No Country in a Nutshell: The Weekly Recap | 1.13-1.19

Another busy week, huh? Between festival announcements left and right (but not Bonnaroo- yet), more quality shows than we could handle, ticket giveaways, song and video releases, locals on late night TV, and some major tour announcements, it definitely feels like the holiday lull is over.
