NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 24, 2026)  Well-known Christian music artists, JJ Weeks, Mark Clay, and Benjamin Scott, have launched Weeks Revival. The supremely talented trio is no stranger to Southern Gospel music, with all three vocalists growing up singing in church. The trio signed to New Day Records, a division of Daywind Music Group, and is set to releasing new music and hit the road ministering this spring. Debut dates will include Scotty Inman and more.

“We are incredibly grateful and excited to link arms with New Day Records,” says JJ Weeks. "Stepping out in faith and following where we believe God is leading always requires trust—that He will open the right doors at the right time. We truly feel we’ve found a home with New Day. Our new songs were written honestly, flowing from real life, real faith, and a deep love for God’s people. Now, through this partnership, they can reach far beyond our own circles. We’re thankful to work with a team that believes in the message behind the music, and we’re excited to see where God leads us in this next chapter.”

Daywind Music Group’s Dusty Wells echoes these sentiments. "JJ brings with him an incredible legacy, including several Top 10 Christian songs and his No. 1 hit “Let Them See You,” while Mark and Benjamin add years of trusted ministry (many with NewSong), harmony, and heart. Together, this trio offers a fresh sound rooted in a timeless message—the hope, truth, and life that only Jesus brings. Their songs are powerful, their hearts are genuine, and they know their calling and stand strong in it. We at New Day Records are honored to come alongside Weeks Revival and help carry their music and message to a world that needs hope now more than ever.”

Weeks Revival is in the studio now recording its debut record with Barry Weeks (no relation) producing. The debut single, “Breakin’ Loose,” will arrive at radio on Daywind Music Group’s March compilation disc and be available at DSPs on March 13, 2026.

Award-Winning Bluegrass Guitarist Bob Minner Teams Up with Tim McGraw and Lori McKenna for Keith Whitley Classic “Kentucky Bluebird”

A Favorite McGraw Warm-Up Tune

World Premiere on SiriusXM’s Bluegrass Junction on Release Day February 27th

Available 2/27/26 on Streaming and Download Platforms and on Bob Minner’s WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON Album Later This Year

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 27, 2026) — IMBA Bluegrass Award- winning recording artist Bob Minner is releasing today “Kentucky Bluebird” featuring Grammy ® Award winners Tim McGraw and Lori McKenna.

Minner has a decades-long relationship with the legendary McGraw as one of his touring guitar players. The song, first recorded by Country Music Hall of Famer, Keith Whitley, is known among McGraw’s inner circle as a favorite pre-show warm-up tune.

What began as a ritual behind the curtain has now become a recorded moment, offering an intimate, reverent, and deeply-rooted country classic in a contemporary fashion while not breaking from the song’s natural, emotive approach.  

“This is one of those songs that never lets go of you,” Minner shares. “One of the things Tim and I had in common from the beginning was our love and appreciation for Keith Whitley. Tim was more familiar with Keith’s country work, and I, being a bluegrass kid, knew Keith’s work with JD Crowe and his time with Ricky Skaggs when both were playing as teenagers with Ralph Stanley.”

Minner continues, “When it came time to do my album for Billy Blue Records, Tim offered to record one for it. It made sense to do a Keith song, so we agreed on the classic ‘Kentucky Bluebird’ from the 1991 posthumous Keith Whitley record of the same name. Tim delivers it with such honesty and raw emotion, and having the amazing Lori McKenna sing harmony was the cherry on top. Our take on this classic is a full-circle moment for me and a way to pay musical respect to a legend gone way too soon.”

McGraw’s unmistakable vocal presence brings familiar warmth, while McKenna’s harmony and interpretive depth add a layer of quiet gravity, honoring Whitley’s influence without attempting to outshine it. The result is a stripped-down, soul-forward recording that feels more like a front-porch session than a studio cut.

“Keith Whitley was a big influence on me,” shares Tim McGraw. “I moved to Nashville the day he died. Bob has played acoustic guitar for me for 33 years, and we’ve played ‘Kentucky Bluebird’ more times than I can remember before a show. When he asked me to sing it on his record, I was happy to help out. And having Lori McKenna singing harmony makes it even more special.”

GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter, Lori McKenna, adds, “Singing harmonies on ‘Kentucky Bluebird’ with Tim on lead on Bob’s incredible interpretation of this classic is a dream—a ‘pinch-me’ moment. I don’t know how I get to spin in the same orbit as Bob and Tim, but working with them is always a master class. I’m so glad the world gets to hear this record Bob Minner has put together. The talent, care, and experience he brings to everything he does is a true inspiration.”

Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member and producer Don Cook proudly notes, “This is now my favorite version of the song I wrote with Wally Wilson for our friend Keith Whitley in 1986. The track is organic acoustic music at its finest. Wish the guitar solo was longer!”

The release stands as both a tribute and a testament to friendship, to the songs artists carry with them night after night, and to the enduring power of country music when it tells the truth simply.

 The Grascals & Dolly Parton Premiere “Broken Angels” Video as Single Takes #1 Spot on the Charts

 The song resonates compassion and redemption

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 10, 2026) — As their powerful new collaboration continues gaining momentum at radio and streaming platforms, The Grascals and Dolly Parton have officially premiered the music video for their moving single, “Broken Angels,” on February 10th, 2026

The video arrives as “Broken Angels” steadily rises on the charts, drawing widespread attention across bluegrass, americana, gospel, and country audiences. The song is hailed for its emotional depth and unmistakable vocal blend that pairs The Grascals’ world-class musicianship with Parton’s instantly recognizable voice and heartfelt delivery.

“Broken Angels” is a song of compassion and redemption, offering hope for those who are hurting and honoring the quiet strength it takes to keep believing. The newly released video brings that message to life sharing themes of restoration, grace, and unwavering support. Jamie Johnson spent years in addiction and recovery. After a decade long hiatus from the Grascals, Johnson returns with renewed fervor for music, family and his friendships.

“I’ve had the idea to write a song about recovery for a long time; one that speaks to my best friend who shares many of the same struggles with addiction and depression that I do,” says Jamie Johnson. “I tried to piece it together myself, but it just wasn’t coming together. There was only one person I had in mind to help me finish it—Dolly. I recorded the little bit I had and sent it to her. Within a day or two, she called me to say she loved the idea. She also loves this same friend as much as I do, and that was the beginning of ‘Broken Angels’. Dolly, along with The Osborne Brother, has been the biggest influence on The Grascals’ career. I truly love her like family, and I know this song wouldn’t exist without her passion, heart, and unmatched gift for crafting such a beautiful piece of music.”

The video’s simplistic approach underscores why the collaboration has resonated so strongly with fans and industry tastemakers alike. Since its release, “Broken Angels” has seen rapid engagement across streaming platforms, playlist adds, and genre charts, solidifying its place as one of the most impactful bluegrass releases of the year. The video includes two original members of The Grascals; Jimmy Mattingly and Terry Eldredge, joined the current band lineup of Jamie Johnson, Kyle Perkins, Danny Roberts, Kristin Scott Benson, John Bryan, Jamie Harper in the video with Dolly.

With its multi-week, chart-topping single continues to build and the official video now unveiled, “Broken Angels,” is poised to become a lasting anthem of hope for audiences that have had their lives touched by addiction and recovery. 

About The Grascals:

Few bands have made as lasting an impact on bluegrass music as The Grascals. From the very beginning, their blend of modern traditional bluegrass, gospel, and country influences, matched with world-class musicianship and an unshakable love for the genre, has earned them a spot among the most respected and enduring groups in acoustic music.

Formed in 2004 in Nashville, Tennessee, The Grascals are a band built on friendship, shared roots, and a common vision to create bluegrass music that honors tradition while forging its own identity. Their breakout moment came fast—within months of forming, they were hand-picked by Dolly Parton to serve as her opening act and backing band on tour. That early endorsement set the tone for the band's trajectory: respected by legends, loved by fans, and celebrated by the industry.

Their debut album, The Grascals announced their arrival with authority. It won IBMA's Emerging Artist of the Year and Album of the Year and included a duet with Dolly Parton on “Viva Las Vegas” that showcased their versatility and crossover appeal. From there, the accolades kept coming with two IBMA Entertainers of the Year awards, three GRAMMY nominations, a Dove Award nomination and a host of other awards and recognition.  Now with thirteen albums, performances all over the world and for two United States Presidents, The Grascals can truthfully say they have the best of both worlds — the steadiness of a veteran group that knows who they are and where they’re going, and the excitement and energy of an ensemble that knows it still has something to prove. 

