Bruce Springsteen was born to rock.But even a certified rock god like the Boss is rolling into country territory now: This week his “Sandpaper” duet with Zach Bryan marks the first time that Springsteen has ever appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since the New Jersey legend first greeted us from Asbury Park, N.J. on his debut album way back in 1973.And not only does Springsteen hit No. 26 on the Hot Country Songs chart with his genre — and generation-crossing collaboration from Bryan’s new album, “The Great American Bar Scene,” but he scores his first appearance on the overall Hot 100 tally since 2009.Forty years after “Born in the USA,” the man has been revived at the ripe old age of 74.And the No.

Morgan Wallen just announced he’s returning to the city he grew up in for a one-night-only concert at Neyland Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 22 with special guests ERNEST and Hardy as part of his ongoing, international ‘One Night At At Time Tour.’“I’ve had the honor of playing in a lot of college, MLB and NFL stadiums the past two years, but getting to play to my hometown at Neyland Stadium, nothing tops this for a boy from East Tennessee,” Wallen shared in a press release.In addition to this special gig, Wallen has 12 other shows remaining on his 2024 tour schedule including stops at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium (July 25-26), Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium (Aug.

Zach Bryan dropped his fifth studio album “The Great American Bar Scene.”What makes this release remarkable is twofold.First, the 19-track record hit shelves just ten months (!) after the 28-year-old singer put out his self-titled album “Zach Bryan.” Secondly, it should also be noted that the busy country singer has been tirelessly playing sold-out concerts at arenas, stadiums and festivals all over North America on his ‘The Quittin’ Time Tour’ this past year.Given the quick turnaround, one might be led to believe “The Great American Bar Scene” would be a bit of a letdown given how quickly it came together and how little free time Bryan has on his hands.Thankfully, that’s not the case.“It’s got Zach’s signature sound but also has signs of growth through his lyrics and at times songs that feel like he’s paying homage to other esteemed musicians like Jason Isbell and Bruce Springsteen,” author and noted Zach Bryan super-fan Clayton Porter said.“Don’t let anyone add class to it, it’s one hardworking great American album, enough said.”If you want to hear the debut these new songs on the road, tickets are available for all 39 upcoming ‘Quittin’ Time Tour’ concerts from now until December.That includes his final two gigs at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday, Dec. 18 and Thursday, Dec.

Luke Combs released a new album in June and is currently midway through his nationwide ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old Tour.’The unconventional trek, which will see him perform back-to-back shows at stadiums all over the country, includes a pair of gigs at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20.“I wanted each show to have (its) own unique set up of openers, as well as my own unique setlist,” Combs shared in a statement after announcing the tour in August 2023.“I thought this would give people an opportunity to come to both nights if they want, but see two completely different shows.”On Friday nights, special guests like The Avett Brothers, Cody Jinks, Charles Wesley Godwin, Hailey Whitters and The Wilder Blue will join him.Jordan Davis, Mitchell Tenpenny, Drew Parker and Colby Acuff are his rotating Saturday night opening acts.“…I wanted to open up my stage to acts that lean into Outlaw, Americana and Red Dirt on Friday nights, (and have) a night with (performers) who are more contemporary country (on Saturdays),” he added.As of now, tickets are available for all remaining ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old’ concerts.At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on any single-day tickets was $47 before fees on Vivid Seats.Two-day passes start at $100 before fees.Curious how much it will cost to see Combs at the concert venue closest to you?You’re in the right place, Bootleggers.We’ve got everything you need to know and more about Luke Combs’ 2024 ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old Tour’ below.All prices listed above are the subject of fluctuation.A complete calendar including all ‘Growing Up and Getting Old Tour’ dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below.(Note: The New

Lee Greenwood is prepping for his busy season.The singer-songwriter will celebrate the 40th anniversary of his iconic anthem “God Bless the USA” – a love letter to the country – and at 81 years old, he has no plans to slow down.“We always joked, if I’m not singing somewhere on the Fourth of July, you might as well take the flag down,” Greenwood told The Post from a recording studio in Nashville ahead of his summer tour.Greenwood wrote his now-ubiquitous tearjerker – considered “the most recognized patriotic anthem in America,” with lyrics that include, “And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free” – after “feeling inspired” on the back of a tour bus some 40 years ago. But he never thought it would take off the way it has.He’s earned the admiration of millions of Americans for the heart-rending tune, which he sang in front of then-President Ronald Reagan at the 1984 Republican National Convention.
