    Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson and Gretchen Wilson: Country girls just wanna have fun | Music City Minute

    Boy howdy, someone call the fire brigade, because Miranda Lambert set the stage on fire at Sturgis. I heard tell that the Triple Crown  ACM winner’s performance charmed the fringe off the leather-clad audience at the 86th annual motorcycle rally in South Dakota. Fans rocked-out to a full throttle set, which included gut-punch bangers such as "Kerosene," "White Liar," and "Gunpowder & Lead." Now, the Texas tornado must have been aware of the rally’s unwritten rule: go big or go home, because all night, the savvy songstress had pair of bedazzled aces stuffed up her sleeve. In an unforgettable moment, Lambert finally showed her hand when she invited Lainey Wilson and Gretchen Wilson on stage perform "Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)" and, perhaps, the loudest rendition of "Redneck Woman" the legendary rally has ever heard. Talk about an incredible show that honestly has me a little twisted-up because I missed it.   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.

    Colt Ford's European coach calamity | Music City Minute

    Just when we thought it was safe to send a bunch of rednecks with gitfiddles to play internationally, sadly unforeseen circumstances end up sending the entire band off the rails. No, not in the Keith Moon, Ozzy Osbourne or Bailey Zimmerman kind of way. Rather, Colt Ford and his crew were involved in a nasty accident while traveling to a music festival in Germany. Ford shared a picture of their wrecked bus, as well as a few details about the incident. According to the "Dirt Road Anthem" singer, at some point their rig left the road and smashed into a ditch. Fortunately, first responders were able to extract the mostly banged up crew through the broken out-front windshield of the bus. However, unfortunately, the 56-year-old front man sustained a broken shoulder. Even though, as of August 13, Colt Ford was still scheduled to play the music festival (located about three hours southwest of Berlin) I think we can all agree it would be completely understandable if the country rocker decided to scrap his performance altogether.   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.

    Hey y'all, Hannah Dasher serves up hooks, homilies and homecookin' for dummies | Music City Minute

    Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit, a sweet Georgia peach is turning the country music scene on its head. After eleven years of hustling in Music City, Miss Hannah Dasher has worked her way up from amuse-bouche to the main entrée. Now, how would one describe the 40-year-old Dasher? Let me put it to you this way: If the queen of country music had kinfolk from The Goober State, Dasher would be Her Majesty’s, step-auntie’s half cousin, on her Mama's side, thrice removed. With hair as high as the heavens, the icon-in-training is a regular on the Grand Ole Opry stage. Yet, the singer-songwriter’s music is not the only thing drawing a crowd; it is also her lessons in southern hospitality. This year, Hannah Dasher was proud to release her first cookbook called "Stand By Your Pan," which pairs splendidly with the sassy lady's hilarious tune of the same name. The no-nonsense book features one hundred comfort food recipes so good they will, “hurt people’s feelin’s.” Additionally, readers will enjoy kitchen tips and tricks as well as highly quotable anecdotes that begin with statements like, “Just because you’re twenty doesn’t mean you can’t cook like a meemaw.” I am telling you right now, I have four copies of "Stand By Your Pan" in my Amazon cart that I intend to distribute amongst family this Christmas.   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.

    Billy snaps more than strings during Indiana gig | Music City Minute

    Well, dunk my donuts, here we go again. A few days ago, Billy Strings was playing a packed house at the Fisher Event Center in Indiana, and all seemed to be going well. That is, until a mystery projectile hit Strings in the head. In record time, hundreds of fan videos documenting the incident (as well as the "Leadfoot" singer’s not-safe-for-work meltdown) popped up online. “I was just getting ready to say how much I’m happy to be here and I love you guys and all this s***, then you throw something and it hits me right in the f****** head,” said the 33-year-old strum-lord. Unfortunately, the Grammy award winner’s prickly disposition changed the mood of the show significantly. However, after a brief intermission, a smiley, cheekier Billy Strings returned to the stage in a hockey helmet, and delivered more face-melting bluegrass. Mercy sakes, I suppose we ought to add “UFO” to the long list of crowed thrown projectiles, right behind bracelets, Zyn cans, hacky sacks, phones, plastic bottles, underwear, bras, jellybeans, Copenhagen tins and roses.   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.

