End-of-tour gifts are a fun tradition in country music. At the end of a tour, the headliner will typically give the opener a pretty damn cool gift. As Jason Aldean has had many years in the business, he's both received and given some interesting gifts. Jason Aldean has an extensive touring history, and so likely had a handful of end-of-tour gifts to choose from when talking about them on Taste of Country Nights with Evan Paul.

First it was Brooks & Dunn and Jason Aldean, now it's Jon Pardi. Concert goers have had a string of bad luck as stars announce back-to-back show cancellations. At least Jon Pardi has a pretty good excuse, as he's fallen ill. This weekend was supposed to be a packed weekend for Jon Pardi, but illness has reared its ugly head. Jon Pardi took to his Instagram story to announce that the shows for tonight (May 30) and tomorrow (June 1) have been postponed to later next month.

I recently had the great pleasure of attending a KC Johns concert during her UK tour. Not only did I get to see one of the best live performances of my life, I also got to chat to the country rocker, who weighed in on the UK vs. US crowd debate. KC Johns hit the UK for a tour in May, where she performed from Cardiff all the way to London. On her last show of the tour, in Syon Park, I went to pay her a visit. Last we spoke online, I told her about what to expect from the UK.

I've never done mushrooms before, but I wouldn't wager that Coachella would be the best environment to try them for the very first time. Well, Jessie Murph plays by her own rules, I suppose. Jessie Murph and Bunnie XO recently bonded over sharing their experiences using mushrooms, and Murph was hilariously blunt about how good of a time she had.

This may be the craziest story I've written in my career, ladies and gentlemen. Remember Jessica Andrews? Well, she has an impostor that keeps releasing music under her official name. And it's bad, real bad. If you looked up Jessica Andrews on Spotify or Apple Music, you may be surprised to see that she's been steadily releasing music for years. This is because there is a crazed fan out there who simply won't accept that Andrews has been done with music since 2004.

Sadie Robertson has shone a light on the Duck Dynasty reboot, as she explained why two key characters aren't involved anymore. Her uncles, Jase and Jep Robertson. Duck Dynasty: The Revival is hitting A&E on June 1, so we've only got a couple of days to go. This time around, however, not all of the original cast will be present. I mean, the last season of Duck Dynasty aired in 2017, and a lot has changed since then.
