The year 2024 was monumental for Cali Tucker. Described by People magazine as a “blend of sweet and sassy…addictive” during the exclusive premiere of her video for “Country Couture” in July, Cali has seen her artist profile skyrocket. Her solo recordings have amassed over one million streams on Spotify and over 250,000 views on YouTube.

Born into Country music royalty, Cali carries on the Tucker Dynasty, with her mother being ’70s hitmaker LaCosta Tucker and her aunt the legendary Tanya Tucker. Cali has appeared on national television shows and performed live with her family across the US and Canada. At fifteen, she won the prestigious national title of Miss Teen All American. She graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry at eighteen and entertained audiences at Dollywood.

Cali’s career surged when she was featured on NBC’s “The Voice,” becoming a finalist on Blake Shelton’s team. Since then, she has established herself as a headlining act in Las Vegas, performing at top venues including Aria, The Wynn, MGM Grand, and Resorts World, among many others. Her live performances captivate audiences with her powerful voice, stunning looks, humor, and impeccable showmanship.

Cali’s breakout song, “Country Couture,” epitomizes her brand. The single and its infectious music video, which has garnered significant attention, showcase designer labels and a luxury lifestyle while highlighting Cali’s down-to-earth personality. The song received a limited release to radio last July and has since been streamed over 600,000 times while continuing to gain traction across music and video platforms. The song was co-written by Cali with multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated producer G’harah “PK” Degeddingseze and multi-platinum writer and vocal producer, Tricia Battani.

Looking ahead to 2025, Cali has several exciting projects on the horizon. In addition to the release of “Country Couture” to worldwide radio and video outlets, she has a new single and video, “Last Name,” her fourth collaboration with Battani and Degeddingseze, which promises to deliver something unexpected yet true to her style. There’s a new Tucker in town and you’re gonna be hearing a LOT more from her!

The new focus single from Keith Urban’s ARIA Top 5 album ‘HIGH’ is ‘HEART LIKE A HOMETOWN’.

Keith talks ‘HEART LIKE A HOMETOWN’: “When I was a kid our family moved around a lot. By the 5th grade I’d been in four schools and lived in nine different houses. So, a ‘hometown’ felt more about family and a place inside of me, somewhere I could find my center. It’s a theme that’s always spoken to me. Songs like Don Williams “If Hollywood Don’t Need You” and Glen Campbell’s “Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in LA)” and a I recorded on my ‘FUSE’ album, “Come Back To Me”. Those songs and this one all share a similar feeling – a kind of grounded safety, familiarity and a place where I can always find ME.”

Lyn Bowtell slices through with Paper Cut.

Multi Award-winning Australian country music sensation Lyn Bowtell has unveiled her latest single, ‘Paper Cut’, a poignant track that explores the pain of fractured relationships, both romantic and platonic.

The idea for ‘Paper Cut’ came to Lyn after receiving an actual paper cut while doing admin.

“When it happened, I thought to myself, ‘It won’t kill me; it’s just a paper cut,’ then that thought suggested a connection with my experiences of relationship breakdowns,” Lyn explained.

“The sense of loss when a relationship ends, whether it be creative, friendship or romantic, can linger. Sometimes, even a small reminder brings the pain back. It’s as much a heart wound, as it is a physical one. It was one of those quick song writes that are a blessing: that arrive swiftly, almost fully formed.”

The single features the vocal harmonies of country music icon Kasey Chambers, who fell in love with the track after hearing Lyn perform it during a SHE Songwriting Retreat.

“Kasey’s harmonies add a real depth,” Lyn said.

“She captured the raw, broken-hearted emotion perfectly, reminiscent of an Emmylou Harris classic.”

Adding to the song’s timeless appeal is Kasey’s father, Bill Chambers, whose slide guitar work lends a rich, vintage country feel.

“Having Bill involved was the icing on the cake,” Lyn said.

“His contributions are a heartfelt nod to legends like Patsy Cline and George Jones who shaped my love for country music.”

‘Paper Cut’ also symbolises Lyn’s growth both personally and professionally. The 10-time Golden Guitar winner has entrusted herself even further with the recording of her upcoming album, stepping into the producer’s chair for the first time alongside partner, Damon Morton.

Her ongoing work with SHE Songwriting Retreats – a passion project encouraging and empowering women songwriters, has also influenced the themes of the track.

“This song’s message is about trusting your instincts,” Lyn said.

“If something feels wrong, step away, take a moment, and prioritise yourself.”

Lyn describes ‘Paper Cut’ as an “instant classic”, rooted in the simplicity and purity of traditional country music.

“This track reflects where I come from – Queensland country music clubs and my mum’s cherished record collection,” she said.

“There’s a beauty in the simplicity of those songs, and that’s what I’ve tried to re-create here.”

‘Paper Cut’ will debut live at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, with Lyn hosting Lyn Bowtell and Her Famous Friends at the Longyard Hotel on January 26.

With 163k TikTok followers, 12M+ likes, and over 47 viral videos (12 surpassing 1M views), Mitchell has built a devoted fanbase through his heartfelt covers, comedic takes on country music, and authentic storytelling.

As an independent artist, he has shown an incredible ability to activate his fanbase and sustain momentum through innovative campaigns. His sound and story appeal to both younger TikTok-savvy listeners and traditional country fans.

About the Song:

Drink A Beer is a country anthem with singer-songwriter vibes and modern production. It all started as a playful TikTok video where Mitchell jokingly made up lyrics for a “pop-country song,” which unexpectedly went viral, racking up 1.3M views. From there, he leaned into the momentum, wrote the first verse and chorus, and performed an acoustic version that hit even more, gaining 1.9M views.

Mitchell didn’t just stop at producing the song-he made sure fans were a part of the process. Before recording the track, he launched an Open Verse Challenge on TikTok, inspiring hundreds of fans to jump in, many of them going viral themselves. Then, he took things a step further by hosting a live event at a bar he used to play at, where a 200+ person community choir sang backup vocals for the final recording. It doesn’t get much more authentic than that.

Now, with the official produced version teased, the song’s campaign has already pulled in over 4.5M views across six promotional videos, proving just how much it’s resonating with fans. Drink A Beer isn’t just a song-it’s a shared experience that is bringing people together in a way that feels fresh and real.
