Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway—who have been nominated for eight IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards, including Album of the Year for their latest, City of Gold—perform throughout Tennessee this weekend. Tuttle and the band make their headlining debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville tonight. Nashville Scene exclaims: "Some artists just need to be experienced inside the halls of the Ryman Auditorium. Undoubtedly, Molly Tuttle is one of those artists." From there, they head east to Bristol for a set at Cumberland Square Park on Saturday, as part of Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, before heading south for a show at The Walker Theatre in Chattanooga on Sunday. The band’s new six-song EP, Into the Wild, is due next week on Nonesuch; you can hear the title track here.

k.d. lang reunites with her band The Reclines for the first time in 35 years to perform at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Saturday, as part of the Canadian Country Music Awards, which will be broadcast live on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app from 8pm ET. lang, whom the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) has named the 2024 artist inductee to the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, is being honored and celebrated in an exclusive induction ceremony during Country Music Week 2024, beginning in Edmonton tonight. “The emotional and sentimental journey that I’ve navigated over the last 35 to 40 years has been extensive — and I’ve come to a point where I’m very, very proud and amused and kind of actually impressed by who I was back then,” lang recently told the Toronto Star. “I seemed to have unbridled faith and confidence — and a pure, inspired vision, which I think I took for granted when I was younger. Now (that) I’m older, I realize how precious that is.” You can read what else she had to say here.

The concerts, which conclude in Copenhagen next week before returning to the US next month, feature the full album, all 69 songs, over two nights at each tour stop. “A 172-minute indie rock spectacular,” says the London Times in its review of the band’s shows at Edinburgh last month. “As the crowd erupted into applause and even a few cautious whoops, there was a shared feeling of having witnessed a spectacular of the first order.”