The band’s collaborative spirit is another hallmark of their career. In addition to Dolly Parton, The Grascals have recorded and toured with artists including Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr., George Jones, The Oak Ridge Boys, Patty Loveless, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, Steve Wariner, The Jordanaires, Tom T. Hall, and more. Their respect for their musical heroes and peers has allowed them to build bridges between bluegrass and other genres, expanding their reach without compromising their sound.

The Grascals are known for their ability to balance traditional drive with contemporary flair along with their authenticity, humility, and showmanship, The Grascals are a fan favorite on the festival circuit and are regular performers on the Grand Ole Opry with over 200 guest appearances. Their live shows combine technical excellence with emotional storytelling and a dose of humor, making every performance memorable.

Now more than two decades into their career, The Grascals remain at the top of their game—honoring the past, embracing the present, and helping shape the future of bluegrass music.  With a renewed spirit and zeal to continue to create and blaze new music trails, be on the lookout for much more to come from The Grascals!

Bright lights, big city

On the street below, there's a blue Mercedes

Follow that car as it drives on out

To a picket fence loud on the edge of town

County line, there's a man on a tractor

Raising up corn and a family after

The sun goes down supper and grace

It's a big old world at the end of the day

Chorus

We're all just people

Working hard, putting food on the table

Throwing up prayers and tryin’ to stay faithful

Long as we're able

We're all just human making mistakes

And love, it's what we do, man

Just doing the very best that we can

Cause on the others side, He ain't checking labels

We're all just people

No matter where your sun rises

It's gonna rain, it's gonna shine

We're gonna live, we're gonna die

And we all just wanna leave something behind

Heart to have, a hand to hold

A safe place we can go

To plant a seed and watch it grow

There's a thousand names for what we call home

Chorus

We're all just people

Working hard, putting food on the table

Throwing up prayers and tryna stay faithful

Long as we're able

We're all just human making mistakes

And love, it's what we do, man

Just doing the very best that we can

Cause on the others side, He ain't checking labels

We're all just people

Bridge

From a million miles away (Miles away)

Oh, we all just look the same (Ohh)

Chorus

ROGER L. SIMON LAUNCHES BOLD NEW FICTION SERIES EMET,

BLENDING ESPIONAGE, FAITH, AND ANCIENT MYSTICISM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 10, 2026) - Acclaimed novelist, screenwriter, and

journalist Roger L. Simon returns to fiction with the launch of EMET, the first installment

of a provocative new series that confronts the spiritual and geopolitical dangers facing

Christians and Jews in the modern world. PRESALE LINK HERE

At 82, Simon calls this creative resurgence “remarkably optimistic” and is arguably sone

of his most ambitious works to date.

Simon, best known for his iconic Moses Wine detective novels beginning with the 1970s

classic The Big Fix, hasn’t released a series novel in over two decades. He continued

his creative endeavors by writing various fiction and non-fiction titles, screenplays like

the iconic Richard Pryor 1981 classic “Bustin Loose,” and his own “The Big Fix” with

Richard Dreyfus, received an Oscar nomination for “Best Writing, Screenplay” based

on material from Another Medium, for co-writing the 1989 film “Enemies, A Love

Story" with director Paul Mazursky. And if that isn’t enough, he founded the influential

media platform PJ Media.

But with EMET, Simon is returning to his first love: storytelling that challenges,

provokes, and illuminates.

“I felt compelled to start this series because of my increasing religiosity and the fear that

both Christians and Jews are significantly endangered in our times,” Simon explains.

“A story emerged in a style I came to regard as part Le Carré, part ancient Jewish

mysticism. In the end, it addresses a question that perplexes most of us: How much

does God intervene in human affairs?”

Simon notes that he doesn’t expect to discover the definitive answer—but believes the

exploration itself will offer compelling, thought-provoking reading for audiences across

generations and faith backgrounds.

EMET introduces an enthralling narrative world where espionage intersects with divine

mystery, where geopolitics collide with spiritual warfare, and where the forces shaping

humanity may be seen and unseen.

With EMET, Roger L. Simon proves that creativity not only endures with age, it can

sharpen, deepen, and continue with urgent relevance.

About Roger L. Simon:

Roger L. Simon is an award-winning novelist, screenwriter, journalist, and media

entrepreneur whose career spans more than five decades across literature, film, and

cultural commentary. He first gained prominence with his bestselling Moses Wine

detective series, beginning with the 1970s breakout hit The Big Fix, which became a

cultural touchstone and later a Hollywood film.

