Building
on the release of his solo debut with catchy Top 20 hit “Trailer
Hitch,” Bush’s new single “Light Me Up” is an anthemic love song that
has already been spotlighted as a favorite track on APPLE MUSIC, PEOPLE, ETONLINE, and BILLBOARD.COM. The stunning lyric video featuring real couples in love can be viewed HERE.

GRAMMY-winning recording artist has been leaving his mark on music for
more than two decades. The singer, songwriter, producer and
multi-instrumentalist started his career with folk-rock duo Billy
Pilgrim in the early ‘90s; in 2004, he exploded onto the country music
scene with Sugarland, surpassing sales of over 22 million albums
worldwide, achieving five No. 1 singles and winning numerous awards,
including GRAMMYs, AMAs, ACMs, CMT Music Awards and CMAs. To date, Bush
has garnered six BMI Awards for his songwriting, and in 2011 he founded
the music publishing company and songwriting collective Songs of the
Architect. Recent collaborations include Laura Bell Bundy, Larkin Poe,
Dan Tyminski, Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale and more. Bush
is currently serving as a celebrity ambassador for Goodwill Industries
