Rising country artist Hannah Bethel is mesmerizing fans with her angelic voice and creative songwriting ability. The independent artist received praise and accolades for her debut single, “Train” and was recently inducted as one of the newest members of the Song Suffragettes, a group of talented female singer-songwriters in Nashville. She is now hoping to find more success with her new song, “Rhinestone Rodeo” that was released today.
The song is innovative, carefree, and alluring, as Bethel blurs genre lines effortlessly on the track. Her voice is impactful, yet soft, reminiscent of country megastar Kacey Musgraves’ undeniable talent. Proving that she is a force to be reckoned with in the industry, the songstress pushed to write and record this song, as it embodied a message and a story that she wanted to share with the world.
“Everyone’s got stars in their eyes / It’s easy to get blinded by the light / You can’t always hear your heart over the rowdy crowd / But man it’s worth it – took you years to find that sound.”
Co-written by the singer with Farewell Angelina’s Nicole Witt and established singer-songwriter, Tiffany Goss, “Rhinestone Radio” is about Bethel’s journey navigating the highs and lows of the music industry.
She recalls in a recent press release, “I had the title for ‘Rhinestone Rodeo’ for a couple of years before it finally made its way into a song. I wanted it to be a song about my journey of navigating a life in the music business […]. Everyone chasing a dream has a ‘mountain’ to climb. For me, Nashville has been my ‘mountain.’ There have been many seasons during my ten years in Nashville, some beautiful highs and terrible lows, but I am grateful for every experience that has made me stronger, wiser, more certain of who I am as an artist and a human, and more determined than ever to move forward with great joy and optimism in my heart.”
We caught Bethel’s stellar show in NYC last weekend, check out the full recap here. To keep up with her, follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
“Rhinestone Rodeo” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

The country music world better make some room, because Blanco Brown is certainly redefining the genre. The brand-new artist released his self-titled EP today (May 31) via Broken Bow Records, and if its success is anything like that of his widely received debut single, ‘The Git Up’, it could mark a very unique and timely twist on what we know and love as country music.
Brown’s sound has been self-defined as “trailer trap” – part trailer park, part trap music, an ingenious genre of his very own which is heavily influenced by two of his greatest musical influences- Johnny Cash and Outkast.
Through the songs on this EP, such as ‘Ghett Ol Memories’ and ‘Georgia Power’, he manages to give you a glimpse into his childhood, split between the urban ‘hood and summers spent with relatives in the small rural town of Butler, GA., while at the same time seamlessly blurring the lines between hip hop and country, two genres that have always been thought of as polar opposites.
“I don’t necessarily think of the sound as being genre-breaking,” he says in his bio. “I think of it as being culture-bonding. If you listen to the messages of these songs, you’ll find it’s about the things we all go through as humans, not about race.”
“The Git Up”, his debut single released on May 2nd, 2019, has caused an overwhelming outbreak of attention to Brown, just in time for the release of his new EP. This undeniably catchy and loveable dance-along song has its own fun choreography, as posted in an instructional video on Brown’s YouTube channel, and has even led to ‘The Git Up Challenge’, consisting of swarms of online fans posting their rendition of the dance moves. Comments on the tutorial read ‘Cha Cha slide meets Old Town Road’, and ‘Country Weddings will never be the same.”
In songs such as ‘CountryTime’, and ‘TN Whiskey’, Brown mixes his stellar vocals with catchy hip hop beats that sneak in when you least expect it, and completely change the entire feel of the songs, giving them the best of both worlds.
“Making trailer-trap music really feels liberating to me because I want to bring people together. That’s what this music stands for: unity. It’s multiple influences and sounds and styles, all coming together,” Brown continues.
Brown’s authenticity, gift for detailed story-telling, artistic mind and diverse upbringing are the perfect combination for songs that will capture the hearts of many who can relate to his stories, are fascinated by his new self-made genre, and simply just want some music to listen to have a good time.
