Is RaeLynn Dating a Former Minor League Baseball Player?

RAELYNN celebrated her 21st birthday yesterday . . . and she wasn’t alone.  She tweeted a photo of her kissing a hot looking dude, and she captioned it, “The best birthday gift is having this one with me.”

He’s a former minor league baseball player named Josh Davis, and they’re definitely more than just friends because her Instagram is loaded with pics of them hanging out.

 

 

Zac Brown Had to Cancel Saturday’s Concert Because of Vocal Issues

The ZAC BROWN BAND was forced to cancel their concert on Saturday in Evansville, Indiana because ZAC lost his voice.  The timing is terrible because it was only the second night of their Jekyll + Hyde tour.

They posted the news on their website and promised to reschedule the show.  No word yet if he’ll be ready for their next show, which is Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina.

 

Joe Nichols is Trying to Keep “Traditional Country Alive”

JOE NICHOLS has been working on new music, but not a new sound.  If anything, he wants to keep it old school.

 

He says, quote, “It’s important that we keep an element of traditional country alive.

“I think that’s what distinguishes me a little bit from other people.  As long as I can stay true to that somewhat, I think it gives us a shot to be at least unique.”  No word when the new music will be out.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD hit up social media to ask BRAD PAISLEY if it’s true he’s putting an animated version of her in his “Crushin’ It” video.  He responded with a “yes, ma’am” and included the image, which is a drawing of her as a super hero.  No word when the video will be out.

 

Which member of MADDIE & TAE knows how to use a little bait and tackle?  That would be MADDIE MARLOW, who posted a photo yesterday on Twitter of her holding a nice catch.  She captioned it, “Shout out to all the girls who like to fish.”

 

 

 

New CDs out today include:

 

 

  • “Traveller“, the debut album from country songwriter Chris Stapleton
