Arguably the hardest-working artists in the genre. It’s not often you see an artist, duo or group release two separate albums in a single year, but that’s exactly what Muscadine Bloodline did in 2025. In addition to their follow-up to 2024’s The Coastal Plain, April’s …And What Was Left Behind, recently, the Alabama duo added to their fast-growing discography with the surprise release of Longleaf Lo-Fi, a stripped back acoustic album. Undeniably, it would already be impressive to produce two albums in the same year that are as good as the aforementioned …And What Was Left Behind and Longleaf Lo-Fi. With that being said, however, it becomes even more impressive when you look at just how busy the duo, comprised of Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton, truly were throughout the entirety of 2025. With the year slowly winding to a close and Thanksgiving being just one day away, it’s clear that Muscadine are feeling a whole bunch of gratitude for the huge year they’ve had this year. After setting the stage for the early parts of 2026 with the announcement of their Longleaf Lo-Fi acoustic tour last week, yesterday, they took to Instagram to reflect on all the major career accomplishments they’ve garnered throughout 2025 while simultaneously giving fans an update on even more new music coming soon. View this post on Instagram In a simple post straight from the notes app, Muscadine would begin by noting that they played their final show of 2025 this past Sunday in St. Petersburg, Florida, before reflecting on the fact that they themselves had been too caught up in the whirlwind of tour life to truly process everything throughout the year. “We played our last show of the year on Sunday. When you’re in the thick of it, you don’t realize it and here’s what we got to do in 2025…” In the second slide, they’d note all the touring accomplishments that include but aren’t limited to the following: their largest headline tour to date, a sold-out headlining show at Billy Bob’s Texas to a crowd of over 5,000, their first-ever headlining gig at an amphitheater at Sand Mountain Amphitheater in Albertville, Alabama, playing in Canada for the first time, performing at Red Rocks in support of reigning CMA Group of the Year, The Red Clay Strays, and, of course, supporting Lainey Wilson on her highly-successful Whirlwind Tour and performing at the iconic Madison Square Garden with her back in October. Before sharing a recap of some of the best moments of the year, which included the aforementioned Billy Bob’s show, Red Rocks nod and their appearance with Wilson at MSG, Muscadine would take a minute to thank both the fans and their road crew for all the support throughout the year. “Can’t thank y’all enough for the support this touring year and we couldn’t do it without our road family.” They’d also indicate that they are already planning to head back to the studio to work on even MORE new music heading into 2026, noting they’re returning after Thanksgiving to work on their seventh studio album, less than a month after the release of Longleaf Lo-fi. “After thanksgiving, we’re getting back in the studio next week to work on the next record. See y’all on the road in 2026!” Though they’d give no information surrounding the title or timeframe of the next album, it’s safe to say that it’ll be yet another killer outing from the duo arriving at some point in 2026. And of course, the incredibly rapid (and quality) releases once again show that Muscadine is not only one of the hardest-working duos in the genre but ultimately one of the best, even if award shows such as the CMAs continue to snub them year after year.

Same, Luke… same. On Monday night, Luke Combs appeared on ESPN’s alternative ManningCast broadcast with Peyton and Eli Manning, which started in 2021 on ESPN2, and has been a big hit among football fans. Luke is a huge Panthers fan, and seeing as the Carolina Panthers and San Francisco 49ers were facing off on Monday Night Football, he was the perfect guest for the show (I don’t want to talk about the end result of the game). And of course, considering what Peyton did to the Panthers during Super Bowl 50 in February of 2016, Luke had to bring up the fact that Peyton crushed his childhood “hopes an dreams” when the Denver Broncos beat the Panthers 24-10. I think their win had more to do with Von Miller having Cam Newton’s number all night, but I digress… Luke explained that he confronted Peyton about it the first time he met him, and he recalled “crying” in his Nashville apartment watching the game after rushing back from a gig in Alabama to be back in time for kickoff: “…The chance to be first in the division, that’s somewhere we haven’t been since 2016, maybe. When Peyton crushed us in the Super Bowl. So that’s really great. Yeah, I mean, I told him the first time we met, I’m like, ‘Hey, man. I just hope you know that you crushed my dreams as a child. So you’ve met a child you have impacted and crushed their hopes and dreams directly… I know you never thought we would meet.’ I was crying in my apartment in Nashville this particular night. I remember, we hammered down from a gig in Alabama to get home so that we would make kickoff for the game, and the first drive, I was like, ‘Well, that’s it.'” It is a bit traumatic for me too, and Peyton took the chance to rub it in, showing off some of his Super Bowl 50 memorabilia: “I’m in Knoxville right now, they actually have my uniform from that game in this room where I’m doing this show. I probably won’t show you that… look at these cleats, you can see the confetti on the cleats, Luke. That’s the actual confetti. So, sorry to bring that up.” Luke responded: “Only hurts a lot, Peyton. It only hurts a lot. It’s good, man, I’m glad you have all that stuff, I’m glad you have all those great memories. I’ve got nothing here. I’ve got no rings, no memories, but I’m glad you’re there in the shrine in Knoxville, that’s lovely, you know. That’s lovely.” The wound is still a little tender… Eli joked how weird it was that Peyton had all that stuff in his bedroom, and Luke told them that he’s actually been on a mission to meet all of the players who made his childhood miserable when it comes to NFL football, and he’s already got Peyton, as well as former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, off the list. He says Tom Brady is the last one, who led the New England Patriots to victory over the Panthers in 2004 by a score of 32-29 with a last-second field goal from Adam Vinatieri, and if you remember some of the accusations about the Patriots following that game than you know my opinion on it, but I need Luke to confront Tom face to face on behalf of all of us Panthers fans who are still salty about it: “It’s finny, I’m on a lifelong mission to meet all the players that broke my heart over the years. Peyton was the first, I got to meet Drew Brees at Stagecoach this year and tell him he ruined my childhood as well. Now I’m just waiting to met Tom Brady and tell him that he also ruined my childhood by beating us in the Super Bowl, so I’ve got really two out of the three guys that were constant source of sadness throughout my Panthers fandom… if you guys could maybe facilitate me meeting Tom and telling him how much he ruined my childhood as well, that would be real nice.” Luke was a great guest for this edition of ManningCast, and he’s a real ride or die, and I certainly appreciate that about him… there’s always next season, Luke. You can watch some of the highlights from his appearance on the ManningCast below. The post Luke Combs Reveals How Peyton Manning Made Him Cry: “It Only Hurts… A Lot” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Washington DC’s Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term, she announced on social media Tuesday afternoon.  “It was time for me to pass the baton on to the next set of leaders who are going to take our city to the next level,” she told NBC News in an interview the same day. Bowser has been the mayor of Washington DC since 2015. Her tenure saw the city hit multidecade highs in major crimes, including murders and carjackings, although violent crime has declined significantly since its peak in 2023.  Bowser also struggled to find a politically acceptable response to President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants and reduce crime in DC by surging in National Guard troops. She has largely cooperated with the president and spoken well of the troops’ effects on the city’s safety. She managed to maintain DC’s status as a sanctuary city during Trump’s first term, but backed down this year after he threatened to revoke the capital’s home rule if the DC police did not cooperate with ICE officers on deportations.  “I think I could be a four-term mayor,” Bowser told reporters, “but I think most Washingtonians, they don’t, they aren’t, they don’t kind of approach the future with fear of that. So, I think they are confident in their decision to select the right mayor.” The post DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Declines to Seek Reelection appeared first on The American Conservative.
