Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Thomas Rhett gave back to his beloved music community by creating a beautiful and inspiring song with some of his friends. With the help of creators like Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin, and Keith Urban, Rhett released “Be A Light” to raise money for MusiCares Covid-19 relief efforts. This week, the song hit the number one spot on the charts, solidifying how amazing the record truly is.

If this feat wasn’t spectacular enough, what makes this truly more exciting is the fact that all the proceeds for this song go directly to helping people. It is clear that fans and radio alike got behind Rhett’s efforts of acts of service. The song has quite literally been a  positive light in what has been some very unsettling times for the world and the entertainment community.

“In a place that needs change, make a difference / In a time full of noise, just listen / ‘Cause life is a but a breeze, better live it / In a place that needs change, make a difference / In a world full of hate, Abe a light / When you do something wrong, make it right / Oh, don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine / In a world full of hate, be a light”

This marks the singer’s 16th number one hit of his career. “Be A Light” joins songs like “Die a Happy Man,” “Beer Can’t Fix,” and “It Goes Like This” as some of Rhett’s biggest and best hits. Adding to all of the excitement, Rhett also recently made an additional contribution of $100,000 along with his label head, Scott Borchetta to MusiCares.

Thomas Rhett & Scott Borchetta Donate 100K to MusiCares

/in , /by

Clockwise: Big Machine Label Group President/CEO Scott Borchetta, MusiCares Executive Director Laura Segura, Thomas Rhett, and Recording Academy Chair and Interim President/CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

Although in some ways, life is getting back to “normal,” the music and entertainment industry still needs all the help it can get. With that being said, we are so proud of how the music community has come together to help keep everyone afloat. Just the other day, it was announced that multi-platinum singer-songwriter Thomas Rhett and Big Machine Label Group CEO Scott Borchetta made a handsome donation of $100,000 to a special relief fund.

Earlier in the year, Thomas Rhett released his inspiring song “Be A Light” featuring friends, Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin, and Keith Urban. Rhett and his collaborators agreed to donate all the proceeds from that song to the ongoing MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Efforts. Just this week Rhett and Borchetta surprised MusiCares with an additional $100,000 for the relief fund through the video below.

“Thank y’all for so much for everything y’all are doing,” Rhett shares, “The fact that y’all are helping people pay mortgages and hospital bills, I commend y’all so highly for that. Hopefully, we can get a lot more on board this train to continue to give and continue to help out our people.”

So far, MusiCares and their COVID-19 Relief Fund has helped thousands of people affected by the coronavirus to make ends meet, directly supporting those in the music community as the need remains dire.

This inspiring news comes on the heels of the single “Be the Light” breaking the top spot on the charts. We know there is more in store for Rhett, but we can only hope that more artists jump on board and help out their fellow community.

If you’d like to donate to MusiCares, head to their website here.

FULL LIST: 2020 ACM Awards Performers Announced

/in , /by

 

Recently, in addition to the first leg of performers being announced, we also shared the news that two of our former Swag Sessions artists, Riley Green and Tenille Townes won their perspective ACM New Artists of the Year categories and will be performing at the special show. Now, we are excited to share that the final leg of performers has been announced.

On September 16th, the rescheduled 55th annual awards show will air on CBS, hosted by superstar Keith Urban. This time performances will take place at multiple iconic venues across Nashville, including the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium, and the Bluebird Cafe. This marks the first time that the show will be held in Nashville in the award shows history.

Today, superstar artists like Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, Morgan Wallen, and Mickey Guyton were added to the line-up. Each will perform their hits coming live from Nashville at the world-famous Grand Ole Opry.

Church is set to play his current single “Stick That In Your Country Song”, while the boys of Florida Georgia Line will perform their latest and 17th #1, “I Love My Country”. Bryan will perform his recent hit and song of the summer, “One Margarita”. Dan + Shay will take the stage to perform “I Should Probably Go to Bed”, Brown will sing “Worldwide Beautiful”, Wallen is set to perform “Whiskey Glasses” and Guyton will perform “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?”.

In addition, previously announced artists like Kelsea Ballerini, Gabby Barrett, Maren Morris, Old Dominion, Thomas Rhett, and Jon Pardi will all perform from the Ryman Auditorium, while Jimmie Allen, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, and Tim McGraw will give their performances from the Bluebird Cafe. Fans can look forward to a medley of hits performed by Old Dominion, while Rhett and Pardi will sing their duet “Beer Can’t Fix.”

Of course, the ladies of the night cannot be outshined, as Ballerini will be singing her new single “Hole in the Bottle,” newly pregnant Barrett will share her smash hit, “I Hope,” and Morris will perform her new single “To Hell & Back.” Lambert is also slated to share the stage with her friends and fellow songwriters Luke Dick and Natalie Hemby, singing her mesmerizing number one hit, “Bluebird,” which is sure to be a performance to watch.

