Chris Stapleton took the stage during his recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show for a special performance of “Loving You on My Mind.” The song, which appears on the musician’s latest studio album, Higher, was elevated to the next level as Stapleton was joined by Hudson herself and the country duo the War and Treaty.
Stapleton kicked off the song with the War and Treaty, singing alongside his band. About halfway through, following one of the singer’s soulful guitar solos, Hudson emerged from side stage to bring the performance home.

In the documentary “Resynator,” director Alison Tavel resurrects a synthesizer prototype that her late father, Don, invented.
Tavel, who lost her father when she was just 10 weeks old, initially wanted to make a short film doc about the synthesizer, which her father called the Resynator. The late-1970s invention generated a lot of buzz but never reached mass production. Tavel’s curiosity about the instrument ultimately led the director on a journey that helped her not only understand the Resynator and how it worked, but also who her father really was.
Tavel’s short doc eventually turned into a 96-minute film that includes interviews with estranged family, friends, inventors and celebrated musicians including Peter Gabriel, Fred Armisen and Jon Anderson.
Variety spoke to Tavel ahead of the doc’s SXSW world premiere on March 10.

Campaigning is an essential part of a successful awards season. This year it has been varied with the return of TV appearances in addition to performances for internet media voters may frequent. And campaigning seems as intense as ever, so let’s look at how the potential nominees did so before nomination voting closed on October 20.

Late night talk shows
Talk shows have always been good campaigning spots, and this year they were even more so. Talk shows went off-air for months due to the WGA strike, so many people were eager to watch them again when they finally came back on the air. Coincidentally, the return of these shows almost matched with the first day of Grammy voting (October 11), so there was a lot of hype that artists could take advantage of.

Elvis Presley‘s death shocked the world, only to inspire numerous writers, filmmakers, and songwriters. For example, Jimmy Buffett recorded a song about the tragedy called “Elvis Presley Blues.” The track seems to comment on Elvis’ ties to the Black community. Notably, “Elvis Presley Blues” is a standard from one of the most acclaimed albums of the 2000s.
1 Jimmy Buffett song is about Elvis Presley’s death and the folk hero John Henry
“Elvis Presley Blues” is an atypical song for Buffett to cover. The tune is a lot more morbid and disquieting than “Cheeseburger in Paradise” or “Margaritaville.” In it, Buffett recounts the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s death. He sings about Elvis’ trademark dancing, his looks, and how the singer was lonely at the top.
He also mentions folk hero John Henry. Henry was a legendary Black steel worker who was more powerful than a drilling machine.

WGA members have picketed each of the TV upfronts thus far, and on Wednesday morning, strikers did not miss an opportunity to stick it to David Zaslav at Warner Bros. Discovery’s presentation to advertisers. Or more accurately, they did so from an NYPD-controlled pen immediately outside the presentation venue.
Inside The Theater at Madison Square Garden, adjacent to where Zaslav’s beloved New York Knicks play, the chief executive’s immediate underlings shared their respective upcoming slates to the media buyers in attendance. That’s a task normally reserved for celebrities, a thrill for the folks who financially support a program via television commercials. While actors has consistently avoided each upfront event this year in solidarity with their writers, NBCUniversal, Fox, and Disney each had in-person unscripted talent at their presentations; Wbd went fully without.

If NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation Monday morning was any indication, the week ahead will be a relatively low-key affair, with plenty of pitching, with very little in the way of specifics.
There will be one constant, however: Striking writers.
Outside of Radio City Music Hall on Monday, a crowd of more than 200 writers marched in front of the venue’s various entrances, calling for a fair deal.
The strike was also present during the presentation itself, where the usual parade of actors and stars was replaced by a cavalcade of NBC News anchors, like Willie Geist and Savannah Sellers, who introduced clip packages for the company’s lineup of TV shows and films.
“If you squint a little bit, I could be Colin Jost,” Geist said, before introducing a Saturday Night Live clip reel.
But the strike was also addressed overtly, with executives resigned to navigate the upfront with the uncertainty it will create.

Despite the WGA picketers outside, NBC held its upfront presentation Monday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Missed the star-free event that was hosted mostly by news personalities, Real Housewives and Mario Lopez? Here were the highlights:
Seth MacFarlane got another chance to show off his singing pipes — and crude sense of humor — by appearing in a pre-taped segment as his alter-ego Ted at the top of the presentation: he sang an original song about NBC selling ads about “detergent and feminine pads” and “kicking nads.” In 2021, Peacock gave a straight-to-series order to a live-action comedy series based on MacFarlane’s 2012 movie featuring the furry character.

Bob Dylan has been performing for decades, and he once switched up his style to emulate another musician. He has likely perfected his onstage demeanor after years of touring virtually ceaselessly. Still, he greatly admired the other musician. Dylan found the other artist impressive onstage, but he said that the performing style did not go over well for him.
Bob Dylan | Val Wilmer/Redferns Bob Dylan said there were a number of musicians he admired
Dylan said that he gets strong emotional reactions while listening to music.
“A great song is the sum of all things,” he told The Wall Street Journal (via his official website). “It could be the turning point in your life. Louis Armstrong does it like a scat singer, Jimmie Rodgers can yodel it. It’s timeless and ageless. It’s a field holler, it’s blood and thunder, it’s on easy street and in...

