David Browne at Rolling Stone:

OVER THE LAST few years, the Gulf Coast Jam, a multi-day concert blowout held every spring in Panama City Beach, Florida, has become one of country music’s leading festivals, pulling in headliners like Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, and Kenny Chesney. But recently, festival producer Rendy Lovelady has noticed something unusual backstage. “Ten or 15 years ago, everybody would sit in a circle around the table, pull out their guitars and start singing old country songs,” he says. “There was a lot of camaraderie. Whereas now, the camaraderie has definitely lessened. They tend to stay in their own community.” Part of Lovelady wonders if it’s the lingering after-effects of Covid-19, which forced touring performers to interact as little as possible with anyone outside their circle. But it’s also possible that the drop-off in backstage hangtime is a sign of something else: the national culture wars seeping into the traditionally close-knit country community, a space where artists often take pains to refer to their peers as “my good buddy” or compliment one another.

From less personal interaction backstage to public online feuds, country music is slowly being pulled into the same battles that have infiltrated nearly every aspect of American life and entertainment. “It really is weird right now,” says one leading country manager, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the moment. “Country music has aways been this kind of neighborhood where everyone gets along. We had everyone’s back. But it doesn’t feel that way anymore. The heels are dug in more than ever. It’s pretty heavy.” The manager has also witnessed the same backstage chilliness that Lovelady recounts. However, he says it is unquestioningly due to opposing political ideologies and beliefs. “I’ve always enjoyed seeing people in the hallways backstage,” he says. “But it’s not like that. You tend to avoid people, because everyone talks politics backstage. Everyone used to leave their dressing room doors open. The doors are shut now.”

The major signs that Nashville is visibly fracturing have all happened fairly recently. In August of last year, country and alt-pop singer Cassadee Pope, and then Maren Morris, took Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany to task for making seemingly transphobic comments. (“I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase,” Brittany Aldean posted.) This summer, her husband’s song “Try That in a Small Town,” and especially its controversial music video, led to Americana songwriter Jason Isbell tweeting, “Dare Aldean to write his next single himself. That’s what we try in my small town.” On X (the social media site formerly known as Twitter), Jake Owen, a mainstream country singer, seemed to side with Aldean. He clapped back at Isbell by writing in part, “Jason, you’re always the first to get behind your keyboard and spout off with this stupid shit.” (He since posted that he “came in hot on the conversation because I’m passionate about” songwriters.) The public tiffs also included Zach Bryan, whose duet with Kacey Musgraves “I Remember Everything” is on track to be the Number One song in the nation, taking a shot in April at country acts “insulting transgender people.” The comment was prompted by veteran Travis Tritt’s tweet that he would be “deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider” following a Bud Light promotion that featured transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Bryan, who said that he wasn’t aiming directly at Tritt, later talked it out in person with the Nineties star at a music festival in Texas, with Bryan calling Tritt “a good guy” and Tritt saying, “So glad we had a chance to chat, Zach.”

Although these feuds haven’t dominated the genre, they also haven’t gone unnoticed. “Like all industries, we’re not immune from the external pressures and the world at large,” says R.J. Romeo, president of the Romeo Entertainment Group, a leading talent agency that books country acts. “So naturally, there’s more divisiveness in the country now than ever before. That’s going to show up in opinions on music and everything.” The history of country music hasn’t been without its share of fights and rumbles; ask anyone who’s worked on an awards show or at a festival and you’ll hear tales of artists grumbling about their peers’ egos, sales figures, or place on the bill. In 2013, Zac Brown made waves when he called Luke Bryan’s song “That’s My Kind of Night” the “worst song I’ve ever heard.” They later hammed it up and hugged it out on live TV at the CMA Awards.

Public quarrels over politics, meanwhile, have been as rare as synthesizer solos in the genre. The then-Dixie Chicks’ feud with Toby Keith, which started when Chicks singer Natalie Maines criticized one of Keith’s songs in a 2002 interview and caught fire after Maines dissed George W. Bush onstage in the U.K. over the 2003 Iraq invasion, was one of the few times in recent memory when open warfare broke out among country artists over political matters. Such quarrels may become more common. “With everything heating up with the presidential race, people are beginning to have very distinct opinions,” Lovelady says. And the shift, involving country stars of different generations and accelerated by social media, has been jarring for longtime observers. Country acts, Romeo says, “all go through media training, and they’re usually very diplomatic or middle of the road with a lot of their responses. But I’ve seen more artists come out of what we call ‘the artist bubble’ and show more of their true self, you could say — or their less polished self.”

