George Birge’s self-titled debut EP is out now, February 18th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below.
There are few things we love more than championing new artists! New recording artist and TikTok sensation, George Birge fits the bill. The singer-songwriter’s debut self-titled EP is officially here.
A collection of five well put-together songs, Birge showcases his vocals and writing talents as we get to know the new artist on the project. Co-writing four of the five tracks, the EP kicks off with the lone outside cut, “Reason To Go.” The song is inviting and heartfelt. It paints the picture of heartbreak and confidence all in the same breathe.
“No reason to stay is a good reason to go // No reason to try when one of us won’t // Ain’t just going to hang around // and gettin nowhere with you in this little town”
Next-up “Mind On You” showcases a romantic and flirtatious side to Birge. A smooth country slow-groove, the current single is a fan-favorite for good reason. Similarly, the record includes viral song, “Beer Beer, Truck Truck.” The song is a true ode to country music and country living.
Of course, the EP also boasts two brand new songs, arguably two of our favorites on the project. Written by Birge with Jaron Boyer, Michael Tyler, and Matt Stell, “Whiskey Side” gives fans a taste of the singer’s life and feelings.
Similarly, the other new song, “Didn’t Think I’d Miss” is an authentic inner look at Birge’s upbringing. Like many of us, who flee our hometowns, we always find ourselves feeling nostalgic and homesick, when we leave.
“I put that song on the stereo // She’s back in my arms again // Thought it’d be easy to let her go // But now I just can’t quit // Thinking about things I didn’t think I’d miss // Backroad buzzing where the train-track splits // A hometown girl and a goodbye kiss // Just thinking about things I didn’t think I’d miss”
“If I’m being honest, I’ve dreamed about making this project my whole life,” shared George in a recent press release. “Getting the opportunity to make the exact record I want to make, with the exact people I wanted to make it with, feels unbelievable. This project is me; I can’t wait to share it with the world.” This sentiment describes the debut EP to a tee, and we know country fans everywhere are going to continue to flock to Birge’s music.

Sean Stemaly’s new album, Product Of A Small Town is out now, February 18th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the album below.
Following in the footsteps of Florida Georgia Line and Chris Lane, country newcomer Sean Stemaly has paired with super-producer Joey Moi to release his debut album, Product Of A Small Town. Out today, February 18, the album is a fourteen song collection that includes eight songs co-written by Stemaly. Other writers contributing to the project include big names like HARDY, ERNEST, Jameson Rodgers, Josh Kerr, and Ashley Gorley.
The album opens with the title track, a driving dedication to growing up in a small town that sets the stage for the rest of the album. Here, Stemaly celebrates life in the country, and the people who are just like him. “We’re the product of a small town // Rowdy southern drawl crowd // Muddy water mason jar // Lightning in our veins,” He sings. “Work a blue-collar 40 // For a Friday night // Till it’s noise complaints and blue lights // Cranking country way too loud // We’re the product of a small town”
Country living is a theme that permeates Product Of A Small Town, lacing songs including “Back on a Backroad,” “Love Me Like Kentucky,” and “Can’t Be Me.” The theme continues through Stemaly’s collaboration with Jimmie Allen and Justin Moore on “WD-40 4WD,” one of the album’s clear high points. The trio trade vocals here on an ode to living the country lifestyle. “If you wanna be country, all you really need,” They sing. “Is some WD40 and a 4WD.”
Other highlights of the album include “Can’t Be Me” and “Last Night All Day.” The former is a bittersweet track where Stemaly tells a girl that if she can’t imagine living his country lifestyle, their relationship just won’t work out. If she can’t grow to love the way he lives, the future is bleak for their relationship. Meanwhile. “Last Night All Day” is a twangy and earwormy ode to a night you can’t forget with somebody special. Here, Stemaly can’t get her out of his head, replaying their night over and over.
Lyrically, “Georgia” is a high point of the album, cleverly weaving famous song titles into the chorus in a way that’s super catchy. “I got exes still in Texas // A couple girls that I don’t mess with // You’re the reason I ain’t seeing California girls // When I’m dreaming I’ve walked in Memphis,” He sings. “A night or two I spent my last dime // Callin’ Baton Rouge // But even after all this time // I still got Georgia on my mind.”
Additionally, “If Heaven Had a Weekend” is remnant of Moore’s “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” as we find the singer-songwriter longing for the ability to spend some time with those who have passed away. It’s a relatable and heartfelt track that everyone can relate to, with goodbyes not seeming so hard if heaven was a place we could visit. Stemaly took to social media about this track, writing “After my grandpa passed away I wanted to write a song for anyone whose felt the same pain I felt after losing someone you love. Hope this helps somebody.”
“There would be tears // But not near as many // And there’d still be time to make us some memories // And sayin’ goodbye wouldn’t feel so much like they were leavin’ // If Heaven had a weekend”
For Sean Stemaly, Product Of A Small Town is the perfect introduction to the country boy who is a little bit traditional, a little bit modern, and a whole lot of small town.
Product Of A Small Town Tracklist:
“Product Of A Small Town” (Sean Stemaly, David Bliek, Gary Garris, Andrew Marik, Noah West)
“Last Night All Day” (Matt Dragstrem, Ben Johnson, Hunter Phelps)
“Can’t Be Me” (Sean Stemaly, John Byron)
“Z71” (Sean Stemaly, Andy Albert, Brett Tyler)
“Speaking My Language” (Sean Stemaly, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass)

