Keeping the holiday tradition alive. The past few years, Bunnie Xo fans have anxiously awaited her annual Christmas video, like her naughty spin on Mariah Carey’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is To Be Screwed” or her offering from 2023 with the “12 Days of Rizzmas.” And this year, she decided to stick to one of the holiday classics – with, of course, some help from her husband Jelly Roll. Bunnie released her Christmas video yesterday, a “slightly mischievous” twist on “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer,” featuring comedian and TikTok star Matt Mathews. The video is full of hilarious moments from a dysfunctional family Christmas, including grandma popping Percocet at the dinner table and the kids flipping each other off as they’re passing the pie. But the best part of the entire video comes during the “attack,” when Jelly Roll makes his appearance as a grumpy Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer driving the sleigh that takes grandma out. The video then moves to the funeral, which includes grandpa making out with his cousin and the grandkids trying to steal money out of grandma’s purse in her casket – before cutting to Rudolph sitting in the back, who’s clearly amused at the whole scene. While dropping the video, Bunnie also shared some behind-the-scenes footage of Jelly Roll filming his reindeer scenes in front of a green screen, laughing at the fact that her Grammy-nominated husband was wearing a red nose and antlers for a music video. @xomgitsbunnie Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer ft. Matt Mathews – OUT NOW on YT: BunnieXo #jellyandbunnie ♬ original sound – Bunnie Xo Honestly, it’s just proof that no matter how famous you are, some things never change. When your wife asks you to dress up like a reindeer for a music video, you do it because you love her – even if you look like, as Bunnie pointed out, the grumpiest Rudolph of all time. While Jelly Roll may have been a grumpy reindeer, he and his wife both spent Thanksgiving playing Santa to their community and bringing some holiday spirit to those in need. Ahead of Thanksgiving, Jelly Roll returned to a place from his past, speaking to inmates at a correctional facility where he once did time. In addition to speaking with the current inmates, Jelly Roll also provided a meal to over 300 inmates and staff. Nashville Sheriff Daron Hall praised his generosity in a Facebook post: “Moments like this show the impact one person can make when they choose to lift others up. Thank you Jelly Roll for turning your past into purpose.”   And while Jelly Roll was doing good, giving back to the community over the holidays, his lovely bride, Bunnie Xo, was doing the same. Bunnie teamed up with The Mary Parish Center, a Nashville organization that helps women who are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, to give them a Thanksgiving meal. Teaming up with the Mary Parish Center was a very intentional choice for Bunnie Xo, who is a survivor of domestic assault. “Going through a relationship personally around 2013 to 2016, with my own domestic violence relationship, has just made this mission for myself even more of wanting to give back to the women and children that are going through this because I know how hard it is to get out.”  Bunnie shared that she hopes women can see her as a trusted point of contact, knowing she’s gone through a similar situation to theirs, and hopes to serve as a reminder that it does get better once you leave. “I shared that photo in the hopes that women can be like, ‘Okay, she’s been where I’m at, and she gets it.’ I want somebody to that I can relate to and I want these women to know I have been exactly where they are. And I just want to lift them up and make them feel so good and loved and know that they are doing the right thing.”  Bunnie Xo and her team provided Thanksgiving dinner fixings to the women of the Mary Parish Center and assembled care packages for women in transitional housing. View this post on Instagram She also went the extra mile and surprised the executive director, Mary Catherine, with a $25,000 donation to the center. That’s enough to warm even the grumpiest reindeer’s heart.The post Jelly Roll Stars As A Grumpy Reindeer In Bunnie Xo’s Annual Christmas Music Video first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Hittin’ the road. With names like Zach Bryan, The Red Clay Strays, Sturgill Simpson, Treaty Oak Revival, Eric Church and more being lauded for their electric performances night in and night out, there’s stiff competition in the genre. Throw in some more underrated names such as Silverada, Turnpike Troubadours and Sierra Ferrell, and the list gets even more complicated. Another name that should always be at the top of these rankings is none other than Charles Wesley Godwin, and luckily, after closing out 2025 on the road with Church on the Free the Machine Tour, he’s hitting the road again in 2026 on a short but sweet set of dates to begin the first half of the year. Just announced, Godwin and the Allegheny High will embark on the Christian Name Tour beginning in the spring. View this post on Instagram Interestingly, the tour will begin for Godwin and Co. with back-to-back nights on March 27th in Boise, Idaho, and Salt Lake City, Utah, as they wrap up their supporting role with the Turnpike Troubadours on their Wild America Tour, which recently got extended into 2026 last month. From there, Godwin will headline the likes of Little Rock, Arkansas, Oxford, Mississippi, Atlanta, Georgia, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, throughout the month of April with support from the severely underrated, Jason Scott & The High Heat. Finally, the Christian Name Tour will wrap up with two major festivals, first with Stagecoach at the end of April and finally with the star-studded, Under The Big Sky Festival, which is being headlined by Chris Stapleton, Cody Jinks and Zach Top. Presale for Godwin’s headlining dates starts next Thursday, December 11th at 10 a.m. CT with general sale beginning on Friday, December 12th at the same time. Additionally, if you sign up for a presale code on Godwin’s website, you’ll automatically be entered to win a free pair of tickets to the selected show. As one of the most talented bands in the entire genre, there’s no denying that Godwin and the Allegheny High put on one of the best live shows in the entire genre. Between the high energy tracks such as “Hardwood Floors,” “All Again” and “Another Leaf” to his tender ballads, “Willing and Able,” “Seneca Creek” and “Dance in Rain,” the West Virginia native has continually curated one of the most dynamic sets you’ll see live today. If he’s in your city, you won’t want to miss him.

