Bruce Springsteen was born to rock.But even a certified rock god like the Boss is rolling into country territory now: This week his “Sandpaper” duet with Zach Bryan marks the first time that Springsteen has ever appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since the New Jersey legend first greeted us from Asbury Park, N.J. on his debut album way back in 1973.And not only does Springsteen hit No. 26 on the Hot Country Songs chart with his genre — and generation-crossing collaboration from Bryan’s new album, “The Great American Bar Scene,” but he scores his first appearance on the overall Hot 100 tally since 2009.Forty years after “Born in the USA,” the man has been revived at the ripe old age of 74.And the No.

Morgan Wallen just announced he’s returning to the city he grew up in for a one-night-only concert at Neyland Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 22 with special guests ERNEST and Hardy as part of his ongoing, international ‘One Night At At Time Tour.’“I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee,” Wallen shared in a press release.In addition to this special gig, Wallen has 12 other shows remaining on his 2024 tour schedule including stops at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium (July 25-26), Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium (Aug.

Zach Bryan dropped his fifth studio album “The Great American Bar Scene.”What makes this release remarkable is twofold.First, the 19-track record hit shelves just ten months (!) after the 28-year-old singer put out his self-titled album “Zach Bryan.” Secondly, it should also be noted that the busy country singer has been tirelessly playing sold-out concerts at arenas, stadiums and festivals all over North America on his ‘The Quittin’ Time Tour’ this past year.Given the quick turnaround, one might be led to believe “The Great American Bar Scene” would be a bit of a letdown given how quickly it came together and how little free time Bryan has on his hands.Thankfully, that’s not the case.“It’s got Zach’s signature sound but also has signs of growth through his lyrics and at times songs that feel like he’s paying homage to other esteemed musicians like Jason Isbell and Bruce Springsteen,” author and noted Zach Bryan super-fan Clayton Porter said.“Don’t let anyone add class to it, it’s one hardworking great American album, enough said.”If you want to hear the debut these new songs on the road, tickets are available for all 39 upcoming ‘Quittin’ Time Tour’ concerts from now until December.That includes his final two gigs at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday, Dec. 18 and Thursday, Dec.

Luke Combs released a new album in June and is currently midway through his nationwide ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old Tour.’The unconventional trek, which will see him perform back-to-back shows at stadiums all over the country, includes a pair of gigs at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20.“I wanted each show to have (its) own unique set up of openers, as well as my own unique setlist,” Combs shared in a statement after announcing the tour in August 2023.“I thought this would give people an opportunity to come to both nights if they want, but see two completely different shows.”On Friday nights, special guests like The Avett Brothers, Cody Jinks, Charles Wesley Godwin, Hailey Whitters and The Wilder Blue will join him.Jordan Davis, Mitchell Tenpenny, Drew Parker and Colby Acuff are his rotating Saturday night opening acts.“…I wanted to open up my stage to acts that lean into Outlaw, Americana and Red Dirt on Friday nights, (and have) a night with (performers) who are more contemporary country (on Saturdays),” he added.As of now, tickets are available for all remaining ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old’ concerts.At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on any single-day tickets was $47 before fees on Vivid Seats.Two-day passes start at $100 before fees.Curious how much it will cost to see Combs at the concert venue closest to you?You’re in the right place, Bootleggers.We’ve got everything you need to know and more about Luke Combs’ 2024 ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old Tour’ below.All prices listed above are the subject of fluctuation.A complete calendar including all ‘Growing Up and Getting Old Tour’ dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below.(Note: The New

stepping away from performing due to health concerns.According to videos posted on social media, Nelson’s appearance at his annual Fourth of July Picnic event in Camden, New Jersey, was met with enthusiasm and love from fans.“He’s bbaaacccckkkkk,” the singer wrote via Instagram, sharing footage of the crowd. As he sat on a stool, Nelson then launched into a set of his classic hits, including “On the Road Again,” “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” and “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground.”Additionally, he treated the audience to the debut performance of his new song “The Border.”Nelson, 91, recently had to miss several shows at the Outlaw Music Festival due to “doctor’s orders.” He was set to kick off the tour on Friday, June 21, but hours before showtime, his decision not to appear was announced with a statement from his team on X, formerly Twitter.“We regret to inform you that Willie Nelson is not feeling well and, per doctor’s orders, has been advised to rest for the next four days,” the statement read.