Acoustic trio Nickel Creek have reunited to announce a new album and release their first new music in nine years. Celebrants, the follow-up to Chris Thile, Sean Watkins, and Sara Watkins’ 2014 release A Dotted Line, will arrive March 24.
The album’s first single is “Strangers,” which revolves around a swift finger-style guitar part and lead vocal from Sean Watkins.

Bob Dylan has revealed that he enjoys listening to Eminem and the hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan.
In a new interview, the singer opened up about his favourite artists and explained that he usually discovers new music “mostly by accident”.
Dylan, 81, told The Wall Street Journal that he “is a fan of” Eminem and Wu-Tang Clan and praised them both for their “feeling for words and language”.
He also said that he likes listening to “anybody whose vision parallels mine”.
This is not the first time Dylan has discussed Eminem. In 2001, he admitted to Time that he didn’t know that much about the rapper, but said: “I almost feel like if anything is controversial, the guy’s gotta be doing something right.”
In the same interview, 21 years ago, Dylan claimed that he hated most modern music and said that the radio makes “hideous sounds”.

For Ashton Kutcher, sweat and personal revelations apparently go hand in hand. The actor is currently hosting the "Our Future Selves" series for Peloton Tread as he trains for the upcoming New York City Marathon, and during a recent episode with Kenny Chesney, Kutcher shared the story of how he first told Mila Kunis he loved her after listening to the country singer's music.
"The first time I told my wife that I love her was while listening to 'You and Tequila.' I might have had a little too much tequila," Kutcher said, referencing Chesney's 2010 hit featuring Grace Potter. Kutcher and Kunis famously got together decades after appearing alongside one another on "That '70s Show." They went on to get married in 2015 and currently share two children.

“Honest to god,” says Dave Rawlings, “we could talk about this album for a week.”
Rawlings and Gillian Welch would be the first to admit that it’s difficult to discuss their landmark third album Time (The Revelator) without launching into a thousand tangents. Every one of its 10 songs, every raw emotion the duo channeled into the record, every one of their failed attempts to record the album — each of these could be the subject of its own lengthy interview. Each backstory has its own backstory, its wheel inside a wheel.

Dua Lipa could claim multiple general field awards this year. If she manages to sweep Album of the Year (“Future Nostalgia”), Record of the Year (“Don’t Start Now”) and Song of the Year (also “Don’t Start Now”), she’ll join Adele, Billie Eilish, and Christopher Cross as the only artists to win all four general field awards in her career (Lipa won Best New Artist back in 2019).

Kudos to the recording academy for making this an all-women lineup. Women in rock have been underrepresented in past years, and 2020 was truly the year for women in the genre, with many releasing critically acclaimed albums that defined the year.
By process of elimination, we can take out Big Thief’s “Not”; the band missed Best Alternative Album. Haim (“The Steps”) were also snubbed in the alternative category, but they got into Album of the Year, so there might still be strong support for them across the academy. That said, “The Steps...

Los Angeles, Nov 25 (Ians) The 2021 Grammy Awards nominations are all about women power with Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Dua Lipa leading the way.
Beyonce is leading the contender at the 2021 Grammy Awards with nine nods. She is followed by Taylor Swift, Roddy Ricch and Dua Lipa, who earned six nominations each.
Brittany Howard, of Alabama Shakes fame, earned five nominations for her solo debut. Earning four each were Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, Phoebe Bridgers, Justin Bieber, jazz pianist John Beasley and classical producer David Frost, reports Variety.
As a shocker, The Weeknd didn't get nominated. Despite being predicted to dominate the nominations at the 63rd annual Grammys, the pop-r&b superstar's "Blinding lights" single and "After Hours" album got zero nominations.

For once, the country music patriarchy is riding shotgun.
Country may be renowned as a genre where the women do not always get a fair shake, but you would not guess that from how the nominations for the 2021 Grammys shook out. Female solo artists or bands with women as primary lead singers accounted for all five of the nominations in the best country album category. Moreover, female-fronted material was awarded four out of five slots in two other categories, best country song and best country solo performance. That 80-to-100% imbalance is, of course, pretty much the exact inverse of what a fan of the music will hear on the airwaves.
If the Grammys were making a statement, the Recording Academy wasn’t just making it in country. There was a similar readjusting of the scales happening in some of the rock categories. For best rock performance, all six nominees are...

The top 11 couples will hit the floor on Monday’s “Dancing with the Stars,” but the most anticipated routine of the night — or at least the most pimped — is arguably Derek Hough‘s.
The new judge and his girlfriend Hayley Erbert, a former troupe member, will perform a paso doble to “Uccen” by Taalbi Brothers. “I certainly don’t wanna disappoint. I’m gonna bring my all,” Hough teased of the performance three weeks ago. “My M.O. is entertaining and bringing joy to people, and that’s it. I’m so happy I’m able to do that on this show.”
The six-time champ left “Dancing” after finishing in sixth place with Marilu Henner on Season 23 in 2016.
Meanwhile, the top 11 will each tackle an unlearned dance. No new dances this week, but after their season debuts last week, jazz and contemporary are sticking around.

I’m gonna bring my all,” Hough teased of the performance three weeks ago. “My M.O. is entertaining and bringing joy to people, and that’s it. I’m so happy I’m able to do that on this show.”
The six-time champ left “Dancing” after finishing in sixth place with Marilu Henner on Season 23 in 2016.
Meanwhile, the top 11 will each tackle an unlearned dance. No new dances this week, but after their season debuts last week, jazz and contemporary are sticking around.
