Liam Price Launches New EP ‘The Grass Ain’t Green’

Rising UK country artist Liam Price has officially released his brand-new EP, “The Grass Ain’t Green”, available now on all streaming platforms.

Known for his authentic storytelling and heartfelt delivery, Price has been steadily carving out his place in the UK country scene. His journey has been amplified by ties to Luke Combs UK, with the rising star gaining early recognition and endorsement from Combs himself, one of country music’s biggest names. While the nod has been invaluable in opening doors, “The Grass Ain’t Green” firmly shifts the spotlight back to Price’s own original voice.

The EP showcases a blend of modern country production and timeless songwriting. Across the tracks, Price explores themes of love, loss, and resilience with a raw honesty that resonates deeply. From the soulful title track to the foot-stomping anthems that round out the project, the collection highlights his versatility and knack for connection through music.

“This record is about being real with yourself,” says Price. “It’s about growth, about realising that sometimes what you thought you wanted isn’t always what’s best. The grass isn’t always greener—but there’s strength in learning that.”

With a rapidly growing fanbase and live performances that leave lasting impressions, Liam Price is quickly proving himself to be more than just one to watch—he’s one to listen to. “The Grass Ain’t Green” marks a bold step forward, establishing him as a distinctive new voice in UK country music.

“The Grass Ain’t Green” is available now on all major platforms.

First Time Flyers Release ‘Primadonna’ Single

UK Country sensations First Time Flyers released their brand new single ‘Primadonna’ on Aug 22nd.

The song has been a fan favourite in their live shows for a while now. “It seemed like the obvious choice as the single we release before our debut album Bound To Break comes out in September”, explains Poppy from the band.

The song was written about someone they met in the music industry, prompting the observation that everyone has a bit of Primadonna in them!

“We’ve been asked many times to say who the song is about” reveals Vicki. “Maybe we will if our album goes top 10” she jokes.

Released on August 22nd to coincide with the band’s three performances over the weekend at Long Road Festival, Tim from the band says, ‘I think we enjoy playing the song as much as the fans enjoy hearing it’.

‘I know you shouldn’t have a favourite child’, says Jake, a new father himself, ‘but we do quite like this one!’

The band are fully immersed in festival season right now as they head towards the release of their debut album ‘Bound To Break’ on Sept 12th and their biggest tour to date which starts on Sept 17th in Manchester.

Kashus Culpepper Announces Fall 2025 Tour

Rising country-Americana artist Kashus Culpepper has announced a headlining tour across the United States this fall, capping off what has already been a landmark year.

The Alabama-born singer-songwriter, hailed by GRAMMY.com as one of 2025’s “Artists to Watch” and recently featured in Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood Impact Report, will bring his soulful Southern sound to venues in Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Texas beginning November 6.

Culpepper, who has drawn comparisons to Bill Withers “if he made country music,” according to Elton John, has been steadily building momentum with performances alongside Leon Bridges, Whiskey Myers and Sierra Ferrell. He made his national television debut earlier this year on CBS Saturday Morning, and his single “Broken Wing Bird,” featuring Ferrell, has earned strong praise from critics and fans alike. His upcoming single, “Believe,” is due out on August 22, the same day general ticket sales for the tour begin.

In little more than a year since launching his recording career, Culpepper has emerged as one of the most talked-about new voices in country music. His husky vocals and raw storytelling have seen him sell out headline shows across the South, win a place on Apple Music’s and Amazon Music’s Artists to Watch lists, and join the Opry NextStage Class of 2025. He has also made high-profile festival appearances, including Stagecoach, C2C in London and Tortuga.

The fall tour marks Culpepper’s first extended headlining run and will give fans across the country the chance to hear his blend of country, soul, blues and folk live. Tickets go on pre-sale August 20, with general on-sale beginning August 22 via his official website.