Back with another heartbreaker. Since breaking out with his viral hit, “Straight and Narrow,” back in 2022, Sam Barber has been one of the premier artists in the ever-growing country-folk scene over the past few years. With one of the most unique, raspy voices in the genre, a knack for penning some moving, self-critical tracks and a style that sounds like a mix between early Zach Bryan and folk bands like The Lumineers, Barber has continued to impress from release to release. After dropping his debut album, Restless Mind, last year, which contained the certified-platinum smash hit with Avery Anna, “Indigo,” Barber followed that up with another stellar EP back in the summer, Music for the Soul. Released on August 1st, the EP contained seven songs, including the buzzy, pre-released track, “Man of the Year,” which has already racked up an impressive 43 million streams on Spotify alone. Recently, Barber has set his sights on 2026 back in October, not only plotting the extensive The American Route Tour, featuring Waylon Wyatt, Michael Marcagi and more but also signaling to fans that his highly-anticipated sophomore album is officially in the works and coming “early in the new year.” View this post on Instagram Since then, he’s also caught fire online once again with frequent collaborator and hot up-and-comer, Avery Anna, with the debut of their powerful new, unreleased song, “Fear In God,” which has been going viral on TikTok lately after multiple recent live performances. Not to be outdone, yesterday, Barber took to Instagram to share yet another brand new, unreleased track titled “Yellow Diamonds,” and it looks to be some of his best work to date lyrically. View this post on Instagram Though we only received what seems to be a few of the verses from the track, it’s hard to argue that this isn’t some of the most moving poetry we’ve received from the “Indigo” singer so far. Immediately setting the scene of an addict daughter haunted by the sins of her broken father, Barber lays down some beautifully-penned lines ranging from sharp imagery of rusted nails, wedding veils and dirty laundry to invoke a sense of apathy and longing while simultaneously bringing the central theme of addiction through with lines such as “Watch the world through tainted eyes” and “We’ve got it all but still need more.” Yellow diamonds framed by silence Silhouette of rich men lying Rail-thin daughter, broken father Blames it all on the needle that robbed her Coffee mugs and dirty laundry Open up but don’t be sorry Watch the world through tainted eyes And tell me that we’re not dead inside Rusted nails and wedding veils From disconnect to everything’s well Wooden doors and concrete floors We’ve got it all but still need more Fans would quickly take to the comments to praise Barber for the great lyricism on the track and plead for it to be released soon, with one comment saying what everyone was thinking, calling it “heartbreaking, raw and beautiful.” “Another loss for the deaf” “He never misses” “Generational” “Best country artist out right now” “Heartbreaking, raw and beautiful” “Release this gem!” As of now, “Yellow Diamonds” has no release date. However, it’s safe to assume it will be featured on Barber’s upcoming sophomore album slated to release early next year.

