Joey + Rory's Daughters Representing Them at Grammys

(Radio.com) Joey and Rory Feek won't be attending the 2016 GRAMMY Awards, but they will be sending their daughters to represent them since they're nominated in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category.

The couple's manager and their two daughters Hopie and Heidi will represent Joey + Rory in case they win. Rory shared that they left Nashville for L.A. on Thursday (February 11th).

Joey encouraged her husband to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles. According to his newest blog post on his website This Life I Live, she even went so far as to buy him a plane ticket. He cancelled that ticket, however, sharing, "I can't leave her. I won't."

Instead, Rory has chosen to remain by his wife's bedside and watch the GRAMMYs from home. Rory stated, "[W]e will again gather around Joey's bed and turn the tv-in-the-corner on and watch the Grammy Awards - Joey's mama and daddy and her three sisters and their kids - all of us having a big-time together."

Kip Moore has released a new music video for that track "Running For You". Moore is cast as the male lead in the video that follows him and his leading lady as they face the individual challenges of their respective career paths, culminating in a dramatic Hollywood-style ending, according to the announcement.

Moore tapped his longtime friend PJ Brown to direct the video, though he had never been in the director's chair before. "I've been friends with PJ for years, he was the main one pushing me to chase my passion and move to Nashville," said Moore. "He's been able to document some of my concerts here and there, but we haven't worked together on this level before.

"This song is unlike other songs I've released before and so I wanted the video to be really different from any of my other videos. PJ was able to bring our vision to life and I'm glad that the label let me take a chance on him." Watch the video here.
