RANDY HOUSER ROARS BACK WITH HIGH-OCTANE NEW SINGLE “BACK IN THE BOTTLE,” OUT TODAY!
Randy Houser roars back into the spotlight with “Back in the Bottle”, out everywhere November 21 — a high-octane, full-throttle anthem for anyone who’s ever survived (and secretly cherished) the wild, chaotic nights that shape who we are. Long celebrated by Rolling Stone as “one of the best voices in the genre,” Houser once again proves why he stands in rare air among modern country vocalists.“Back in the Bottle” marks Houser’s first new release since early 2025, following his acclaimed Note Self (Deluxe) album — a project that found him trading powerhouse moments with Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, and Riley Green. This new single taps into a different kind of fire, capturing the unapologetic spirit of the nights you wouldn’t trade for anything. As Houser explains, “This song comes from those nights that were chaotic, maybe even out of control, but you wouldn’t take them back for anything. I’ve lived a lot of those nights!”Houser’s return comes on the heels of a standout year. In 2025, he visited Australia twice — first kicking off the year on ABC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast live from the Sydney Opera House, then returning for a triumphant headline run in June.The industry has taken notice. Music Row praised, “ This man remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists. His return is most welcome.”Beyond the microphone, Houser continues expanding his creative territory. The chart-topping singer-songwriter has carved out an impressive foothold in film, appearing in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and starring alongside Dennis Quaid in The Hill — further showcasing the depth and range of his talent.With “Back in the Bottle” kicking off a bold new chapter, fans can look forward to a steady flow of fresh music throughout 2026 — plus plans for Houser to return to Australia, a country he affectionately calls his “second home,” as soon as possible.

KEVIN POWERS feat. SHABOOZEY DROP “MOVE ON”Shaboozey’s American Dogwood Imprint Debuts With A New Collab.
Today,  5X GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter  Shaboozey returns with his latest single, “ Move On ,” a collaboration with Kevin Powers. Earlier this month, Shaboozey announced he’d continue his wild year of award nods, critical accolades, and record-breaking hits by starting his own record imprint, American Dogwood, in partnership with his label home EMPIRE. The duo initially previewed the track upon the announcement of Powers as American Dogwood’s first signee, serving as the perfect introduction to everything the label is about — an extension of Shaboozey’s own genre-blurring, trail-blazing style. Accompanied by a video featuring Shaboozey and Powers riding a beat-up RV through the countryside, “Move On” is a post-breakup anthem addressed to an ex who’s gone on to a different chapter of life.  Dubbed “Southern Pop,” Powers’ style is a natural match for Shaboozey’s, making for an earworm track primed for mainstream success. Following the runaway success of Shaboozey’s breakthrough project, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and the newly RIAA-Diamond certified mega-hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” 2025 has seen Shaboozey making good on his breakthrough at every turn. Before introducing American Dogwood, Shaboozey also released the expanded edition of Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, including new songs featuring  Jelly Roll on “ Amen,” Myles Smith on “ Blink Twice” & Sierra Ferrell on “ Hail Mary,” and most prominently, his single “Good News,” which just became his second single to top Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart. He has also released a slew of singles throughout the last month, including the official opening track of Prime Sport’s Thursday Night Football entitled “Let ‘Em Know” and his Stephen Wilson Jr. collaboration “Took a Walk,” written for the end titles of Lionsgate’s motion picture The Long Walk. The momentum kept rolling with his The Great American Roadshow Tour , which saw Shaboozey make a grand return to the stage for his first solo US tour dates of 2025, as well as his first-ever Australian Tour, joining Jelly Roll as a special guest on “The Down Under 2025 Tour” as well as appearing at the inaugural Strummingbird Festivals and Sunburnt Country Festival.ABOUT AMERICAN DOGWOOD
Founded in 2025, American Dogwood is an independent record label built on artist ownership, integrity, and storytelling rooted in home.

