Turnstile shares statement on Grammy wins: ‘We are very grateful to be here’

February 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Turnstile has shared a statement regarding the band’s two Grammy wins Sunday.

The hardcore outfit took home best rock album for NEVER ENOUGH and best metal performance for “BIRDS.” They were also nominated in the best rock song and best alternative music performance categories.

“We never thought we’d be in these rooms, but we are very grateful to be here,” Turnstile writes in a Facebook post. “This band has never been about the individual, but rather about a collective searching for a common thread in a world where those threads are being hidden from us. The world likes to tell us who we are and what we’re not, but the truth is we belong to nothing and we belong to everyone.”

“We’re existing in a time of heightened state violence,” the post continues “We are watching people be pushed out of their homes here in America, in Palestine, in Sudan, in Iran, everywhere, as if they don’t belong to them. As if we don’t belong to each other. Music is a vehicle for voices that are buried, that are searching, that are alien. Turnstile has always existed as an alien thing.”

Turnstile concludes the statement by thanking “our family, our friends, our partners, our peers for continuing to shape us and give us sense of belonging,” as well as their fans, team and their hometown of Baltimore.

“Thank you to everyone who has allowed this band to be a mirror for this community,” Turnstile says.

Get a sneak preview of Backstreet Boys’ new T-Mobile ad

February 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Tell me why … it’s America’s best network. That’s what Backstreet Boys sing in their new Super Bowl T-Mobile ad, which ABC’s Good Morning America aired a preview of Wednesday morning.

In the clip, the group, wearing white and pink, surprise customers who are shopping for a phone plan in New York’s Times Square. “They couldn’t believe the Backstreet Boys were actually performing in the middle of a T-Mobile store,” Nick Carter told GMA’s Will Reeve.

“So that was great, and it’s just been a collaborative effort between, I feel like, with these producers, the directors and everybody. It’s been a really great experience.”

Of course, the group’s ongoing popularity is what allowed them to book the ad in the first place.

“We’re grateful, very blessed, and that’s a testament to our music, our fans, and hard work, perseverance, and keep going,” Kevin Richardson told GMA.

Howie Dorough added, “Us still having the drive to want to do this — we’re like a family. We’ve been in this family here longer than our own marriages. Things just keep getting better and better.”

Amid their wildly popular Into the Millennium residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, AJ McLean said the group is “always trying to set new goals and achieve those goals.”

Nick added, “When we get up on that stage at Sphere, and we see these people coming, wearing the same outfits, enjoying the nostalgia — those are all moments for us to remind us why we do what we do, and why we continue to love it, and that’s what keeps us together.”

‘Brunette’ Tucker Wetmore was the brains behind his video masterpiece

February 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Tucker Wetmore‘s third country radio hit is currently making its way up the chart, propelled in part by an elaborate music video — one that came straight out of Tucker’s imagination.

“Me and my content guy, his name is Chase Foster, we were just sitting down,” he tells ABC Audio. “I was like, ‘Dude, I really want to do a music video for “Brunette,”‘ and I gave him a whole rundown. I was like, ‘I want it to be like an old Western-type feel. I want there to be some cameos that people see some familiar faces in it and kinda make it a whole event.'”

“One contingency I said was I want everybody in the video to be blond, whether it’s a wig or a natural blond or whatever, besides me and the main girl character,’ which was Hannah [Godwin] from The Bachelor,” he adds. “You know, it turned out great. There’s some quirky stuff in it and fun stuff, but it turned really good.”

On Sunday, Tucker plays Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Tailgate in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl.

February 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Little Feat has added a new set of spring and summer dates to their final tour, dubbed The Last Farewell Tour.

The new shows kick off May 26 in Ocean City, Maryland, with stops in Connecticut, New York, Las Vegas, California and more, before wrapping Aug. 22 in Denver, Colorado.

Tickets for the new shows go on sale Friday.

Little Feat announced in November that they would be embarking on their final tour in 2026 before retiring from the road. The name of the tour is a callback to their 1975 release, The Last Record Album.

“My hope is ‘The Last Farewell Tour’ resembles a long passionate kiss, a prolonged warm hug, giving us all time to embrace this special moment to remember our collective past with those here and others departed but still in our hearts,” keyboardist and founding member Bill Payne writes on Instagram. “This is a celebration that acknowledges gratitude to all for an unforgettable journey, mingled with joy, sadness, but no regrets.”

He adds, “Let’s allow some time for all of this to play out. We still have a lot to say and share. All endings suggest new beginnings.”

Little Feat will launch the first leg of The Last Farewell Tour on April 10 in Orlando, Florida. A complete list of dates can be found at LittleFeat.net.

You’ll go ‘Crazy’ over Seal’s new concert film

February 4, 2026 by WDNY Radio

It may not be “chef’s kiss,” but Seal‘s new concert film is definitely a “Kiss From a Rose.”

The film, titled Purpose: Celebrating 30 Years of the Classic Albums Seal I and Seal II, was shot live at The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas in 2024. It documents the tour Seal undertook that year to mark the anniversaries of his biggest records. The release will be available as a Blu-ray and CD combo, digital audio and video, and a 4K UHD+Blu-ray combo pack.

“Where this tour is concerned, the one thing I didn’t see coming is rediscovering my purpose,” Seal says in a statement.

In addition to performances of songs like “Crazy,” “Prayer for the Dying,” “Love’s Divine” and, of course, “Kiss From a Rose,” the film includes interviews with Seal and his producer Trevor Horn, who also served as the concert’s bass player and musical director.

“He is this mentor that I’ve spent the last 34 years looking up to. He knows me as an artist better than anyone else,” Seal says of Horn. “Having him on tour caused me to bring a level of professionalism and discipline that I hadn’t had before.”

The film is due out Feb. 13 and is available for preorder now. While you wait, you can watch Seal’s performance of “Crazy” from the show, which is currently streaming on YouTube.

Music notes: Alex Warren, Billie Eilish and more

February 3, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Fresh off his Grammy performance, Alex Warren is releasing new music. In an Instagram video with the text “Alex Warren will never write something as good as Ordinary,” Alex and his wife Kouvr jam out to an upbeat new love song called “Fever Dream,” which is “coming soon,” according to the video.

During the The MLK, Jr. Beloved Community Awards, you’ll see Billie Eilish receive the Environmental Justice Award. The award ceremony was taped in January; at that time, Billie said in her acceptance speech that it was “hard to celebrate” given that environmental justice feels “less achievable than ever given the state of our country and the world right now.” The show airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on BET.

“Golden” is going global. Deadline reports that the voices of KPop Demon Hunters‘ HUNTR/X — EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — will give their first live performance outside of the U.S. when they perform at the BAFTA Film Awards in London Feb. 22. The movie itself was ruled ineligible for a BAFTA nomination because it didn’t screen in U.K. theaters. The movie and the song are both nominated for Oscars, though.

New Grammy winner Lola Young will perform during Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase at this year’s South by Southwest® festival. The three-night concert series is set to run from March 12 through March 14, with Lola headlining on March 12. The other big name on the lineup is BigXthaPlug, who’ll headline March 14.

Addison Rae has a cameo in an Uber Eats Super Bowl commercial: She’s shown sipping a Diet Pepsi — of course — while Matthew McConaughey tries to convince Bradley Cooper that football is actually a clever marketing scheme to sell food and beverages.