A prolific writer, Simon earned an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay work

and became a leading voice in political and social journalism. He co-founded PJ Media,

one of the earliest and most influential digital platforms in the online commentary

landscape, shaping national dialogue for over a decade.

His work has appeared in major publications worldwide, and he is known for his sharp

intellect, fearless critique, and ability to fuse narrative craft with cultural insight.

In his 80s, Simon has returned to fiction with EMET, a new series inspired by his

deepening religious curiosity and concerns for the growing challenges facing Christians

and Jews. Blending espionage, mysticism, and moral inquiry, Simon’s latest work

reaffirms his standing as one of America’s most versatile and thought-provoking

storytellers.

Her talents as a singer and a songwriter are connecting as “Keep the Faith” has Southbound 615 naming it one of the “Best Singles of 2025,” while SiriusXM Canada’s “That Eric Alper” show called it “a defining moment… radiating warmth, courage, and conviction.”  Entertainment Focus noted that “the West Tennessee native is turning heads with her powerful voice and relatable storytelling,” on “American Dreamin’.”

Exclusive — Nashville Hall of Famer Jeffrey Steele Gives ‘A Voice’ to the Voiceless in Stirring Free Speech Anthem: ‘We All Need to Be Part of the Charlie Kirk Choir’

Beethoven once stated: “Music can change the world.”

Once in awhile you hear a song that hits so deeply, it can make you feel…it can make you re-evaluate…it can make you change. Nashville Hall of Fame songwriter, Jeffrey Steele, has made a career of penning songs that do just those things, songs like “My Wish” and “What Hurts the Most” for Rascal Flatts, “The Cowboy in Me” for Tim McGraw, and more recently the Democrat- slamming smash hit by Aaron Lewis “Am I the Only One?” which went to #1 on the Billboard charts without any mainstream radio play. His words have found their way to songs for artists like Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Eric Church, Miley Cyrus, Trace Adkins among so many others.

But now, with the release of A Voice Steele is using his own voice to deliver a powerful message for those who feel unheard and underrepresented in the face of the powers that be. From farmers, to front line nurses, soldiers and cops, and perhaps most importantly, children, Steele explores the concept of what does having a voice look like these days, and in so many cases, what does it look like to not have a voice?

The chorus is one of those melodies that singers and songwriters hear and shake their heads, wishing they had come up with it. It draws you in, lifts you up, and doesn’t let you forget it. It takes you to a place where, when you hear it, you know that there are people that need help and that’s exactly the takeaway Steele wants for the song. He told Breitbart News, “I hope every time someone hears it, they’ll be inclined to help someone, be the microphone and help someone find a voice…say what others might be afraid to say.”

Which brings us to one of the most powerfully delivered lines in the song: “The Charlie Kirk choir all lightin’ our lighters.” Steele wrote A Voice with fellow Nashville hitmakers Chris Wallin and Colin Raye and in the original version that line was “We’re the teenage wasteland lighting our lighter,” but then Steele ventured into the town square in Franklin, Tennessee to attend one of many nationwide vigils for Charlie. Steele described the scene, “thousands of people gathered and the crowd kept growing. They were praying and singing. Nobody could hear the speakers. As a songwriter, I write what I see and what I saw was a Charlie Kirk choir and it wasn’t about politics, it was about God and Prayer and love….and togetherness and that feeling needed to be represented in the song.” So, Steele called up Wallin and after discussing the Franklin vigil, they decided to change the lyric. “Charlie gave the microphone to everyone including those who hated and disagreed with him, and ultimately this song is about free speech,” Steele said.

The music video for A Voice juxtaposes a powerhouse performance from Steele with stirring portraits of Americans from all walks of life, including a young man who was told he’d never walk again after a car accident but is now walking, an older woman with Parkinson’s disease, a Gold Star mom, and a soldier tragically disfigured in battle….profiles in courage in a world that is overwhelmed with politics and often overlooks the heroes we see every day.

As Steele puts it, “we’ve been split into left and right, we need to remember that the only two sides are up and down.”

