Rising Nashville based star Kassi Ashton has unveiled the video for her latest single Field Party, which marks her third single of 2019 so far. You can see the video below. [wpdevart_youtube]OUpfdcL7-Xg[/wpdevart_youtube] Much is expected from Ashton, who made her debut in the Nissan Stadium at CMA Fest 2019, in the country music world and 2019 has been a remarkably busy year for her, with a tour in America supporting Maren Morris to come in September. So far, Ashton has been drip feeding singles to the music world since her arrival on the scene and it is still unclear if she plans on releasing an EP or an album in the near future. Speaking about the video, Ashton explained that it was shot in real time and wanted a visual representation of people from all corners of the world and of all cultures to be shown as one celebrating and having fun. “We all celebrate the same,” Ashton said. “We all want to be with people we love, get loose without judgement and be happy. That’s what I wanted – the trippiest field party that anyone has ever seen, with people of all colours, styles, and backgrounds celebrating each other. So that’s what we did. “We actually had a party and filmed it. There was beer in my hair and the fun you see wasn’t staged. We might even do it again next year and invite y’all. My Queen Kristin Barlowe did it again.” The video was directed by Kirstin Barlowe, whom Ashton worked with when it came to the videos for Violins and Pretty Shiny Things – her two previous singles this year.

Chris Country listeners are set to enjoy a new voice in July as iHeartRadio’s Nashville-based multi-media personality Bobby Bones brings his top-rated, weekly Country Top 30 with Bobby Bones program to the station’s schedule. Every weekend on the Premiere Networks-syndicated program, Bones and his co-hosts Amy Brown and Lunchbox share conversations with country music’s hottest artists, while playing America’s biggest songs. The show is heard on more than 200 stations across the US and Canada, and is now “crossing the pond,” with Chris Country being the first station outside North America to add the weekly show to its lineup. Also joining Chris Country is Women of iHeartCountry, an hour-long weekend program hosted by Bones and Brown. Each week on the show, they spotlight music from both established female country music artists and promising up-and-comers. Also syndicated by Premiere Networks, the program airs on nearly 140 iHeartRadio stations in the US, in addition to stations in Canada. Bones said, “country music has never been more in demand and we’re excited to help share the music and stories coming out of Nashville with the UK fans every week.” Adding further comment, Brown said, “I couldn’t be happier that Chris Country will be sharing Women of iHeartCountry with UK listeners – it’s so important that stations support female artists and voices.” Chris Country’s new weekend schedule began on July 6 and also included new UK additions, including Scott Phillips, Mikey Faulkner and Liam Scott. Bob Kingsley’s Country Top 40 continues to be broadcast on Saturday mornings and the station, which launched in 2013, can be heard on DAB+ across much of the UK.