Rolling Stone explores how the culture wars are roiling the once-tightknit community of country music fans.

Top 5 musicians (bands or solo artists) you'd love to see live (or slready have, that's cool too!) ^^

ohhhh this is hard because I've recently become such a pop music girlie and it's 100% Joker Out's fault

Joker Out - I have seen them live, but it was the concert where Bojan was having a panic attack the entire time so I kind of feel like I deserve a do-over. Which I'm hopefully going to get in about a month!

Cassadee Pope - one of my other music faves, she won the voice in 2012 and I just find her music so empowering and cathartic and she should be way more famous than she actually is in my opinion.

Eurovision. I know that's not a band or an artist but I would kill to be able to attend it live and not from across an ocean.

there are some other Slovenian artists I'd love to see live, like Siddharta or Zan Sercic, because I don't know what kind of crack they put into Slovenian music to make it sound better live but all of it sounds better live. Usually I think the recordings sound better or can't tell the difference but with Slovenian music? Idk. It's wild.

I gotta admit, I'm really stuck on this one. I can't think of one so I guess I'l brag about how I saw Alexander Rybak live a few months after he won Eurovision (yes, I'm kinda old, the members of JO were like 9 years old when that happened)

Remember when I mentioned that master list on the playlist? I wrote it

“I’m Ready For Something” Playlist Breakdown

As noted yesterday (time got away from me lololol), I have an entire playlist (I posted it last week) that I consider relateable to these two, or who have inspired writing in some form or another. Figured I’d break that down. 

Also, I get that country isn’t really most people’s jams…but I’ll make note of specific lyrics where I can. Finally, I’m working on ordering these in some semblance, but we’re not quite all the way there, especially as the playlist grows.

There are also songs currently on the playlist that I didn't yet include here because I'm not sure about them remaining on it.

Alas: 

Song:On My Way To You

Artist (Album): Cody Johnson (Ain’t Nothin’ To It) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: This could really go both ways, but I really hold this one in regard for Buck. 

Noted lyrics: “all the boats I’ve missed/all the hell I’ve caused/all the lips I’ve kissed/all the love I’ve lost/I’ve been kicked around/I’ve ben black and blue/on my way to you” // “every curve, every ditch/every turn, every bridge/I left behind me, up in smoke/every fork in the road/it was all worthwhile when I finally saw you smile” 

-This one feels kinda obvious to itself, but it feels like a precursor to the entire relationship.

. . . 

Song: First Date (cover) 

Artist: Taylor Acorn (First Date - Acoustic) [Originally by Blink182) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: 90% Buck/10% Tommy

Noted lyrics: Literally every damn line in the song. Y’know, minus the disaster ending of their first date. 

. . . 

Song: To Hell & Back

Artist: Maren Morris (Girl)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both. But also I still apply this one a lot to Buck. Although the discussion of “some was coming off my jacket” does alude to 706. 

Noted lyrics: “smoke was coming off my jacket/and you didn’t seem to mind” // “you didn’t save me/you didn’t think I needed saving/you didn’t change me/you didn’t think I needed changing” // “I wonder how you treasure what anyone would call a flaw”// “When my demons come a’callin, you don’t even bat an eye/ I don’t scare you, and I guess that’s why” 

. . .

Song: Your Arms Feel Like Home

Artist: 3 Doors Down (3 Doors Down)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck, straight up

Noted lyrics: “there’s a life inside of me that I can feel again/it’s the only thing that takes me where I’ve never been” // “it don’t matter where I lay my head tonight, your arms feel like home” 

. . . 