Dylan Scott’s viral new song, “Can’t Have Mine” is out now, February 18th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Today, Dylan Scott fans received the first new music of 2022 from the singer-songwriter. Following his two singles from 2021, “Static” and “New Truck”, “Can’t Have Mine” will be the first of many releases from Scott this year, including a full-length album due out August 5th, 2022.
After a teaser of the song went viral on TikTok, Scott knew he couldn’t wait any longer to release it. “Can’t Have Mine” has now reached 2.3 million views on TikTok prior to the song’s official release.
“Can’t Have Mine” is a piece of advice for all those who haven’t found ‘the one’ yet, on the type of woman to look for. Describing her perfection in every aspect, Scott’s one condition is that they just can’t have his girl. A song that is effortlessly based on his real-life romance with his high school sweetheart turned wife, Blair, “Can’t Have Mine” is obviously resonating with people far and wide as they play the track over memories of their own perfect find.
“Find you a girl that leaves you speechless // Gets wild on the town but still loves Jesus // One that’s worth the wait even when she ain’t on time // Find you a girl who loves her Daddy // Talking ‘bout babies makes her happy // Yeah, take it from me, that’s the kind you need to find // You just can’t have mine”

Jon Pardi’s new single, “Last Night Lonely” is out now, February 17th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
In terms of new music releases, country traditionalist, Jon Pardi has been very quiet throughout the pandemic. After the release of his third album, Heartache Medication in the fall of 2019, he took an extended break from recording new songs. Pardi has worked on a few side projects during that time, including a cover album of classic country hits titled Rancho Fiesta Sessions, a feature on Lauren Alaina’s “Getting Over Him” and HARDY’s Hixtape Vol. 2 on “In Love With My Problems,” and a co-write on a Dillon Carmichael song, “Man Made a Bar.” Now, “Last Night Lonely” will begin the fourth chapter of Pardi’s already successful career.
Sonically, like most Jon Pardi songs, it has plenty of traditional country elements. Lyrically, it shares a similar theme to Cole Swindell’s “Single Saturday Night,” with the main difference being the intention of the man. In Swindell’s story, the man did not plan to meet his forever match that night, it just kind of happened. In Pardi’s story, the man goes up to the woman hoping it leads to a future wedding.
“It could be your last night coming in here, drinking all by yourself // The last time giving your heart away to someone else // Yeah, we could be some history in the making girl, tonight // Might be your last night lonely”
Pardi’s Heartache Medication was nominated for an ACM and CMA in 2020. His third and most recent single off that album, “Tequila Little Time,” peaked at number 5 on the country airplay charts. He has a few tour dates scheduled this spring/summer. For tickets, head to jonpardi.com.

We chatted with country singer, Sean Stemaly about his new album, Product Of A Small Town, out this Friday, February 18th. Here are five things to expect from the upcoming project.
Stemaly’s debut album is full of real and personal songs that are authentic to him as both a person and as an artist.
“The writing part literally comes from just living it. […] That’s kind of where the writing comes from that’s why a lot of it is super specific sometimes, there’s a lot of farm mentions in my stuff, it’s just telling a story.”
Although an outside cut on the record, Stemaly shares that his song “As Far As I Know” is as personal to him as it gets.
“Every little lyric and detail about that the song is about a relationship I had at 18 […] even down to the white church and everything, down to a tee.”
Stemaly is looking forward to performing some of the new songs live and gauging fan’s reactions!
“Product [the title track] is really fun to play live because it’s so prideful and everyone gets hyped to it. […] Out of the ones that ain’t been heard, maybe “If Heaven Had A Weekend,” because it’s a building song, so I’m looking forward to seeing how fans react to that.”
The singer-songwriter’s blue-collar upbringing has helped him to make it in music city.
“It’s all about taking that blue-collar work mentality. […] If you take that mentality to this town, Nashville, you’ll be fine.”
Stemaly is as humble as they come and the debut album will reflect that.
“I want people to really get to know who I am as an artist. It gives me an opportunity to tell my story in song format. Every song is different, it’s not sonically the same anywhere in my opinion […]. I just hope that fans can get to know me and just know that I’m just like them.”
Sean Stemaly’s new album, ‘Product Of A Small Town,’ is out this Friday!