Blanco Brown is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Today, the talented Canadian singer-songwriters Donovan Woods and one of our 2019 Artists to Watch, Tenille Townes released the animated acoustic video for their collaboration “I Ain’t Ever Loved No One.”
“I Ain’t Ever Loved No One” is off of Woods’ most recent album The Other Way and which was produced by Todd Lombardo who has notably worked with Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift, and Niall Horan. Rolling Stone praised Woods saying, “He’s got a knack for slice-of-life storytelling that blends heartache and hooks.” Together with Townes, their voices tell a remarkable story of feeling a love they’ve never felt before.
In the video, a brown backdrop sets the stage for pink flower petals that fall gently onto a hand and sets the tone for the ballad that undoubtedly hits your heart. The fallen rose petals landing on a hand and blooming into another flower is a beautiful metaphor of a love that evolves and prospers. Their raw, crisp voices blend together flawlessly for the chorus as they sing deep, honest lyrics, “And you set the bar for this stubborn heart /And when you met my family, everybody knew that you had me wrapped/I ain’t ever loved no one like that /And when I said I loved ya, I didn’t care if you said it back/I ain’t ever loved no one like that.” As the song nears the end, a silhouette of a man and a woman come together with flower petals continuing to fall as Woods and Townes sing “And maybe I’ll love again, then again, maybe I won’t / Maybe you feel the same, maybe you don’t / How would I know?” Their incredible voices on this duet will make every hopeless romantic’s heart melt.
Woods will be joining Ruston Kelly on his Brightly Burst tour this fall and is making a stop here in New York City on October 24th at The Bowery Ballroom. Townes will be performing at CMA Fest next week at the Chevy Breakout Stage, and is continuing her summer run on Dierks Bentley’s “Burning Man Tour.”
“I Ain’t Ever Loved No One” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

We’re bringing you stories from women who are chasing their dreams and building a life that they love with New York Country Swag’s, “Woman of the Month.”

This month we interviewed an icon in the music business in Nashville, Susan Nadler. Nadler who is 72 years young is one of the Shady Ladies of Music City, a new podcast premiering next week. Along with Evelyn Shriver, the two women infiltrated the music business in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming the first women to ever run a music label, Asylum Records. In our hilarious phone call, Nadler is honest about her life, being a woman in the industry and gives some of the best advice to young girls who are following this dream.
Nadler took us back to the days growing up in Pittsburgh, to her journey to Israel, running a popcorn stand in Key West, and eventually making her way to Music City to further her love and respect for the music business. As a child, she recalls playing the flute, her sisters playing the piano and the violin and there always being music in the house. She loved R&B, listening under the covers at night to a tiny transistor radio that her father gifted her. “It was a great way to grow up, music was a huge part of my life,” she says.
She recalls going to see Bob Dylan and Joan Baez in concert, “Bob Dylan and Joan Baez were two of the first that I ever heard that made me fall in love with folk music, I still loved R&B but I got to hear so many different kinds of music, I was pretty lucky,” she tells us. “I used to go to the record store on Fridays, there was a place called the National Record Mart, and I would buy 45s every Friday.” Still, to this day, she explains that she is the only person she knows who still goes on Amazon to buy CDs from artists that she loves.
To say her life before Nashville was unconventional is quite the understatement, over the years between growing up in Pittsburgh and marrying a songwriter in Tennesee, Nadler lived in Israel, was busted for smuggling drugs, spent time in a jail in Mexico and owned a popcorn stand outside of a bar in Key West, Florida that was popular for its drag shows.
After marrying her second husband who had written the popular song for Glen Campbell, “Dreams of the Everyday Housewife” she started writing for The Tennessean, and sort of fell into public relations in the music industry. “I met all of these incredible songwriters, they all got along great and they all played their music together, they weren’t so competitive, they were really friendly,” she tells us. She worked closely with Tammy Wynette, stating she was the most generous person she had ever met in Nashville. “She was just unbelievable when I first started working for her, I didn’t have a dime, Tammy and her husband offered me money if I needed help to get into the music business,” she recalls. She managed Lorrie Morgan before meeting Evelyn in 1988 and the two of them teamed up to run Asylum Records, making them the first females to ever run a major Nashville label. They went on to sign George Jones and help him release his Grammy-winning album Cold Hard Truth. She explains how it was tough being women in that industry because the men who were running everything weren’t thrilled with them being in that position.
