Australian pop singer Cody Simpson’s new album “Free” is available for pre-orders! We were a bit confused when we first heard the words “free” and “pre-order” in the same sentence, but then we realized his album is called “Free” and that you still have to pay for the album. The meaning behind the album title is pretty cool – this album is the first time that Cody has been “free” to create the music that he’s always wanted to. His first album as an independent artist will be released on June 25th! Cody’s new sound is the perfect soundtrack for Summer nights at the beach. Check out the tracklisting below!

1. Free

It’s always interesting to see how an artist goes viral these days. Our latest artist to watch, Chris Janson, shot to the top of the charts after his single “Buy Me A Boat” was played on the Bobby Bones Show. He spun this track to rave reviews (twice in an hour once which on radio is almost unheard of) and soon enough the track climbed the iTunes charts, kicking Sam Hunt and Little Big Town out of the top spots on the country chart, while also reaching #7 on the overall chart. Pretty impressive for any artist, let alone an unsigned one! Head to Rolling Stone for more of Chris’ remarkable story.
Of course, social media played a part as well, as more and more people shared the track on Twitter. We have to thank Dan Smyers (of Dan+Shay) for introducing us to this one. And we’ve had it on repeat ever since! Take a listen below, and you’ll see what we mean.
The song’s popularity hasn’t gone unnoticed by the industry. Last week, CMT announced plans to produce a music video for the song, a first in the network’s history. We wouldn’t be surprised to see it shoot to #1 on the CMT Hot 20 Countdown, too! And Chris Janson is an independent artist no longer – he just inked a deal with Warner Nashville, and shared this perfect photo to make the announcement.
Even if you haven’t heard of rising country band Old Dominion, chances are you’ve heard a track or two that one of the members have written. Does “Say You Do?” ring a bell? Or “Ex To See?” Old Dominion is Matthew Ramsey (Lead Vocals, Guitar); Brad Tursi (Lead Guitar, Vocals); Trever Rosen (Guitar, Keys, Vocals); Geoff Sprung (Bass, Vocals); and Whit Sellers (Drums). They’ve written for Dierks Bentley, Tyler Farr, Sam Hunt, The Band Perry, Dustin Lynch … and that’s just to name a few. Their own single, “Break Up With Him,” has been slowly climbing the charts and dominating Sirius XM’s “The Highway” countdown.
“The Highway” hosted two back to back sold out shows with Old Dominion at Joe’s Pub last night. We’re glad we got to experience the band live before they move onto bigger venues – like oh, Met Life Stadium in NJ? They’ll be playing there in August, opening up for Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney on their Summer tour.
We’ve heard people ask what’s happened to rock music? Well if you’re looking for it, country music is a good place to start. Old Dominion is a country act, but they sure know how to rock. Their set included a mix of material they have written for other artists, and tracks off of their EP, released earlier this month. The band is incredibly energetic and fun to watch live, interacting with audience members and each other. It’s nice to see a full country band as well, with each member bringing something different to the table.
Pickup a copy of the Old Dominion EP on iTunes or Amazon now! Head over to OldDominionBand.com to check out their upcoming tour dates. If they’re playing in a small venue near you, we highly suggest checking them out while you have a chance! Watch them perform “Break Up With Him” below.
Nick Jonas is teaming up with Hilton Hotels to perform live exclusively on Twitter’s new live streaming video app, Periscope, tonight at 9:15pm EST! This marks the first time an entire live concert will be streamed on Periscope. The show will be broadcast from the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.
Fans are invited to have a virtual front row seat to this once in a lifetime concert by downloading the Periscope app and following @HiltonHHonors on Twitter. You know when you can’t make it to a concert, and your best friend Facetimes you during your favorite song? We imagine this is something like that. Only you’ll be watching from the best seat in the house. We’ll definitely be tuning in and here’s hoping for many more Periscope concerts in the future!
We’re still fangirling over Nick’s performance with Dan + Shay at the ACM Awards last weekend. Watch what happened behind the scenes in rehearsal!
Last night’s 50th annual ACM Awards made the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most attended live awards show ever. Thousands of country stars and fans packed the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, and the crowd’s energy level was off the charts. Performances included everyone from George Straight and Garth Brooks, to newcomers Thomas Rhett, Sam Hunt and Best New Artist Winner Cole Swindell.
One highlight of the night was when Dan + Shay took the stage with Nick Jonas. They performed a special mashup of their hit “Nothin’ Like You,” along with Nick’s solo tracks “Jealous” and “Chains.” When we first heard they were performing together, we weren’t quite sure what to expect with such different sounds. But the mashup, produced by Dan Smyers, perfectly mixed the songs and genres together, with a stellar 3-part harmony. And of course there’s nothing like Shay Mooney’s voice (chills, every time.)
Watch the performance below!

We suggest jumping on tickets to this one, as both artists are selling out their summer headlining tours. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 24th at 10am.
