Back in February, just as they landed their album ‘Hallelaujah Nights’ at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Album Chart (The first band to do so in nearly ten years) we caught up with Jared Hampton from the band. We talk to Jared about their music, C2C and his collection of Whiskey!

As he was getting ready to head over to C2C London, we had the privilage of catching up with the exquisite Mo Pitney. The Illinois native talks to CMNI about his influences, what country music is, his faith, family and his love for Co. Antrim!

Sometimes all you want is to get past the support to the main item, but sometimes, the support act can really surprise you, leaving you wanting more…and I think Kendell Marvell will do just this when he appears prior to the Brothers Osborne, opening their gigs during their UK and Ireland tour.
This Friday (April 27th) marks the release of Keith Urban’s GRAFFITI U, his first new studio album in nearly two years. The much-anticipated follow up to 2016’s record-breaking, No. 1, platinum album RIPCORD, GRAFFITI U is a natural musical progression that began with FUSE, but it also marks where Urban currently resides creatively. It’s this sense of presence during his writing and recording process that gives each of Urban’s albums an unabashed honesty and authenticity.
