New Hollow just released the music video for their new single “Jiffy Jane.” The black and white video has a cinematic feel, following the adventures of a teddy bear that seemingly has a mind of his own. The vibe fits perfectly with the song. The video was produced, shot and edited by band members Mookie Clouse, Evan West and Chad Blashford, and their friends. Watch the video for “Jiffy Jane” below!
We’ve had this track on repeat since it was released last month, and we can’t wait for New Hollow’s upcoming album. Pickup a copy of “Jiffy Jane” on iTunes or Amazon now!

The 50th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards air this Sunday, April 19th, on CBS! We’re especially excited about this year’s group of Best New Artist nominees, along with some more familiar faces. Don’t forget you can vote for Best New Artist and Entertainer of the Year at VoteACM.com up until the start of the show! Here are our favorite tracks from some of this year’s ACM Award Nominees.
1. Thomas Rhett – “Front Porch Junkies” Nominated for Best New Artist
We fell for Thomas’ funky country style, and after seeing him live he is one of our favorite performers, ever. We love all the Best New Artist nominees (really, you can’t go wrong), but we can’t help but root for the Home Team.
2. Dan + Shay – “What You Do To Me” Nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year
This is one of our favorite songs of all time, of any genre, and quickly made its way to the top of our most played tracks. We can’t wait to see Dan + Shay + Nick (Jonas) perform at this year’s show!
3. Cole Swindell – “Let Me See Ya Girl” Nominated for Best New Artist
Cole has written hit after hit for artists like Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georiga Line, and more. His debut album has had 3 #1 singles and counting. It’s one of those albums where every song is your jam.
4. Sam Hunt – “Breakup In A Small Town” Nominated for Best New Artist
We. Are. Obsessed. With. This. Song. The perfect representation of Sam’s R&B / country mashup. Sam has been dominating the charts lately since “Montevallo” was released late last year, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled off a win.
5. Kacey Musgraves – “Biscuits” Nominated for Song of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year
Kacy’s throwback music and sartorial style (she and her band are always on point) is a refreshing change. We can’t wait for Kacey’s upcoming album!

Dan + Shay’s “Where It All Began Tour” stopped at a packed Starland Ballroom in NJ on Saturday night. If you’ve been to any concert in New Jersey, you know the crowds can get crazy, and this was definitely one of the best we’ve experienced. It’s been wonderful to see the support for Dan + Shay grow since we first saw them around a year ago (Mohegan!) and their live show is not to be missed. There’s nothing like a first time feeling, but they just get better and better each time we see them.
Opening act Canaan Smith got the crowd pumped up with his hit single “Love You Like That,” and songs from his recently released EP like “Hole In The Bottle” and “Mad Love.” Canaan also played a serious rock cover of Nick Jonas’ smash single “Jealous.” The Virginia native knows how to get a crowd singing and dancing along even if they’re not familiar with him.
One of the best things about watching Dan + Shay perform is seeing just how much they love being on stage. If you can find something to do that makes you half as happy as they are performing, then you’d be pretty lucky. Their passion and energy on stage is unrivaled – they really give it all on stage night after night. And still make time for a post-show meet and greet. We still get chills every time during “19 You + Me” when they let the crowd sing, and see their genuine reaction to having people sing one of their songs. Although really the whole concert is one big singalong from start to finish. They played almost every song from their debut album, “Where It All Began,” a fun new track, “Partner in Crime,” and a few covers for good measure.
They certainly know their Jersey audience, as their set included covers of Journey and Def Leppard, and a little Guns N Roses, proving they know how to rock. As we’ve said before, we’re sure they would have found success in any genre they chose, but we’re sure glad they chose country! Shay Mooney’s voice is also chill-inducing, and harmonizes perfectly with Dan Smyers, who played both guitar and piano during the show.
As usual, they had a small acoustic set before the concert AKA the return of the Tent Concert Series, where it all began for the duo. The acoustic set gives fans a chance to ask questions, hang out with the guys, and hear a couple of songs in an intimate setting before the show. We are always impressed by how great Dan + Shay are to their fans, and how much they appreciate each person that comes out to see them.
Dan + Shay are nominated for Duo of the Year at the ACM Awards for the 2nd year in a row! Make sure to tune into the awards on CBS April 19th to cheer them on and catch their performance with Nick Jonas!

It’s been a long week, feels like two! We’re counting down the days until our first outdoor concert this summer but until then, here is our Friday Five songs that we’ve had stuck in our heads all week!
After weeks of teasing fans with snippets of a new song on his social media, Thomas Rhett finally released a brand new track off his upcoming album! “Crash and Burn” is the first single from his sophomore album, expected later this summer. The track was co-written by Chris Stapleton. In the vein of his current #1 hit, “Makes Me Wanna,” the new track is bringing a funky, soulful vibe to country music. Thomas has said his upcoming album is influenced by artists like Bruno Mars. Guess he wants to funk country music up! (Sorry, we had to)
Listen to Thomas’ new single “Crash And Burn” below and pickup a copy on iTunes now!
Thomas is nominated for Best New Artist at the 2015 ACM Awards, against fellow nominees Sam Hunt and Cole Swindell. Fan voting for your fave is open now at VoteACM.com (Don’t make us choose! Although, we can’t help but root for the Home Team…) The awards air on CBS on April 19th.
