Chris Young is stepping into an exciting new chapter with the announcement of his very own Nashville bar, Famous Friends.

Named after his chart-topping hit “Famous Friends” with Kane Brown, the new venue will be located on Demonbreun Street, just steps away from the popular Tin Roof. Designed as a laid-back sports bar, the spot promises a relaxed atmosphere for fans and locals alike.

“Good vibes is really what I’m aiming for with this place,” he explained. “If you call a place Famous Friends and you listen to that song, what is that all about? It’s about people who are all different and doing different things. I want a place where everybody can hang out and just enjoy themselves.”

He continued, “I want people to be able to go in there, enjoy whatever their game is, whether if they’re an Eagles fan. I want you to be able to have your  game on and watch your game and talk crap to each other, but be polite and just  have a good time. Good vibes is really a thing that I’m aiming for for this place, because if you call a place Famous Friends and you listen to that song,  what is that all about? It’s all about people that are different. They all do different things, but I want a place for everybody to be able to hang out and  just enjoy themselves.”

Famous Friends is nearly complete, however, an opening date has yet to be announced. The location of the bar was picked specifically as it holds a special place in Young’s heart.  

”Demonbreun is definitely a place that I spent a lot of time. I lived over there for a while, and so, I’ve seen it change so much. I’ve walked up and down that street going to and from writes a billion times. I’ve seen people on their way up as artists playing in a lot of those spots over there and they’ve changed a lot over the years, but this is a place that I’ve got a lot of great memories. Me and Shay Mooney from Dan + Shay singing at the top of our lungs in some of those places for no reason whatsoever,” he shared. “You know, little memories like that that I think are important. And I think that that street has always been very important to Nashville. Being able to create another spot there, and hopefully a spot that people love and love to go to,  hopefully people remember it for a long time.”

This project is something the “Young Love & Saturday Nights” singer admitted this is something he’s wanted to do for “years.” 

”This for me was just a passion project. It was just something else — not that I’m not already as busy as I could possibly be — I decided I wanted to do one more thing, but’ it’s been on my mind for years now. I’ve been looking for the right place, and I just happened to find it,” he said. “A lot of people go to that area and just hang out. I wanted to be able to offer something a little  bit different and also have a place where maybe we’ll throw some number-one  parties there. Maybe we’ll have some private events there. Maybe we’ll do a  little bit of everything, but also have a place specifically for me, just my  love of music and my love of sports. That’s going to be the walls of this place.”

Meanwhile, the Middle Tennessee native is making waves on the charts, as his latest single, “Til The Last One Dies,” breaks into the Top 20.

Morgan Wallen surprised fans with the announcement of Morgan Wallen Radio, a brand-new, year-round country music channel exclusively on SiriusXM. To mark the launch, SiriusXM is hosting an exclusive, intimate performance from Morgan Wallen at The Pinnacle in Nashville on April 2.

Launching April 7 on SiriusXM and the SiriusXM app, the channel will be curated and hosted by Wallen himself. Fans can expect a mix of his biggest hits and fan favorites, along with songs that shaped his sound, including influences and a few unexpected picks. The 19-time Billboard Music Award winner will also share commentary, behind-the-scenes stories about his music, and personal moments from the road as he gears up for his 23-date Still The Problem stadium tour. Plus, listeners may hear special drop-ins from friends and collaborators who are part of Wallen’s life on and off the stage.

The channel will also spotlight a variety of specialty programming, including:

Still The Problem Tour Segments: A behind-the-scenes look at Wallen’s stadium tour, featuring setlist insights, rehearsal moments, and guest appearances from his band and opening acts.

808 to 865: Airing Saturday nights, this segment finds Wallen sharing his favorite hip-hop tracks and the artists who’ve influenced his sound.

One Track At A Time: A space for Wallen to highlight new music he’s loving, introducing listeners to recent discoveries one song at a time.

Morgan Wallen Radio will also be free to stream in all SiriusXM-equipped vehicles from April 7 through May 6, allowing non-subscribers to check out the curated, premium experience.

“Listeners can expect to hear a lot of things that I listen to on a day-to-day basis, which is probably a lot different than what most people expect,” Wallen shared. “I will be personally curating the music so they will get a glimpse into my world. I’m excited for everyone to hear it.”

“Morgan Wallen is undeniably one of the most influential forces shaping and creating music today,” Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer at SiriusXM, added. “At SiriusXM, we’re always looking for ways to bring fans closer to the artists they love, and this launch does just that, from a channel curated by Morgan himself to an exclusive concert experience that gives listeners unprecedented access to his music, his influences, and his live performance.”

Wallen will celebrate the launch of the channel with a special intimate performance at The Pinnacle in Nashville on April 2. SiriusXM subscribers and fans can enter for a chance to win tickets to attend, as well as a VIP trip option for those traveling from outside the Nashville area.

The exclusive performance will officially kick off Morgan Wallen Radio when it premieres on Tuesday, April 7 at 5:00 pm ET. Bringing the feel of his upcoming Still The Problem Tour into a much smaller setting, the show promises a rare, up-close experience for a select group of SiriusXM listeners.

Wallen’s SiriusXM country channel joins artist-branded channels from Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, and Willie Nelson.
