Lady
Antebellum
will bring a couple of Nashville's
rising stars with them when they
pull into North Platte for their June
21st show during NEBRASKAland
DAYS. Four time Academy of
Country Music Award Nominee Lee
Brice and newcomer Thomas Rhett
have agreed to appear, rounding out
what was already one of the biggest
shows of the summer in Nebraska.
"Lee Brice is a proven talent," said
Concert Chairman Hans Julius. "And
Thomas Rhett's first single is sure to
be one of the most talked about
songs of the year. We couldn't be
more pleased."
Brice is no stranger to success in
country music, but his latest album
"Hard 2 Love" has taken him to a
new level. The album's title track
peaked at the #1 position just weeks
ago, while the first release off from
the album "A Woman Like You" also
reached #1. His first album
produced the top 5 hit "Love Like
Crazy".
Thomas Rhett's latest release "Beer
With Jesus" has reached the top 20
of the country charts. His style
tends to live a little on the
edge....having grown up on country
and hip-hop, elements of both styles
tend to wind up in his some of his
music.
Tickets for Lady Antebellum's
NEBRASKAland DAYS Concert with
Special Guests Lee Brice and
Thomas Rhett are on sale now at
