Sawyer Brown and Shenandoah are teaming up for a tour in 2024 to celebrate Sawyer Brown's 40th anniversary. The tour will kick off in April in Texas and run through November, with Shenandoah joining for 12 dates in Canada. In March, Sawyer Brown will release a new album with the working title Desperado Troubadours. Shenandoah, known for hits like "The Church on Cumberland Road" and "Two Dozen Roses," released a new song in 2023 and a new version of "Two Dozen Roses" featuring Luke Combs. The tour will showcase hits from both bands and celebrate their successful careers in country music.
Chris Young will headline Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th presented by Dr Pepper. The downtown Nashville event will present one of the largest July 4th fireworks shows - which for the first time will include drone light elements - synchronized to live music from the GRAMMY-winning Nashville Symphony. The event will also feature the free Amazon Family Fun Zone and include inflatables and live music. The concert and fireworks show are free and open to the public.
At a performance this week at the Grand Ole Opry, Jelly Roll delighted fans with a song he'd never played publicly before. Tuesday night at the Ryman, JR cleared playing the untested song for the crowd, asking "Is that okay with y’all? We might not ever release this song. We’re just gonna play it for y’all and see if it works." Judging by the enthusiastic response from the audience, "Liar" may be on Jelly's next album - if not released sooner.
