Breaking star Carter Faith will join Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves and Shaboozey this fall along with her own Cherry Valley Forever Tour, which includes headline stops at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theatre, San Diego’s House of Blues and Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed Street, among others. She plays her first show with Stapleton tonight in New York.

The new dates follow the recent unveiling of Cherry Valley Forever, the deluxe edition of Carter’s acclaimed debut album, Cherry Valley. Released last month via MCA, the expanded project adds five new tracks to the original record, including “Nothin’ Better To Do” with Wyatt Flores and “Pearl Handled Pistol” with Laci Kaye Booth and Baby Nova. The deluxe arrives on the heels of Faith’s historic ACM Album of the Year nomination for Cherry Valley—the first debut album to earn a nod in the category in a decade, following Chris Stapleton’s Traveller in 2016.

Cherry Valley is one of the most-lauded country debuts in recent memory: Rolling Stone named it their #1 country album of the year and #17 on their Best 100 Albums of 2025 alongside accolades from Billboard, Stereogum, NPR Music, The Hollywood Reporter and many more.

Carter made her late-night TV debut earlier this year with a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she had previously appeared with Fallon for their holiday single “Ugly Sweater,” and is set to make her acting debut later this year in the Netflix film Heartland, starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain. She was named an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year.

Cherry Valley was shaped over two years of writing with longtime producer Tofer Brown before the pair entered the studio in 2024 to record. During that time, Carter was steadily rising through country music, signing with MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, making more than a dozen appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, and earning hundreds of millions of streams. Following her Stagecoach debut and touring runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce, Carter joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild at the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies,” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year Jessie Jo Dillon, while also sharing stages with Post Malone, Jelly Roll, George Strait, Little Big Town, and Noah Cyrus across the country.

Multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning Little Big Town – Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook – unveil their highly anticipated new album It’s A Dying Art, via MCA. 

“We’ve said goodbye to loved ones together, we’ve raised families together. We’ve lived a whole lot of life together, and you can hear that in every note of this record,” says Karen Fairchild. "We’re in a different season of life, marked by both grief and gratitude, and we wanted to be honest about that journey. After all these years, we still have each other, and that human connection is at the heart of this music.”

The band will celebrate the release with an in-store signing at Grimey’s in Nashville today at 3pm CT - for more information check HERE. Continuing the celebration, Little Big Town will deliver a special performance on the TODAY Plaza on September 1 as part of TODAY’s Citi Concert Series, followed by an in-store signing at Rough Trade (Below) at 1250 6th Ave, New York, NY 10112.

Co-produced by two-time GRAMMY® winner Gena Johnson (Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile) and Little Big Town’s own Karen Fairchild, It’s A Dying Art blends intimate storytelling, emotional balladry, and a focus on human-made music shaped by imperfection and lived experience. The album features collaborations with friends including Ashley Monroe, Jason Isbell, and Kelsea Ballerini, and reflects more than 25 years of chemistry and trust within the band. Little Big Town first previewed the project with the poignant “Hey There Sunshine,” which debuted at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards to widespread acclaim, with The Tennessean calling it “a hopeful, healing moment” and Billboard praising it as “a timely message from one of country music’s greatest vocal groups.” They followed with “Over and Over,” which Billboard hailed as a “top-shelf post-breakup anthem,” “Sucker For A Sad Song” featuring Ashley Monroe, which Rolling Stone declared a “song you need to know,” the recent piano-driven ballad, “We Could Have It All,” and the flirtatious “Closing Time” with Keslea Ballerini. Additional standout tracks include the relationship-worn “The Door” featuring Jason Isbell, the fiery “It’s Coming Around,” and the visceral “The Idea.” 

Little Big Town will be returning to the famed Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville for back to back performances on September 2nd and 3rd, capping off an exciting album release week. Next up, they’ll kick off their North American For The Art Of It Tour. Produced by Live Nation and in support of their brand new album It’s A Dying Art, the U.S. and Canada dates kick off Sept. 24 in St. Petersburg, FL, and include stops in Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, and more this fall. In December, the band will bring their holiday magic to Nashville’s “Mother Church of Country Music,” The Ryman Auditorium, for a three-night holiday residency. The Christmas Shows Ryman Residency will take place December 8-10, and will feature a mix of holiday classics and fan favorites from the chart-topping vocal group. A complete list of tour dates follows below. For tickets and more information visit https://www.littlebigtown.com/tour.