Song: Daylight Artist: Taylor Swift (Lover)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “it’s morning now, its brighter now” // “I don’t want to look at anything else now that I saw you/ I don’t want to think of anything else now that I’ve thought of you” // “now I see daylight, I only see daylight” // “I can still see it all in my mind/all of you, all of me, intertwined/I once believed love would be black and white, but it’s golden”

-This is one that could really in some ways be the whole song, but the noted lyrics are what strike me most.

. . .

Song: Feels Like This

Artist: Ingrid Andress (Good Person)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted lyrics: “I thought I knew what, I knew what love was/Guess I didn’t know at all” // “it’s funny how I used to make excuses, excuses as often as I breathed” // “Ive been to pretty dark places, stuck in toxic situations, but you taste like security, and that’s new for me” 

-I’ve kinda noted that this one gets me a little teary because regardless of your feelings about B/T, this is so accurate for Buck in general. 

. . . 

Song: Arms

Artist: Christina Perri (lovestrong.) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Honestly, Tommy? But also Buck. 

Noted lyrics: “you put your arms around me, and I believe it’s easier for you to let me go/you put your arms around me, and I’m home” // “I hope that you catch me, cause I’m already falling” 

-This one can really go back and forth. I could disect the entire song to each side, but I’m too lazy for that. 

. . . 

Song: Edge of a Thunderstorm

Artist: Cassadee Pope (frame by frame)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck!? 

Noted Lyrics: “I’ll tell you now, I’ve never felt like this//the touch of your hand, the thought of your kiss” // “maybe I’m gonna get swept away, I’ll worry about that some sunny day/cause I can’t wait to taste that rain” // “so right, the way you look at me/feels like something’s coming” 

Song: You Are The Reason

Artist: Calum Scott (Only Human) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: …

Noted Lyrics: I mean the whole song, but also… 

I go back and forth on this one. I mean it’s still a sweet love song, but it’s a little much. I’ve considered removing it, but the chorus does fit…a little. 

. . .

Song: If I Told You

Artist: Darius Rucker (When Was The Last Time) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both. There’s so much lore in this song that could be investigated

Noted Lyrics: Basically the whole song, but: “if I told you all the stupid things I’ve done/I’ve blamed on being young, but I was old enough to know, I know” // “if I told you I barely know what love is, but girl if that’s what this is, I don’t want to let it slip away” 

—I honestly just try to ignore the gendering… 

. . . 

Song: if you’re not the one

Artist: Daniel Bedingfield (Gotta Get Thru This) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy 

Noted Lyrics: “I don’t wanna run away, but I can’t take it, I don’t understand/if I’m not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am/is there any way that I can stay in your arms”  

-this one resounds with me a lot around 704/705. We can clearly look back at the end of 703 and see that there was a shift happening now, and I think as we move into 710/s8, we’ll see some more of those shifts. 

. . . 

Song: You And Me 

Artist: Lifehouse (Lifehouse) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “its you and me, and all of the people” // “I’m tripping on words, you’ve got my head spinning/I don’t know where to go from here”// “there’s something about you now, that I can’t quite figure out” 

. . . 

Song: Love You Again

Artist: Chase Matthew (Love You Again)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “tonight I’m gonna love you like I’m never gonna love you again” 

This one really made it in as something to write romancy/sexy stuff to. 

. . . 

Song: The Other Side

Artist: Jason Derulo

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “tonight, take me to the other side/sparks fly like the fourth of July”//“tonight, kiss me like it’s do or die, and take me to the other side” 

Refer to the previous song in the list

. . .

Song: never til now 

Artist: Ashley Cooke, Brett Young

Buck/Tommy/Both: It’s a duet. So both. 

Noted Lyrics: The whole song

-I feel the chorus fits both well, but you can also extrapolate both sides of the songs to each of them as well. 

. . . 

Song: Holy Water

Artist: Brett Eldredge (holy water) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “you are my holy water/you are my river deep/wash me away and take me higher/something ‘bout your love just sets me free” 

. . .

Song: conversations in the dark 

Artist: John Legend (conversations in the dark)

Buck/Tommy/Both: both

Noted Lyrics: The entire second verse

This is another one of those that comes across better as something to write to.

. . . 

