Country Music: Radio & Artists

Follow the country artists you care about, and this app becomes theirs: their news, their concerts near you, and their new music, in one place. YOUR ARTISTS Choose from 80 artists, from today's names to the legends. Your first screen is their news, newest first, gathered from publishers across the web. When several outlets carry the same story, it shows once. CONCERTS NEAR YOU See your artists' upcoming shows, and which are within driving distance. If you ask for shows near you, your location is used on your phone only, rounded to about six miles, and never sent anywhere. NEW RELEASES New albums, EPs and singles from the artists you follow, including ones that have been announced but aren't out yet. On Fridays, release day, you can get a notification for each. NOTIFICATIONS THAT RESPECT YOU At most one a day for each artist you follow, only for fresh news, and off with one switch. COUNTRY RADIO Internet radio stations playing today's country, classics and Americana, in the background and from your lock screen. Where a station shares it, you see the song that's playing, with the artist's photo when it's one of yours, and a list of what it played recently. Star up to five favorite stations to keep them at the top, in the order you like, and skip to the next station with one tap. Save a song you like and find it later in Apple Music or Spotify. There's a sleep timer for falling asleep to the radio, and if you mostly listen, you can have the app open straight onto the radio. Every station is checked several times a day, and one that stops playing is taken off the list until it's back. WHAT IT CAN'T DO Concert dates come from Ticketmaster, so shows sold elsewhere, including many festivals, won't appear. Check the official page before you travel. The news is written by the publishers it links to, not by us, and we aren't affiliated with any artist. The radio stations are independent broadcasters. This app doesn't play songs on demand; it helps you find them where you listen. Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it; if you bought that in an earlier version, Restore Purchase brings it back.
