Brad Paisley is offering his fans a treasure trove of music from over his 30 year country music career. The country star is releasing new music as part of an ongoing project titled “Tacklebox.” Some of the music is previously unreleased from all eras of his career; other songs were recently written. The first song from “Tacklebox,” “Fallin’,” is available now. “I see this ‘project’ as never-ending. It’s almost like the fans have a direct link to my Dropbox or to a playlist that never ends,” Paisley says. “We are calling it ‘Tacklebox’ because it’s a box full of hooks, country lyric hooks.” Details on upcoming releases will come soon.

Kane Brown’s Nashville bar now has an opening date. Kane Brown’s On Broadway will open its doors on Friday, May 22nd. The multi-story bar, restaurant and live music venue will welcome guests at 10AM CT that Friday and feature surprise appearances from Brown throughout the weekend. Kane Brown’s On Broadway is located in Nashville’s Lower Broadway district at 312 Broadway. In a statement, the singer said “Opening Kane Brown’s on Broadway is about creating somewhere everyone can come together, celebrate and just have a great night out in Nashville. I wanted it to reflect my journey in Nashville and feel a little different from what you usually find on Broadway. It’s the kind of place where you might run into familiar faces and make memories along the way, whether it’s your first time in town or your hundredth night out. I’ll be stopping by throughout the opening weekend for a few surprise visits and can’t wait to celebrate together with friends and family.”

Chris Stapleton was a guest on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” Wednesday night, but when it came time to play, he didn’t break out one of the hundreds of songs he’s written over his career. Instead, Stapleton performed the 1986 Willie Nelson hit “Living in the Promiseland,”  joined by harmonica player Mickey Raphael, who played harmonica on Nelson’s original recording. After performing, Stapleton and Colbert cheered each other over glasses of whiskey. The country star told the comedian, “I want to thank you publicly for all the good that you’ve done for me and for so many musicians who have come on this show. You’ve been very kind. Your entire staff is very kind and you’re a gift to the world.”
