New Year, Who Dis? 
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So sayeth Ferris Bueller, anyway, and the sentiment could not ring truer barreling into a new year. While 2020 may have overstayed its welcome, it certainly went out with a bang – literally and figuratively – as Downtown Nashville was rocked by a Christmas Day bombing. A more positive and exciting explosion took place on Music Row as new labels popped up, including the Benny Brown-led Quartz Hill Records. Read about those events, and check out the first chart of 2021, in last night’s (1/11) Country Aircheck Weekly here.
