The List for Wednesday, May 11th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Starting to feel a little more summertime and a lot less springtime…before you know it we’ll be singing along with Thomas Rhett’s hit song “Slow Down Summer”. Not trying to rush anything but how did that song come about?  “We were on a trip to Montana, and we were sitting in this house just staring out into this field and we noticed that the leaves were changing, and it was getting cooler outside. I was like, man I wish summer would just slow down.” Thomas’s ‘Bring the Bar To You Tour’ with opening acts Parker Mccollum and Conner Smith is on the road and will be in Moline. IL October 13^th. But if you can’t wait that long you can ALWAYS head to Nashville and the CMA Music Festival this summer.

Hockey fan Dierks Bentley had an amazing moment this week when the NHL’s Stanley Cup happened to drop by for a visit to his house. Dierks not only got to experience this – but he got to introduce the cup to his daughters Evie, and Jordan…and his very surprised son, Knox. The beers might be on Dierks Bentley, Breland and Hardy – but we don’t think they’ll be drinking them out of the Stanley Cup.

Miranda Lambert and Elle King are going to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night on NBC…If you’ve seen Keith Urban on stage you may have noticed how HARD he works…well he says it’s because he still feels he has to prove himself doing whatever it takes to get the crowd going.
