Nashville, Tenn. (November 2, 2017) – Hard-working Country duo LOCASH are continuing their meteoric ascent with high-profile spots at the CMA Awards and more.
On
November 8, the rising stars – hitmakers Chris Lucas and Preston Brust –
take the podium as hosts of “The 51st Annual CMA Awards” pre-telecast
special. Then later that evening, the unstoppable pair will enjoy their
first CMA Awards as nominees, up for the coveted Vocal Duo of the Year award. The CMA Awards broadcast live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile,
the pair are firing on all cylinders after renewing their Ford dealer
advertising campaign for a second year alongside Comcast Spotlight.
LOCASH recently filmed a commercial for the televised ad campaign that
will air across the country, with more details coming soon.
And
just last weekend (10/27), Lucas and Brust showed their true charitable
colors by teaming with Southern Illinois’ New Country Z100 radio
station to raise an astonishing $64,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital with their seventh annual “Evening With LOCASH” benefit
concert. Yesterday (11/1) the pair performed a private show in Las Vegas
to thank the community’s first responders.
All this news follows the undeniable success of LOCASH’s Reviver Records debut, THE FIGHTERS,
which produced the GOLD-certified hit, “I Love This Life,” and their
first #1 smash, “I Know Somebody.” The album’s third single kept them in
the spotlight, as the flirty romance of “Ring on Every Finger” cracked
the Country Aircheck/Mediabase Top 15, while also pulling in more than 9.7 million Spotify streams and 3 million views on Vevo.
The
duo would like to thank Country radio for their incredible support, and
reveal plans for a whole new batch of music on the horizon. Their next
single “Don’t Get Better Than That” is coming soon, along with another
full album of heartfelt, fun-loving modern Country.
LOCASH
recently rocked massive crowds on Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s SOUL2SOUL
TOUR, and are now set to close out 2017 strong with concerts dates from
Troy, NY (November 30), to Las Vegas, NV (December 10 and 11 during the
National Finals Rodeo). Their final run of the year will also include
three Grand Ole Opry shows at Nashville’s famous Ryman Auditorium,
taking place November 3, November 18 and December 16.
ABOUT LOCASH:
LOCASH
is a Country music duo made up of singer-songwriters Chris Lucas and
Preston Brust, natives of Baltimore, Maryland, and Indianapolis,
Indiana, respectively. With a sound that fuses modern Country and
classic heartland Rock with an edgy vocal blend, the
independently-minded partners are revered as “one of Nashville’s
hardest-working acts” (Rolling Stone) whose live show “has consistently been among the most energetic and entertaining in the country music genre” (Billboard).
With two albums and eight charting singles to their credit, LOCASH
broke out in 2015 with their gracious GOLD-certified hit, “I Love This
Life,” and followed up in 2016 with the flirtatious #1 smash, “I Know
Somebody” – their first trip to the top of the Country radio airplay
charts. Both singles were part of their Reviver Records album debut, THE FIGHTERS,
which was released in the summer of 2016 to Top 15 success. Their next
single, the fun-loving romantic anthem “Ring on Every Finger,” was
co-written by Thomas Rhett, Jesse Frasure, and Josh Kear, and also rose
into Country radio’s Top 15. As songwriters, Lucas and Brust have scored
two undeniable hits (Keith Urban’s #1 “You Gonna Fly” in 2011 and Tim
McGraw’s PLATINUM-certified “Truck Yeah” in 2012). In 2017, they earned
their first round of awards show recognition, nominated at the ACM
Awards for New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year, the CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year (“I Know Somebody”), and the upcoming CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year.
