It so refreshing to talk to a star on the rise. There's an excitement and a hunger with new artists. Plus, they are  in the midst of a grind on their way up and therefore a feeling of release in their communication. At least, that's been my experience. 

Check out my conversation with "Mind On You" artist, George Birge, here. You'll hear what I'm talking about. He's the real deal; open, honest and electrified by the journey. He talks about the song, touring, where he came from and enjoying the moments. 

We play a game to get to know George Birge even better. I call it "On the Birge." Find out what other talents he has, some of his favorite spots in Boston, his favorite Christmas movie and so much more.

Kruser Converses With ' Mind On You' Artist George Birge

Dierks Bentley is back! We missed him last year at what has become kind of a tradition around here, his show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield. But the "American Girl" singer is back with his Gravel and Gold Tour.

This tour bring Chase Rice and newcomer Kaitlyn Butts to New England. Gravel and Gold is the name of Bentley's latest album featuring his #1 hit "Gold." His latest release is the first single off the Petty Country project, which has an impressive lineup of country artists singing Tom Petty songs. 

Dierks and I talk about "American Girl" and the project, his return to the Boston area and of course a little hockey talk(he's a big fan and his son is playing). Listen here to find out more about the show and hear Dierks' answer in a game I call "Good as Gold."

Carly Pearce Called Ahead Of Her Big Show With Tim McGraw At TD Garden

In his 30 year career, this has never happened to Tim McGraw. Never has he moved up a show to make room for a sporting event. But, he's ready to be the "pep rally for Boston." As he put it "we'll just show up and rally for the Bruins and Celtics." 

Lots to talk about with the man behind all those hits. What's one of his favorite older songs to play, that he never gets tired of? Hear what McGraw had to say, Or what's one bad habit he has? Yes, that's the title of his new single, but he did share a bad and good habit. 

We look forward to seeing Tim McGraw at the TD Garden, it's been too long since he played there. Catch my interview with Tim here and he talks about his return to Boston.
