LEE BRICE PARTNERS WITH NRACOUNTRY
Nashville, TN (March 17, 2011) – Three-time ACM nominee Lee Brice is the latest addition to the NRACountry family of country music stars. NRACountry is a partnership between the National Rifle Association and the hottest talent in country music. Lee joins fellow country musicians Trace Adkins, Luke Bryan, Justin Moore and Blake Shelton among others.
NRACountry held its kickoff event in June during the 2010 CMA Music Festival with a sporting clay shoot fundraiser, which raised $30,000 towards the Middle Tennessee flood relief efforts. It is charity events like these that encouraged Lee Brice to join the NRACountry team. “After seeing the strong ties that NRACountry has to charity work and the classic American values they’re celebrating, of course I agreed to take part,” Brice stated, “I stand behind their work and am excited to begin this partnership.”
“Lee Brice is a great addition to the NRACountry family. He is a talented star whose music moves millions of people across the globe. Stateside, Lee’s legions of fans are inspired by his steadfast principles and love of country. Lee Brice’s music, his words and his deeds will inspire a new generation of young Americans to stand up for freedom,” said Wayne LaPierre, NRA’s executive vice president.
