    Charles Esten surprised fans on CBS’ The Talk with the live announcement that his new song, “One Good Move,” would be out on March 3rd.

    Cassadee Pope Hits an All-Time High with ‘Thrive’

    October 15, 2021 /

    Cassadee Pope is no stranger to breaking the rules and paving a path that’s uniquely her own. On her new album Thrive, Pope expertly combines musical genres of her past and present while firmly defining her future. The combination creates a new genre of music that Pope’s fans refer to as “y’allternative.” A combination of the pop-infused country formula introduced on her first two solo records and her punk-rock past fronting the band Hey Monday. Collaborating with seasoned and iconic talents from both of the genres that previously defined her, Thrive has something for everyone. The album includes features from Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, Lindsay Ell, and Third Eye Blind’s…

    As one chapter of life was coming to a close, I made a life-changing decision to pack up what I could and move from my hometown in Colorado to Nashville. I had no plan, no job, and no idea what I was doing. We had just wrapped the 10th Anniversary of The UMS, feeling both accomplished and exhausted. As we packed up what remained from that milestone, I packed up my car and what I could fit into my rented trailer and hit the road. ? Little did I know then that I was embarking on an 11-year adventure that would change my life in so many meaningful ways. From…
