They’re still Carters and still twins but not the Carter Twins anymore! Zach and Josh explain how a drive through Kingston Springs, TN helped to define the next chapter. Zach assures below that they have not disappeared, and the music is still very much alive.
“We love it. We hope you guys love it as much as we do,” says Zach of their new music. “It’s still Josh and Zach Carter. It’s still the people y’all fell in love with. We are still making the same kind of music … still country. It’s the next phase of us– it’s us 2.0! It better represents us in who we are now as artists than ‘the Carter Twins’ did.”
Don’t miss Kingston live at The Tin Roof Nashville for “United We Sing”, this Sunday, September 11!

Bill Engvall is the new host of revived game show Lingo on GSN! The mystery- word game show is on weeknights at 8 & 11 pm.
The new season of Lingo stays true to the original game. Each round has two contestants who guess a mystery five-letter word in five guesses. With each correct guess the team can then take off numbers of a bingo-style board. When a team guesses correctly they earn points and a chance to win on their Lingo card. During the final round, the team with the most points gets to guess as many words as possible within two minutes and the chance to get “Lingo” and the $100,000 grand prize!
Watch a promo for Lingo below!
