Trace Adkins – In a new clip, he can be seen duetting with his “Monarch” co-star Emma Milani on the song ‘Half of my Hometown’, which Kelsea Ballerini and Kenny Chesney took to #1 last year. The new clip is from the show, where Adkins stars as ‘Albie Roman’, a country star who is the patriarch of “the first family of country music.”
WOW. Ana and Albie are mesmerizing singing 'Half Of My Hometown' by @KelseaBallerini.

TENILLE TOWNES – THE LAST TIME IS HERE!
Tenille Townes expertly captures the nostalgia of life’s most meaningful moments with loved ones, noting that people often don’t know when they’ll experience something for “The Last Time” until after the moment has passed.
Townes paints pictures throughout the song of a mom dropping her son off at school every day, until he turns 16 and gets his own car. That means the end of the days that he says “I love you, mom,” as he shuts the car door and heads through the doors of his school. The singer-songwriter also recalls memories with her grandfather, walking down by the water every Saturday and seeing him wear the same sweater and tie at Christmas: “Ain’t it funny how some memories fade, and some never die?” In the end, Townes is with her partner pledging to “love you like it’s the last time,” making the most of their moments together.
LUKE COMBS
Opening weekend didn’t quite go as planned for Luke Combs’ Middle of Somewhere Tour, but he powered through a show despite vocal issues, and refunded the entire crowd to boot.
The show in question took place Saturday night (Sept. 3), and was the second of two-back-to-back dates in Bangor, Maine, that served as opening nights for the Middle of Somewhere Tour. Leading up to showtime, Combs noticed he was struggling to sing — but rather than canceling his performance, he played a shortened set and refunded fans’ ticket money.
“Luke Combs started the show by addressing the crowd to say he had lost his voice from the night before,” a fan explains. “He acknowledged all that goes into coming to a show — the tickets, gas money, babysitters and hotels — and stated that because he didn’t feel he could give his best performance that he would be refunding everyone’s tickets.”
The fan didn’t seem to feel disappointed by the experience — “Best free show I’ve ever seen!,” the post concludes — but Combs was visibly upset as he told the crowd that his voice wasn’t up to par.
“We’re still gonna be the show,” the singer says in a video filmed by another concertgoer. “But it’s not gonna be what I think it should be for you guys having to pay for it. So we’re gonna put on the best free show we can put on, and I want you guys to know how upset I am to tell you that.”
He added, “I’m gonna give you everything that I have, and I’m so sorry … I’m so sorry.”
