Another new watering hole in Nashville

Yet another musicial artist is getting ready to open a bar on Broadway in Nashville. This time though, it's not a Country artist and you might be surprised to hear who it is.

Jon Bon Jovi plans to open JBJ's Nashville this Spring. Acoording to sources, it is going to be the tallest establishment on the Lower Broadway strip as well as the second largest by square footage at 37,000 square feet!

There are so many places in downtown Nashville owned by musicians, and now add this one to the list of places to visit next time you're in Music City!

Matt Stell live in studio!

In case you missed it, Matt Stell was live in studio with Scott & Sarah this morning. He is super talented and so I thought I would feature another song of his tonight during the New @ 9.

For tonight's feature song, I'm going to play "Breakin' In Boots". It's a Matt Stell song that I have featured before for Keep It or Kick It, but since he was nice enough to join us in studio this morning I thought I'll give him another spin. While I'm not going to do an OFFICIAL Keep It or Kick It tonight...feel free to call or text me to let me know what you think.

By the way...rumor has it I may have a brand new song to feature for Keep It or Kick It tomorrow night!!!

My extended weekend

As you may have heard, I was off on Friday and Monday. I had to take a road trip down to the vacation house in Tennessee. It was time to take down the Christmas decorations.

My mom and I got there Friday night for dinner and I had a delicious Bison Burger. On Saturday, we did some shopping for odds and ends for the house but nothing too exciting. We also played 36 holes of miniature golf! Was so much fun! On Sunday, I had another Bison Burger at a different restaurant for lunch to see how the two compared...both were awesome! Then we finished up getting things put away and bringing out the decorations that are not holiday themed.

On Monday, before we left town to come home, we stopped by the county courthouse to pay a bill...how exciting! lol. Then, we had the 8 hour drive back home. We pulled into my driveway about 8:45 Monday evening and here I am at work on Tuesday.

Hope your weekend was very nice!

Check out the music video!

Jon Pardi & Luke Bryan just released the music video for their song "Cowboys & Plowboys". There are several rodeo champions featured in the video which is very cool. Also in the video, you will catch sight of both wives - Summer Pardi and Caroline Bryan.

Not only that though, the best one on the list for most people is Jon and Summer's daughter Presley who is making her music video debut! Check out the video here.

Let me know what you think tonight at 9:00!

Tonight during the New @ 9, I will have a brand new song from Dylan Scott to feature as the New Song Spotlight. It's called "This Town's Been Too Good To Us".

After I play the song we will play Keep It or Kick It. This will be your chance to tell me exactly what you think about it...whether we should add the song to our library, or throw it out the window into traffic! You will have until 9:45 to get your votes to me via phone call or text and then stay tuned for results at about 9:50 at the end of the New @ 9.

Let's see what you think about brand new Dylan Scott!

Scotty McCreery!

I had so much fun at the Scotty McCreery charity show last night at the Dusty Armadillo. The meet & Greet was great - he's such a nice guy. Then, there was the show. It was off the chain!!! lol. The crowd was so into it they were lifting the roof off the place!

He sang so many of the songs we have come to love from his library. He sang the new bonus track Rick Allen played in the New At 9 last night ("Can't Pass The Bar"), and sang some classic George Strait as well. We had so much fun and raised a lot of money for Bosom Buddies at the same time! Thank you!!!

New Music Alert!

Tomorrow evening, I will be at the Dusty Armadillo for our charity concert with Scotty McCreery. Rick Allen will be here at the station to keep you company in my absence.

In the New at Nine for the spotlight song, Rick will be playing a bonus track from Scotty called "Can't Pass The Bar". What will be awesome about this is you should hear Rick play this bonus track right around the time Scotty takes the stage out at the Dusty Armadillo! So, for a few minutes it'll be like you're there anyway!

Be sure to tune in to The New at Nine with Rick Allen tomorrow to catch this! And if you'll be at the Scotty McCreery show...I'll see you tomorrow night!