Can’t say I saw this collaboration coming, but man is it a heater. By this point, there’s a good chance you’ve probably heard Tyler Nance’s viral hit “Keeps Me Sane.” The insanely catchy and hard-driving tune released back in July by the Lamar, Missouri native quickly gained traction on social media, and then it spread like wildfire. Now, in less than six months, the tune has amassed over 75 million plays across streaming platforms, and there are no signs of that momentum slowing down. As good as the original version of “Keeps Me Sane” is, though, Nance brought in some outside talent to feature on a new version of the track, and it’s even better than the original. Released today, and accompanied by an awesome music video, the latest version features another fast-rising country act in The Castellows, who contribute vocals and killer harmonies. In a press release circulated by the team at Niche Media, Nance provided some context behind the decision to release another version, and touches on how great of an experience it was working with The Castellows to bring this one to life. “It was always a dream of mine to collaborate with another artist on a song. The way the original version took off blew my mind and I’m so excited that it paved the way for me to work with The Castellows. I was able to join them in the studio and we all filmed the official music video together. They’re super easygoing and kind – the entire process working with them has been something I’ll always remember. I’m just really grateful.” Check out the new music video for Tyler Nance’s hit “Keeps Me Sane” featuring The Castellows here: What a song. And there is plenty more where that came from. At 22 years old, Tyler Nance is just getting started, and his growing catalog of original music is already full of great music. Here are a couple of my favorites everyone needs to check out. “Shovel” “Whiskey Me or the Pain”  Rising to fame through social media in somewhat similar fashion to Nance, The Castellows are a spectacular trio of sisters who set the internet ablaze a few years back by posting covers on TikTok and Instagram. They have been around long enough to prove they are the real deal, though, and far from some sort of fleeting viral sensation. Here are a couple of recent originals they have released. “Sheltered” “Heartland” And if you like what you’ve heard from Tyler Nance and The Castellows, then you’re in luck. Both are touring heavily in the new year, with Nance supporting Ian Munsick for quite a few shows and The Castellows doing the same for Luke Combs across the pond in Europe. Between these high profile opening gigs, though, Nance and The Castellows are each scheduled to take the stage at several festivals and a handful of headlining gigs as well.

We all have to get our start somewhere. Just like many other musicians, Ella Langley has always dreamed of having a career in music. The Alabama native has been chasing this dream since a young age, releasing her first songs at 18. Langley has often said that making music is the only job she’s ever wanted, and it’s all she’s done in her career, solidifying to fans that this is her destiny. Ahead of the CMA Awards, Langley joked that she’s “addicted to the road.” “I literally am addicted to being on the road and playing shows. I’ve been on the roadmap every weekend since I was 18 years old, minus COVID. I’m obsessed with it.” Which is a funny statement, but it is a good thing. It rings true because the touring life is not for everyone. It’s a lot of long nights, time away from loved ones, and it takes a toll on your body. However, Langley knew this was the life she wanted, and she has made her dreams come true. While the “Choosin’ Texas” singer might be singing in front of sold-out crowds every night now, her music career started off like many others, singing for a room filled with just a few bodies. It’s always fun to hear how artists got into performing, whether it was Lainey Wilson, who was a Hannah Montana impersonator for years, or even just singing down at the local theater for a few people who stumbled in; everyone had to get on the stage somehow. However, in Ella Langley’s case, her starting stage looked a little different than others…and in fact, she dealt with a pretty tough crowd in the early days of her singing career. “I kind of say my first concert ever was for cows. Yeah, that’s where I got my start, I guess.” Langley said during a conversation with Chase Sapphire Reserve. “We live with a big pasture behind our house. I would steal my brother’s iPod, climb to the top of the barn, and just perform… When ‘moo’ sounds very close to ‘boo’, it toughens a girl up.” HA. Hey… everyone’s got to get some performance experience somehow, right? While I am sure a field full of “boo” sounding “moos” did get Langley to grow some tough skin, at least this audience couldn’t throw tomatoes at her if they didn’t like the performance. The cows must not have given her too much childhood trauma because Langley purchased a home in her hometown of Hope Hull, Alabama, earlier this year. Langley shared with Katie Neal from Audacy’s Katie & Company that this was her first major purchase since blowing up, and that being close to her home and family always keeps her grounded. “It just brings me back to who I am at the root of me every time I go back there. And when it comes to writing songs and being in that state of mind, I think it’s important to have a place like that.” While Langley admitted that she will always have a residence in Tennessee, too, given that she’s only a short car drive from her home state, she feels it’s essential to keep some roots there as well. “I think I’ll always have to live in Tennessee to some extent in my life, but being from Alabama, it’s so close. It’s under four hours to get there.” Home is where the cows you sang to reside. Ella Langley has come a long way from those days, but she will never forget the c(r)ow(d) that gave her the confidence to sing in front of people. Fire up Langley’s latest number one single while you’re here, “Choosin’ Texas.” The post “Moo Sounds Very Close To ‘Boo’, It Toughens A Girl Up” – Ella Langley Recalls Performing For A Pasture Of Cows As A Young Girl first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Stephen A. Smith euphorically praised President Trump for pardoning Henry Cuellar, calling it ‘brilliant’ and saying that Trump is ‘shrewd as hell’ in how he approaches politics. He says “school is in . . .
