Rising country duo Ryan and Rory wrap up their breakout 2025 with the release of “Lawn Chair In The Living Room,” a new single arriving this Friday, November 28. Written by Ryan Follese, Rory John Zak, Andy Albert, Trannie Anderson, and Kevin Bard, the track leans into lived-in storytelling and self-aware charm. “Rory had a difficult breakup early this year,” shares Ryan. “And then he came home to an empty house… a circumstance that, to songwriters, inspires a great song title: ‘Lawn Chair In The Living Room.’” Rory adds, “I decided to turn heartbreak into interior design, at least that’s what a guy would call it.”
With an eye for detail and plenty of warmth, the duo captures the feeling of solitude before someone special changes everything. “Lawn Chair” follows their fan-favorite “Together Again (feat. Jamey Johnson)” and the upbeat “Girls Are Pretty,” closing a major year of new music and coast-to-coast touring. Their final run of 2025 includes dates alongside John Morgan and the James Barker Band across Canada and the western U.S., bringing their signature harmony and humor to fans one last time this year.

London punk trio Dream Nails unleash a fierce new anthem with “House Of Bones,” the first single from their upcoming third album ‘You Wish,’ set for release February 6, 2026 via Marshall Records. Recorded with Ali Chant and shaped by the band’s signature mix of power and play, the track is a hard-hitting statement of self-possession and inner strength. “This song is about finding strength within yourself – and safety in your own body,” says drummer Lucy Katz. Guitarist Anya Pearson adds, “House of Bones is saying: Haters will hate, but we keep going, no matter what.” Inspired in part by Nova Twins’ “Bassline Bitch,” the track carries a raw edge with a bold groove and a video featuring Dream Nails’ real-life jiu jitsu fighter friends.
Following the single, Dream Nails will celebrate with a UK in-store tour and full run of intimate live shows that stretch from Southampton to Norwich. The album sees Mimi Jasson stepping up as lead vocalist for the first time, with the trio embracing new ways of writing, recording, and thinking as a unit. “At the end of the day, we’re just three people with three acoustic instruments doing everything we can to make a massive sound,” says Anya. ‘You Wish’ captures a band in full transformation—still riotous, still righteous, but more expansive and elemental than ever.

Billy Strings lit up The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night with a blazing performance of “Leaning on a Travelin’ Song,” showing exactly why he continues to sit at the top of modern bluegrass. The appearance comes as Strings celebrates a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album for his latest release ‘Highway Prayers,’ a chart-topping project produced with Jon Brion that debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales Chart. Pitchfork praised the album for expanding bluegrass’s emotional depth, while GQ called Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades.”
Fresh off a surprise live album with Sutton and an Apple Music Sessions EP, Strings is headed into a massive tour that includes multi-night stints in Louisville, Athens, Asheville, and Nashville—including a special performance at the Ryman. As Strings told Colbert’s crowd, he’s not just leaning on tradition—he’s riding full speed into the future of the genre.

For the second consecutive year, the Browns will honor one of Cleveland’s most iconic organizations, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame at Huntington Bank Field on Nov. 30 against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization committed to investing in arts education, preserving and honoring rock & roll’s history and its artists, and making world-class exhibitions accessible to everyone in Clevland and around the world.
“The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a fundamental part of Cleveland, and we’re excited to collaborate with them to bring that energy directly to Browns fans for a second year in a row,” Haslam Sports Group Chief Marketing Officer Brent Rossi said. “Through Rock Hall artist performances, activations and in-game experiences, we’re giving them a front-row seat to celebrate the city’s music legacy while making memories they won’t forget at Huntington Bank Field.”
Dawg Pound Drive will feature 2021 Rock Hall Inductees, Foo Fighters. The takeover will include a themed stage, branded drinks and a classic rock cover band. Fans will also have a Foo Fighters–branded guitar smash photo opportunity modeled after the Browns’ traditional pregame guitar smash. Foo Fighters will be visiting Huntington Bank Field on Aug. 10 as part of their 2026 Take Cover Tour.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 Inductee Big Boi will be performing at halftime. Big Boi was inducted into the Rock Hall for shaping the sound of modern hip-hop as part of GRAMMY® award-winning duo Outkast and as the Dungeon Family’s preeminent lyricist. His decades-long influence, as a solo artist, songwriter and producer cemented his legacy as one of Atlanta’s defining musical icons. The Dawg Pound Captain will be a surprise and revealed when they smash the guitar ahead of the start of the game.
The Browns will also highlight the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats initiative on Sunday. RB Dylan Sampson will wear custom cleats inspired by the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning, which partners with the Rock Hall on Inspiration Through Music, a free program that provides beginner to intermediate music instruction for Cleveland residents and Cleveland Metropolitan School District students in grades 3–12.

