It’s a big day in country music! In this edition of Music City Minute, we’re celebrating the legendary Dolly Parton, talking about Lady A’s highly-anticipated return to the stage, taking a look at Lainey Wilson’s hilarious “day off” routine and covering the latest development in the murder case involving Billy Strings’ half-brother.   Music City Minut...

Lainey Wilson is returning to host the 60th Annual CMA Awards, marking her third straight year at the helm of Country Music's Biggest Night. The show airs live November 18 from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on ABC, Disney+ and streams the next day on Hulu. The 2026 nominations are led by Ella Langley with nine nods, followed by Miranda Lambert with seven and Kacey Musgraves with five. Oh yeah, the...

Y’all, grab some nappies and a bottle, because a new little country cutie just made her debut! On September 1, Mitchell Tenpenny and Meghan Patrick welcomed their first child together, a 5 lbs. 12 oz. baby girl named Ember James Tempany. Mitchell and Meghan are already calling her their “sweet Emmy girl,” and honestly, that is just about as adorable as it gets. Fans first found o...

After the Opry shared a video of the 24-year-old singer performing her viral hit "Boston" backstage for St. Jude patients, some commenters took aim at Lefty's success, pointing to her family's wealth and the ongoing comparisons between "Boston" and Noah Kahan's "Stick Season." Ballerini jumped into the comments to defend the newcomer, reminding fans that the Grand Ole Opry has always been about ce...

Here is a made-in-Wyoming music moment: Sheridan native and country star Ian Munsick has teamed up with Cheyenne native and recent University of Wyoming graduate Jacob Walker for a special down-home collaboration. When Munsick’s team asked UW’s Western Thunder Marching Band to perform his song “Love Is Blind,” Walker answered the call to create the arrangement. Boy howdy, i...

Country music star Chayce Beckham and his wife, Ashley Britt, had no idea how quickly life would change less than a year into their marriage. Their family recently grew by ten after Ashley rescued a dog wandering near their home about four months ago. A veterinary exam revealed that the dog, Sundae, was pregnant, and within days she delivered nine puppies — turning the Beckhams’ once-q...

Do you remember Ole Hank Jr. singing about country folks who raise their young’uns to live off the land, say grace and ma’am? Well, I’d say Riley Green is most certainly one of those polite, country boys (who can survive), described in the song. In fact, I believe that home training helps Green maintain refinement around questionable company. No doubt the CMA winner offered up pr...

Imagine you’re aboard a plane, minutes from landing. You buckle up, return your tray table and gather your belongings. Then the captain’s voice crackles over the intercom, “Welcome to Dolly Parton International Airport.” That could soon be a reality. A Change.org petition launched in January 2025 to rename Nashville International Airport after the country music icon has sur...

Over the last six years or so, Carly Pearce has been on a journey of self discovery, which has taught her how to thrive mentally, physically and emotionally. Not only that, the songstress has developed a keen ability to recognize red flags and the confidence to stand her ground – especially when it comes to her kids...I mean dogs, Johnny and June. While discussing the inspiration behind her...

"When I'm done, I can rest in peace knowing I've done my best. I hope that when my time comes, I'll leave something behind that others can use to lift themselves up."   For many fans in Colorado, Dolly Parton has always felt like family. Her heartfelt storytelling in beloved songs like “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors”  and “I Will Always Love You” have...

Boy howdy, someone call the fire brigade, because Miranda Lambert set the stage on fire at Sturgis. I heard tell that the Triple Crown  ACM winner’s performance charmed the fringe off the leather-clad audience at the 86th annual motorcycle rally in South Dakota. Fans rocked-out to a full throttle set, which included gut-punch bangers such as "Kerosene," "White Liar," and "Gunpowder &amp...

Just when we thought it was safe to send a bunch of rednecks with gitfiddles to play internationally, sadly unforeseen circumstances end up sending the entire band off the rails. No, not in the Keith Moon, Ozzy Osbourne or Bailey Zimmerman kind of way. Rather, Colt Ford and his crew were involved in a nasty accident while traveling to a music festival in Germany. Ford shared a picture of their wre...

Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit, a sweet Georgia peach is turning the country music scene on its head. After eleven years of hustling in Music City, Miss Hannah Dasher has worked her way up from amuse-bouche to the main entrée. Now, how would one describe the 40-year-old Dasher? Let me put it to you this way: If the queen of country music had kinfolk from The Goober State, Da...

Well, dunk my donuts, here we go again. A few days ago, Billy Strings was playing a packed house at the Fisher Event Center in Indiana, and all seemed to be going well. That is, until a mystery projectile hit Strings in the head. In record time, hundreds of fan videos documenting the incident (as well as the "Leadfoot" singer’s not-safe-for-work meltdown) popped up online. “I was just...

Well hot dang, after over a decade in the music business, Post Malone (and I’m sure his daughter) are celebrating his latest career milestone. The rapper/rocker/popstar/country crooner rambled into the big city for a special performance on the world's most famous stoop. Yessum, Ole Posty made his Sesame Street debut in an episode called "Storm on Sesame Street." I know what you are thinking,...
