Jimmie Allen will bring the good times to the 2022 Rose Parade – Country singer Jimmie Allen wasn’t raised around college sports, but when he was asked to perform as part of the grand finale of the 133rd Rose Parade, he jumped at the chance. “My band grew up watching college football,” Allen said. “I didn’t know how big the Rose Bowl was. Then, I got into it, and I realized. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” Following the landing of the Golden Knights, Allen, the reigning ACM New Male Artist of the Year, will perform his hit song “Good Times Roll,” from his “Bettie James Gold Edition” album, with his band. Joining them will be the Rose Parade Dancers, the Mark Keppel Dance Company and the Rose Parade Flag Bearers. – Read more at PasadenaWeekly

But before we go, let’s record something.’ And so we recorded, just a little 30-second, one-minute clip of ‘In the Garden,’ which is an old hymn that we both love.” – Read more at Everything Nash

Catie Turner Turns Her Insecurities Into Catharsis on New Single, “God Must Hate Me” – “As an artist, you always want people to listen to and experience the work you put your time and tears into,” she said. “But for this one, when people tell me they have it on repeat, it’s bittersweet—I’m happy they found something to relate to, but also I’m like, ‘Hey, are you ok?’ I feel guilty because it’s so sad! What stands out to me, though, is that I think no one really talks about this feeling so bluntly. Like no poetry, no bullshit: I feel like God made a mistake with me.” – Read more at American Songwriter
