Surprising everyone and meeting Mr. Worldwide for the first time in person, the crowd roared as Adkins took the stage. “… Music is so beautiful. It brings everybody together; unites, it doesn’t divide,” Pitbull said. “And we made this record, and I haven’t even had the chance to meet the people on the record yet. So tonight, I get the chance to meet somebody in person that I have tremendous respect for, and also get a chance to perform this record with, so we are going to perform in Nashville and meet for the first time. This, folks, is called ‘history in the making’…” (pics below)
Adkins recently released a party-starting video featuring cameos with collaborators Luke Bryan and Pitbull to go along with the track, and critics across the industry have hailed THE WAY I WANNA GO as a “creative tour de force”(Billboard).

Jake Owen releases the fun, sing-along "Drunk On A Boat"

NASHVILLE, TENN. (October 8, 2021) - Big Loud Records’ MULTI-PLATINUM entertainer Jake Owen drops anchor on a good time with his new track “Drunk On A Boat,” letting worries float away today (10/8).

Out now as a choose-happiness themed anthem, it’s all about riding the waves of a carefree day on the water – instead of a dull day back on land. Featuring a breezy melody and a weekend-anytime singalong, it’s the perfect vessel for Owen’s easy-going Country style.
"When I heard this song for the first time, I knew it was right on-brand for me,” says Owen. “I wanted to release ’Drunk On A Boat’ as the sun sets on the season and give everyone a feel-good summer memory as we head into fall.” 
“Drunk On A Boat” was written by Rodney Clawson, Jake Mitchell and David Lee Murphy, and produced by Joey Moi. 


Listen to "Drunk On A Boat' here.
The new track follows last month’s release of Owen’s current single, “Best Thing Since Backroads,” which is nearing Top 20 at Country radio after becoming the #1 most-added week upon its arrival. 
Both of the new songs mark a new chapter from the Florida-born hit-maker, after 2019’s extremely successful GREETINGS FROM…JAKE album. That project featured three chart-toppers (“I Was Jack (You Were Diane),” “Homemade,” “Made for You”) and a PLATINUM-certified smash (“Down to the Honkytonk”) – and just crossed ONE BILLION on-demand streams in August. 
On October 9, Owen will headline The Flamingo Jam in his hometown of Vero Beach, Florida, with proceeds benefiting The Jake Owen Foundation and its mission to support children battling cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases. And he’ll finish out the month with an October 30 appearance at the star-studded iHeartCountry Festival in Austin, Texas.

LISTEN UP: DUSTIN LYNCH IS CLAIMING “HUNTIN’ LAND” WITH RILEY GREEN

 

NASHVILLE, TENN. (October 1, 2021) — Broken Bow Records star Dustin Lynch’s got a 12-Point plan in his newest collaboration, “Huntin’ Land (feat. Riley Green),” available now at all streaming platforms and digital retailers.
“‘Huntin’ Land’ is one of those fun songs that we can listen to and have a laugh at while hanging with our buddies,” shares Lynch. “I’ve been playing this one out at shows recently, and it’s been cool watching fans react in real time to it. So pumped Riley [Green] was able to hop on it too. Now we need to get a hunt on the books!”

Following the hunt over his heart, Lynch is biting the bullet and sticking it out – not for the girl, but for her daddy’s “Huntin’ Land.” Going through hell for a little slice of God’s country, he justifies, “If I ain’t in the stand / I’ll be holding her hand,” in the banjo-heavy runner produced by Zach Crowell and penned by Lynch, Andy Albert, Hunter Phelps, and Will Weatherly. That is, at least until December.

From the farm to the woods, Lynch and Green pull the trigger on a day every country boy dreams of in the adjoining music video. Directed by Matthew Paskert, watch as the avid outdoorsmen get Lynch’s own real-life farm in tip-top shape for hunting season. Fans can also spot cameo appearances by some of hunting’s most popular faces like the Drury Outdoors crew, Nate Hosie (HeadHunters TV), Phillip Culpepper (Realtree Outdoors), and Michael Waddell (Realtree Outdoors).
