If there was ever a perfect day to celebrate the release of Dolly Parton’s Cup of Ambition Coffee, it would be today, on National Coffee Day.

Dolly Parton’s Cup of Ambition Coffee, created in partnership with family-owned Community Coffee, is now available nationwide, giving fans another way to enjoy something inspired by the late country music icon. Plus, every cup of Cup of Ambition helps support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program founded by Parton to inspire a love of reading in children.

The collection first made its debut at Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, and now coffee lovers across the country can get their hands on Cup of Ambition. The coffee is available online at CupOfAmbition.com, CommunityCoffee.com and major online retailers including Amazon, Walmart and more.

“I thought the Cup of Ambition would be a fantastic name for a coffee brand, and I’ve been working towards this for over 40 years,” Dolly said during a June visit to Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop. “This is just one of those dreams that’s taken a little longer than I thought it might, but we’ve got it and it’s working. I can’t wait for you to try it. But I couldn’t be more happy with it. Community Coffee has been a fantastic partner for me and I like the way they think.”

There’s a roast for all coffee enthusiasts to enjoy, with Light, Medium and Dark Roast options to choose from. Ground coffee is available now, while K-Cup® pods are available for pre-order.

Before her passing, Dolly filmed three commercials for Cup of Ambition in July 2026, sharing in her own words what the coffee line meant to her. The first commercial was released today, on National Coffee Day.

And there’s more! The Cup of Ambition Sip & Sample Tour is hitting the road throughout the Southeast, complete with a Dolly Coffee Trolley and coffee carts.

Deadwood, South Dakota just got a whole lot more country thanks to Ian Munsick. Not only did the Wyoming native recently release his fourth studio album, The Mountain Goat, and wrap up his Western Road to The Mountain Goat Tour, he also just opened his brand-new country bar, Cowboy Bar & Western Grill, located inside The Landmark Hotel & Casino.

Fans showed up BIG for the grand opening, lining up over a two block stretch to check out the new space and take part in the weekend’s celebration, complete with sponsor activations from Schaefer Outfitter, Crown Royal and Coors, along with Drew Kirby from Townsquare delivering a live radio broadcast.

Several guest appearances took place Friday as Munsick’s friends and family took over the outdoor stage, including Philip Bowen, Ross Cooper, Ashland Craft, Kylie Frey, Jenna LaMaster, The Munsick Boys, Tyler Nance, Faren Rachels, Kellen Smith and Kasey Tyndall. The producers of The Mountain Goat album, Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson, also joined the stage for a special set, which included a surprise appearance from Ian Munsick.

“These guys have spent thousands of hours working on my music, and it’s an honor to have them as well as all of the other singer/songwriters that flew in from all over the country to be here.” Munsick shared. “Thank you guys for being here, and welcome to Ian Munsick’s Cowboy Bar & Western Grill!”

Ian also took a moment to address the fans, recognizing the lengths many of them went to just to be there. “Most importantly, thank you guys for being here. I know a lot of you drove hours and hours, or had to hop on airplanes, to be here. So thank you.”

Ian Munsick’s Cowboy Bar & Western Grill was a dream in the making for both him and his wife, Caroline. After years of hard work, that dream became a reality, and Ian proudly gave his wife plenty of credit for making it happen.

“She was here from the very beginning. And the Keatings too: Arden, Alec, Gerard. They really allowed us to come in here and just do our thing.” Ian said. “They have been a huge help, but Caroline… She told me the first time that we played the Red Dirt Fest at the Deadwood Mountain Grand five years ago, ‘We’re going to have our own bar here someday.’ And sure as shit, five years later here we are. Being able to watch my wife accomplish such an amazing feat in not a lot of time is pretty incredible.”

The more than 2,600-square-foot space inside The Landmark Hotel & Casino is filled with personal touches, including displays of Caroline and Ian’s first ACM Awards red carpet outfits designed by Manuel Cuevas, Western-inspired murals by Oglala Lakota and Mohawk Western artist Isaiah Stewart, and Munsick’s first Gold Record for “Long Live Cowgirls” with Cody Johnson.

While it is a bar with plenty of cold drinks and specialty cocktails, including Ian’s Filthy Martini and the Medicine Man, the “Grill” portion adds another layer of Munsick’s personal touch.  Recruiting Chef Aaron Richards to curate the menu delivers an array of good eats that appeal to both kids and adults. From the Wild Bill Sampler to Ian’s Smash Burger, there is plenty to dig into and something for everyone to enjoy.

Cowboy Bar & Western Grill also features two performance stages, one indoors and another outside, so there’s be plenty of live music available in Ian Munsick’s new place!

It goes without saying, Ian Munsick’s Cowboy Bar & Western Grill is a pretty solid reason to make a stop in Deadwood, South Dakota! To stay in the know on everything happening at Cowboy Bar & Western Grill, follow @IanMunsickCowboyBar on Instagram.

After two years and nearly 400,000 tickets at Sphere Las Vegas, Chesney is returning to his “stadium era” in 2027 with his Original Vibe Room Tour.