Song: Black

Artist: Dierks Bentley (Black)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy

Noted Lyrics: “make my world go black, hit me like a heart attack/knock me flat on my back” // “I swear I don’t know how long that I can last, make my world go black” 

-sexy time writing song 

. . . 

Song: Brand New Man

Artist: Brooks & Dunn [with Luke Combs] (Reboot) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “I used to love ‘em and leave ‘em, oh I’d brag about my freedom” // “baby you and me together, feels more like forever than anything I’ve ever known” 

. . .

Song: prayed for you 

Artist: matt stell 

Buck/Tommy/Both: tommy

Noted Lyrics: “I’ve never been one to ask for help/if I need a mountain moved, I’ll move it myself” // “every single day before I knew your name, I couldn’t see your face, but I prayed for you” // “on the highway to hell, I prayed for you” 

. . . 

Song: Champagne

Artist: Cassadee Pope (frame by frame) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “it’s been hours now, haven’t had a drop, but this feeling won’t stop” // “you’re my champagne, baby you go straight to my head” // “Words trippin, heart skippiin’, one look and my world’s spinnin’ out” 

. . . 

Song: From All Sides

Artist: Lights (Little Machines) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: both

Noted Lyrics: the whole song. 

-just another good song to write to. 

. . . 

Song: skydiving

Artist: Lights (Skin and Earth)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: THE WHOLE DAMN SONG.

-I know she didn’t actually write this whole song about sex, but it listens that way 

. . . 

Song: Wanted

Artist: Hunter Hayes (Hunter Hayes: Encore) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy

Noted Lyrics: “everything that don’t make sense about me/makes sense when I’m with you” // “I wanna wrap you up, wanna kiss your lips, I wanna make you feel wanted/I wanna call you mine, wanna hold your hand forever, and never let you forget it” // “anyone can tell you you’re pretty, and you get that all the time, I know you do” // “I wanna show you what I see tonight” 

-cheesy ballad aside, there’s something to be said with this one in relation to how Tommy views Buck and treats him, especially in relation to the people Buck has been with in the past. 

. . . 

Song: Kiss Me Slowly

Artist: Parachute

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck in the verses, Tommy in the chorus

Noted Lyrics: “I can you there with the city lights, fourteenth floor, pale blue eyes, I can breathe you in/two shadows standing by the bedroom door, no I could not want you more as I did right then, as our heads leaned in” // “hold my breath as you’re moving in, taste your lips and feel your skin” // “when the time comes, baby don’t run, just kiss me slowly” // “and it’s hard to love again, when the only way it’s been, when the only love you knew, just walked away” 

-someone who created a bucktommy video to this song reminded me of it, and it’s been one of the biggest sources of inspiration for writing any kind of fluff around them. 

. . .

Song: I Want Crazy 

Artist: Hunter Hayes (Hunter Hayes: Encore) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “I don’t want good, and I don’t good enough, I want can’t sleep, can’t breathe without your love/front porch and one more kiss” 

I mean the concept of the song is kinda the direct opposite of their (so far) very stable and normal relationship, but it’s the cheesy falling in love aspect that I think fits. 

. . .

Song: The Good Ones

Artist: Gabby Barrett (Goldmine) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: JUST THE WHOLE DAMN SONG OKAY. “Anybody can be good once, but he’s good all the time/he’s one of the good ones, and he’s all mine” // “you’ll know him when you see him by the way he looks at me/you’d say he hung the moon, I’d say he hung the galaxy” 

-THIS ONE MAKES ME UGLY CRY 

. . .

Song: From The Ground Up 

Artist: Dan + Shay (Obsessed) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “we’ll build this love from the ground up” // “it’s all of me, all of you, just take my hand” 

. . . 

Song: Yours

Artist: Russel Dickerson (Yours)

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics: “I came to life when I first kissed you/the best me has his arms around/you make me better than I was before/thank god I’m yours” // “empty pockets at a roulette, always landing on lost bet/ just live for the spin and hope for the win, go all in just to lose again”//

-I think this one goes both ways on different lyrics. For instance, you can really apply the chorus to Tommy, while the noted line about roulette really fits Buck. 

. . .  

