Lee Brice is living the life he had always dreamed about. The ‘Love Like Crazy’ singer is halfway through the new CMT Tour, which also features headliner Luke Bryan, Josh Thompson and CMT’s ‘Next Superstar’ winner Matt Mason. The tour — which has been selling out on most stops — launched back in September and will continue on through mid-November, hitting arenas coast-to-coast.
“It’s been going awesome,” Brice tells Taste of Country of the tour, which recently rolled through Bowling Green, Ky. “Luke has got such hip fans … young, fun and energetic — and myself and Josh do, too. Everybody here is here to have a good time. It’s turning out to be that. It’s been awesome.”
“It’s a joy to be out with [Josh and Luke] because I’ve been friends with them so long, especially Luke,” Brice continues. “I guess I’ve known Luke for about 10 years. It’s like a dream … we’re buddies and we’re playing music together on the road. This is the stuff you talk about like when you first move to Nashville … ‘One day we’re going to be touring together! One day we’re going to have songs on the radio!’ That’s why it’s so cool to be out here with them.”
Just last week, Brice released his first single from his forthcoming album to country radio, ‘Woman Like You.’ The tune is receiving plenty of positive feedback from fans and peers, already showing signs of being another hit single in his career.
