As Morgan Wallen gears up to launch his own SiriusXM channel, Morgan Wallen Radio, on April 7, the stadium headliner celebrated by bringing his slate of hits to an intimate performance at Nashville venue The Pinnacle on Thursday night (April 2) for “SiriusXM Presents Morgan Wallen Live at The Pinnacle in Nashville,” where he did an underplay for a crowd of 4,000 SiriusXM subscribers.
The audience was packed and primed for a night of fun and music, as Wallen launched the show by playing his current single “Don’t We,” kicking off a 16-song setlist that mixed brand-new hits with classic Wallen songs. Commanding the stage and greeting fans both in the main standing-room-only level and in the balconies, Wallen, backed by his ace band, performed songs including “I Got Better,” “I’m the Problem,” “20 Cigarettes” and “Chasin’ You” (“I haven’t played this one in a couple of years,” Wallen said. “We gotta bring it back — this is one of the first songs I wrote.”). In the process, he proved that his stadium-filling hits are just as powerful in a smaller venue. Throughout the evening, he continuously made his way to the edges of the stage, smiling and waving at fans, sometimes kneeling and shaking hands, and making the most of the opportunity to be close to his fans.
“I haven’t played a show in a few months,” he told crowd at one point. “I’ve been hanging out with my family, hanging out in the woods a little bit, making some new music. Every time I get on stage after a few months off, I think to myself, ‘Man, why did I take so much time off?’ because I always enjoy being up here. I appreciate you guys showing up everywhere I play.”
He also thanked SiriusXM for their work in launching the new channel, saying, “I remember the first time I ever heard my song on the radio was on SiriusXM. I didn’t even know that artists had their own radio stations at that point when I was listening to it. So, to fast forward 10 years from that to be able to say that they’re letting me have a radio station that’s going to be on 24 hours, 7 days a week. It’s an honor and a privilege for me, for my team. It wouldn’t be possible without every single one of you here tonight. I just want to say thank you for all the milestones that you’ve given me during my career so far.”
He also welcomed a very special guest at one point in the evening, sending the crowd into a frenzy, and ended the evening with his 2018 hit “Whiskey Glasses” — and then stayed to give fans one more memorable moment.
The performance is just a taste of what fans can expect when Wallen launches his 23-date Still the Problem Tour on April 10.

Zach Bryan is canceling a show for the first time in his career, with the country singer/songwriter announcing Friday (April 3) that his performance scheduled for tonight in Oklahoma would not proceed as planned due to extreme weather.
In a statement posted to Bryan’s socials, he addressed his “fellow Oklahomans” and wrote, “I am being forced by my team to cancel the show tonight due to the threat of extreme and dangerous weather.”

“I’ve never canceled a show in my life but I unfortunately don’t have a choice in the matter.”
Bryan also assured fans who’d had tickets to the concert that refunds would be issued automatically through points of purchase.
The hitmaker is currently on his With Heaven on Tour, for which he’d been slated to play two back-to-back shows at the H.A. Chapman Stadium in Tulsa. His show on Saturday (April 4) will proceed as planned.
The cancellation of the first Oklahoma show comes as extreme storms are predicted to descend upon the Tulsa area with dangerous winds and heavy downpours. With his post, Bryan also included a screenshot of someone on his team conveying that information and writing, “I know you’re gonna hate me for this, but we have no choice but to cancel the show. I just had a meeting with the police, school, and meteorologists and the consensus is that we would be putting people’s safety at risk by trying to put on the show.”
“Are you kidding,” was Bryan’s reply.
Bryan’s tour supporting his Billboard 200-topping album With Heaven on Top kicked off March 7 in St. Louis. After departing his home state, the musician will travel through Kentucky, North Carolina, Nebraska, Mississippi and Ohio before heading overseas for a European leg starting in late May.

Brandon Lake has been rolling out a slate of country collaborations, and he just released his new song with two-time CMA entertainer of the year winner Lainey Wilson, titled “The Jesus I Know Now.”
On Instagram, Lake wrote of the song, “I hope it reminds you that, like my Momma used to tell me, ‘Jesus doesn’t just love you – He likes you.’”

Brandon Lake Teases New Country Writing Collabs With Lainey Wilson, HARDY, Dan + Shay & More: ‘God Bless Country & Christian Music!’
Wilson replied to Lake’s post by commenting, “So excited to have this out.”
Written by Wilson, Lake, Luke Laird and Emily Weisband, the song chronicles a maturation of faith over the years. “I found a friend who hangs with the misfits/ Listens, forgives and then forgives again,” they sing.
In January, Lake teased that he had been writing new music with several country artists, among them Wilson, Bailey Zimmerman, Thomas Rhett, HARDY and Dan+Shay. At the time, Lake revealed he had assembled 25 country music artists and/or songwriters, as well as many of Lake’s friends in faith-based music, for a series of writing sessions that had resulted in nearly 50 songs.
His collaboration with Wilson marks the latest country-Christian music hybrid from Lake, who previously released the Cody Johnson collaboration “When a Cowboy Prays” and collaborated with Bailey Zimmerman on “Just Believe.” Lake’s collaboration with Jelly Roll, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” garnered a Grammy for best contemporary Christian music performance/song and GMA Dove Awards for song of the year and bluegrass/country/roots recorded song of the year. The song also earned a CMA Award nomination for musical event of the year.
