    The Quiet Giants of Country Music: Fan-Driven Artists Loved Loudly

    This week on the Country Music Rocks Podcast, we’re diving into country artists who have huge fan bases, rack up streaming numbers, and sell out venues of all sizes. They do all this without the traditional promo pushes across social media, radio, email and beyond. These artists are more of the "quiet giants," if you will, of country music, letting the music speak for itself. We spotlight how these artists, and many others like them, continue to prove that country music is one of the most powerful fan-driven genres today. They may be quietly massive, but they’re loved loudly. Send us a text Be sure follow along as we'll have a new episode each week!

    From Stage To Page: Kenny Chesney’s Heart Life Music | Episode #10

    This weeks podcast episode is a special one as we're talking about Kenny Chesney and his newly released book, Heart Life Music. The book is available now, and if you're a Chesney fan, this book book is an absolute must-have. In this new episode, we explore all things Kenny Chesney and his new book. From personal moments we were surprised he opened up about, to one of his emotional concert experiences that co-host Julia witnessed first hand. Co-host Danny also shared one of his many Chesney experiences, and together we highlight some of our favorite Kenny songs. Known for being a relatively private person, Chesney truly become an "open book" in Heart Live Music, and it has been a joy getting to learn more about one of our all-time favorite artists.  As mentioned during the podcast episode, a Kenny Chesney concert actually served as the spark that eventually inspired the creation of Country Music Rocks, so this episode is an especially meaningful one.  Be sure to take a listen, and pick up your copy of Heart Life Music available HERE.

    Where Are They Now? Country Artists We Miss Hearing on the Radio | Episode #9

    This week on the Country Music Rocks Podcast we’re chatting about artists we don’t hear as much from these days, but who are still some of favorites that we’ve always enjoyed listening to! A last minute trip to LA for a Raising Cane’s event raised this conversation. While scrolling through playlists on the plane, it was a bit of a blast from the “recent past” hearing some songs from artists who once dominated the charts but are not as mainstream today as they were a few years ago. Join us as we share some of our favorite throwback tracks and talk about where a few of these artists are now. Who are some artists that are on YOUR playlist that we don’t hear as often on the radio? There’s nothing like rediscovering a song, especially when it takes you back to a special moment or memory. Send us a text Be sure follow along as we'll have a new episode each week!