We discussed what a day in the life looked like during those years and she explained: “Every day there was stuff going on, there were number one parties all of the time, people coming to pitch us songs, where you don’t want to take the time out to listen to it, but you never know who you’ll hear,” Nadler says. “Every day was very busy, it was really fast-paced, we were hard-pressed to keep up with it all.”
As two women who were pioneering the way for others over the past four decades, Nadler and Shriver have seen many changes in the music business over the years but Nadler says one thing that hasn’t really changed “the boys run the city and they run the business”. Explaining she feels there are a few women who have broken in but that most of the time, women are too nervous to fight for what they want.
As far as advice, she simply laughs and says “Don’t fuck anybody, that’s the first thing I’ll say. Don’t get involved with anybody romantically or sexually that you are in business with, its a huge mistake.” She also is heartfelt when she says to not lose your love for the music, for the reason you are in this business in the first place. “No matter what else happens and keep listening and keep looking for new stars.”
Nadler still resides in Nashville and is getting ready for the release of the podcast Shady Ladies of Music City. She also loved poetry as she was growing up, and always thought that she would become a writer, which eventually she did, becoming a published author of three books, all available here on Amazon.com.
The first episode of Shady Ladies of Music City will be released on June 4th but you can listen to minisodes now about Evelyn and Susan below. Check back next month when we will feature Evelyn as our June Woman of the Month.

The tour will be taking place across the country this Fall, but in the meantime, make sure to check out the video below.

Eric Church pushes his outlaw mentality to new heights in his recently released music video for “Some Of It.” The track is one of Church’s deep cuts off his latest record,Desperate Man that debuted back in October.
The music video begins with visuals of Church and his band members getting their mugshots taken, with a newspaper headline reading “Some Of It Solved- Mysteries Remain.” The headline perfectly exemplifies the lyrics, as well as, Church’s ideology as a singer-songwriter and recording artist.
“Some of it you learn the hard way / Some of it you read on a page / Some of it comes from heartbreak / Most of it comes with age / And none of it ever comes easy / A bunch of it you maybe can’t use / I know I don’t probably know what I think I do / But here’s somethin’ to / Some of it.”
Fans of Church know that he plays by his own set of rules, and that’s evident in the new music video. The singer keeps busy in a jail cell, playing guitar (thanks to his “daughter” and jail mates), and of course, utilizing letters from his family to help write the perfect song. The video tells a full story from start to finish, completely embodying Church’s signature vibe and style throughout.
The video premiered over the weekend, just before Church played an iconic show at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium as part of his solo-headlining ‘Double Down Tour.’ Lucky concertgoers were among the first to see the music video, as it premiered on the stadium screens just prior to the show. The performer played an astonishing 37 songs that night- two full sets, including all his greatest hits, and of course, “Some Of It.” It was a night to never forget for both Church and his fans, who were lucky enough to bear witness to his greatness.
We caught the singer on his last tour, the ‘Holdin’ My Own Tour’ back in 2017, where Church performed and played over 30 songs as well, and it was an amazing experience for all who attended. Head to ericchurch.com to check out the rest of his tour dates and purchase tickets.

In this day and age, it seems like fresh talent is being discovered almost daily, partially due to all the successful reality singing competitions that are broadcasted on major television networks. The platform shows like The Voice, American Idol, and America’s Got Talented give artists are exciting, as often the show can catapult them into a successful music career.
These shows have given us some of the most successful country musicians in the industry, such as American Idol winners, Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, and Scotty McCreery and The Voice winners Cassadee Pope and Danielle Bradbery; however, there are tons of talented country artists, who you probably didn’t even know were on one of the shows.
Check out our list below!
