About Lee Brice:
When Lee Brice isn’t selling-out arenas, writing and recording
songs or building a new brand like American Born whiskey — you’ll find
him with his wife Sara, two young boys Takoda (9) and Ryker (3), and new
daughter Trulee Nanette, born in June. Lee’s new single, “Boy,” is a
tribute to his sons who appear in the song’s endearing music video,
viewable here.
With 11 million in RIAA certified sales — each of Lee’s albums has been certified Gold: Love Like Crazy (2010), Hard2Love (2012) and I Don’t Dance
(2014), with “I Don’t Dance” holding a double-platinum certification
for single sales. Lee is a Grammy nominee, a CMA and ACM award winner
and he’s taken five radio singles to #1: “A Woman Like You,” “Hard To
Love,” “I Drive Your Truck,” “I Don’t Dance,” and “Drinking Class.”
Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney and others have recorded his
songs, and he’s performed on NBC’s Today, ABC’s The Bachelor and The
Late Show with David Letterman. The New York Times says he’s an “evocative” vocalist and USA Today calls him “one of the finest singer-songwriters country music has to offer.”
Lee’s next album, a self-titled studio project he co-produced, will be out Nov. 3 on Curb Records.