American Dogwood’s catalog is already home to the longest-running Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping single, multiple No. 1 radio hits, and billions of streams. The current roster includes Shaboozey and Kevin Powers.ABOUT SHABOOZEY
5X GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter Shaboozey is building his own world, carving his lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-hop and R&B, country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with two standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER—the only artist with multiple appearances on the album. His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed masterpiece Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by The New York Times for “bring[ing] hip-hop grit to country” and by Rolling Stone for “honoring country tradition and moving it forward.”  The album’s breakthrough anthem, the RIAA-Diamond certified “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” holds the record for the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 while also topping Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay Chart, and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. The single has accumulated over a billion streams across DSPs and made history, making Shaboozey the first Black male artist to simultaneously top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Hot 100. In conjunction with the release,  Shaboozey received major critical recognition and a wide array of nominations at the GRAMMY Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards, along with wins at the Billboard Music Awards and People’s Choice Country Awards. Continuing to raise the bar with each release, his follow-up single “Good News” earned Shaboozey his second #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart. Staying true to his Virginian roots, Shaboozey strives to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of prolific creativity, this time by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing modern Americana to a global audience. His debut headline Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going tour sold out in every market and he played arenas nationwide as part of Jelly Roll’s Beautifully Broken tour.

Just announced as a nominee in the 54th Toyota Golden Guitar Awards, Homegrown Trio unveil their new single Do Over – a song that leans into vulnerability, reflection and the kind of harmony-driven storytelling that has shaped their identity as a sibling band.Written by Gordie Sampson, Dylan Guthro and Emily Falvey, and produced by Nathan Chapman, Dann Huff and Joy Williams, Do Over captures the familiar feeling of wishing you could rewind a moment and handle it differently. Instead of leaning into regret, the track opens a space for honesty and growth, wrapped in the warm, melodic style the Trio have been refining over the past year. 
The release follows a period of steady momentum for the band, including their recent collaboration with Bella Mackenzie on Grew Up Country and a run of Nashville recording sessions, continuing their partnership with producer Nathan Chapman (Taylor Swift).

Homegrown Trio will appear at the Tamworth Country Music Festival 2026 as nominee for Country Music Capital News Group or Duo of the year at the 54th Toyota Golden Guitar Awards.

LaCosta Tucker Releases New Single, Woman Behind The Wheel Country music icon LaCosta Tucker, known for her rich Nashville roots and soulful voice, is thrilled to release her new single Woman Behind The Wheel. The single drops on October 10th on radio and across all digital music platforms. The song delivers a poignant message about the vital role women play in keeping the “family machine” running smoothly. “Women always step up to the plate,” LaCosta says, “their strength and determination are what hold families together.”About LaCosta Tucker
LaCosta Tucker rose to fame in the seventies scoring fourteen chart hits, touring with music’s biggest names (Charlie Rich, Bob Hope, Johnny Cash, etc.) and appearing on beloved TV shows like Dolly, Nashville Now, The Jim Nabors Show, The Tommy Hunter Show, Pop Goes the Country, The Alan Hamel Show, The Dinah Shore Show, and Hee Haw. Born in Seminole, Texas, LaCosta grew up in a hardworking family led by her parents, Beau Tucker and Juanita Tucker. LaCosta loved Country Music from childhood, winning her first talent contest at just four years old. She performed in a band called The Country Westerners, entered beauty pageants, and eventually earned a degree from Cochise College in Arizona. She continued singing in clubs and was crowned Miss Country Music, Phoenix.In the early seventies, LaCosta met legendary publisher Al Gallico and signed with Capitol Records where she teamed with Producer Norro Wilson for five albums. Her debut hit, I Wanna Get to You, reached #25 on the country charts, followed by Get on My Love Train (#3) and He Took Me for a Ride (#10). She released five albums with Capitol and earned Academy of Country Music nominations for Most Promising Female Vocalist in 1975 and 1976. In 1982, she joined Elektra Records, produced by James Stroud, charting again with Love Take It Easy on Me.Today, LaCosta divides her time between Nashville and Las Vegas, embracing her most cherished role as “Momma” to daughter Cali (a rising Country Star who has featured LaCosta in her three music videos) and son Zach (an Aerospace Engineer), and as proud grandmother to Adelin. LaCosta occasionally joins Cali onstage (recently appearing atAliante Casino in Las Vegas and Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon), delighting fans with her classic hit Get on My Love Train. The duo is working together for the first time and has more plans to collaborate in the future. They look forward to meeting their fans and friends on the road. “I’m not a stranger to anyone,” LaCosta says, “I’m just a friend you haven’t met yet”.

