Update: On Jan. 27, promoters of the show announced a new opening act with the following news release: "Curb recording artist Lee Brice was ready celebrate the New Year by launching his "Life Off My Years" concert tour with his good friend and running buddy Tyler Farr — and Dylan Scott — beginning Feb. 4 in Salisbury, MD. But, with Farr undergoing emergency vocal chord surgery and enforced vocal rest, the Academy of Country Music Song and Single of the Year winner is forced to give his friend time to heal and has tapped CMA winners Maddie & Tae to fill Farr’s boots."
On Nov. 15, country artist Lee Brice played at Brewhouse Music & Grill in Rome, Ga. The concert sold out minutes after it was announced, and was significant in that it marked the 50th state in which Brice had played in 2015. He also played Wisconsin State Fair last year with Chris Young in August.
This year, Brice will headline the "Life Off My Years" tour and bring his show back to Wisconsin to the Milwaukee Theatre on April 7. The tour was announced in November, but the venue finalized today. The show begins at 7:30 p.m.
The tour, featuring Brice's longtime friend and Columbia Nashville’s Tyler Farr, begins in Salisbury, Md., on Thursday, Feb. 4, and will stop in 21 U.S. cities. Dylan Scott also is on the bill.
Brice, 36, is still riding high off a huge 2014 that saw him record two number one singles, "I Don't Dance" and "Drinking Class." His 2010 hit, "Love Like Crazy," was the top country song of that year. He starred in Farr's video for "Red Neck Crazy" and is currently enjoying air play with his latest single, "That Don't Sound Like You."
Pre-sale begins Wednesday, Jan. 27. Tickets begin at $29.75 and officially go on sale Friday, Jan. 29 at 10 a.m.