They don’t make ’em like Mae Estes anymore. Fresh-faced and truth-telling, she was raised on the kind of country music most people can only name drop, not talk about for hours on end. Mae, born and raised in Hope, Arkansas (population just over 8,000), stirs up the kind of plain dirt country that understands how hard most people work to make ends meet and how much blowing off steam on Friday night actually means.

Singing around Nashville, Mae has been making noise and critically acclaimed songs that show both mettle and a genuine vision, earning her critical and industry acclaim. She was named the Association of Independent Music Publishers’ Rising Artist-Writer of the Year in 2024 and won the Arkansas Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year three years in a row.

"Every step of the way,” she says, “I knew one thing: I wanted to make honest country music. God sure gave me a unique perspective and story to write songs from, but it’s always been important to me to also celebrate and remember the timeless music that came before me.”

In a 10-year town, Mae is right on time. She’s taken that decade to internalize how much the music means to her. Her influences run deep; her style is unflinchingly candid and frank, and she sings not only about the tough actual life stuff, but also the power of letting go at the end of a long week.
To that end, today she drops “The 90s Called,” the embodiment of wry, straight-up and full-on country gold and a dance floor juggernaut designed for scuffing boots and booty shaking. Watch the lyric video HERE.

Written by good friend and Grammy Award-winning Aaron Raitiere alongside Benjy Davis, Mae’s Blue Highway Records debut is a slice of pure beer joint perfection. Rocking a massive pocket from old school drummer Lonnie Wilson, while citing bits of hits from Brooks & Dunn, Conway Twitty, Billy Ray Cyrus and Alan Jackson, “The 90s Called” is half-comic, half-throwdown for people who know the difference between unfiltered and real and a mere notion of throwback country.

"In middle school, singing on the AM country station every Tuesday was the best,” Mae explains. “What was on the radio was so amazing – Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Reba, Lee Ann Womack, Martina McBride, Shenandoah. My taste spans wider than just the country genre, but the artists and songwriting I grew up on really inspired the music maker I am today.”
​
With fiddle from Grammy-winning Time Jumper, John Anderson vet and O.G. Lower Broadway legend Joe Spivey, flaring dobro from Josh Matheny and a sense of whimsy, Mae creates an animated take on what made country great in a time where name-checking older artists is meant to suggest authenticity.
While readying her much-anticipated 2027 full length Blue Highway debut, Mae is taking a moment to honor her bona fides by looking back and showing her kind of country from the source. Beyond the euphoria-delivering single, she flips Country Music Hall of Famers Brooks & Dunn’s heart-rending “She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind” – also out today – to inhabit the song from the woman finally letting go’s perspective. Honest, raw and real, like “90s,” she knows how to make a song sparkle, but also hit overdrive to deliver the kind of power-forward performance that makes a song crescendo from the vocals – not the guitar.

For Gloria Anderson, this year's CMA Fest marked a full-circle moment.

"I used to work these events as a volunteer," she shared. "To finally be a part of the music side is a dream come true."

The singer-songwriter made her official CMA Fest performance debut while also celebrating the release of her new album, Run of the Mill. The 10-song project, which was fully crowdfunded by fans, reflects Anderson's love for storytelling and is the perfect introduction of her.  

"My hometown has a little mill, and after a while you stop noticing it," she explained. "I hope the album reminds people to slow down and appreciate the places and people around them."

The record includes "A Little Bit of Cowboy," the song that earned Anderson recognition through the Tractor Supply Emerging Artist Program. After applying on the program's final day, at her mother's encouragement, Anderson was selected as the winner and later opened for Cody Johnson at a Tractor Supply event at Bridgestone Arena.

"It's been a whirlwind," she said. "Their team has been incredibly supportive, and it's been amazing to have champions like that in the industry."

Known for her vivid songwriting, Anderson describes her music as songs people can "see."

"I hope I write songs that stay with people through different seasons of life," she said. "Whether you're getting your first car or having your first baby, I want the songs to feel timeless."

The excitement doesn't stop with CMA Fest. This summer, Anderson is preparing for her first international run of shows in the United Kingdom, bringing her music overseas for the very first time. With a brand-new album, growing fan support, and international shows on the horizon, Gloria Anderson is proving that sometimes the biggest dreams start in the smallest hometowns.