Who is Noah Guthrie? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…
The Beginning:
Today our spotlight shines on an artist you may know! Noah Guthrie is a rising singer-songwriter and actor from South Carolina. A fixture on the last season of the popular show ‘Glee’ and a semi-finalist on ‘America’s Got Talent,’ Guthrie’s journey is one for the storybooks.
“I’m from upstate, South Carolina. I’ve been around music my whole life. I kind of grew up watching my dad and my stepmom do a lot of studio singing,” begins the entertainer during our interview. According to Guthrie, singing was something he loved from an early age. He credits his parents for always being supportive of his dreams throughout his childhood and even now.
“When I got to high school, me and my brother started playing in a band together,” shares the singer. The blues band helped transform Guthrie from a shy kid to a bonafide entertainer. “Once I got on stage and realized that the stage was where I could really show this other side of me – I was a pretty shy kid growing up […] But when I got on stage, I got to be this frontman of this band and that was a fun thing.”
Guthrie always knew he was interested in music. During high school he utilized his talents, posting cover songs on YouTube and practicing writing lyrics. Some of his videos went viral, pushing the trajectory of his career to new heights.
The Turning Point:
With a love for rock music, such as Led Zeppelin and The Killers, Guthrie garnered fans across the country.“I got lucky when I was posting these cover songs to get my name out there when I was in my teens. I had some luck with that,” shared Guthrie, adding, “People wanted me to come play for them. Me and my and my dad hit the road for a bunch of shows in the early days.”
It was not until later on in life that the singer-songwriter discovered country music. “One artist that had a huge impact on me and my style would be Ray LaMontagne,” shared the singer.
Guthrie took his love for music and his early found success and catapulted it to a stint on Glee and later, America’s Got Talent. “They brought me on the show for the last season and it was killer and I gained a lot of fans from that,” shared the singer about Glee.
“I just kind of picked up fans from all different areas along the way.”
Today:
Flash forward to now, Guthrie has three albums under his belt. Most recently, the rising artist released Blue Wall. Interestingly, the record has a handful of solo writes on the tracklist, showcasing the singer’s incredible songwriting prowess.
“I think the album is probably 50/50 solo and co-writes. These are songs that I’ve been playing for a while,” shared Guthrie, “They’re songs that me and my band have been touring and people have reacted well to [them].”
According to the singer, one of his all-time favorites off the new record is the title track – a true love letter to his hometown. “My favorite, favorite, is probably the title track “Blue Wall.” It’s a song about my home,” shared the singer, letting us know the ‘blue wall’ refers to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Guthrie plans to continue to champion this record throughout the year, as he works on getting some shows on the books. As always though, the singer will definitely get started on new projects and music before the year is up. Fans can also look forward to more livestreams and just more of Guthrie in general!

Thomas Rhett drops new love song, “Us Someday” out now, February 11th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Thomas Rhett released the fourth single off of his forthcoming album Where We Started, which is set to release on April 1st. This 15-track project will be Rhett’s sixth studio album and will include already released tracks like “Slow Down Summer”, “Angels” and “Church Boots”, as well as his latest track, out now, “Us Someday”.
Where We Started will also be the first of two new albums that fans will get from Rhett in 2022, the second being Country Again: Side B, due out later this year. These two albums along with Country Again: Side A are all of course the massive by-product of the volume of music that Rhett was writing and creating throughout the pandemic.
As you likely know, Rhett was not only making a ton of music throughout the pandemic, but he was also sharing a large amount of it with fans along the way. There were several songs off of both Country Again: Side A as well as Where We Started that fans heard months or even as much as a year ahead of their release, thanks to Rhett’s social media.
With the release of “Us Someday”, Rhett shared: “You guys have probably noticed by now that I love to share music with you in the moment, and as it is being created. I posted this song I wrote for Lauren back in September of 2020, and now #UsSomeday is available everywhere. Hope y’all love it.”
“Us Someday” is yet another song by Rhett that was inspired by he and his wife, Lauren’s beautiful love story and their long history together that dates back to their childhood.
Written by Rhett along with Amy Wadge, Jesse Frasure, and Rhett Akins, “Us Someday” tells the story of Rhett always being able to see a future with Lauren, whether it was looking as far ahead as to their wedding, having a family together, or growing old together. No matter how crazy she thought he was for dreaming it, he knew it. It’s a very simple ‘when you know, you know’ story. Obviously, he was right.
“Couple kids runnin’ wild in the backyard // Handprints in a new driveway // Road trips in a packed-out old car // Little League on a Saturday // You call me a crazy dreamer // but I’m gonna dream away // close my eyes and I swear I see it // My Love, that’ll be us someday”
We can’t wait to hear the tracks that fill the rest of this album and can’t wait for the full project to be out on April 1st. Until then, we’ll have these first four tracks on repeat.
