Kane Brown and John Legend Collaborate on “Last Time I Say Sorry”

Kane Brown John Legend

This new collaboration with Kane Brown and John Legend is everything the music world needs in its discography: a quick-rise-to-the-charts country artist that is described to have a voice unparalleled to its vessel and a warm-hearted master that calms the souls of those fortunate enough to listen.

The arrangement of this track is perfect. It’s a tricky business when a singer lends his or her voice to a song because of the delicacy of music production. However, “Last Time I Say Sorry” delivers two things to make it an accomplished partner piece.  First, each artist is given the space to sign their name, as if it was their own, by utilizing their signature styles. For example, Legend sets the stage as if it’s a classic dedication to his wife, Chrissy Teigen, and attends to his soulful runs before Brown comes into the lead singer role for the second half of the verse.

Secondly, the chorus is where these incredibly respected and admired musicians join to portray the chemistry, that is evident within the track, first-hand. This is where Legend explores background vocals, still maintaining his artistic tendencies. At the same time, Brown is on brand and executes his laid back, storytelling abilities.

“I won’t say I’m sorry over and over / Can’t just say I’m sorry, I’ve gotta show you / I won’t do it again, I’ll prove my love is true / I hope the last time I said sorry / Is the last time I said sorry to you”

Together, Brown and Legend are truly iconic. These men show vulnerability, regret, love, and compassion while, at the same time, showcase their strength and masculinity. In response, a widely successful partnership is created. The mature vocals solidify this production and provide listeners with a raw, deep surge of something genius.

You can catch Kane Brown and John Legend debut “Last Time I Say Sorry” during the ACM “Our Country” special broadcast on Sunday, April 5th at 8 pm CT on CBS.

NYCS First Impression: Restless Road EP

Restless Road

The comeback for country band, Restless Road starts right now. The trio of Zach Beeken, Colton Pack and Garrett Nichols released their self-titled, debut EP on Friday including the soon-to-be smash hit “Take Me Home” featuring country superstar, Kane Brown. This band’s journey has been a long and winding road (fitting with their name) that, at one point, looked like it was coming to an end. But with the help of Brown, Restless Road was given a new life with the likelihood of more success than they ever could have imagined.

The first track, titled “One Step Ahead”, was written by Beeken, Nichols, Jim Beavers, Lindsay Rimes and former band member, Jared Keim. Using their mixed vocal ranges in harmony, the guys inform the girl in the song that whatever she wants, it has already been taken care of.

“If you need your kisses to last a little longer/ If you need your heartbeat to beat a little stronger / Don’t worry that pretty little mind, I’m already ready / Yeah baby, I’m one step ahead”

The second track, “Take Me Home” will most likely be the biggest hit off the EP. Featuring Brown, the song puts a more modern spin on John Denver’s “Take Me Home Country Roads”. Instead of West Virginia being home, home is where this girl is. The song’s protagonist cites the reason for his band’s little success on the road was due to them not being together. Watch the music video below:

“Take me home, take me home / To a place, I belong / Cause I miss ya, and I wish ya / would take me home, take me home”

Penned by Beeken, Nichols, Keim, Kyle Fishman, and Michael Whitworth, the third track, “All the Girls” is dedicated to, you guessed it, all the girls. The modern sound of this song is complimented by steel guitar in the background and a fiddle solo during the bridge.

“Why ya think that we been working all week / Who ya think we going out to meet / Why ya think we got a shotgun seat / All the girls”

The final track, “It Ain’t Easy” is their most vulnerable one. Written by Beeken, Nichols, Keim, Justin Wilson, Jacob Durrett, and Steve Bogard, it discusses how difficult life can be when you are starting to look for jobs, move out of your parents’ house and date seriously. This song can relate to almost any young adult beginning to go through this process. The final chorus is more personal to them and their journey to becoming a band.

“Learn to strum this old guitar / Pay the rent from a tip jar / Write a 3-chord country song that’s got some feelin’ / Sounds simple, but it ain’t easy”

Beeken, Pack and Brown all auditioned for the X-Factor in 2013 but got eliminated before making the top-40. However, the judges liked Beeken and Pack so much that they decided to bring them back for season three and have them audition as a trio with another contestant, Andrew Scholz. They finished in fourth place.

This led them to move to Nashville with the goal of becoming singer/songwriters and maybe even getting signed to a record deal. With a little luck, the band was on the verge of calling it quits before Brown came across Pack’s cover of “Good As You.” He then pitched the trio a song he saved and never recorded, “Take Me Home.” You can watch more of their story in this video below:

Brown invited Restless Road to join him on his Worldwide Beautiful Tour with special guests Chris Lane and Russell Dickerson which kicked off in Atlantic City on February 29th. Check out a full recap of the night here.  For more tour dates, head to their website.