Song: I Think I’m In Love

Artist: Taylor Acorn (Certified Depressant) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck 

Noted Lyrics: “you got me feeling things that, that I have never felt before” // “you came in without warning, straight knocked me off my feet” // “I don’t wanna fuck this up/maybe it’s a little too much/but I think I’m in love” 

. . . 

Song: Die A Happy Man

Artist: Thomas Rhett (Tangled Up) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both 

Noted Lyrics: “if all I got is your hand in my hand, baby I could die a happy man” 

. . .

Song: Lay By Me

Artist: Ruben (Melancholic) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Both

Noted Lyrics:  “I hope you know through the rising tide, that I’ll be here, and you can lay by my side” // “you can rely on me you know, when this town is locked and closed” 

-This one is probably the most somber song on the entire playlist, but I’ve loved it for a few years now, and I think it solidly fits what we know about Buck’s trauma, and even a little bit of Tommy’s. Also I feel like it will fit solidly with 710.

. . .

Song: Hands To Myself

Artist: Selena Gomez (Selena Gomez) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: …

Noted Lyrics: just the whole song. 

-You already know. 

. . . 

Song: H.O.L.Y.

Artist: Florida Georgia Line

Buck/Tommy/Both: Tommy 

Noted Lyrics: “you’re holy, holy, holy, holy/I’m high on loving you” 

-There are also parts of this song that really fit Buck too, especially in the verses

. . . 

Song: Great Ones

Artist: Maren Morris (Girl) 

Buck/Tommy/Both: Buck

Noted Lyrics: “I didn’t sleep alone, but never felt more lonely”//“ I tried for song long to get it right, but, you get it so wrong until the right love makes you realize that there’s a one and only” // “lightniing in a bottle doesn’t happen twice” // “you just fell out of the sky, blessings come when you don’t even try” 

. . .

Song: You

Artist: Dan + Shay

Buck/Tommy/Both: 

Noted Lyrics: 

-This is one of those that doesn’t really fit a certain way, just has a vibe that makes me think of them.

Cassadee Pope Released Deluxe Edition Of "Hereditary" LP

Photo courtesy of the artist GRAMMY-nominated, Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Cassadee Pope has released the deluxe edition of her new album, Hereditary. As the voice behind the iconic 2000s pop punk group Hey Monday, Hereditary marks The Voice winner’s first full length following her shift from country back to her pop punk roots.  Stream Hereditary Deluxe…

[thisaintascenereviews]

Cassadee Pope - Hereditary

Some albums sound like they were made by AI generators, especially for how calculated and tailor-made it sounds, almost like it was made for a specific audience in mind, or because they know it’s something that’ll sell. It’s unfortunate when it’s from an artist you like, because you know they’re capable of better. That’s how so feel about Cassadee Pope and her new album, Hereditary. Known firstly as the lead singer of pop-punk band Hey Monday back in the late 00s, they dropped an album that didn’t go much of anywhere and then disappeared. She went on The Voice, which I think she won, but she had a career in country for a long time, only to finally come back to rock all these years later.

Pope has a good voice, but it’s nothing amazing, so I’ve always had a hard time caring that much about her music. Unfortunately, Hereditary feels like an AI-generated album, minus a few interesting moments, and it’s just so boring, bland, and forgettable, this is one of the worst albums I’ve heard all year. The difference is, however, this album barely even tries. Most generic albums at least have some effort put it into them, but this is just lazy. I hate shit-talking this album, because I like Cassadee Pope, but what is this? None of these songs stick out, especially musically, but the lyrics sometimes have personality. The one song that I was like, “Whoa, this is actually kind of interesting,” is “Three Of Us,” which is about drugs playing a big part in a relationship, and how her partner chooses drugs over her.

Now does she say anything unique about that idea? No, not at all, but it’s an interesting idea, compared to the bland dreck we get here. I mean it when I say this album is uninspired. It’s not even a bad album on its own, so if it does end up on my worst albums list of the year, it won’t be high, because at least it’s sonically competent, but it’s still so bland, it hurts to listen to. There just doesn’t sound like any effort was put into these songs, and it’s a shame, because this seems to be the first album that Pope had a hand in writing in a long time, but this is what you got? I don’t know, it could be worse — Falling In Reverse’s new album comes out this week.

