Pat McAfee is tired of the political division. In the modern day, supporting the United States can be viewed as a political statement (crazy, right?). The former NFL punter and host of The Pat McAfee Show has learned that lesson on multiple occasions. Most recently, the sports personality has come under fire for picking up the tab at a Team USA hockey celebration. As you likely already know, the boys in red, white and blue brought home the gold at […]

Leon Majcen is setting out to achieve quite the tall task in the next five years… but he’s already well on his way to reaching his goal for 2026. On the latest episode of the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast (which was actually a double episode), Leon Majcen talked to us about being raised by Bosnian refugee parents, almost quitting music altogether during 2020, his ambitious plans for future music releases, and one of his career goals being that he does […]

A little something for everyone. Though there are plenty of multi-genre and even multi-week festivals around the country, ranging from the likes of Bourbon and Beyond, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more, Summerfest in Milwaukee has remained one of the longest and most musically diverse for quite a few years at this point. If you recall, over the past few years, the Wisconsin-based festival has hosted the likes of Lainey Wilson, Tyler Childers, Eric Church, Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Zac […]

A dream duet that I can’t get enough of. Megan Moroney’s third studio album Cloud 9 is out everywhere, which includes a very special song she’s called her personal “Super Bowl” that features fellow country star Kacey Musgraves called “Bells & Whistles.” Megan has spoken at length about what inspiration Kacey has been for her over the years, she’s one of the reasons Megan really started pursuing a country career to being with, and during a recent trip to London, she spoke with […]

Brock Davis – Nothing Lasts Forever This set gets off to a wonderful upbeat start with the soaring pedal steel guitar of Russ Pahl & the enthusiastic vocals of Brock Davis (piano) on “All of You.” Definite feel-good music right out of the gate from the 14-track self-produced Nothing Lasts Forever (Drops Feb 27/Raintown Records/48:17). […]

Everyone’s favorite, unofficial country music holiday… and a reason to dress up for a meet and greet? One of the more infamous days of Koe Wetzel’s life will forever be remembered thanks to the song that he penned titled “February 28, 2016.” The track, which is now certified-gold, details the events of… you guessed it, February 28, 2016 – the day that Wetzel was arrested for public intoxication. The hit song was included on Koe’s 2016 album Noise Complaint, and […]

The Droptines have tapped into some original alt-country chemistry that’s been sorely missing in the roots music diet, and have spent the last couple of years since releasing their debut self-titled album.

Neil Sedaka was a giant of the music business. His masterful songs were iconic. He worked with so many of the greats. Now he is dead at 86.

The collab I’ve been waiting for since last year. Last July, Stephen Wilson Jr. opened up for Eric Church during his 3 night run at Red Rocks. And every night, I kept waiting for SWJ to appear during Church’s set. The combination of the two makes too much sense: They’re both trailblazers who are unapologetically themselves, with their own sound that pushes the boundaries and sets the standard when it comes to both songwriting and musicianship. Of course Church has […]
