The CMA Awards November 4 just announced their first round of female performers; Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini, Maddie & Tae and Carrie Underwood.

 

Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley will kick off a 22-city tour November 28 playing small clubs and theaters. He’ll be playing mostly new material with a few Lady A tunes and tickets for ‘The Driver’ tour go on sale Friday at charleskelley.com.

 

Jake Owen says Kenny Chesney’s the greatest guy he’s ever toured with and his goal one day is to sell out stadiums just like Kenny does.

 

Garth Brooks says performing today at 53, so late in his career, the gratitude is bigger. As for doing three shows a night, he says, “it’s kind of like a muscle; the more you use it, the better shape it gets in.” Trisha Yearwood adds, “Garth wakes up like a puppy and goes 150 miles an hour until he falls over.”

 

Finally – tonight Charles Kelley performs ‘The Driver’ with Dierks Bentley and Eric Paslay on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