    Post Malone joins 'Sesame Street' crew | Music City Minute

    Well hot dang, after over a decade in the music business, Post Malone (and I’m sure his daughter) are celebrating his latest career milestone. The rapper/rocker/popstar/country crooner rambled into the big city for a special performance on the world's most famous stoop. Yessum, Ole Posty made his Sesame Street debut in an episode called "Storm on Sesame Street." I know what you are thinking, just the idea of the "Sunflower" singer appearing on the iconic children's show sounds like it would go over like a lead balloon. However, Malone, face tattoos and all, was a surprisingly natural fit, singing a remixed version of "I Had Some Help" with Elmo and Abby. That said, after watching the episode (which is available on Netflix and PBS Kids) I learned two things: never judge a burrito by its foil and perhaps most importantly, when it comes to the children, Mr. Post Malone is for the children. We teach the children, okay!   I'm Sheena, and that's your Music City Minute.

    Zac Brown gives away $43 million in free cruises | Music City Minute

    Well fan my britches, Zac Brown just pulled off the biggest surprise since the Oprah Winfrey show. In case that mental tab just will not refresh, perhaps this will help jog your memory, “Oh my goodness, you get a car! Everybody gets a car!” In that now infamous episode, Ms. Oprah gave away 276 brand new cars. In total, the gift added up to nearly $8 million. So how in the heck did Zac Brown top that epic giveaway? With free tickets of course! “And tonight, we’re gonna do something that even Jimmy would say is crazy, I’m buying every single person here a cruise for two people!” Yes sir, every fan who was at the sold out Zac Brown Band show at Fenway Park on August 2, received a free Margaritaville at Sea cruise for two, valued at just over $43 million. Incredibly, the generous and unforgettable gesture is widely considered "the largest audience gift in live entertainment history."   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.

    Russell Dickerson earns historic, first-of-its-kind recognition | Music City Minute

    Every little thing Russell Dickerson has worked for has finally landed him a spot in music history;, and honestly, it is about time. The singer-songwriter turned a good day into a great day when he became the first country music artist to appear in a KIDZ BOP music video. Since 2001, the family friendly pop franchise has put out 74 total albums, with the latest collection featuring Dickerson’s hit song, "Happen to Me." The adorable, high energy music video begins with the "Yours" singer, pondering the mysteries of life, “I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a KIDZ BOP kid?” The video then cuts to the six-person, KIDZ BOP group, singing and dancing their way through iconic locations in Nashville. Finally, the group kick-ball-change their way into the Grand Ole Opry, where they close out their performance alongside the 39-year-old country star. Admittedly, the KIDZ BOP remix of "Happened to Me" is not exactly a southern symphony. However, if you have kids and in need of good, clean fun – the song, video and albums are definitely worth your wild!   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.

    Bailey Zimmerman wipes ten shows from calendar | Music City Minute

    This has certainly been an unusual week for country music tours. It started with Megan Moroney’s mid-show cancellation, followed by Parker McCollum rescheduling two weekend shows, and now one artist has scrapped an entire leg of his tour. In an emotional post addressed to fans, Bailey Zimmerman confirmed his 10-date European roadshow would no longer happen. The 26-year-old goes on to explain his heartbreaking decision to take some time off and focus on important matters at home. “Everything is okay, it’s just my family needs my attention and that’s what I’ve gotta do,” said the singer. The country star wraps up the note by clarifying he will in fact play all of his upcoming North American dates in August. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this year we have seen Bailey Zimmerman’s name in major headlines. As you may recall, back in June, the "Rock and a Hard Place" singer was facing a felony charge in New Mexico. Thankfully, the charge was dismissed after Zimmerman paid $16,000 in damages and issued an apology.   I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
