws were such a big part of shaping us into the men we are today, so I loved being able to pay tribute to them in this way. God Bless all the mamaws out there for making us all better people and thank y’all for loving on them with us!”

Congratulations go out to Thomas and Morgan, and their co-writers Matt Dragstem and Chase McGill.
