Having opened for everyone from Blake Shelton to Miranda Lambert to Eric Church, Justin has learned how he wants to treat his opening acts. “They were all great,” he said. “Everybody did things a little different. Everybody was great to me in their own right, whether or not we should have been out there. Everybody treated us with the utmost respect, as if we deserved to be where we were.” Justin hopes those who tour with him leave feeling the same way and has picked up tips along the way. “I’ve subconsciously taken different things from different people that I’ve been out with,” he said. “I don’t know if I could pinpoint one thing here and there specifically that I learned. Just being out with everybody, you might see something you go, ‘Oh man. That was pretty cool,’ or ‘Hey, I’d like to do that.’” Justin just announced that his new album, Off the Beaten Path, featuring his latest single, “Point At You,” will be released September 17.

Patty Loveless celebrated her 25th anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry this past weekend with a performance as well as performances from Vince Gill, Loretta Lynn and more. Following an hour of her hit songs performed by good friends, Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher honored her with a commemorative print. “This has been an absolutely magical night at the Grand Ole Opry,” he said. “I think we have heard everything that makes country music great. If I was to describe what makes country music great, I would use the name Patty Loveless.” “It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years,” Patty said as she accepted her print. “I know my family is listening in tonight, and I’m sure they are very, very proud of this moment for me. My dreams were their dreams as well.” The night wrapped with Patty and Vince performing their hit “Go Rest High On That Mountain.” They were joined by a number of other artists who had performed earlier in the show. Patty was inducted into the Opry on June 11, 1988. ShareThis

The Band Perry held their second annual fan club party during CMA Music Festival earlier this month and things went a little off the beaten path. Before the trio knew what was happening, they were revealing some of their hidden secrets to the crowd of fans. See photos of The Band Perry at CMA Music Festival >> “It somehow turned into ‘True Confessions with The Band Perry,’” Kimberly Perry said. “We told some of our most embarrassing stories on each other, which got a little dangerous.” Neil Perry showed off his Luke Bryan impression while Kimberly shared a story that got the biggest laugh of the party. “I’ll just make it real simple for you,” Reid Perry said. “We grew up in Mississippi and there is a Pearl River, Mississippi. KP thought Pearl Harbor happened in Mississippi.” “This was many years ago and it just – I figured that the Pearl River would have a harbor somewhere,” Kimberly tried to explain. “I had a really lousy history teacher growing up.” The Band Perry is currently a special guest on Rascal Flatts’ Live & Loud Tour.
