Darryl Worley With Special Guest Rye Davis
Darryl Worley The rich, reedy tones and all-American, blue-collar themes in his #1 hits “I Miss My Friend,” “Awful, Beautiful Life” and “Have You Forgotten?” are reminders of the down-to-Earth, Haggard-like Darryl Worley you always knew. The alternate sides are both on display in Second Wind: Latest and Greatest, a project that mixes the traditional-country history he established in Nashville with the ragged soul that’s deep in the bones of Muscle Shoals, a musical Alabama hotbed where Worley got his start. The area hosted hit sessions for Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, Wilson Pickett and The Rolling Stones, and the sweaty swagger of the region’s recording studios was a perfect fit for Worley as he recorded an album that re-establishes him in country culture. “It’s like we stumbled onto something in an attempt to stumble onto something,” Worley says. “We were just kind of feeling our way around in the dark.” Born and raised in southern Tennessee by a Methodist minister and a church-choir mom he describes as a “prayer warrior,” Worley started his musical career at the FAME Studio in Muscle Shoals, under the tutelage of producer/publisher Rick Hall (Mac Davis, Jerry Reed), where he remained for a solid five years. He played clubs almost nightly, honing his stage craft at the same time he was woodshedding his songwriting skills, and as Worley gained confidence, he found his way to Nashville. There, he secured a recording deal in 1999 on the basis of some demo recordings that showcased his authoritative vocals and his understanding of the hard-working country audience. “I’m a traditionalist,” he proclaims. “I came to Nashville because of mentors and heroes like Merle Haggard and George Jones. I’m sure people hear that until they’re blue in the face, but to me, it’s very true.” SUPPORTED BY THE PRIDE OF PIG, KENTUCKY & VERY SPECIAL GUEST! Real, down home music. Rye Davis is a modern day troubadour from Pig, Kentucky. His smooth, distinctive vocals, captivating songs and live show energy bring his brand of country music to a whole new generation of growing listeners who never knew what country could be. Armed with a can-do attitude and determination, Rye Davis stands as a beacon of hope for the return of real, down home music.

An Acoustic Evening with CHRIS YOUNG WITH CHRISTIAN HAYES
Chris Young is a study in contrasts and dualities. He’s frequently complimented by music press as being a country “traditionalist” —with good reason —but he’s equally fond of pushing against stylistic boundaries. He’s an old soul with songs that express deep wisdom as well as youthful rambunctiousness, and he somehow makes it look effortless. “I still love what I do,” says the Tennessee native, who’s notched 14career Number Ones and 25R.I.A.A. certified projects. “I love creating music and the fact that I get to do that for a living is a pretty incredible thing.” After scoring a major hit alongside his pal Kane Brown with 2020’s “Famous Friends,” Young returned to the studio and embraced the many contrasts of his artistry. The result is Young Love & Saturday Nights, Young’s ninth studio album and a bold statement that he’s one of the most versatile and durable talents of his era. At 18 songs, the project is Young’s most ambitious release yet and a demonstration of his confidence as a writer, artist, and producer. Instead of chasing trends, Young turns things up —emotionally, sonically, stylistically. The ballads hit harder, the rowdy tunes are more raucous, and the anthems hit new highs. Young sounds both classic and cutting-edge, one of the many reasons he’s established himself as a bedrock artist in country music. www.chrisyoungcountry.com Christian Hayes, a singer-songwriter from the Appalachian foothills, channels authenticity, raw emotion and vulnerability through his Americana-infused folk and pop-rooted music.
Josh Turner – This Country Music Thing Tour with Christian Hayes
Josh Turner This Country Music Thing Twenty-plus years after a truly epic debut, “this country music thing” MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner does is still as clear and consistent as ever. A rock-solid dedication to traditional roots. An unshakable focus on craftsman quality. A once-in-a-generation vocalist, with a rumbling bass that never falters. But as the South Carolina native knows, “consistent” has never meant “static.” Turner has seen the trends come and go and soldiered through the ups and downs of an often fickle business. He’s stayed true to himself –even as the ground beneath him shifted –and now, he’s in the sweet spot of creative confidence. With his 10th studio album, Turner keeps doing This Country Music Thing like only he can –and it’s still important work. “This is who I am. This is who I was born to be –it’s something that feeds me and fulfills me, and I’ve never lost my love for this,” Turner says. “When I first started, my goal was to just be myself and sing songs that meant something to me. To keep the tradition of country alive, but at the same time, make it fresh, make it new. I feel like it gets more challenging over time, but at the end of the day, it’s worth it.” Christian Hayes, a singer-songwriter from the Appalachian foothills, channels authenticity, raw emotion and vulnerability through his Americana-infused folk and pop-rooted music.
