About Brett Young
From his self-titled debut in 2017, Brett Young has captured the hearts of fans everywhere through his honest lyrics and West Coast-meets-Southern sound, aptly dubbed “Caliville” style. With an impressive string of seven No. 1 hits – “In Case You Didn’t Know” (DIAMOND), “Mercy” (4X PLATINUM), “Sleep Without You” (2X PLATINUM), “Like I Loved You” (2X PLATINUM), “Here Tonight” (2X PLATINUM), “Catch” (PLATINUM) and “Lady” (PLATINUM) – and multiple hit albums defined by an undeniable romantic spark, he has cemented his status as a master of matters of the heart. Following his acclaimed second studio album, Ticket To L.A., Brett broadened his emotional scope on Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, which features “You Didn’t” (GOLD) and “Lady,” whose lyrics inspired Brett’s debut children’s book “Love You, Little Lady,” published by Tommy Nelson (an imprint of HarperCollins). One of only four modern Country artists to have their first seven singles go No. 1, Young debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his GOLD-certified Ticket To L.A. while his PLATINUM self-titled debut dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks, all contributing to over 8.1 billion global streams to date. In 2018, Young was named ACM’s New Male Artist of the Year and ASCAP’s Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftsmanship” (Billboard) and garnered nominations from Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards, while continuing to amass non-stop hits as “one of Country’s most consistent radio stars” (Rolling Stone). He released his first holiday album Brett Young & Friends Sing the Christmas Classics, with special guests including Darius Rucker, Maddie & Tae and Colbie Caillat in 2021, and co-wrote “Long Way Home (From The Motion Picture ‘Father Stu’)” with Shay Mooney and Bear Rinehart, featured in Sony Pictures’ 2022 film
starring Academy Award Nominee® Mark Wahlberg. His successful Caliville collection of casual wear is available exclusively at Kohl’s and online at caliville | Kohl’s (kohls.com). An acoustic version of his fourth studio album, Across The Sheets (Barefoot Edition), and music video for his single, “Dance With You,” are out now. Young will soon embark on his Back To Basics World Tour 2025 which will find him doing what he does best with a stripped back, more personal concert experience that lets the music shine. The tour will make stops throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, the EU and the UK. For a full list of tour dates and more, visit BrettYoungMusic.com.
About Ashley McBryde
GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Records Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and
more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Her follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for
Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award
season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all
the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was also honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville featuring Brothers Osborne, Brandy Clark, Pillbox Patti, Caylee Hammack, Aaron Raitiere and Benjy Davis earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time GRAMMY nominee. The project earned McBryde her second consecutive nomination for CMA Album of the Year, along with Music Video of the Year for “Light On In The Kitchen” from her latest critically acclaimed album, The Devil I Know.