Post Malone is pre-tour.The pop-rap icon turned country star announced his 2024 ‘F-1 Trillion Tour’ in late June and tickets officially became available for all dates on Monday, July 1.That includes the chart-topping singer’s NY-based gigs at Syracuse’s Empower FCU Amphitheater on Saturday, Sept. 14, Saratoga Springs’ Broadview Stage on Monday, Sept.

Lee Greenwood is prepping for his busy season.The singer-songwriter will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his iconic anthem “God Bless the USA” – a love letter to the country – and at 81 years old, he has no plans to slow down.“We always joked, if I’m not singing somewhere on the Fourth of July, you might as well take the flag down,” Greenwood told The Post from a recording studio in Nashville ahead of his summer tour.Greenwood wrote his now-ubiquitous tearjerker – considered “the most recognized patriotic anthem in America,” with lyrics that include, “And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free” – after “feeling inspired” on the back of a tour bus some 40 years ago. But he never thought it would take off the way it has.He’s earned the admiration of millions of Americans for the heart-rending tune, which he sang in front of then-President Ronald Reagan at the 1984 Republican National Convention.

Jelly Roll.The crossover country/Hip-Hop headliner just announced he’s added 15 concerts to his North American arena ‘The Beautifully Broken Tour’ with special guests Warren Zeiders, Alexandra Kay, Ernest, Shaboozey and Allie Colleen joining him on select dates.None of the new gigs will take the 39-year-old Grammy nominee to New York or New Jersey; that’s likely because he already booked six huge gigs in the Tri-State.First, Jelly Roll will headline at Albany’s MVP Arena on Sept. 24.

Post Malone is going all in on country music.Starting in September, the Syracuse native and former rapper is slated to take off on his ‘F-1 Trillion Tour’ where he will perform “a collection of country songs” with backing band The Fools For You in support of his upcoming album due out on August 16.Notable New York stops on the 24-concert and festival run include gigs at Syracuse’s Empower FCU Amphitheater on Saturday, Sept. 14, Saratoga Springs’ Broadview Stage on Monday, Sept.

emergency heart surgery.On Sunday, the 60-year-old country music star was hospitalized before undergoing emergency quadruple bypass surgery, according to an Instagram post shared by his team on Wednesday.“Mark Chesnutt, one of the most signatured country music voices of the 90s and a honky tonk mainstay for more than three decades, experienced a heart health issue over the weekend that hospitalized him Sunday evening, June 16; Mark underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery,” the post read.“The recuperation time will make it necessary to cancel show dates. Please respect the privacy of the family during this difficult time of recovery.”In the same caption, Chesnutt offered his own words and expressed his gratitude.

Luke Combs — having ridden his historic cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” all the way to No. 2 on the pop charts — is one of the hottest country artists in the game right now.And as such, the 34-year-old North Carolina native is in that cushy zone where he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants.His new album “Fathers & Sons” is what we call a “passion project.”It’s all about the love he has for his two sons: Tex Lawrence, who turns 2 next week, and Beau Lee, who was born just last August.The album — which continues the titular theme from 2022’s “Growin’ Up” and 2023’s “Gettin’ Old” — is also a shrewd marketing move, arriving just in time for Father’s Day weekend.

Luke Bryan took a brutal fall as he performed onstage at the Coast City Country festival in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday — all because of a fan’s cellphone.He then asked a crowd member to show him footage. “You’re Snapchatting.
