And, if you’re still waiting to move forward into normal life, know that country artist Stephanie Ryann is right there with you.

As part of our Keep the Music Playing campaign, we have no shortage of live streams coming up for your eyes and ears.
Of course, that means plenty of UMC Quarantine Jams. However, it also means another Facebook Live takeover, as well as our May edition of the Underground Writers Round, brought to you virtually once more.
The full list is after the jump. Dig in!
Given the time of year, it’s only appropriate that we pepper a holiday tune into our Daily Spinn rotation every now and again.

In case you haven’t heard, we love writers rounds. It’s kind of our thing.
On Monday night, our love affair with this medium for sharing songs and stories took a country turn, courtesy of B Chord Management.

Fun fact: I’m not a cold weather guy. At all. One of the wonderful things about living in Nashville is the fact that it’s 90 degrees from the end of April until the beginning of October.
So, if somebody wants to release a song in November to remind me of that feeling, it’s going to be a Daily Spinn.

On her previous single, “Home,” Stephanie Ryann sang of a sense of belonging, no matter where she finds herself across the globe.
That’s a good thing, because this new single — the next in the New York-based singer’s Summer Series — is taking her places.

We’ve returned to Nashville, even more inspired than usual to bring you 20 tracks of fire.
