Music FYI

A new week means new news about some of our favorite Country artists, so here's your Music FYI!

Country Newcomer Sam Hunt has announced that he's kicking off his Lipstick Graffiti Tour starting January 29, 2015 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA. The trek will continue through mid-April with a stop at Irving Plaza in New York City on February 11. Newcomers Native Run and Michael Ray will open the shows. Tickets go on sale Friday.

Gettin' ready to ring in the New Year. Lady Antebellum has signed on to perform live from Nashville on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2015". The show begins December 31 at 8 p.m. on ABC. Gavin DeGraw will also perform live from Music City, and Taylor Swift is also slated to perform on the show live in Times Square just before the ball drop.

Baby #2 is on it's way. Eric Church and his wife, Katherine, are getting closer to welcoming a second child into their family. Eric has Katherine and their son, Boone, on the road with him on The Outsiders World Tour. Says Eric, "My son loves the road more than I do. It's fun to have 'em there, and having that balance, I think, is crucial to the success of any artist." Spending downtime with his family is essential for Eric's well-being, too. He says, "That's where I recharge. You can't go out there and slay dragons unless you have that place that you can plug back in."
