Lee Brice is having quite the moment on “The Will Cain Show,” as he embraces the sun and warmth of Tennessee after a rather chilly start to his tour up north. This country music star isn’t just any performer. He’s a platinum-selling artist, a nominee for the prestigious Grammy Awards, and a winner of both CMA and ACM awards. As he chats with Will Cain, it’s clear that he’s buzzed about both his tour and the ever-growing love for country music across America.
It seems like not too long ago, Lee Brice was up before the crack of dawn performing for FOX & Friends at Fort Hood, Texas. There he was, getting country boots rockin’ before most people had had their morning coffee. Performing for the U.S. Army, he noted how the troops were more than ready to rock. Maybe they just needed some Lee Brice tunes to start their day off right!
Will Cain and Brice chat about how the country genre has been on a hot streak for a while? It’s not just about the melodies and rhythms; it’s the cultural essence that’s captured America’s heart. Shows like “Yellowstone” are bringing the cowboy boots and the rugged charm back to the forefront. It seems people are yearning for that simpler vision of America, the one depicted in both music and on-screen. Lee muses that folks are craving the roots of country music—honesty, genuine emotion, faith, and patriotism.
Home Sweet Home in Tennessee is always a happy spot for Brice, although there’s talk of Texas making a big play for the country’s capital crown. Sure, Austin’s got its vibe, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Nashville, with its revered Ryman Auditorium, remains the undisputed church of country music. Lee shares a fondness for Texas, having spent plenty of time there, but Nashville’s got his heart when it comes to music.
Amidst all this talk of tours and Texas, there’s a new song on Lee’s mind called “Cry.” It’s a piece close to his heart as it taps into the seldom-discussed topic of men expressing vulnerability. Brice sees his music as a vehicle for guys who find it hard to voice their emotions. With his latest tour, titled “You, Me, My Guitar,” and the wave of excitement it’s already riding, it’s safe to say that Lee Brice is having one heck of a year. So, stay tuned, America, because it looks like country music—and this cowboy—are bound to keep winning your hearts.