1. Morgan Wallen
Rising country artist, Morgan Wallen is all over the charts lately, with two number one hits under his belt off his debut album If I Know Me; however, back in 2014, Wallen competed on season 6 of NBC’s The Voice. Before he found his voice as a country artist, the singer-songwriter sans mullet, chose to sing rock and alternative songs like “Collide.” He was eliminated, during the playoff rounds, but two years later he returned to his Tennessee roots, found his place in country music, and signed with Big Loud Records. Take a listen to his rendition of Florida Georgia Line’s “Stay”, perhaps foreshadowing his number one song and collaboration “Up Down” with the duo.
2. Maren Morris
If you know country music then you know the phenom that is Maren Morris. Morris is defying all odds with her sophomore record GIRL, honing both her songwriting and singing skills, delivering an album that pushes genre barriers. Before her success, Morris found herself auditioning and being turned down by American Idol, The Voice, and America’s Got Talent. The rejection clearly only fueled her fire, proving that the singing shows missed out on her unique talent. Morris shares more about her trials and tribulations in her special ‘Youtube Artist Spotlight Stories.’
3. The Swon Brothers
We caught up with Zach and Colton Swan of The Swon Brothers, earlier this year in our Swag Spotlight interview, where we recounted their journey on The Voice. Unlike the previous artists on the list, the duo made it to the live finals in season 4, placing third. Ultimately, the brothers got their start on The Voice in 2013, but are proving their staying power each and every day through the music and loyal fanbase.
4. Kacey Musgraves
Way back in 2007, Grammy winner, Kacey Musgraves auditioned for season 5 of a singing competition show called ‘Nashville Star.’ Fellow elite country artists, such as Chris Young and Miranda Lambert are also alumni of the show. Musgraves was eliminated fourth in the competition and didn’t really achieve much notoriety from her stint. Flash forward a few years later, Musgraves went on to drop her debut album Same Trailer, Different Park, which peaked at number 1 on the charts. She has found her place in the music industry since, and we can’t get enough of her superstar talent.
5. Jimmie Allen NYCountry Swag 2018 Artist to Watch, Jimmie Allen has had quite the history with singing competition shows. Allen auditioned for America’s Got Talent but didn’t even make it past the preliminary auditions. In 2011, he was rejected yet again, on the tenth season of American Idol, which fellow country artist Scotty McCreery went on to win. As fate would have it, several years later, McCreery and Allen reconnected again on McCreery’s ‘Seasons Change Tour.’ Flash forward to today, Allen’s debut single, “Best Shot” went number 1 and, he will be a fixture at country music festivals this summer.
6. Kane Brown
Country music artist, Kane Brown has created quite the name for himself in the industry. With a loyal fanbase behind him and an organic rise to fame, it’s hard to believe that Brown was turned down from American Idol. Ironically, the entertainer returned to Idol recently as a special guest to sing with a finalist. Brown’s stint on The X-Factor was also short after he quit because the show wanted him to be in a boy band. Thankfully, he followed his intuition because he now has two back to back number one albums and three consecutive number one singles to his name.
7. RaeLynn
Talented singer-songwriter RaeLynn is making a name for herself in country music. She’s successfully opened for superstar Miranda Lambert and is currently touring with Maren Morris. Back in 2012, she auditioned for the second season of The Voice. She would go on to make it to the quarterfinals. Although she didn’t win the competition, RaeLynn is proving that she is a force in Nashville, even achieving a number one record with her debut album WildHorse.
8. Chris Lane
Fans of Chris Lane know that he likes to bring his twin brother Cory out on stage with him; however, what you might not know is, the two auditioned for season seven of American Idol together; however, their audition was not with a country song. The duo actually rapped for the judges; needless to say, they didn’t make it to the Hollywood rounds. Despite their failure, it’s safe to say that Chris has found success adding his own flavor to country music and garnering fans worldwide. Although the above video is super blurry, it’s actually hilarious to see the twins’ audition.
