Dust off your boots because Boots In The Park just dropped their 2025 lineup. The New Mexico festival just announced its lineup for 2025, and it's its biggest one to date. Boots In The Park puts on festivals across New Mexico, California, Nevada, and Arizona, bringing some of the best names in country music to these locations. Earlier this year, country fans were treated to performances from Brooks & Dunn, Parker McCollum, Rodney Atkins, and more. However, when planning its 2025 lineup, the festival decided to turn up the heat and bring some of the biggest names in country music to New Mexico. "The biggest Boots In The Park lineup to date takes over Albuquerque on May 17 & 18! Get ready for Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Scotty McCreery + more to light up New Mexico for an unforgettable country music party all weekend long." Boots In The Park attendees can enjoy performances from Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Corey Kent, Jade Eagleson and more. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCzU2gjSL33/ Tickets for the festival go on sale December 5th, so that's the perfect time to purchase a Christmas present for your concert-loving family or friends. My 2025 festival bucket list will be miles long if festivals keep dropping lineups like this. Everyone is bringing the heat when it comes to who they are booking. This is not one you'll want to miss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyU0Ymg60Xo

No one can put on a show quite like Charles Wesley Godwin. The West Virginia native and his band - The Allegheny High - take pride in providing a kick-ass show. Of all the country music concerts I've attended in recent memory, it's hard to think of one that topped the energy that CWG presented. Godwin and his band come out firing on all cylinders, and they stay at that level for the entirety of their shows. If you ever get the chance, you've got to go see it in person. For now though, you'll have to settle with this concert video from Charles Wesley Godwin's recent stop at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. CWG has been on tour for much of 2024 after he released his major label debut album Family Ties in September of last year, and he's just now winding down for a bit of a winter break before he hits the road hard again in 2025. Based on videos I've seen from recent shows, it appears that Charles Wesley Godwin is doing the music equivalent of "leaving it all out on the field." Vocal chords and potential brain trauma be damned: CWG and his band are belting out songs and violently shaking their heads at an otherworldly pace as they wind down their 2024 touring. And while Godwin and The Allegheny High were in Philly, they decided to treat concert goers to a raucous cover of Tyler Childers' "Whitehouse Road." It's cool to see a fellow Appalachian artist borrow the song for a bit. "Whitehouse Road" has become a song that Childers doesn't play all that much at his own live shows. It occasionally pops up on a setlist here, but you could categorize those occurrences as "rare." The hit song now falls on the list of other tunes that Tyler seems to play less and less - like "Feathered Indians," which he hasn't played live since 2020. So if Childers isn't going to play "Whitehouse Road," at least there's another lively country music artist out there that's happy to give the song some life. And CWG has seemingly made it a staple of his setlist during his 2024 tour, sometimes using it in the show's encore. Though he always closes out his shows with a cover of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" as a tribute to his home state of West Virginia. You might be thinking, "CWG sure does seem to play a lot of covers." That's not exactly true, but I will say that when Godwin does decide to do a cover, it's not nonchalant. There's always a certain respect that Charles gives to the songs of others, and they're always used in his shows both as a tribute to the original artist and a sing-a-long of sorts. If a non-fan happens to be out in the audience, CWG can almost certainly turn them in his favor when he breaks out into a cover song. If you happen to be unfamiliar and just clicked on this story because you like Tyler Childers, go ahead and cue this one up and prepare to dive into CWG's impressive music collection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE_TRMeVlFI

The special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion on Monday to dismiss the ongoing prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump for his role in the Capitol riot of January 6, 2021. The motion states that “it has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President.” After consulting with Justice Department officials, the special counsel concluded that this policy also applies to presidents-elect. Smith was careful to emphasize that the dismissal was not done on the merits of the case, writing in the filing that the “prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind.” The motion requests that the judge dismiss the case without prejudice, a situation which could theoretically allow it to be reopened at a later date.
