Premiered at The Grand Ole Opry; Available Everywhere October 11th 2019 Ahead Of UK Headline Tour
On Tuesday night (1/10) from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, Charles Esten announced and performed his brand-new single, “A Road and A Radio.” Besides his charity fundraising anthem “Light The Night”, it is the actor & singer-songwriter’s first new music since completing his Guinness World Record-breaking, 54-track #EverySingleFriday campaign in 2017.
A farming Finnish band, with nearly 100 million views on YouTube, are set to make history as the first band of its kind to play at the Farmer’s Bash in the SSE Arena, Belfast, which takes place on Friday 11th October.
This week sees the return of a special week of events celebrating Belfast’s special link with Nashville, a link that goes back over 20 years. That connection has evolved to include music, cultural and educational exchanges, tourism and business development in both cities.
Chase Rice has announced his much-anticipated return to the UK & Europe in January 2020 following a mainstage performance at C2C Festival earlier this year, and the two-week US country radio #1 for his Gold-certified viral hit ‘Eyes On You’ (listen here).

With around three weeks until Steve Earle rolls his tour bus into Belfast, we take a look at whats inspired him, where he has come from and take a look at his most recent work. If you ever had any doubt about where Steve Earle’s musical roots are planted, his new collection, So You Wannabe an Outlaw, makes it perfectly plain. “There’s nothing ‘retro’ about this record,” he states, “I’m just acknowledging where I’m coming from.” So You Wannabe an Outlaw is the first recording he has made in Austin, Texas. Earle has lived in New York City for the past decade but he acknowledges, “Look, I’m always gonna be a Texan, no matter what I do. And I’m always going to be somebody who learned their craft in Nashville. It’s who I am.”
Northern Ireland music fans were spoiled for choice this past weekend with a trio of Nashville artists hitting Belfast stages. Whilst Kendell Marvel and Brothers Osborne were rocking the Limelight, fellow Nashville resident Jenn Bostic brought her “Revival”, UK album release tour to a specular close with a Sold Out show at the nearby Crescent Arts Centre.
This weekend marks the first Brothers Osborne headline tour. Kendell Marvel is travelling with them and will provide the support for their gigs!
