Next up, Luke Bryan announced his farm tour dates this week! He'll be joined by Chase Rice, Jon Langston, The Peach Pickers and DJ Rock.
We are thinking of Lauren Alaina this week.. she had to cancel two shows because of a "family medical emergency." We know that her step-father has been battling with stage 4 cancer, so Lauren we are praying for you!
And our very own Bobby Bones is launching the Women of iHeartCountry show this weekend. One full hour of all female country music stars on over 125 stations. We can't wait.