9. Colbie Caillat (Gone West)
You might recognize Colbie Calliat as a pop artist; however, Caillat has recently embarked on a new venture in country music, fronting a band called ‘Gone West.’ Despite success as a solo artist and in various genres, she was rejected from American Idol multiple times, even before singing for the judges. Caillat surely got the last laugh, as she has a slew of number one singles under her belt and multiple Grammy awards to add to her already impressive resume.
10. Hillary Scott (Lady Antebellum)
Rounding out our list is Hillary Scott, one of the lead singers of the trio Lady Antebellum. Scott has arguably one of the best voices in country music but was rejected by American Idol twice. The powerhouse singer didn’t even make it to sing for the judges. Despite the adversity, Scott went on to be a part of one of the most successful country groups to date, Lady Antebellum. With new music out now, including the brilliant “What If I Never Get Over You,” and a current Las Vegas residency, it’s safe to say that American Idol missed out on her talent.

Up and coming country artist Caylee Hammack made her national television debut this morning on NBC’s Today Show, performing her breakout single “Family Tree.” Today co-hosts Carson Daly, and Jenna Bush Hager introduced the singer, telling the audience and viewers at home that Rolling Stone called her an artist you need to know, so everyone better write down and remember her name.
Before the artist’s performance, Daly welcomes the band and asks Hammack how she is feeling with everything happening so fast. “It feels like a whirlwind, but I’m super excited for it,” Hammack replied.
The co-hosts then go into discussing the “Family Tree” video and how the song, co-written and produced by Hammack, features important people to the singer, including her parents. As Hammack is discussing how her mom does not like to be on camera, she is surprised by a FaceTime call with non-other than her mom and dad, Mike and Claudia.
Of course, Claudia was asked about her Tupperware, referring to the lyrics “Momma’s burning chicken for the Tupperware party tonight.” She laughed as she gave her response, “I just love Tupperware and I guess I influenced her as a child.” Both Claudia and Mike go on to share their love and how proud they are of their daughter.
After they said their goodbyes, Hammack took the stage with her band behind her. “Family Tree” was the most-added debut song by a female artist upon impact at Country radio in over three years, and you could tell why during her performance. She showed the viewers her range and confidence throughout the whole performance. You definitely couldn’t tell it was her first time performing on television.
Hammack will be hitting the biggest country music festivals this summer, including CMA Fest. You can catch her at the Long Island Community Hospital Amphitheater in Farmingville, NY on July 3rd along with Lee Brice, Chris Janson, and Drew Baldridge. Get your tickets here.

In just one week thousands of country fans will descend on Music City for four days and four nights of the best talent Nashville has to offer. CMA Fest is a must-see event for your bucket list, but if you can’t make it in person this year, here are some ways to bring the excitement to you.
Make a summer playlist. Many artists use this event to play their songs specific to summer. The best way to feel like a part of the action is to put on your own playlist of favorites and celebrate the warm weather, wherever you are. If you need some suggestions, check out the list we put together here.
Soak up the sun. When you really break it down, CMA Fest is summer sun, music, and good times. Grab a group of friends, head to the closest body of water, pour yourself something cold and sing along to your favorites at the top of your lungs and you’re basically there.
Make new country-loving friends. Country music brings people together, and in Nashville, everyone feels like family. If you’re staying home this year, play your favorite songs on the beach, from your car radio, or by the pool. You never know who will come over to say hi, and you might end up with a lot more in common than the shared taste in tunes.
Find up and coming artists to watch. The festival gives you the chance to see the most famous acts in one place, but one of the best parts of the CMA experience is discovering new talent. Why should you miss out just because you’re not there in person? Head to your favorite streaming service and listen to some incredible country newcomers or click here, we’ve outlined 10 artists that are playing smaller stages that you are sure to love!
Set your DVR for the TV special. Later this summer the ABC network will broadcast a CMA Fest special bringing the best performances straight to your living room. No word yet on an exact date or hosts (last year Thomas Rhett and Kelsea Ballerini shared the gig) but you won’t want to miss this three-hour primetime party.
If you are lucky enough to be attending, let us know what your favorite part is!