A VOICE – Lyrics

I’m the Soldier, I fought and died for you
Gave up my Life
To give you the Right,
to live the life you choose
I’m the Farmer, out here dying on the Vine
Trying to feed your Family,
barely feeding mine
I swear to God sometimes

I wish I had a Voice
I would raise it now
For all the silent ones,
no one seems to care about
Speak for all of us,
Crank the volume up,
and let the simple truth cut through the noise
I wish I had a voice

I’m the Hero Front Line Nurse,
I give it all I got
They praised me till the day I spoke my mind
and lost my job
Third generation Cop,
proud to wear this Badge
But it’s hard to put bad guys away, with my Hands behind my Back
Wonder what my Dad would think of that

I wish I had a Voice
I would raise it now
For all the silent ones,
no one seems to care about
Speak for all of us,
Crank the volume up,
and let the simple truth cut through the noise
I wish I had a voice

I’m the Trucker, they’re phasing out
She’s a housewife, but you can’t say that now
I’m a laid off Factory Worker who’s Factory’s China bound
We’re the Coal Miners, Firefighters,
The Charlie Kirk choir all lightin’ our lighters,
Finally waking up, we had enough, of the Liars setting the World on fire
We’re the Children, crying out for help,
a million miles away from home who can’t speak for ourselves.

Will you be our Voice
Will you raise it now
For all the silent Ones,
no one seems to care about
Speak for all of us, crank the volume up, and let the simple truth cut through the noise
Will you be
Yes I’ll be
I will be your voice

Girl-Next-Door Singer-Songwriter
Lakelin Lemmings Releases Fun Situationship Song ‘What Are We Doing’

NASHVILLE, TN (Jan. 9, 2026) – QHMG / Quartz Hill Records’ girl-next-door singer-songwriter Lakelin Lemmings today released “What Are We Doing.” The track is a fun, fact-finding template for anyone caught in a situationship, not knowing where a potential romance is headed. The mid-tempo groove is modern classic country, laced with banjo and mandolin.

WATCH the official visualizer HERE.

“So, basically, I was in a situationship with a guy and it had been long enough where I was kind of getting tired,” says Lakelin. “I wanted to know whether we were gonna do this or not, but was still afraid to tell him, so I wrote everything I wanted to say to him and sang it instead. It’s a fun, upbeat way of asking a guy to make up his mind!”

Lakelin penned “What Are We Doing” with hit songwriter Neil Coty (Mark Chesnutt’s country standard “She Was”) and the track’s producer, Ash Bowers (Matt Stell’s 2x Platinum smash “Prayed For You”). The sing-along chorus is a series of rapid-fire questions from a young woman who simply wants some answers from her would-be boyfriend:

What are we doing

Where’s this going

Is this door open

Or is it closing

All this on again off again

Feather in the wind

Are we more than friends

Are we calling it love or calling it quits

Gets a bit confusing

What are we doing

“What Are We Doing” is Lakelin’s fourth release on Quartz Hill Records. It follows “Keep the Faith,” a timely song of inspiration, and “American Dreamin’” and “Parking Lot,” a pair of autobiographical songs about Lakelin’s small-town roots in West Tennessee.

Lakelin recently graced the cover of New Music Weekly magazine and is receiving rave reviews for her debut project:

• Holler recently named Lakelin as one of “10 Country and Americana Artists You Need to Know.”
  
  

• Country Evolution has lauded Lakelin as “one of country music’s most promising new voices.”
  
  

• Entertainment Focus has noted that “the West Tennessee native is turning heads with her powerful voice and relatable storytelling.”

Now 19 years old, Lakelin began performing in talent shows and local festivals at the age of six and was writing and recording her own music in Nashville by the time she turned 12. The rising star inked her first Music City publishing deal at just 17 and signed an artist deal with Quartz Hill Music Group this past June, amassing more than 120,000 TikTok followers along the way.

The 19-year-old singer-songwriter from West Tennessee is utterly approachable, and undeniably herself. She’s the all-American girl next door, with big dreams and the talent to achieve them. 

On “American Dreamin’,” her debut release on Quartz Hill Records, Lakelin spelled out all the things that shaped her: small towns, a supportive family, a dedication to faith and, of course, country music. Lakelin’s latest track, “What Are We Doing,” is a fun, fact-finding template for anyone caught in a situationship, not knowing where a potential romance is headed.

Born and raised in a musical family—her dad is a touring country guitarist—Lakelin began singing at age six and grew up listening to icons like Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Loretta Lynn and Lee Ann Womack, along with today’s stars Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood, and a heavy helping of Nineties pop.

Lakelin signed her first Nashville publishing deal at just 17 years old and has since amassed more than 120,000 followers on TikTok. Connection and communication with her audience is what drives Lakelin’s songwriting. She strives to let listeners—especially girls her own age—know that they’re seen and heard.

