Rising US trio Temecula Road ticked off another milestone recently as they made their debut at the fables Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on November 1. The trio – made up of Dawson Anderson and Emma and Maddie Salute – performed their latest single Maybe Not on the famous circle stage, as well as their cover of Desperado by Eagles. Speaking after the performance, the trio were on a huge mental high and expressed their joy ands delight that they had been able to perform at the Opry. “Tonight has been a dream come true,” said Emma.  “We feel so very blessed,” added Maddie. “I am speechless and that doesn’t happen very often. What an amazing night,” Dawson stated. Recently, Temecula Road were in the UK and Europe supporting Scotty McCreery, which included dates in London, Manchester, Berlin and Cologne.

Kerri Watt has shared the latest track from her upcoming album in the form of Chasing Aeroplanes, also releasing a video for the track as well. You can watch the video below.

Speaking about the single, Watt explained that the lyrical nature of the track revolves around her conflict between moving forward with adult life or waiting to see if there is a plan in place first. “Chasing Aeroplanes is a stream of consciousness about my future and a conversation I’ve had with many girl friends about having kids and the next stage of life,” Watt said. “Do I have to have everything figured out first? What about my independence, my career? I’m sure I want to have a family one day, but until then I’m loving being young and free.” Earlier this year, Watt supported Keith Urban at his warm-up gig for C2C 2019 at O2 Kentish Town Forum in London and duetted with Urban that night for a rendition of The Fighter.

Ward Thomas have revealed that they will be on the road in the UK in April and May 2020, for what will be an intimate acoustic based tour. Tickets are available from 9am on November here. The twins had a very successful tour earlier this year, including a headline date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, but will be appearing in much smaller venues for this tour, with the emphasis being on more personal shows. Rather than have a huge production, it will just be a stripped back light as the sisters plan to make the music the main focus of the evening. The duo have also appeared at London’s two biggest indoor venues in The O2 Arena and Wembley Arena in 2019 for Brad Paisley and Jack Savoretti respectively, duetting on Whisky Lullaby with Paisley and a cover of Human by The Killers with Savoretti.
