The Lee Brice/Chris Young duo started in 2013, when the two joined Brad Paisley’s Beat This Summer tour as openers, and Young admitted it was an amazing experience.
“Lee and I had a blast last year when we were out with Brad,” Young said. “And so we thought it would be great to join up for a co-headlining tour for our fans this winter.”

As to Lee Brice, which in 2013 The New York Times called “a sensitive macho man”, he is equally excited about hitting the road with Chris Young.
“Chris and I have been talking about touring together for a long time,” Brice told Rolling Stone Country earlier this week, during a break in tour rehearsals. “He’s a blast to be on the road with, and I’m glad we were able to make this happen. We’re both pretty excited to get out there and see everyone — from New York to Hawaii — later this spring.”

2014 was good to Lee Brice, who scored the year’s first platinum-selling country hit with the title track from his third album, “I Don’t Dance”.
Meanwhile, Chris Young did a little chart climbing of his own, sending “Who I Am With You” to Number One and teeing up another song, “Lonely Eyes,” to become his seventh chart-topper in 2015.
The co-headlining tour, that stretches from the Northeast to the South Pacific, kicked off last weekend!
