Toby Keith, Hammer Down

Kip Moore has been announced as the special guest on Toby Keith’s upcoming Hammer Down Tour, which is set to kick off June 8th in Ozark, Arkansas. “I am excited to go out with Toby, because I have heard so many stories about what the tours are like. I know that he has a big, big rowdy crowd, and I know he has a different kind of fan base than I probably do, which is why it’s going to be so fun to get in front of that fan base,” says Kip. “The guy has been at the top of his game for no telling how many years. I mean 10-15-20 years, so I know it’s definitely something I can learn a lot from, and I think it will better my career going out with him.”

Kip, who is currently on the road with Brantley Gilbert on the Hell on Wheels Tour, is scaling the country charts with his latest single, “Hey Pretty Girl,” the follow-up to back-to-back number-one singles – “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” and “Beer Money.”

Love And Theft’s Stephen Barker Liles Celebrates 29th Birthday

By on February 2, 2013 in In The Press

Stephen Barker Liles, one half of hot Country duo Love and Theft, enjoyed an extended 29th Birthday celebration last week filled with music and friends.

On Wednesday, Stephen and Eric joined an “in the round” evening at the Bluebird Café, revered as a hallowed haunt for Nashville’s best songwriters. Love and Theft played their #1 hit “Angel Eyes,” current single, “Runnin’ Out of Air,” and revealed some new songs. Later, the group dined at a local hibachi grill.

Thursday was Stephen’s actual birthday. First, he and Eric spent the day writing with The Warren Brothers, another dynamic duo who collaborated with Love and Theft on their current album. Later, Stephen was surprised by friends when he arrived home to find a house full of balloons with handwritten messages on each one. The party then moved to a karaoke club, where Stephen selected The Eagles “Seven Bridges Road” to sing.

“I like to find a reason to celebrate every day and since it was my birthday, I had extra incentive!” says Stephen with a grin. “But I gotta say, it was really special to spend time in town writing songs, resting and then getting such an awesome surprise from my friends. They put so much thought into showing me how much they care and it was incredible! We’ve been lucky enough to be able to travel and tour all over but times like this remind me of what a blessed life I have here in Nashville.”

Tate Stevens

Belton, Missouri native Tate Stevens captivated viewers worldwide on FOX’s The X Factor Season 2 with his emotive and powerful country vocal performances—never placing less than second throughout the entire competition. Now, from appearances on one star-studded stage to the next, Stevens will unveil a first look of his debut music video for the song “Holler If You’re With Me,” as part of a Pepsi commercial during The 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 10 on CBS at 8 p.m. EST/PST.

Additionally, the song, “Holler If You’re With Me,” will be available for download on iTunes beginning Tuesday, February 5.

Starting out the competition as a 37-year-old blue collar construction worker with humble roots and a seemingly far-fetched dream of becoming a country music superstar, Stevens’ recent win on The X Factor proved to the world that in fact, dreams do come true. “Things are moving very fast since the finale of X Factor, and we’re already laying down tracks for my new album that will be out this spring.

By on January 31, 2013 in In The Press

For Kenny Chesney, It’s All About “Life On A Rock”

Kenny Chesney, Life On A Rock

With “Pirate Flag” beaming out at the stroke of midnight, Kenny Chesney figured the time was right to release the title of his much anticipated April 30 Blue Chair/Columbia release. Life On A Rock, co-produced with longtime collaborator Buddy Cannon, captures the thematic core of the 10 song set that’s been recorded and mixed in Los Angeles, Hawaii, Jamaica, Key West, London and Nashville, Tennessee.

“It all depends on what kind of rock you’re looking at,” Chesney says of the title. “Just living here on this planet, we’re all living life on a rock; but for me, and for this record, it’s about the way life is when you live on an island. Everywhere you go, there’s everyone you know; you know everything about them, and they know everything about you… and well, that’s just a whole other way to be.
