    Charles Esten Prepares for Debut Album with Release of Single “One Good Move”

    February 21, 2023 /

    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. The song is now available to stream on all streaming platforms and digital retailers.

Co-written by Esten with Sam Bacicoff, Zarni deVette, and Elise Hayes, “One Good Move” is a reflective power ballad with a soul-baring story, describing a misspent youth that paid off in the end with “one good move.” Dedicated to his college sweetheart and wife of 31 years, Patty,…

    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…

    11 Years Later

    July 27, 2021 /

    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…

    21 Things I Want to Do in ’21

    June 2, 2021 /

    It’s 2021 and with Covid-19 almost behind us, here are 21 things I want to do now that the pandemic is over. Listen, the pandemic was long! It’s not over, but we do finally see the light at the end of the tunnel as U.S. mask mandates are lifted and travel plans are a go. After more than a year in lockdown, I’m getting my second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine shot today. I can’t wait! I was fearful of what the rushed-to-market vaccine would do long-term and originally thought I’d be late to the vaccine game. I’ve never had a flu shot after all. But after a year of…

    5 Things: I’m Watching on TV During Quarantine

    November 17, 2020 /

    Listen, quarantine has been rough. Every day feels like Groundhog Day. I go to my socially distant gym, work from my converted home office, cook dinner, watch some TV with my husband and pups, go to sleep, and then repeat… every single day. And while Hollywood has spent most of 2020 in shutdown mode, TV has managed to deliver some saving graces to this pandemic nightmare we’re living in. The Undoing This thrill-seeking who-done-it is easily the best thing on TV right now. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant deliver major Emmy’s vibes in this HBO Max drama that has more twists and turns than a winding mountain freeway. Every few…
