When Blake was ready to move his family to Nashville, his mentor Tom Douglas told him that where he came from was his edge, and leaving would cost him that. So Blake kept his family rooted in Grand Cane and spent years making the eight-and-a-half-hour drive to write in Nashville, which eventually led to @thetimmcgraw’s Hallelujahville.

From cuts with @laineywilson and @cjsolar to the night McGraw called him out by name from the stage, he’s built his songwriting career while still calling Grand Cane home.

Some love stories come with a soundtrack, and thank goodness they do 🤍

30 years ago today, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill got married in Louisiana, and a couple of their love songs were released right before their anniversary, giving the couple a few extra days to celebrate every October.

Happy 30th to Tim and Faith!

Mixing Louisiana Country Music with Sugarfield Spirits just tastes right. 🥃

Earlier this year the LCM team was honored to tour the distillery, taste the lineup, and get to know the awesome people behind it all. Sugarfield also teamed up with @cjsolar on Black Label Blues, a limited run of 70 bottles of bourbon finished in orange liqueur barrels.

📖 We broke down the full story on our site, linked in bio.

@sugarfield_spirits is a proud sponsor of Louisiana Country Music, and we’re grateful for their support of Louisiana artists.

Maurice’s Dom Ellis joins LCM Live this WEDNESDAY at 7 PM CT 🎤

Dom picked up a guitar while recovering from an injury and never put it down. Since then, he’s traded the sugar cane fields of Acadiana for Nashville, made his UK debut at C2C Festival in London, and hit the road with Waylon Wyatt on the Out of the Blue Tour. Along the way he’s built a gravelly, soulful country-folk sound inspired by Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, and Chris Stapleton.

Ronnie sits down with Dom to talk about growing up in Maurice, winning over crowds overseas, and his latest single “The Way I Know.”

Plus! One lucky viewer watching live will win a Billy’s Boudin prize pack 🌶️ Mark your calendars, we’ll see you live on Wednesday at 7 PM CT.

📺 Watch on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube.

Happy 21st birthday to Honky Tonk Badonkadonk! 🎉

It all started on a night out at Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon, when one dance floor gave three songwriters an idea they couldn’t pass up. Trace Adkins took it from there, and two decades later, the Badonkadonkers are still showing up.

Get the full story behind the song at the link in bio.

One of our favorite parts of hosting writers retreats is getting to know artists on a level that everyday shows and co-writes just don’t allow for.

In Jena this year, we got almost three uninterrupted days of fishing, writing, riding Rangers, eating good food, and hanging out in some beautiful country. And man, was it a pleasure getting to know Dan Smalley.

He’s a great writer and artist, but he’s an even better person and hang. His story is one of a kind, but it’s his sincerity and down-to-earth nature that make you want to know him more.

We feel lucky to introduce anyone new to Dan’s music, because his voice is something special and his writing hits you right in the heart. But we feel even more honored to call him a friend.

If you haven’t yet, check out our full artist spotlight on Dan. 📖 Linked in bio.

Fourteen years ago today, a 21-year-old from Breaux Bridge made Billboard history. 📈

Hunter Hayes’ “Wanted” reached No. 1 on Hot Country Songs on September 29, 2012, making him the youngest solo male artist to top the chart and breaking a record that had stood since 1973. He wrote it as a love letter. It turned into the song that introduced him to country radio.

The full story is linked in our bio.