“Working with Kyle Lehning on ‘Here Comes Santa Claus’ was like catching lightning in a bottle. We didn’t just want to make another holiday song — we wanted to crank up the energy, spark some magic, and bring that old-school Christmas feeling back with a punch. This track is pure joy and chaos wrapped in one, and I can’t wait for people to crank it loud this holiday season!” said Jacob.
Jacob continues to gain momentum from fans across the world. He recently earned praise from Forbes, Parade, and Saving Country Music, complimenting his undeniable piano-playing skills and raw musical ability, reinforcing his place as one of the most exciting emerging artists in the industry today.

rogressive rock group Little King returns with the official music video for “Who’s Illegal?”, a bold and musically daring single from their latest album ‘Lente Viviente,’ released this past September. Shot across Tucson, Arizona, the video echoes frontman Ryan Rosoff’s lyrical reflections on cultural intersections and the timeless question of who gets to belong. The track’s unusual blend of 6/8 and 9/8 time signatures, melodic bass, and suspended chords mirror the complexity of borders and belonging, while the visuals ground it all in real places and faces.
Rosoff explains the inspiration came from his time in Tucson: “After all this time and all the arbitrary assignment of this land to governments and warlords…Who’s Illegal?” That question pulses throughout the song and the album, which pulls no punches as it explores memory, addiction, identity, and resilience. New band members Dave Hamilton and Tony Bojorquez help fuel a sound Rosoff describes as “Musical DMT”—tracks that offer emotional intensity, shifting dynamics, and literary ambition. From the anthemic “Catch and Release” to the introspective “Pass Through Filters,” every song invites listeners on a micro-epic journey of thought and feeling.
British blues rocker Joanne Shaw Taylor sets the tone for the holidays with her new single “Irish Christmas In New York,” a warm and witty reflection on an unplanned but unforgettable Christmas. The song is out now via Journeyman Records and brings the listener into a cozy scene filled with laughter, music, and a little whiskey in an old Irish pub far from home.
Joanne explains, “My travel plans home to London for Christmas one year got canceled so I ended up going to New York City to spend the holidays with my best friend who was also unable to travel home to MI. We went to an old Irish pub on Christmas Eve in the village and what was meant to be a quick drink ended up with us spending two days there. We have always called it our Irish Christmas in New York and I thought writing a Christmas song would be a nice tribute to a lovely memory and the kind people that were willing to make us feel at home when we couldn’t be.”
The release adds a festive twist to what’s already been a landmark year for Joanne, fresh off the acclaim of her album ‘Black & Gold’ and one of the busiest tour runs of her career. Her lyrics in “Irish Christmas In New York” capture the scene vividly, from “There’s whiskey and laughter and hope and good cheer” to the pub-ready chorus noting “There’s Guinness and wine and maybe a fight.” She’s already gearing up for a packed 2026, with a UK and European tour launching January 25 and a full spring U.S. headline tour to follow, bringing her sharp vocals and fierce guitar playing to audiences across two continents.

11x Platinum-certified singer-songwriter Chase Rice has teamed up with Boot Barn and Cody James for an exclusive collaboration to showcase the new curated collection from Cody James Black 1978, an elevated line of men’s western wear within the Cody James brand.
Cody James is an industry-leading label in men’s western, country, and work wear, and its Cody James Black 1978 collection features an upscale assortment of handmade boots, handcrafted hats, and high-quality western pieces that blend the grit of the West with sleek Nashville style.
Chase Rice stars in the brand’s new winter campaign, shot in early November on Rice’s 153-acre farm and bison ranch in Franklin, Tennessee, known as Twin Eagles Creek Farm. In the campaign, Rice models a range of Cody James Black 1978 pieces, including classic cowboy boots, hats, denim, and outerwear.
“Cody James Black 1978 is an elevated collection of western-inspired country pieces that embody the spirit of the American West,” says Isha Nicole, SVP of Marketing and Creative at Boot Barn. “Chase Rice is the perfect partner for our collaboration, because he embodies that spirit of country pride. As well as being an incredibly talented country music artist, Chase Rice is an avid farmer, huntsman, and outdoorsman. He doesn’t just write and sing about a lifestyle rooted in the heartland—he truly lives it.”
Florida-born Chase Rice was raised on a farm in Asheville, North Carolina, where his love for hunting and deep-rooted country values first took shape. Rice has forged a lifelong admiration for the American West that defines who he is and the rugged storytelling in his music. Now fifteen years into a celebrated country music career, Rice’s enduring affinity for the West shines proudly through on his latest album, ELDORA, released in September. When he’s not on stage, Rice can be found working his land and raising bison on his Tennessee ranch, a passion he’s pursued since 2021.
“Partnering with Boot Barn and Cody James was a natural fit,” says Rice. “They want to share a piece of the American spirit with everyone, whether that’s through a pair of cowboy boots or supporting country music, so our values are a good match. Having the team shoot everything here on my farm was a great experience. This is the place where I draw so much inspiration for my music—it’s part of who I am— so getting to share that side of my life and that pride in country living was something special.”
The Cody James Black 1978 curated collection featuring Chase Rice is available online at codyjames.com and bootbarn.com, as well as in over 500 Boot Barn retail stores across the country.