Although it is sure to be different, we feel that this might be the most incredible ACM Awards yet. The 2020 ACM Awards, “A Night of Heart and Hits” will be exactly what the Nashville community needs during these times.

Thomas Rhett Reflects on “Things Dads Do” on IGTV

/in , , /by

Thomas Rhett released an ode to all of the dad’s in an acoustic song entitled “Things Dads Do.” The singer-songwriter took to Instagram and introduced the song by explaining to his fans that “[he] wrote this song with [his] dad, for [his] dad, and for all dad’s out there”. His father is a well-known Nashville singer-songwriter, Rhett Akins, and this song is a testament to the strong bond that the two share that goes beyond a shared passion for music. The lyrics are reflective and written with an extremely personal level of detail. Yet, like most songs by the artist, this song is universally relatable as it encapsulates the relationship between a father and a child.

 

The melody follows a beautiful acoustic picking pattern, reminiscent of a lullaby as Rhett reflects on his childhood. The singer-songwriter details the way his father taught him important values, such as hard work, in both a humorous and light-hearted way. He sings, “He’ll make you mow the grass and do it for free / You think you’re done he’ll say rake the leaves / he’ll say it builds character but it’s 90 degrees”

The relatable lyrics depict a typical father-son dynamic full of teaching lessons the difficult way and unconditional love. Recounting more childhood memories, Rhett sings about his formidable years, when he was trying to ‘fit in at school’, “You’ll get embarrassed when he ruins your cool / when he pulls out his camera on your first day of school / that’s just a few things dads do”.

The anecdotal lyrics bring forward feelings of nostalgia and a deep appreciation for the special relationship between a parent and their children, detailing all that they go through together. The master storyteller brings the song full circle through the cycle of life and sings from his own perspective of becoming a dad to three daughters, Willa Gray, 4, Ada James, 2 and Lennon Love, 4 months.

“He’ll say she looks perfect and he’ll shake your hand and say now you’ll understand / Things dads do / You’ll think it’s crazy until you want two”

Rhett closes the song beautifully, relating back to his own experience as a dad.

“You’re in his shoes and you’re starting to / do more than a few of things dads do.”

The singer admits to taking on more than a few tendencies of his own father, and that is how life goes. This is an emotional song that we hope Rhett records and releases, along with the other “IGTV singles” that he’s released via his Instagram page.

Country Artists Making A Difference Through Music

/in /by

A huge part of our company is using our platform to give back to the community. We think it is important to support the heroes among us every day. Today, we wanted to highlight some artists in the country music industry, who have taken it upon themselves to do the same and have been making a difference through their music.

 

  1. Walker Hayes Partners with NY Country Swag

We teamed up with our friend Walker Hayes and his ‘Be A Craig’ Fund, as well as,  NY Country 94.7 to help feed the frontlines. With each purchase of our Kindness Isn’t Canceled t-shirt, all profits will be donated to provide meals by IGC Hospitality for our healthcare heroes. Of course, the added incentive is that everyone who purchases a shirt will be invited to an EXCLUSIVE virtual show by Walker himself. The show will take place on June 17th. More details here.

 

  1. Kane Brown’s “Worldwide Beautiful”

The superstar recently released the long-awaited tour namesake single. “Worldwide Beautiful” is an impactful song that is geared towards encouraging people to acknowledge our differences but to love each other because of them rather than in spite of them. Brown released the song early because of today’s climate and is donating all proceeds to the Boys and Girls Club, an organization that enables young people to reach their full potential.

 

  1. Thomas Rhett is a Light with “Be A Light”

Thomas Rhett has been a pioneer for hope, during these unsettling times since day one. Back in March, Rhett teamed up with Reba, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott, and Christian singer Chris Tomlin to release a beautiful and much-needed song called “Be A Light.” All of the proceeds of this song are going to the COVID-19 Relief fun for MusiCares, which directly supports those in the music community.

 

  1. Luke Combs Gives Back

Platinum-selling megastar, Luke Combs has been a staple and a force in country music, even during these times. Along with premiering a powerful song entitled “Six Feet Apart,” back in April, Combs joined Miller Lite, supporting bartenders with a live stream event. The event raised millions of dollars for those who were out of work to the pandemic.

We look forward to seeing more and more country artists step up and find ways to help others give back, during these unprecedented times. As always, we are thankful for this community and for country music for getting us through.

Thomas Rhett Asks Fans, “What’s Your Country Song?”

/in /by

Thomas Rhett What's Your Country Song

Throughout quarantine, Thomas Rhett has invited fans inside his home and given the treat of brand new music that shows an intimate look into his personal life. The country star is known for singing about real high and low points in life, whether it be romantically, with starting a family or relating to his career. This has established him as an extremely relatable artist. Through his first IGTV release “What’s Your Country Song” the singer continues to use songwriting to help him through phases of life.