JOHN RICH UNLEASHES “THE RIGHTEOUS HUNTER”: A POWERFUL NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO TAKING AIM AT AMERICA’S GREATEST SIN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 28, 2025)— Multi-platinum artist, songwriter, and citizen advocate John Rich delivers one of his most gripping works to date with the release of “The Righteous Hunter,” a riveting new single and short film that shines a piercing light on the epidemic of child trafficking and the moral duty of parents and others to protect the innocent. The Righteous Hunter | New Single

Rich was moved to write the song after seeing a speech by music mogul Sean Combs, in which Combs declared, “We control your souls. We control what your kids listen to.”

“When I heard that, I realized that Combs—and people like him—have no problem declaring to the world that they can do whatever they want with our kids,” said Rich. “He uses his music as a weapon of wickedness, so I wanted to write a song from the perspective of a parent—and their willingness to die to protect their children from degenerates who wish them harm and view them as nothing more than a commodity.”

To ensure the authenticity of the song’s ‘short’, Dr. Brook Parker-Bello—a survivor of child trafficking who has helped rescue more than 14,000 children over the past two decades—served as the film’s advisor. Her insight and experience guided the production to portray the painful reality of trafficking with accuracy and respect.

With a cast driven by conviction, the short film features Shawn Ryan, a decorated veteran and father, portraying the parent; Jeffrey Steele, Country Music Hall of Fame songwriter, as an undercover agent; and Mike “Cheeze” Brown, a legendary rock manager, as the central villain.

“Each of these men shed tears during the shoot,” Rich shared, “but they delivered powerful performances that drove the message home.”

Rich hopes “The Righteous Hunter” will shake viewers to their core and move them to action.

“Over 36 million reports of children being targeted by predators online are filed every year in America. Less than 1% of kids who are trafficked are ever returned to their parents,” Rich said. “To me, this is America’s greatest sin—and it causes the greatest sadness and anger from Jesus Christ. It’s time for moms and dads to wake up, protect their kids online, and do their jobs as defenders of the innocent.”

He also encourages viewers to support organizations like the Tim Tebow Foundation, Operation LightShine and Know2Protect which all fund anti-trafficking operations and rescues.

The video includes a re-enactment of a child “purchase” — a disturbing but vital scene that has rarely, if ever, been portrayed so directly.

“As difficult as it is to watch, I thought it was mandatory that we portray what it actually looks like when adults purchase children,” Rich explained. “Most Americans know it happens but turn a blind eye because it’s too disturbing to deal with. That’s exactly why it’s grown into such an epidemic. It’s time we take the fight to the predators instead of hoping they don’t come for our kids next. No child is truly safe while these pedophiles are allowed to operate.

Directed by David Abbott, the making of “The Righteous Hunter” was, in Rich’s words, “a gut-wrenching task.”

“We prayed before the shoot that this song and video would shake the American parent to their core,” he said. “If it moves even one person to stand up, speak out, and protect the next child—it will have done its job.”  Driven by faith, fire, and purpose, we hope that song and video will stir many to action.

“The Righteous Hunter” follows Rich’s bold 2025 release, “The Devil and the TVA,” a song that made monumental strides in bringing attention to the struggles of Tennessee farmers and landowners. Together, these songs form a clear picture of an artist unafraid to use his platform to defend freedom, family, and faith.

Dr. Carol Swain Clinches Victory in High-Profile Cambridge Union Debate

The Cambridge Union Society was founded in 1815, making it the oldest continuously running debating society in the world

Highly regarded scholar continues to provide insight through her speaking engagements, and numerous books tackling topics of cultural import.

Oxford, UK – (November 7, 2025) – Esteemed political scientist and public commentator Dr. Carol Swain achieved a decisive win on October 16, at the Cambridge Union, the oldest debating society in the world.

Facing a live chamber of students, scholars and media, Dr. Swain and her team represented the opposition team on the motion: “This House Believes Black Lives Matter’s Intentions Were More Important Than Its Methods. A full-house audience and subsequent floor vote affirmed the opposition’s position.The subject is key the recent United States Department of Justice probe into the fraud allegations of BLM.

Countering the motion that BLM’s intentions mattered more than the organization’s actions, Swain stated that “good intentions are meaningless without effective-- principled methods to achieve them.. BLM’s stated an intention to end systemic racism and police brutality…but its methods contradicted these aims."

