Two Decades of Championing Country Music Through Digital Media
For over two decades, Shauna “WhiskeyChick” Castorena has been a powerful force in country music media, bridging the gap between artists, fans, and the ever-evolving digital landscape. As the driving force behind Country Music On Tour and Country Music News Blog, her work has helped shape the way country music is consumed, promoted, and experienced online.
A Legacy Built on Passion and Innovation
Since launching her writing career in 2004, Shauna has used her platform to elevate country music storytelling, covering everything from breaking tour announcements to in-depth industry analysis. As a writer, editor, and digital strategist, she has ensured that country music fans always have a reliable source for tour dates, ticket information, and artist news—long before social media took over the industry.
Her pen name, “WhiskeyChick,” has become synonymous with authenticity, insider knowledge, and unwavering passion for the genre. Through thousands of articles, interviews, and tour features, she has provided fans with an unfiltered look at their favorite artists, ensuring that Country Music News Blog (CMNB) and Country Music On Tour (CMOT) remain trusted resources for both fans and industry insiders.
A Direct Line Between Fans and the Stage
Through Country Music On Tour, Shauna has built a comprehensive ticketing hub that allows country music fans to secure seats to the biggest and best concerts across the nation. Unlike generic ticketing sites, CMOT is tailored specifically to country music lovers, ensuring they get the latest tour updates, presale access, and behind-the-scenes insights.
She has successfully positioned CMOT as a one-stop-shop for concertgoers, offering real-time updates on:
- Major artist tour dates (including Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, and more)
- Festival schedules
- Ticket price comparisons through partnerships with Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, and other trusted vendors
- Insider tips on securing the best seats
Her ability to blend SEO expertise with fan-first content has made CMOT a highly-ranked and heavily-trafficked site for country concert searches.
Beyond the Tour: Covering Country Music’s Biggest Moments
While CMOT keeps fans connected to the live music experience, Country Music News Blog (CMNB) has played a pivotal role in shaping country music journalism. Shauna has used CMNB to:
- Break major news on album releases, artist milestones, and industry trends
- Provide sharp editorial takes on the evolution of country music, from traditional roots to modern crossover hits
- Spotlight rising artists and independent acts that mainstream outlets often overlook
- Debunk industry rumors and keep fans informed with fact-based reporting
Unlike mainstream country news sites that focus on corporate narratives, Shauna has built CMNB as a place where country music is celebrated without industry bias, keeping fans first, always.

Long before the era of TikTok virality and social media influencers, Shauna understood the power of digital storytelling. She built a successful revenue model for both blogs, utilizing:
Affiliate marketing through ticket sales, merchandise, and event partnerships
Google AdSense & Sponsored Content to provide monetization without compromising authenticity
SEO-driven journalism, ensuring her work consistently ranks for high-traffic country music searches

Over the years, artists, labels, and publicists have recognized the value of working with Shauna. She has become a trusted source for industry professionals, offering:
- Tour promotion & sponsorship opportunities
- Press coverage for emerging and established artists

Her ability to understand both the fan perspective and industry dynamics makes her work an invaluable asset to the country music ecosystem.