[emilylawsons]

hihi kayli what have you been listening to lately?

Hiya!!! Thanks for the ask!

Honestly I wish I could say I’ve been listening to anything unpredictable. I did enjoy The Tortured Poets Department—my first TS vinyl too!

I’ve also been listening to newer, less known artists. Everyone knows I’m a simp for Taylor Acorn. Her EP last fall was fire, and I’m anxiously waiting for her to announce a new full album.

Because of her, I’ve gone back to a lot of my pop/punk roots, and it’s been awesome to see Cassadee Pope from Hey Monday come back to punk after being on country music. She’s releasing a new album this summer, which I’m excited to hear.

My husband also has me listening to Arrows in Action. They’re actually how we found out about Taylor Acorn! I’ve had a ton of fun with them

Also, this last year I discovered Karley Scott Collins (Little Olivia from Fringe) is a singer/songwriter in her adult career and new in the country music space, and she’s really good. She just recorded a song with Charles Kelley from Lady A!

Speaking of the single, which has arrived just in time for Mental Health Month, Cassadee has shared: “‘Three Of Us’ is about how heartbreaking it is to watch someone you…

Have you ever noticed each coach got their artist and stopped

The reason Juliet sims was allowed to compete the reason Meg Frampton was allowed to compete Pete was still the Cassadee Pope could audition let her go you don’t understand this is not a talent competition this is her second record deal

I’ll bet you’re doing is giving her the option to sign with either big machine RCA or Sony Rca because she was already at Columbia let her go

She’s a plant dumbasses

You’re looking in the wrong direction we’re playing capture the flag you’re trying to capture Adam actually he’s the one cheating

Levi Riggs’ New Single “Back In The Battle” Is Available Today!

Country music singer-songwriter, Levi Riggs, has released his latest single “Back In The Battle” today! Debuted by Taste of Country, this track stands out as a contemporary anthem for individuals grappling with the intricacies of our present world. Embracing a “seizing the reins” mentality, Riggs takes a firm position on persevering through challenging times. The song “Back in the Battle” resonates as a vibrant anthem that directly addresses the modern hurdles confronting our society. It not only confronts adversity head-on but also serves as a poignant reminder that giving up is never an option. Featuring hard-hitting lyrics like “When times get tough, you gotta see it through and it all comes down to me and you,” Riggs gives every listener a jolt of reality that no one is in this alone. “Back In The Battle” was produced by Noah Henson and is available now on all streaming platforms. “There are a lot of people going facing some very difficult things in the world right now. Farmers across the country face rising fuel costs, soaring prices, and little relief in sight,” shares Riggs. ”There are folks who wonder where their next meal will come from and how they will support their families. It was important to record “Back In The Battle” to give people hope while giving them an internal jolt that giving up isn’t an option. We have to keep our head in the game and we will get through the rough times we are in. If you are one of those people, I hope this song brings you hope!” Levi continues to take 2023 by storm with constant momentum. He has signed with Oath Management in Nashville, working with producer and guitarist Noah Henson on fresh new material, and an endorsement from Taylor Guitars. About Levi Riggs: With a voice pure and powerful, and an approachable, childhood friend-like persona, fans are no more won over by a sweet summer breeze than by country artist Levi Riggs. It’s that Midwest simplicity and relatability that stuns in an industry often filtered a million times over. After years spent discovering who he is as an artist, Riggs found he had to look no further than his home and life in rural Indiana. “I’m a family man, through and through. Regardless of what I pursue in life, my family is always going to come first. But I’m also a farmer. I understand that ‘fly over state’ life, that mentality. Those are the people I make music for – and I am those people. I think that makes my relationship with fans something really special.” His career highlights echo that honesty and ingenuity – Riggs has had several successful single releases including “My Best Friend’s A Girl,” “I’m Good,” and “Pour Some Whiskey On It.” He has shared a stage with some of today’s top artists (Thomas Rhett, Easton Corbin, Jake Owen, Cassadee Pope, and Bret Michaels, to name a few), and performed at some of the nation’s top events, including Super Bowl pre-show parties in both Dallas and Indianapolis.
