Ingrid Andress brings “Lady Like” to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert next week

No Comments Country Music News

ABCIn the midst of a TV-appearance hot streak that included an appearance on Ellen and another on The Late Late Show with James Cordon last month, Ingrid Andress is heading for yet another late-night performance.

She’ll stop by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to perform her current single and the title track of her debut album, “Lady Like.” Ingrid’s performance is set for next Tuesday at 11:35 PM ET on CBS.

“Lady Like” follows “More Hearts Than Mine,” Ingrid’s breakout hit, which landed her her first chart-topping song on country radio last year.

Even amid a turbulent year, Ingrid found massive career success in 2020, emerging from a noted songwriter into an acclaimed performing artist in her own right. She’s showing no signs of slowing down in 2021: Ingrid’s up for three Grammy Awards at the upcoming March ceremony, and she’s even got a nomination in the all-genre Best New Artist category.

Aside from that, the singer is also nominated for Best Country Album and Best Country Song, putting her in a tie with Miranda Lambert as the most-nominated country artist at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood among star-studded line-up for the Grand Ole Opry’s 95th anniversary show

No Comments Country Music News

Chris HolloGarth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, Kane Brown and Dolly Parton are just a few of the stars performing in honor of the 95th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry stage.

Entitled Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music, the special event will feature a slew of performances, all of which were taped on the Grand Ole Opry House’s famous stage. Also among the list of featured artists are Little Big Town, Old Crow Medicine Show, Darius Rucker and Trisha Yearwood.

Covers, collaborations and artist tributes are on the docket, too: Kelsea Ballerini will perform “When You Say Nothing at All,” Dierks Bentley will team with Marty Stuart for a rousing rendition of “Pancho & Lefty,” and Lady A will take on Randy Travis’ classic “Forever and Ever, Amen.”

In between performances, the show will revisit historic moments from the hallowed hall, showing archival footage and rare interviews with some of the Opry’s legends. Audience members will have a chance to relive some more recent historical moments, too: During Lady A’s taping for the Opry special, for example, Darius surprised the trio by inviting them to become Opry members.

In another instance of history in the making, Kane’s performance in the special is his official Opry debut.

Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton have already been announced as the hosts for the two-hour 95th anniversary special. They will also give performances during the event.

Grand Ole Opry: 95 Years of Country Music airs February 14 between 9-11 p.m. ET on NBC.

Carly Pearce dug through grief and found her truth to create new seven-song project, ‘29’

No Comments Country Music News

Big Machine RecordsCarly Pearce went through upheaval, grief and pain to create her next collection of songs, 29. The project traces a period of Carly’s life marked by the sudden loss of her mentor and producer, busbee, followed by a very public divorce from fellow country star Michael Ray.

“Losing busbee was a jolt,” Carly says in a video trailer for 29. “He was my champion before anyone believed.”

As Carly’s longtime producer, busbee also co-wrote her 2017 breakout hit, “Every Little Thing.” He worked with Carly through the process of making her 2020 self-titled sophomore project, but died in September of 2019 after being diagnosed with brain cancer just a short time beforehand.

“Then came the divorce — something I never saw coming,” Carly continues. She officially filed for divorce in June of 2020, just eight months after she and Michael tied the knot.

“In that grief, I started swimming to save myself from the sadness, then realized I’d found something even deeper,” the singer continues. “29 came from that recognition. I got back to myself, to my roots, to my truth, and then the songs just kept spilling out.”

29 features some familiar song titles, including Carly’s empowering current single, “Next Girl,” as well as her powerful remembrance of busbee, “Show Me Around.” The singer has also previously teased unreleased snippets of a couple more tracks, “Messy” and “Should’ve Known Better.”

The other, as-yet-unheard, songs on 29 are called “29,” “Liability” and “Day One,” the latter of which was co-written by Old Dominion singer Matthew Ramsey. Carly had a hand in penning every track on the project.

29 is due out on Feb. 19, but you can pre-save it now.

Chrissy Teigen shares emotional post about late son Jack

No Comments Entertainment News

John Shearer/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Chrissy Teigen is reflecting on the loss of her unborn son, Jack, whom she would have given birth to this week, ahead of undergoing surgery for endometriosis.

Teigen took to Twitter on Wednesday to tell her followers that her “little jack” would have been born this week. Given the timing, the 35-year-old said she is understandably “a bit off.”

“I truly feel kicks in my belly, but it’s not phantom,” the Cravings author continued. “I have surgery for endometriosis tomorrow … but the period feeling this month is exactly like baby kicks.”

Endometriosis, a medical condition where tissue similar to that which normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, may affect more than 11 percent of American women between the ages of 15 and 44, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health.

In another tweet, the Lip Sync Battle host shared a video of her belly and it appearing to react as if a baby were kicking inside the womb.

“I’ll pretend it’s him saying hi — it never stops,” she added

Teigen first revealed she was pregnant with her third child with husband John Legend in August via a music video for Legend’s song “Wild.”

In September, Teigen suffered a pregnancy loss after being admitted to the hospital due to “excessive bleeding.” Prior to her hospitalization, she had been on weeks of bed rest.

In October, the model opened up about losing Jack in an emotional personal essay.

Teigen and John Legend, who have been married since 2013, have two children: daughter Luna, 4, and son Miles, 2.
