John and T.J. of Brothers Osborne have a very generous mom. They’ve previously shared that she will give away tickets to their shows to random people she meets. Well, her latest stunt was giving away 400 copies of their new album, “Watertown”, before it was even released last Friday. T.J. said they did an unboxing to see the CDs for the first time, and they took all of them home because they figured their mom had people she wanted to give them to. What they didn’t predict is she’d give them ALL away. He joked that they’re going to have to work harder to keep up with her giveaway habits. “We got to make up for lost time here.”

Garth Brooks is fighting against Ticketmaster bots. His team shut down ticket sales on Friday for his third show in Kansas City due to “excessive bot activity.” Garth said, “The bot situation is out of hand. “It’s been progressively getting worse on this tour. With that said, my concern is for the people who managed to buy tickets today before the bots crashed the on sale. I will personally look into what can be done.” There hasn’t been an update.
If you know Morgan Wallen, then you know he’s an avid fan of hip-hop. He says the genre shares one thing in common with country: Honesty. “That honesty really creates specific songwriting . . .”And a specific image in your head that you can create just based off of that honesty . . . I mean, I think it’s influenced my music and obviously the sound, but also the phrasing and rhyme scheme as well. It’s influenced me a bunch.” Morgan says his favorite “era” of hip-hop and rap is the late 2000s to 2015. Quote, “Started with my love for T.I., Young Jeezy, and then went into Drake.”
