August 12, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Lainey Wilson is entering Bell Bottom Country.

The hit singer has announced that her sophomore album, Bell Bottom Country, will be released October 28. Described as a blend of country, ’70s rock, soul and funk, the album features current single “Heart Like a Truck” and newly released track “Watermelon Moonshine.”

She also penned a tribute to her father, Brian, with “Those Boots (Deddy’s Song).” The singer has shared on social media that her father has recently been experiencing some health issues.

“I’ve lived quite a bit of life the past few years, and I have a lot more to say. Sure, I love a good pair of bell bottoms, but Bell Bottom Country to me has always been about the flare and what makes someone unique — I have really embraced mine, and I hope y’all can hear that across this project,” Lainey says in a statement.

Bell Bottom Country follows her 2021 debut album, Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin,’ that included her first #1 hit, “Things a Man Oughta Know.”

“People are always asking me about my leg workouts and my actual leg workouts are coming to the Fit52 app. We’ve adapted them so they can work for any fitness level,” she explains, adding that they’ll be available “really soon.”

Second episode of ‘My Life as a Rolling Stone’ docuseries, focusing on Keith Richards, premieres Sunday

August 12, 2022 by WDNY Radio

The second episode of the new four-part Rolling Stones docuseries My Life as a Rolling Stone premieres on EPIX this Sunday, August 14, at 9 p.m. ET.

The new installment focuses specifically on Keith Richards, looking at how important the founding Stones guitarist’s passion for music has been to the band, and how his bad boy and rebellious image has played such a major role in the group’s legend.

In a preview clip, Richards talks about how important he feels it is for a song to have a good guitar intro.

“[I]f an intro can grab you, you’re gonna to be in for at least a few more minutes,” he notes. “And if the riff behind that intro grabs you then, then you pretty much got ’em.”

Richards also discusses the unique way he devised of setting up his guitar, which entails removing the low E string and tuning the remaining five strings to a G chord.

He explains about the sound of the specially tuned guitar, “There is something about the intonation of the notes, the separation at the point — I would say almost mystical — that when hit in the right way, in the right moment, you know, [it’s a] cheap ride to heaven.”

As previously reported, the series, which was produced to coincide with the British rock legends’ 60th anniversary, is made up of four hour-long episodes, each focusing on a different band member. Last week’s premiere episode profiled singer Mick Jagger, while the final two installments will look at longtime guitarist Ronnie Wood and late drummer Charlie Watts, respectively.

In addition to new conversations with Jagger, Richards and Wood, My Life as a Rolling Stone features new interviews with a variety of other noteworthy music artists.

Joe Jonas reveals how he balances his career and family life

August 12, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Joe Jonas not only has a busy singing and entrepreneurial career — he recently welcomed his second child with wife Sophie Turner. So how does the “Cake By the Ocean” singer balance his family and professional lives?

“It’s an adjustment period,” Joe told People in a new interview. “Just something that I’m learning as I go, I think I can now work a little bit harder to take time off. I’m still trying to figure it out.”

In addition to managing a family of four, Joe holds down two bands — DNCE and, of course, the Jonas Brothers — and has started pursuing acting with the upcoming Korean War drama Devotion. The singer also partnered with the canned mimosa company Ohza and has been crowned the new spokesman for corrective lenses company STAAR Surgical.

That in mind, Joe explained that he isn’t exhausted by his full plate. In fact, he finds it fulfilling. “Some weeks are a little bit more challenging than others, but it makes it a lot easier when you enjoy your gig,” he said. “I wake up every day just thrilled to be able to go make music or act and create different projects and have a beautiful family, so it feels like a dream come true.”

He also said it’s “very freeing” to set his own schedule to pursue his passions.

Joe noted moving to Miami has allowed for life to be more manageable. “We went to come visit and we just loved it. I saw a whole different side of Miami that I’ve never experienced — really quiet areas, and the food’s amazing. I feel like it’s the best-kept secret,” he said. “It’s not far from Europe and it’s not far from New York. My parents live in North Carolina, so they’re a lot closer.”

‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ star MeKai Curtis talks “explosive” second season

August 12, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Power Book III: Raising Kanan returns to Starz with season two on Sunday, and fans are in for one wild ride.

After leaving fans with more than a few unanswered questions — like will Kanan get caught for shooting an officer and is that officer his real father — season two finds the Thomas family beginning to face the aftermath of their actions. MeKai Curtis, who stars in the titular role of Kanan, tells ABC Audio that his character is on the hunt for answers when he returns to the screen.

“He’s very weary of everything around. He wants more answers to questions that he has. And he’s going to get those answers. You know, he’s very strong and determined, just like his mother,” Curtis explains, referencing Tony Award winner Patina Miller, who portrays Kanan’s mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas, in the series.

“A lot of the just the way that Raq has raised him, you see that come to play in second season, you know, for better or worse,” Curtis adds. “It’s actually it’s pretty fun to see how that plays out with them but that’s the sort of space that Kanan is in in the second season…trying to figure out who he is after being who he thought he wanted to be.”

Kanan’s hunt for answers is just part of what makes for a wild season ahead — a season that Curtis and Miller describe in four words: “Explosive, revealing, emotional…and complicated.”

Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which has already been renewed for season three, also stars Omar Epps, London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Joey Bada$$, Hailey Kilgore, Shanley Caswell and Antonio Ortiz.

After three years of marriage, Michelle Branch and husband Patrick Carney are separating

August 12, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Michelle Branch is gearing up to release her new album The Trouble with Fever, which she made with her husband, Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. But now it appears their music will outlast their relationship.

In a statement to People, Michelle says she and Carney are separating after three years. “To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family,” Michelle says.

“The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward,” she adds. “With such small children, I ask for privacy and kindness.”

According to People, on Wednesday night, Michelle had tweeted and then deleted a note in which she accused Carney of cheating on her while she was home with their six-month-old daughter, Willie. The couple also shares a four-year-old son, Rhys. Michelle has a 17-year-old daughter, Owen, from her first marriage.

Michelle and Carney wed in New Orleans in April of 2019.

August 12, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Kane Brown is expanding his palate.

The country singer is stepping into the beverage world as the chief flavor officer for Dewey Crush, a canned cocktail company.

The collaboration comes after Kane was introduced to Dewey Crush by wife Katelyn‘s family while spending time with them on Chesapeake Bay. His favorite flavor is Orange Crush, a concoction of triple sec, orange juice, vodka, sweet orange liqueur and a splash of lemon-lime soda on top.

Since being introduced to the cocktail in a can, Kane says it’s his “go-to beverage, period.”

“To have the opportunity to team up with Dewey Crush and bring not only the drink, but the idea of summer fun, to Tennessee and on tour year-round, seemed like an easy decision to make,” the singer adds in a statement. “Dewey Crush has been a hit with my friends at every stop on tour and is definitely my band’s new favorite drink!”

Dewey Crush launched in 2021 with the goal of creating a product that “you could take home that’d spark an amazing memory from an unforgettable summer. A drink that you could share with friends and family to make new moments,” the East Coast-based company describes of their mission.

Dewey Crush also comes in grapefruit and watermelon flavors.