Country-pop sensation Tori Darke returns with her latest single, ‘Build Me A Man’ – a rhinestone-studded country-pop anthem packed with sass, sparkle, and sky-high standards. 
 
It follows the hit single ‘My Boots Made Me Do It’ which hit #2 on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart and #19 on the CountryTown Hot 50 Airplay Chart, spending an incredible 15 weeks in the Top 50. The track also reached US audiences when it featured in Episode 1 of CBS television’s Sheriff Country (starring Morena Baccarin).
 
Fusing country grit with pop sheen ‘Build Me A Man’ flips the love song script on its head – a playful yet powerful call to stop settling and start building the love you deserve. Glamorous, cheeky, and unapologetically self-assured, it’s Tori at her most confident and creative, blending classic western flair with a pop sensibility that’s as sharp as her stilettos.
 
“This song idea came to me at 2am” Tori laughs. “ I woke up and quickly recorded a voice memo about the idea. I’ve found over the years that there are a lot of songs about cheating or being done wrong by a man, so I wanted to write a song about praising men. That’s where the whole idea of building the perfect man came from.”
 
Tori Darke steps into a new creative era, one defined by emotional rebirth and unapologetic artistic freedom. This next chapter marks a fearless evolution of her sound, spirit, and storytelling.
 
The single reunites Tori with powerhouse producers MSquared – the hitmaking duo behind her previous fan favourites ‘My Boots Made Me Do It’ and ‘Trouble’. “Writing and recording Build Me A Man with Msquared was an incredible day in the studio”  Tori shares. “I took this idea to the boys, and they really dug deep for this song. This is the third track I’ve worked on with them, and time and time again they deliver.”
 
The accompanying visualiser, directed by Michelle Pitiris of She Is Aphrodite, and filmed in Brisbane, perfectly captures the song’s glamour-meets-grit aesthetic – all rhinestone attitude, playful confidence, and cinematic polish. “This was my first time working with Michelle and I can’t express enough how fun it was” Tori laughs. “ She pushed me to really come out of my shell and try things I hadn’t before. She has such a creative eye and was so amazing to work with.”
 
This year has seen Tori on the road, lighting up stages around the country and proving why she’s one of the most electric live acts in Australian country. “I’ve been so lucky to be on the road opening for Lee Kernaghan for his final leg of the ‘Boys From The Bush’ tour” she says. “Not only are these shows so much fun, but it’s also been amazing to learn from one of the best in our industry.”
 
Tori has taken her powerhouse live show to some of the nation’s biggest stages, performing at Country Fest, Gympie Music Muster, Deni Ute Muster, Sunset Bash and the Queanbeyan Music Muster. 2026 will see her perform at Sydney’s Mardi Gras and she will also make debut festival appearances in the US (further details to be announced) and is set to perform at Country Calling in the UK (headlined by Randy Houser). 
 
With over 3 million streams, a voice built for an arena, and a personality that radiates both heart and humour, Tori Darke continues to redefine what it means to be country but fabulous. ‘Build Me A Man’ is a wink, a wish, and a powerhouse reminder that sometimes – if you want something done right – you’ve got to build it yourself.

Writing this song has allowed me to return to my original dream, to reconnect with my roots and why I first fell in love with singing Country music.”

It stars a reflective Pearce who sits still at a vanity mirror backstage surrounded by photos of loved ones while bustling team members come and go in preparation for her show.
