  • Garth Brooks Sets Forbes Record for Country Income; Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean Place

    Garth Brooks managed to not only become the highest-earning country musician of the last year, but he also brought in the most cash ever by a performer in that genre, according to Forbes and its annual Country Cash Kings list. The biggest performer of the '90s from that scene has brought in more than $90 million, according to the list. Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan did well, but came in far behind Brooks.

  • Kenny Chesney Named Taste of Country 2016 Headliner...before 2015 Event Ends

    Music festivals are releasing their lineups earlier and earlier and Taste of Country has set a high bar by naming Kenny Chesney as the 2016 headliner before the 2015 event is even over. It's a bold move, as apparently the promoters of the event—which is currently in its third year—have already booked the venue for next year as well. Confidence is good, right?

  • Memorial Day 2015: Musicians Remember Fallen Veterans, Thankful for Service on Twitter

    It's Memorial Day 2015, and while everyone gets ready to go on picnics, head to the beach, eat BBQ, hang out with loved ones and generally open up the summer season, musicians are right there along with us. Of course, the real meaning of Memorial Day comes down to those who have served for this country and sacrificed their lives, and some of the biggest names in music have logged onto Twitter to honor the fallen.

  • 5 NFL Stars Gone Country: Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman and More

    Peyton Manning's Children's Hospital fundraiser took a fun turn last weekend when the Denver Broncos quarterback took the stage with headliner Dierks Bentley to perform a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Manning's musical dynamism was about as weak as you might expect, but as it was strictly for-the-kids, we'd be jerks to mock him for it. He wasn't the first NFL player to take a crack at country music however...in fact, players such as Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman have done the deed in a more professional setting. Here are five country releases from acts that got their start on the gridiron.

  • Justin Timberlake, Ludacris, Jimmy Buffett: Best Musician's Restaurants

    Arcade Fire's first couple Win Butler and Régine Chassagne announced this week that they would become the next musical act to enter the dining business with Agrikol, a Haitian restaurant in the band's hometown of Montreal. The space will also offer Haitian music and visual arts as part of the experience. The couple obviously has a culinary interest in the Caribbean nation, as Butler's special blend from La Colombe Coffee also featured beans from the country. Let's hope that their business doesn't bite the dust like Britney Spears and Flava Flav's attempts, and instead is a success, much like these restaurants run by Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Buffett and more.

  • Toby Keith Joins Keith Urban, Tim McGraw & The Band Perry as Country Jam 2015 Headliner

    Country Jam 2015 is starting to look just a little more complete. After announcing headliners Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and The Band Perry over the last few months, today (Jan. 22), the annual country music festival has announced its final major performer, and it's a doozy. Yes, "Drunk Americans" singer and legendary country act Toby Keith has been announced as the fourth headlining performer.

  • Toby Keith Not Changing Anything on New Album

    Messing with a successful artist's formula is dangerous stuff. And while Toby Keith is known as one of country's biggest badasses, he's not exactly champing at the bit to switch up the sound that's gotten him this far.