“What’s Your Country Song” contains every element to be an instant classic. This song acknowledges the power of music to guide one through life and provide an emotional connection. Ultimately, pinning the idea that each person can identify a specific “country song” that transports them back to a certain moment in time and carries significant meaning. We featured each of our writers and the songs that turned them into country fans, check it out here.

Nearly each and every line in this song namechecks special lyrics and titles from country songs that we as fans have personal relationships too, whether contemporary or legendary classics. These clever and meaningful lyrics along with the calming acoustic guitar picking pattern that Rhett plays while on camera culminates in an impactful song.

 

In the first verse, the singer-songwriter playfully sings of common country clichés that evoke feelings of freedom and carefree fun, “Did you cruise down a back road / with your Dixieland Delight / Are you on the Chattahoochee, On a barefoot blue jean night”.

He artfully weaves in these well-known song titles into the lyrics, making for an especially engaging and memorable song. When it comes to the chorus, Rhett is soulful in the way he ties together the song’s meaning as a whole: “Everybody got a small town anthem / Everybody got a story to tell / Everybody got a hallelujah / Everybody been through a little hell / When you’re rolling down a little two lane highway / And you turn your radio on / Tell me which one hits you baby / Yeah what’s your country song”.

During this special moment, he sings about everyone having their own struggles and life stories, and that country music is a constant that helps carry people through. This chorus leads the listeners to reflect on songs that have been alongside them during moments in their lives, both on an everyday level and during pivotal life happenings.

The Nashville fan-favorite even takes us back to the 1980s for a particularly clever lyrical spin from Barbara Mandrell’s legendary hit “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool”, “Are you already country / back when country wasn’t cool”.

Listening to this song is like a scavenger hunt, and with each play there are new creative lyrical references to pick up on. The singer’s acoustic song releases through IGTV have been a welcome surprise to help fans through these tough times. We hope that this track and the others that Rhett has posted will soon be released, whether as acoustic versions or featured on his upcoming studio album.

To keep up with Thomas Rhett, follow him on, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Thomas Rhett Thanks God in New Song, “Ya Heard”

/in , /by

Thomas Rhett Ya Heard

One of the only things that are still keeping our spirits up at this time is artists continuing to release new music. Whether they play it sitting at home on their couch on a live stream or artists that are going ahead with their release dates on streaming platforms that were previously recorded, we can look to music right now as a comfort.

 

Thomas Rhett who has been quarantined with his wife Lauren, and three daughters, including a newborn has taken time to sing a new song, “Ya Heard” for his social media following. Rhett has a way of including personal details in his biggest hits but fans always resonate and make each line of the songs relate to their own lives. “Ya Heard” has a similar story to one of Garth Brooks’ biggest hits of all time, “Unanswered Prayers”.

“There’s been times where I thought that my prayers never made it past the ceiling, much less the sky and I’ve had doubts and questions about my faith but I don’t really even know why or how”

Rhett sings about three crucial facets of his life, marrying the love of his life Lauren, becoming a hit songwriter and artist and finally having the family he longed for. Each verse he looks at his life and is sure that God heard his prayers. The final verse, focusing on infertility and their story of adopting Willa Gray then finding out they were pregnant with Ada James is so personal but culminates in the most beautiful ending.

“People say you’ve got a way of being pretty funny while you make us wait, cause I look at these babies crawling up on me, the ones that I bothered you about since I was 23, ya I know that I wasn’t wasting breath or words cause I look at them and I look at her, more than I deserve yeah I’m pretty sure ya heard”

If artists continue to release new music, we will continue to love it and support it. Check out this new one by Luke Combs, “Six Feet Apart” and Rhett’s collaboration “Be A Light” where proceeds are donated to COVID-19 relief.

Thomas Rhett Shines On “Be A Light” Collaboration

/in /by

Be A Light

ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee Thomas Rhett released a new song Monday afternoon called “Be A Light”, featuring Reba McEntire, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott, and Christian singer Chris Tomlin. Rhett confessed during his Instagram Live mini-concert on Monday that he wrote this song last year and he’s thankful that his label allowed him to release it ahead of schedule. “We weren’t supposed to release this now but I really felt like this song needed to come out today.” All of the proceeds of this song are going to the COVID-19 Relief Fund for MusiCares. Administered through MusiCares, the COVID-19 Fund will be used to directly support those in the music community with the greatest need.

Watch the lyric video here:

“In a world full of hate, be a light / when you do somebody wrong, make it right / Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine / In a world full of hate, be a light”

This is the kind of encouragement we need in our world right now. It’s easy to be a downer and to think negatively about everything but it’s only making matters worse. Even in the darkest of time, there is always some good, and Thomas Rhett and company help us realize that.

“Be A Light” is available everywhere you buy or stream music.  Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.
