Chris Janson Says Blake Shelton is a “Good Human Being”
I think we all suspect performers behave differently when the audience is gone and the cameras are turned off. Well, CHRIS JANSON has been opening for BLAKE SHELTON and he’s beyond impressed with how real the guy is.
He says, quote, “[Blake’s] such a good human being. I’ve been around a lot of big stars, and a lot of nice ones, but he does more for people than anybody I’ve ever been around, just on his own free will. He’s just a good man. He’s a very good person.”
And Blake spreads the love everywhere. Quote, “He’s been so respectful of my crew, and myself, and my wife, and everyone on the road. He treats us like gold.”
One more thing: If you’re in the same area Chris and Blake are performing, hang around the basketball courts because you might catch them playing hoops.
He adds, quote, “We play in whatever town we’re in . . . [pro] arenas, or if there’s a big college in town we get to play in their practice arenas, which is cool. We ball hard out there. It’s fun on the road.”
Florida Georgia Line Has Been Recording Music in Brian Kelley’s Treehouse
Remember when BRIAN KELLEY bragged that FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE would be recording music in that tricked-out treehouse he built in his back yard? Well, it happened.
He posted a photo on social media and captioned it, “Can’t wait for you and the world to hear the magic we captured on this new record here in this ‘viby’ treehouse.” The new album is supposed to come out in August.

Eric Church Says His “Mr. Misunderstood” Album “Just Happened”
ERIC CHURCH wasn’t trying to be sneaky when he suddenly released his “Mr. Misunderstand” album last fall. It all started when he was “inspired” to go into the studio. Quote, “I didn’t expect to sit down write an album. It [just] happened.”
And it happened fast. He recorded it in 30 days and then thought it would be a “crime” to let it sit on the shelf. Quote, “[So] we decided to let the fans have it first. We sent out about 80,000 . . . and let the fans be the mouthpiece for it.”
The ACMs are over a week away, but we already have three winners in the Best New Artist categories. Chris Stapleton is New Male Artist of the Year, Kelsea Ballerini is New Female Artist, and Old Dominion was named the New Duo/Group of the Year. (Full Story)