In delivering the closing arguments for the opponents, she framed her key themes of personal agency, free speech, and the unintended consequences of activist movements. Her argumentation referenced rigorous academic research, historical precedent and contemporary cultural dynamics.

Earlier this year, Charlie Kirk debated the students at formidable debate society on specifics pertaining to human rights.

Below are some key points in her debate:

She argued that “Black Lives Matter,” is a true statement about the value of Black human life. However, BLM, the organization was a different entity that was not morally equivalent. In addition, she cited legal proceedings, autopsies, social science data and surveys to show that BLM was not an organization that should be lauded.

Her closing remarks resonated:

“Intentions without sound methods and vision are the pathway to ruination.   As we move forward as people of goodwill, let us judge social movements by their methods, not just their lofty aspirations.” 

This victory positions Dr. Swain at the forefront of contemporary cultural and academic discourse. Media and academic stakeholders will be scrutinizing how her intervention at Oxford reshapes the conversation around free speech, activism and generational cultural change. Moreover, her performance underscores the continuing global relevance of robust debate and viewpoint plurality in higher education.

ERIC & LINDSEY HEATHERLY REINTRODUCE THEMSELVES

AS AMERICAN LOVE AFFAIR WITH DEBUT SINGLE OF THE SAME NAME

Husband-Wife Duo Also Announce 2026 Residency in Branson, Missouri at the Americana Theater

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 17, 2025) — Acclaimed husband-and-wife artists Eric & Lindsey Heatherly have officially rebranded as American Love Affair, marking the next chapter of their creative evolution with the release of their debut single of the same name. The vintage-infused track, set for impact October 17th, “American Love Affair,” sets the tone for a new era—one defined by timeless songwriting, analog authenticity, and a sonic aesthetic inspired by the golden age of American music.  American Love Affair by American Love Affair | Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Tidal | PUSH.fm

Additionally, Eric says, “Every time we play ‘American Love Affair’ LIVE, people come up and say ‘Wow…That song totally needs to be in a Tarantino film…’ We always look at each other and smile because that’s exactly the sentiment we wanted to get across when we recorded this track, mostly in the dark, in a 1927 Spanish Mediterranean house way down south.”

Lindsey continues, “We originally wrote it for Miley Cyrus but after demoing it-we said - ‘no way we are giving this one up.’So, we lit the candles, channeled our best Duane Eddy guitar tones, Nancy Sinatra swagger and Chris Isaac vibes. It dripped out of us like cold molasses. We filmed the video for it at the sultry 1947 dive bar, Azalea Cocktail Lounge in Pensacola, FL. It turned out so special and it’s gotten us major label attention for the first time in 20yrs. The track embodies our love for each other but also encapsulates our passion for making music together.

A New Sound Rooted in Classic Americana

Recorded in an historic 1927 Spanish Revival home on the Gulf Coast, the single channels the lush textures and warmth of 1960s-era analog recordings. Written originally for Miley Cyrus, “American Love Affair” showcases whimsical Duane Eddy-style guitar tones, sultry vocal harmonies, and a magnetic groove that feels both nostalgic and new.

In keeping with their artistic philosophy, the duo intentionally avoided modern digital shortcuts, recording live and keeping the “stank” in the sound—favoring real instruments, vintage amplifiers, and raw performances that preserve emotion over perfection.

Eric, known for his worldwide hit “Flowers on the Wall” and lauded Mercury Records debut Swimming in Champagne, joins Lindsey—an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and visual artist—in crafting what critics are calling “a fresh spin on vintage Americana.”

“What the world needs now is love... sweet love—and American Love Affair!” said Billy Burnette, member of Fleetwood Mac and former guitarist for John Fogerty. “Eric and Lindsey have tapped into something real. Their music brings back the magic of when records had soul and style.”

Alongside the debut single and rebrand, American Love Affair will return to Missouri for an exclusive Branson residency at the Americana Theater from March through December 2026. The duo will perform as featured artists in an original show they created and produced with drummer Brian Duvall called, HITS ON ROUTE 66. They’ll incorporate their signature retro sound with a visual history of America’s mother road Route 66.

Fans can expect special live performances of “American Love Affair”, and full-length headline shows throughout the residency.

“Branson has always been a special place for us,” said Lindsey. “It’s where our journey as a duo truly began, where we got engaged and it feels like the perfect home for this new chapter.”
