It was inevitable. Over the past couple years we’ve seen AI-generated music take off like a rocket on TikTok and other platforms. With advances in technology, a lot of these songs are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, which obviously poses a risk to actual artists, songwriters, and fans who value real art over AI slop. Plenty of artists have spoken out against AI-generated songs that attempt to copy their own voices, with Tennessee even passing legislation to prevent the […]

Mountain lions, also known as cougars, are a vicious animal. An elusive predator that roams our lands, they’re known for their incredible stalking abilities, often with their prey, including the occasional human, not knowing they’re after them until the job is nearly done. That’s why seeing a mountain lion swimming in the middle of a waterbody it doesn’t quite add up. I mean, who expects to see one of these danger kitties while they’re fishing in a boat? No one… […]

Pretty funny, but let’s be honest… not exactly safe, right? Grizzly bears are the natural-born-killers of the woods. Highly renowned hunters of all things edible. They can be huge, weighing around 700-pounds on average, but fight and bite like they are twice that size. Why a person would ever think approaching one is a good idea is a question we all should ask. But, constantly we see it happening. Whether it is in Yellowstone National Park or Grand Teton… there […]

Perfection. As time passes, it’s become abundantly clear that Tyler Childers has become one of the latest living legends in the genre. Undoubtedly a key piece of the independent and Appalachian movement that has swept country music over the past decade, seemingly everything he touches turns to gold. And despite the controversy surrounding his latest release, Snipe Hunter, back in July, Childers has proven time and again that he isn’t afraid to get a little weird with both his studio and […]

A Southern take on a rock and roll classic. This is AC/DC like you’ve never heard them before. Of course, most readers of this are familiar with Chris Stapleton’s powerful pipes. The 8x CMA Male Vocalist of the Year is one of the most talented musicians of our generation, proving himself as a prolific songwriter long before breaking out as a solo artist in 2015 with his critically acclaimed record Traveller. As of late, I’ve found myself in a deep […]

Of course, he […]

The welcome that all veterans deserve, every single day of the year. If you ask me, our military veterans deserve to be treated like royalty. The brave men and women that fight to protect this country are true, every day heroes. We treat them as such when they are deployed, but we could do a better job of celebrating and lifting them up when they return home from service. High Point University does a great job of picking up that […]

Honestly, this is a better excuse to be on Broadway anyway. The 2025 CMA Awards are coming up in just a week and a half, and Morgan Wallen is seeking to defend his title of Entertainer of the Year. Or is he? Morgan was a no-show at last year’s awards ceremony despite winning the night’s top prize, and hasn’t really addressed his Entertainer of the Year win over the past year. He’s nominated in the category once again, alongside Luke […]