The 19 date stadium tour will kick off April 24 in Tampa at Raymond James Stadium and take Chesney across the country before wrapping up August 28 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

And honestly, with Kenny hitting the road next summer, it already feels like summer is going to be complete again. The country superstar has become such a staple of the summer concert season that it’s hard to imagine those warm months without a Kenny Chesney concert somewhere in the mix.

“When we started to talk about touring next year, all I could think about was how good those stadiums feel… how loud, how fast, how much energy comes hurling at us,” Chesney says of the decision to do an all-stadium tour. “I don’t think I knew how much I missed it. And when it hit me, as well watching comments on Instagram and Facebook, I realized: we should make next year be all about the stadiums. So, we did.”

The Original Vibe Room Tour is bringing together a pretty incredible lineup because, let’s face it, when it comes to putting an epic tour together, Kenny Chesney knows how to put the right pieces, or in this case artists, together.

Joining Chesney for the is longtime friend Eric Church, who previously toured with Chesney on the massive 2013 No Shoes Nation Tour. Add in singer, songwriter, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and nine-time GRAMMY winner Sheryl Crow and you’ve got yourself one heck of vibe!

“To make it really hit, I called Eric, who’d come out that first weekend in Vegas and sang a few with me, to see if he’d want to do this. He was in. Then to give fans a twist, something a little different, but someone who rocks and everyone in No Shoes Nation loves, I asked Sheryl Crow if she wanted to come play with us; and she said, ‘Yes.’ Suddenly, we’ve got all that high-powered energy, and it was starting to feel the same way we did way back in the day…”

The lineup doesn’t stop there. Fellow East Tennessee artist and songwriter Greylan James will join the tour as the opener.

While the past two years have found Chesney at Sphere Las Vegas, he’s ready to get back on the road, traveling the miles between states much like he did when he hit the road for his No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems Tour in 2002. That reflection eventually gave way to the name of the 2027 tour.

“It was such a rush,” Chesney recalls. “And this feels just like that. Three people who know each other, are friends and love to play taking it out on the road for the summer. That kind of camaraderie matches everything about what made me want to chase this dream in the first place, that adventure and fun defined us. For me, there was only one name: the Original Vibe Room Tour, because this time, with these people, I want everyone in the Vibe.”

“We started the Vibe Room in 2002 as a place for our people – the adults, guests, musicians – to come together, get a drink, hang out, meet up, maybe make some new friends. It was a fun place, and I feel like that’s what 2027’s gonna be all about. So what else would we call it?”

There’s a lot of exciting things going on for Chesney fans right now, especially as he’s gearing up for the release of his 21st studio album, Silver Sands Marina, on September 25. With new music just around the corner and a stadium tour to look forward to, No Shoes Nation has a lot to look forward to.

“It’s gonna be an amazing summer. I can’t believe we’re here again, and I can’t wait to get out there and start doing it” says Chesney. “The Original Vibe Room Tour 2027 is gonna be all the things, but especially a lot of fun, a lot of music and a lot of songs people have lived their lives to.”

“Get ready. We’re coming.” That’s all we need to hear from the man himself!

“These songs have taken on a life of their own over the years, and getting back onstage together really reminded me of that. Hearing the crowd sing every word and feeling that energy again was pretty incredible,” adds Brian Kelley. “We picked right back up where we left off, and there’s definitely something special about getting to do this again.”

Florida Georgia Line has amassed a huge following since their 2012 breakout, playing to more than four million fans over the course of their career. Now, the duo is back, and the love for Tyler and Brian is still going strong. We can’t wait to see and hear more of what’s ahead for FGL!

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, Worley is bringing the song that resonated with so many back in a powerful way with a new recording, giving listeners another opportunity to pause, remember and reflect on a day that forever changed our country.

The new version of “Have You Forgotten?” is set for release on Friday, September 11. Taking it a step even further, the artist is calling on radio stations across the country to come together and play the song at exactly 9:11 a.m. on September 11 for a nationwide moment of remembrance.

It’s hard to believe it has been 25 years, a quarter of a century since that horrific day. And here we are, with a song that delivers a message that still matters and remains just as strong as it was when it first came out in 2003.

“The song ‘Have You Forgotten?’ has become an authentic piece of American history that I believe will stand the test of time,” says Worley. “In my opinion, it may be more relevant now than it ever has been. It was never meant to be any kind of political statement. The song is a tribute written to honor those who serve. We hoped it would call attention to the intense sacrifices made by the amazing men and women of the U.S. military and our dedicated first responders across this great nation. We also created the song in remembrance of those lost in the carnage of 9/11. It is a simple reminder not to forget where we have been and what we’ve been through.”

Darryl Worley has teamed up with Big Machine Label Group for the release of the new version of “Have You Forgotten?”. Of the upcoming release, the label’s president Scott Borchetta shared, “We are honored to join with Darryl Worley to shine light on 25 years since our country was attacked with his amazing song, ‘Have You Forgotten?’. We will never forget and this song is the perfect reminder of how our country came together, indivisible, as Americans.” 

The new recording of ‘Have You Forgotten?’ will be available to stream and download on Friday, September 11.
