Though he went home empty-handed, Shaboozey had a heckuva night at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 2), where he performed a medley of his hits alongside the other best new artist nominees.

When Billboard caught up with the “Good News” singer backstage after the ceremony — where he was up for five awards — and asked him what his plans were for following up his 19-week Hot 100 No. 1 smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey said one of the items on his to-do list is a team-up with another country chart superstar.


“Stuff’s comin’, man, stuff’s comin’,” Shaboozey said about a potential collaboration with pal Morgan Wallen. “He shot me a text the other day and it’s just good that he’s doing good, taking care of himself, putting out some new music that I feel the world is excited about… and ready for.”

As for his next iteration, Shaboozey said he can’t wait for fans to hear what the follow-up to his breakthrough 2024 album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. “I’m so excited about it [my upcoming music]. I feel like I’m now coming into my own,” he said. “This [Grammy Awards] is just an extra treat on top of everything I’ve done so far in my career. I can’t wait to keep it going.”

Shaboozey also said that being nominated in the “big four” Grammy categories — including song of the year and best new artist — was “amazing. Honestly, to be in the big four after just one year of really figuring out the type of music I wanted to make, the sound I wanted to get, the type of songs I wanted to write?” he said. “It’s amazing and honestly I hope that I keep coming and this isn’t just the only year I get to do this.”

Obituaries: Canadian Artists Remember Paul Martin of The Blushing Brides, Max Webster's Terry Watkinson & John Hammond

This week we also acknowledge the passing of hit songwriter and recording artist Neil Sedaka and American guitar ace Travis Wammack.

Paul Martin, a Toronto guitarist, singer-songwriter and music publisher best known as a member of the Blushing Brides, died on Feb 24, his 67th birthday. A cause of death has not been officially reported

The origins of the Blushing Brides date back to the late '70s when vocalist Maurice Raymond agreed to join Martin's Kingston band Consilium. The Canadian Pop Encyclopedia reports that "In early 1979, two Kingston, Ontario, musicians, Maurice Raymond (vocals) and Paul Martin (guitar), decided to fill the musical gap left with the absence of a tour every four or five years by their mutually favourite band The Rolling Stones. Soon they laid down the groundwork for a tribute band called, simply, The Blushing Brides.
