Adeem The Artist
Adeem Bingham is a seventh-generation Carolinian, a makeshift poet, singer-songwriter, storyteller, and blue-collar Artist. Whether opining on the disparity of “hooch” and “booch” in the collision of generations or straddling the duality of being a “blue collar boy” who is a “complicated dame,” Adeem excavates unwonted stories of the forgotten south.

Beyoncé Snubbed by 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards After Album of the Year Grammy Win
Despite picking up album of the year and best country album for Cowboy Carter at the 2025 Grammys, Beyoncé has been snubbed by a country music awards program…again. The nominations for the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards were unveiled Thursday, and Beyoncé’s name was notably left off the list. This isn’t the first time, however, as the cultural icon was also snubbed by the 2024 CMA Awards this past year.

Heather Mae is not short of ambition and her double release kiss & tell and WHAT THEY HID FROM ME are a powerful one-two punch of owning one's queerness in the face of trauma. As Mae mentioned in our interview last year, the plan for this project was too bold for a single album – Mae wanted to involve as many women and nonbinary people in the Nashville music scene as possible, and to leverage specific genres to spread her message.
