There are only a few things in life you can count on: heartbreak, humility, and the slow realization that you probably should’ve listened to your friends about him in the first place. For Just Jayne, that inevitability becomes the hook, and the punchline, on their radiant new single, “Death & Taxes.” Marking the trio’s first release of 2026, the track doesn’t just reintroduce them, it reasserts them. Confident. Clever. Unbothered. And just a little bit amused. Photo Provided

There’s a certain kind of heartbreak that doesn’t slam the door, it lingers in the doorway, hat in hand, waiting to see if you’ll change your mind. On his latest release, “Lovin’ You Yet,” Carson Beyer doesn’t beg. He doesn’t bargain. He simply tells the truth. And sometimes, that’s louder than any grand gesture. Photo Courtesy Of Carson Beyer Beyer returns with a soulful, country-blues slow burn that feels tailor-made for his voice, a voice that carries the kind of gravelly

There are moments in country music when the calendar stops mattering. A song written three decades ago suddenly breathes again. A voice once associated with yesterday sounds startlingly present tense. And a songwriter long woven into the genre’s foundation steps back into the spotlight not as a legacy act, but as a man still mid-sentence. That’s where Skip Ewing finds himself in 2025. Skip recently sat down with All Country News to chat old hits, and new songs. Credit Linda G

Nashville just got a little brighter for Luke Combs and his wife, Nicole, as the country superstar shared the joyous news: their family has grown by one more. Chet Wiley Combs has officially joined the lineup, becoming the newest member of a household already rich in love, and noise, with older brothers Tex and Beau.

Country fans, take note: Riley Green is trading guitar strings for a new kind of spotlight. The country star is set to make his acting debut as Garrett in the highly anticipated Yellowstone spinoff Marshalls, joining familiar faces Luke Grimes (Kayce Dutton) and Logan Marshall-Green (Cal).

On any given night, the neon glow of Lower Broadway hums like a heartbeat. Dreams are poured as freely as whiskey, and every open doorway promises a stage. This summer, one of country music’s biggest modern stars is adding his own chapter to that electric strip. Kane Brown is officially planting his flag in downtown Nashville with the opening of Kane Brown’s On Broadway, a four-story bar, restaurant and live music venue set to take over the historic building that once housed

On a night built for legends, redemption will take center stage. Multi-Grammy® Award winner Jelly Roll will officially be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on March 10, a milestone that feels less like a career achievement and more like destiny finally catching up. The invitation, once unimaginable for a kid from Antioch with a troubled past, now cements his place in the very circle he once watched from the pews. And fittingly, it will be family ushering him in. Opry member an

Country music is packing its bags for the shores of Lake Michigan this summer, and it’s bringing some serious star power with it. Summerfest Is Going Full Country in 2026 Set against the skyline of Milwaukee, Summerfest has always been a genre-blending giant. But in 2026, country fans might want to clear their calendars entirely. From legends to next-gen hitmakers, this year’s lineup reads like a CMA Awards seating chart, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. Photo

They call it sister harmony, but that feels too small for what Presley & Taylor are building. Photo Courtesy Of Presley & Taylor Spend five minutes with the duo and you realize this isn’t just blood harmony, it’s shared breath. Shared memory. Shared nerve. In an industry that too often pits women against each other, Presley & Taylor are proof that there’s another way forward: lock eyes, hold the note, and don’t let go. The sisters recently sat down with All Country News to ch

If there’s one thing we know about Lainey Wilson, it’s that subtle has never been part of the dress code. Fringe? Yes. Bell bottoms? Absolutely. Fire-breathing, stage-commanding confidence stitched straight into the seams? Always. Courtesy of Wrangler So when Lainey teamed up with Wrangler for her new summer collab, the only appropriate response was: just take our money. Festival season is calling, concert calendars are filling up, and this collection feels tailor-made for g

There’s a particular kind of courage required to start over without actually starting from scratch. After 15 years of building a following under a different name, the Nashville-raised quartet now known as Breakfield aren’t erasing their history, they’re reframing it. Credit: David McClister Their self-titled album, due June 12 via Rounder Records, feels less like a debut and more like a revelation: the sound of a band realizing, in real time, who they were supposed to be all

Country music talks a lot about showing up, for your people, your town, your faith, your neighbor. But every once in a while, the genre stops singing about it and actually does it. That’s what unfolded on a recent night in Tampa, when a hurricane recovery story quietly turned into a moment nobody in the building will ever forget.

The calendar may say 2026, but the soundtrack is already set to summer. Two artists who have built their careers on very different corners of the same emotional highway, barefoot-on-the-sand nostalgia and back-against-the-amp intensity are about to share a stage. Today, multi-platinum hitmaker Billy Currington and road-warrior rocker Kip Moore announced the Live In Concert Tour, a 16-city run that promises a night where cold beer melodies meet arena-ready grit. The tour launc

There was a time not all that long ago when country music crossing into Montréal felt like a novelty. A curiosity. A Nashville postcard dropped in a city built on jazz, indie rock and late-night electronic sets. Now? It’s a migration. This summer, the St. Lawrence River will again reflect cowboy hats instead of skyline lights as LASSO Montréal celebrates its fifth anniversary and in doing so, quietly cements itself as one of the most important international stages for mode

Country music has never met a party theme quite like this. Courtesy Of Megan Moroney On Facebook To celebrate the release of her new album Cloud 9 , Megan Moroney is taking things to new heights, and keeping it delightfully on-brand. Nine shows. Nine cities. Nine dollars. Yes, you read that right. Dubbed the ultimate “Cloud 9” victory lap, Moroney is hitting the road for a limited run of intimate pop-up performances across the country, with tickets priced at just $9. In an er

Josiah Leming has never been an artist built for the middle of the road. His songs tend to live on the shoulder, dusty, dented, and staring straight at the long way home. Today, the singer-songwriter known as Josiah and the Bonnevilles steps into a new chapter with a fitting partner: Rounder Records. Alongside the signing announcement comes news of his forthcoming album As Is , due May 8, and the release of a bruising first single that wastes no time setting the tone. Credit:

Dustin Lynch - Getaway Car Dustin Lynch has never been afraid of momentum, but on his latest release, he doesn’t just chase it. He floors it. With “Getaway Car,” the multi-platinum country hitmaker delivers a neon-lit adrenaline rush that trades barstools for burnouts and small talk for speed. It’s a track built on motion, impulse, and that split-second decision to leave the ordinary in the dust and Lynch sounds right at home behind the wheel. From its opening pulse, “Getaway

In an era where country music often moves at the speed of the algorithm, Clay Street Unit is choosing something riskier: patience, texture, and truth. With their new 11-track album Sin & Squalor , released via Leo33, the group doesn’t just introduce themselves, they establish a creative identity sturdy enough to last longer than a viral moment.

After nine years of near silence as a recording act, The Band Perry didn’t tiptoe back into country music, they kicked the door off the hinges. Their new single, “PSYCHOLOGICAL,” is not a gentle reintroduction. It’s a velvet-lined spiral into romantic obsession, theatrical, unhinged, Southern Gothic, and unmistakably Perry. Built on a haunting piano figure and detonated by a waltzing, genre-bending arrangement, the track feels less like a comeback single and more like a state

Drayton Farley has always been country music’s “if you know you know” artist, an instinctual storyteller whose songs sneak up on you and linger long after the last chord. With his new single, “I Need Your Love”, Farley proves that sometimes the songs you almost hide away are the ones that hit the hardest. Written when he was just 18, Farley admits he spent years avoiding the track. “I spent over a decade running from this song. I kept trying to run, but thanks to my wife and
