So if you don't win this week, definitely buy tickets to support this up and coming new artist! Also, local artist Karissa Ella will open and she is also amazing!

And how cool is it that I started giving away these tickets today and she was on the TODAY Show this morning?!? She talked about becoming a singing sensation on TikTok, then sang "Self Love": 

Russell Dickerson made his acting debut last night on the Fox series Call Me Cat. He didn't play a character, he played himself in the episode called "Call Me A Donut Wall", that found Russell showing up in a storyline surrounding series regular Max. He offered Max, who's played by Cheyenne Jackson, a life-changing career opportunity. But that's all I'll say so I don't spoil anything if you haven't watched yet!

Kolby Cooper's Grand Ole Opry Debut

This was the subject of my "Country Quiz" today, Kolby Cooper's Grand Ole Opry Debut. He made it in September of last year, but the Opry just published a cool, behind the scenes video of his debut. I love these because you get to know a little bit more about these newer artists and you also feel their excitement about stepping into the circle for the first time! Working so hard to get to that moment and you can watch Kolby share it with his wife and daughters as he explains that two of his biggest dreams growing up was to play country music and be a father. He also explains why he chose to sing "Stars Fall Down" for his debut.

 

Chase Rice has sent a new single to country radio. "Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer" can be found on his new album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell. Chase says about his new single, "“Bad Day To Be a Cold Beer," pretty simple. Pretty simple title, but Justin Thomas, the golfer walked up to me at the Troubadour in Nashville, and we were golfing one day, and he said "boys, it’s a bad day to be a cold beer." And that’s it, I just wrote it down I was like "damn I’m writing that." So, we ended up having an awesome day that day. A bunch of country music singers were around, a bunch of golfers, Spieth showed up. We just had an awesome day. I think at one point we had like 30 guys on a tee box. Every tight end in the NFL was there for something they had going in Nashville. So, that was the worst day to possibly ever be a cold beer, cause I think we drank every one in Tennessee that day."

Next from Kip Moore: Damn Love

Kip Moore's next radio single is "Damn Love", the title track to his upcoming fifth studio album which is set for release on April 28th. The song was written by Jason Gantt, Jaren Johnston and James McNair, and the only track on the album Kip didn’t write.

He says the song is about all the different feelings about love. “’Damn Love’ is a song about the reasons why you hate love, why you love love and why you’re confused by it,” says Kip in a pres release. “It’s everything encompassing that word and all the complexities that lie within it.”

Next From Luke Combs: Love You Anyway

Luke Combs had asked fans to help him decide his next single, it was up to "Love You Anyway" and "5 Leaf Clover", and the fans have spoken. His next single will be the former of the two choices.

He announced the winning song at his show in Nashville over the weekend telling the crowd, "So, about a week and a half ago, I guess. I announced that I was going to let you guys decide what my next single was going to be at country radio. And we had a vote. You could vote on Love You Anyway or 5 Leaf Clover. Which one you wanted me to put out to the radio and it was real close. I think it was 51%-49% So it was neck in neck. But the song we’re about to play you right now is the winner. I got my friend Wes from Flatland Calvary on the fiddle playing for us. So yeah, this is my next single at country radio it’s called Love You Anyway."

Luke said about his next radio single, "Love You Anyway is a song that I wrote on my porch with Dan Isbell, Ray Fulcher and I had been on stage Valentine’s Day of 2020 right before COVID happened. And my wife was sick and was on the bus. She was out with us, but she was on the bus, I believe, and I didn’t know at the time if she was in there or not. And so as I was introing another song, I said, you know, I don’t I don’t know if you’re in here, but I love you anyways. And my buddy Dan had wrote that down and we ended up writing it a few months later."

Next From Bailey Zimmerman: Religiously

Bailey Zimmerman earned his second #1 song this week with "Rock and a Hard Place", and today, he sent his next single to radio! "Religiously" is the title track to his full-length debut album that will drop on May 12th. Bailey said the song is about sometimes putting your pride aside to let the good things happen. From this song he realized that if he would have put his pride to the side, he might still have the one that really, truly loved him. 

Usually, it's a Saturday or Sunday night when we "try something new" in our house. Although, we have been so busy lately, I've been slacking! But back to the point, I decided to throw in one yesterday because we have a lot of leftover ham from Easter and I'm not sure, would that make it to the weekend? I saw that one of my favorite Instagram influencers, Babs, posted a video for a Ham and Cheese Crescent Roll Bake. I had to try it!

I do like a simple, three ingredient meal, and one that uses what I already have in the fridge and/or pantry. I cut the recipe in half since I was only feeding the four of us, but I still may have used too much ham because it was so hard for me to roll up tightly like Babs did! The ham that escaped I put right back into the pinwheels, then I added a little more Swiss cheese on top because I've never heard anyone complain about extra cheese. 25 minutes at 375 degrees was perfect. Oh and I should say, I did not put the honey mustard on top, but on the side. I find that is the better way to go for us.

They tasted really good and very filling! Would recommend. You could even change up the filling based on whatever leftovers/cheese you have on hand! Happy baking!
