Chrissy Metz Signs With Nashville Record Label, Debut Country Album In The Works

Universal Music Group Nashville has signed Chrissy Metz, star of 20th Century Fox’s BREAKTHROUGH and the award-winning NBC series “This Is Us.” UMG Nashville first worked with Metz on the Breakthrough movie soundtrack which featured her performance of the Oscar-nominated, Diane Warren penned track, “I’m Standing With You.”

Chrissy made her Academy of Country Music Awards debut in April when she performed “I’m Standing With You” alongside now label mates Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Maddie & Tae & Mickey Guyton. The incredibly moving performance can be viewed HERE.

“To say I am excited to fulfill a lifelong dream is an understatement,” shares Metz.  “Music has always been my first love and to be working alongside Cindy and the incomparable team at UMG is truly a gift!”

“Chrissy Metz is simply tapped into America’s emotional conscience,” explains Cindy Mabe, President, Universal Music Group Nashville. “Music was her first love and no matter if she’s singing, acting, writing or just being, she’s always real, powerful and fully connected with her audience.  I can’t wait to put her musical story into the world and I’m so inspired to bring her into the Universal Music Group Nashville family.”

An Emmy and two-time Golden Globe nominee, Metz is currently working on her debut Country album to be released later this year.  She is also set to produce the upcoming Inspirational Mountaineer Movie ‘Gorge’ in the works with Amazon.  Her memoir, THIS IS ME, debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List.

Lady Antebellum Tops The Charts With Hit Single “What If I Never Get Over You”

Seven-time GRAMMY winning trio Lady Antebellum launch into 2020 earning their 10th career No. One at Country radio as “What If I Never Get Over You” tops both Mediabase/Country Aircheck Singles and Billboard’s Country Airplay chart this week. Simultaneously, the lead single from their critically acclaimed No. One selling album OCEAN (BMLG Records) has been certified GOLD by the RIAA.

The trio celebrated the success behind “What If I Never Get Over You” with BMLG Records, toasting to their first-ever chart topper together. The heart-wrenching duet has gained over 163 million streams alone while touted as one of the “Best Songs of 2019” by All Access, Billboard, Marie Claire, Nashville Scene and The Tennessean as it “embodies a return to their tight-knit harmonies and a deepening of the trio’s lyrics and perspectives,” (Music Row).

“The moment we heard ‘What If I Never Get Over You’ we knew it was going to be an integral piece of OCEAN,” Dave Haywood said. “It has been a long time since we released a mid-temp longing duet like this which is so much of who we are and how we started. It sort of felt like coming home and we are grateful to the team behind us and Country radio for believing in the song as much as we did from the start.”

After performing the chart-topper on The Voice, TODAY, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America and The CMA Awards, the multi-Platinum trio showcased why critics agree that “unapologetic drama has always been their strong suit,” (Entertainment Weekly).Lady A will carry that some momentum into their upcoming OCEAN 2020 TOUR mixing a hit-filled set with fan-favorites and new songs from “arguably the finest album of the band’s career” (Nashville Scene).

Launching on May 21st in Albuquerque, NM with very special guest Jake Owen as direct support along with openers Maddie & Tae, fans can first purchase tickets beginning Jan. 24th for select cities as part of Live Nation’s Country Megaticket at www.Megaticket.com.

Brooks & Dunn Return To The Road For REBOOT 2020 Tour

GRAMMY-Nominated duo Brooks & Dunn revealed today that they will hit the road this summer for their first nationwide tour in ten years. Brooks & Dunn REBOOT 2020 Tour will kick off in St. Louis, MO on 5/15 and will see the four-time “Entertainer Of The Year” winners bring their infamous “revved-up, theatrical” (NPR) show to audiences they haven’t played for in a decade.  

The 2019 No. One chart entry of their REBOOT album has served as a springboard for the most successful duo in history to pick up right where they left off in 2010. Tickets will be available first as part of the Live Nation Country Megaticket and more information will become available at brooks-dunn.com in the coming weeks. Live Nation is the official tour promoter.

“So much for ‘we quit,’ huh?” quipped Ronnie Dunn. “That horse that we were afraid of riding into the ground apparently didn’t share our sentiment…he gotta fire in his belly raring to go another round or two. I like the ring of it…’Brooks & Dunn ride again!’” 

“The memories of playing live are what have kept the fire burning for us,” shared Kix Brooks. “Performers who have had the kind of nights like we’ve had with our fans, can never really let that go. Live is where we’re most at home, and it’s gonna feel good to be back in the saddle, let’s rodeo!  We’ll see y’all out there on the trail.”
