scary, like all the best dreams. YouTube is the perfect home for it.”
“Coldplay: Everyday Life – Live in Jordan” will weave fans into the event’s build-up and the livestream itself by asking them and the YouTube community to submit videos for use in
the broadcast.
Coldplay also recruited Portlandia’s Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein for an unusual and hilarious press conference to announce the Jordan events, which the band have posted on
their YouTube Channel.
The YouTube Originals livestream announcement comes on the heels of the news that Coldplay’s eighth album, Everyday Life, will arrive globally on Friday, November 22 via Parlophone
/ Atlantic on CD, vinyl, cassette and digital formats. Two songs from the album,

To celebrate the holiday season, exclusive music videos feature new hits and traditional holiday classics
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® kicked off the holiday season today with the release of its “Rocking and Stockings” content series with multiple Grammy Award-winning superstar Kelly Clarkson and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Brett Eldredge. The exclusive performances of new hits and traditional holiday classics premieres today on Cracker Barrel’s YouTube channel with Clarkson’s “Love So Soft,” followed by Eldredge’s “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” on Nov. 17. Fans can follow along as each new video launches weekly through Dec. 12.
“Rocking and Stockings” features four performances of new music from Clarkson’s recently released eighth studio album “Meaning of Life,” including her latest hit single, “Love So Soft,” as well as “Meaning of Life” and “Heat.” It also includes Clarkson’s new holiday track “Christmas Eve.” From his 2016 holiday album “Glow,” Eldredge performs traditional classics, including “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “First Noel.”
“The holidays are always a special time for us,” said Cracker Barrel Senior Marketing Manager Julie Ulmer. “We created ‘Rocking and Stockings’ to bring together two of music’s most beloved artists for exclusive performances as a joyful way to kick off the season and to help inspire the love and togetherness we hope our guests feel when they dine with us.”
“Christmas is far and away my favorite holiday and recording the music for ‘Glow’ was a dream come true,” said Eldredge. “I’ve been inspired for this record from a very young age, and I dreamt of the day I could record all these classic songs that I’ve loved since I was a little kid. I think we found a little magic on this album and Christmas is all about magic!”
For fans wanting more, Cracker Barrel is offering Eldredge’s fourth studio album “Brett Eldredge” and holiday album “Glow,” as well as Clarkson’s “Meaning of Life” album and children’s books “River Rose and the Magical Lullaby” and “River Rose and the Magical Christmas,” at its locations nationwide and online at shop.crackerbarrel.com.
“Meaning of Life” is the album Kelly Clarkson was destined to make with Atlantic Records; it is a collection of soul-inspired pop that immediately belongs among the legendary label’s classic canon. In addition to her new album, Clarkson also succeeded her New York Times Top 10 bestselling-debut children’s book, “River Rose and the Magical Lullaby” this year with “River Rose and the Magical Christmas,” both available now from HarperCollins.
While Eldredge’s chart-topping album “Brett Eldredge” shows the singer’s diverse and ever-evolving sound, his dream of creating a holiday album became reality with the release of “Glow” last year, which gave the singer a chance to record all the classic songs he loved as a child.
By partnering with artists through its Spotlight Music Program, Cracker Barrel provides guests exclusive access to content they can’t find elsewhere like the “Rocking and Stockings” performance series. Known for its Warehouse Sessions, Cracker Barrel has partnered with artists including Alison Krauss, NEEDTOBREATHE and Reba McEntire for live and taped performances from its Décor Warehouse in Lebanon, Tennessee. In February, Cracker Barrel’s partnership with a cappella group Pentatonix and singer-songwriter legend Dolly Parton won the artists a Grammy Award for “Best Country Duo/Group Performance” for their unique remix of Parton’s 1970s hit “Jolene.” This was the first time the song had won the prestigious award since its release over 40 years ago.

You are probably wondering why exactly I’m writing about Los Angeles-based rock band, TOY, on here since this is a blog about Nashville, but this band definitely has a Nashville connection and, most importantly, they ROCK! They definitely belong right here on Focus on the 615 where we feature only the best!
Well, I figured since I was a little bit late AND my site was down for a couple of days, that I would give all of you Jana Kramer fans out there another video to enjoy! She’s awesome, so get to know her a little better right here and share with your friends, too!
So far of this series I did with SHeDAISY, I’d have to say this is my absolute favorite episode! I can’t help but laugh and smile every time I see it. I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to help yourself either!
I ran a little long on editing it, but oh well! Just a little bit MORE to enjoy! 🙂
Most people will probably recognize Jana Kramer as one of the stars on the hit CW tv drama “One Tree Hill“. Besides being a talented actress, she is, also, an incredibly gifted singer just signed to Warner Music Group this past winter. Fans of “One Tree Hill” will no doubt remember her performance she gave on the show of her song “Whiskey“.
