There’s been a shakeup in the Zach Top camp. Yesterday, Zach’s longtime guitarist Cheyenne Dalton posted on her social media that she had been let go from Top’s band…and with her departure, her husband Jimmy Meyer (bass player for the band) has also left. Dalton is a multi-instrumentalist who would play fiddle and guitar for Top, and was often given the spotlight during their shows to sing hits from female country artists. In her post, Dalton explained, “A little over a month ago, I was let go from my position with ZT. While this was unexpected, I want to thank all of you for following along with me on all of my adventures. I’ll miss all of the fun, playing great music, and meeting every one of you. I couldn’t have done this without all of your kindness and encouragement. You all built up my confidence, and I have transformed into who I am today because of you! I’m back home in Missouri now, and although I’m not sure what comes next, I’ll still be here posting my daily life. If you choose to stay around, I thank you! Who knows, maybe someday I’ll put out some of my own music for the world to hear.” No word from Top yet on the dismissal.

Luke Combs and his “Packs For Purpose” initiative are making a difference. “Packs For Purpose” is Luke turning his new hobby of sports card collecting into a charitable endeavor. During a recent livestream, the singer opened packs of cards, selling many to raise dollars for charity. A not-for-profit called A Rosie Place for Children in Indiana was the recipient of the proceeds raised from the  stream. The facility jumped on social media to thank Luke for helping raise the much-needed funds. “We were able to personally thank Luke Combs and Luke Combs HQ for choosing A Rosie Place for Children as the recipient of the dollars raised during the Packs with Purpose event…We don’t have the final total yet, but we know it’s over $150-thousand! $150-thousand raised to create a world of YES for medically fragile children and their families. That’s more than 200 sleepovers provided for children at no cost to families! We are in awe and overcome with gratitude.”

The long-awaited collab between Drake and Morgan Wallen may be fast approaching. In an IG post by Drake’s friend and sometime producer Octavian, there’s a carousel of photos, including one of Drizzy in a mirror selfie…but sitting off to the side is someone who looks suspiciously like the country superstar. The shot was taken at Drake’s Houston ranch last month, and the caption by Octavian is simply two blocks of ice…which certainly dovetails with the soon-to-be released “Iceman” album. Is Morgan on it? We’re close to finding out; “Iceman” is due out May 15.

Morgan Wallen’s support for his hometown and his high school baseball team is reaching new heights. The school he played varsity baseball for (and the ball field it named after the singer) are about to get a huge financial boost from the singer. According to Knox County (Tennessee) Commission documents, the Morgan Wallen Foundation plans to give $1.2-million to Gibbs High School in Corryton, Tennessee to upgrade its baseball field and facilities. Morgan’s hometown continues to reap the benefits of having a famous son; Morgan has already donated over $140-thousand for the nearby Gibbs Ruritan Park, and $100-thousand for the Jefferson County Baseball park. Additionally, Morgan gave Gibbs High School $35-thousand in 2023 to go toward providing instruments for the school’s students.
