Earlier this summer, Eric Church told Rolling Stone that he’s plotting a Nashville residency at his new bar, Chief’s, when the venue opens in the Lower Broadway entertainment district sometime next year. On Tuesday night, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s 2023 Artist-in-Residence gave a preview of what that show might potentially look like with an intimate yet dazzling multimedia performance in the Hall’s CMA Theatre.
“I want to do a show that talks about Vegas. It talks about my brother. It talks about things in my life.

K.T. Oslin, the first female songwriter to win the CMA Award for Song of the Year, for her 1987 hit “80’s Ladies,” died Monday at 78.

Louisville, Ky. — Country music legend Loretta Lynn is three years older than she has led people to believe, an age change that undermines the story she told of being married at 13 in "Coal Miner's Daughter," documents obtained by The Associated Press show.
Lynn's birth certificate on file at the state Office of Vital Statistics in Frankfort, Ky., shows that Loretta Webb was born on April 14, 1932, in Johnson County, Kentucky. That makes her 80 years old, not 77. Also on file is her marriage license and two affidavits from her mother, Clara Marie Ramey, and S.W. Ward Jr., who was not related to the family, listing the same birthdate.
The records weren't filed until 1965, which meant that Lynn needed multiple documents to prove her age at that time. Lynn's signature appears on the document as Loretta Webb Lynn.
Melvin Webb lists his daughter "Loretta" as 7 years old for the 1940 Census, according to...