Kane Brown Kicks Off The Worldwide Beautiful Tour with Sold Out Show

Saturday night (Feb 29.) country music fans came out in droves to catch the first night of Kane Brown’s ‘The Worldwide Beautiful’ Tour. Joining the multi-platinum selling artist for the sold-out show were Russell Dickerson and Chris Lane (who will rotate on the direct support slot throughout the tour) and country music’s hottest new trio, Restless Road.

Zach Beeken, Colton Pack and Garrett Nichols, the three band members who make up Restless Road, took the stage first, tasked with warming up the eager crowd. Earlier this week, news broke that Kane Brown had signed the trio as the flagship artist to his yet to be named record label. The announcement comes as a full-circle moment for Brown and the band as Brown initially met Beeken and Pack back in 2013 while competing on The X Factor, Brown’s first claim to fame.

Performing a mash-up of 90’s country hits including Toby Keith’s “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” and George Strait’s “Check Yes Or No”, Restless Road instantly captivated the already packed venue. In addition to the flawless medley, the group used their time on stage to introduce tracks from their brand new self-titled debut EP including “All the Girls” and “It Ain’t Easy”. Showcasing their impeccable harmonies and charm, the group quickly earned their spot on the tour.

ACM New Male Artist of the Year nominee and NYCountry Swag OG, Russell Dickerson took the stage next. The singer-songwriter opened his set with a brand new, unreleased song “Never Get Old” before diving right into his third number-one single, “Every Little Thing”. Fans erupted with screams and applause immediately as they recognized those first few familiar notes of the hit song. As Dickerson ran from one side of the stage to the other, the entire venue screamed back every single word.

After releasing his latest single, “Love You Like I Used To”, just about three weeks ago, Dickerson impressed as fans sang along to the brand new song, proving that the track is sure to have success as it makes it’s way to radio.

Dickerson kept the energy high performing crowd-favorites like “Billions” and “Blue Tacoma.” Just when you thought the set could not get any better, the future Entertainer of the Year revealed his mash-up of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”, Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and his own track from his debut album, “MGNO.” The epic performance has become a staple in Dickerson’s set. As he belted out the iconic vocals, while dancing on stage, the audience fed right off of his contagious energy jumping up and down and waving their arms, making the special moment perhaps the most energetic medley in country music shows today.

“…This is my first song that I ever put out. Thank you country radio, but first & foremost, thank you country music fans, the best fans in the entire world….” Dickerson emotionally thanked the crowd just before closing his set with a spectacular performance of his breakthrough smash hit, “Yours”.

Next to the stage was platinum artist, Chris Lane. Kicking off his set with his debut number one song, “Fix”, Lane immediately connected with the audience while showing off his undeniable swagger. Whether it was his version of Mario’s “Let Me Love You” or a special moment in the set when he hand-picked a young fan in the audience to join him on-stage as he performed “For Her”, Lane won the hearts of every fan in the room.

What’s most interesting about Lane is his versatility as an artist, not only in the tracks he chooses to cover but in his own songs as well. Lane can transition to performing songs from his catalog of music including fan favorites like “I Don’t Know About You” and “Big, Big Plans” to his mash-up of wide-ranging covers including everything from Alan Jackson’s “Chattahoochee” to Nelly’s “Ride Wit Me”. The way that the fans immersed in each of the tracks throughout the very dynamic set is what was most impressive. Unphased by the rollercoaster of the genres being blended, fans didn’t miss a beat of the exciting performance. For those newcomers in the audience expecting to catch a typical traditional country show, Lane pretty much set the tone for what was to be expected for the remainder of the night.

Kicking off night one of his headlining tour, Kane Brown surprised the crowd by dropping in from high above the stage, instantly creating screams and applause from his beloved fans. Keeping up with the momentum that his opening acts had set, Brown kept the crowd going opening with his upbeat third number-one single, “Lose It”.

Brown continued to impress song after song through his 75-minute set, playing crowd favorites like “What Ifs” and “Used to Love You Sober”. A highlight of the night came when a rare downtempo moment happened as Brown took a stool centerstage accompanied by two bandmates for an acoustic set. Brown displayed his emotional side and stunned the crowd as he sang “For My Daughter.” The budding country superstar wrote the tear-jerking song for his 4-month-baby girl as a promise to be the best dad he can be, unlike his own father.

Throughout the night Brown debuted not one, but two unreleased songs: “Vodka Cranberry” and “Be Like That“. The latter of which, he teased a possible collaboration and noted that the song would not only be released sometime in March, but it would also be his next single to radio. Judging from his performance and the crowd’s reaction, the song sounds like it will be an instant smash. Check out a sneak peek of both tracks in our exclusive videos.

When it came time for some covers, like Chris Lane, Brown showed off his ability to sing to a multitude of fans. Stunning the crowd with his flawless vocals as he sang “Drift Away” originally recorded by Dobie Gray, the 26-year-old then explained to the crowd how excited he was to take everyone back to middle school before singing, Soulja Boy’s “Crank That (Soulja Boy).” Ending his medley with Blackbear’s Top 40 hit, “Hot Girl Bummer”, Brown had every fan in the room out of their seats and jamming along to the unexpected mix of tunes.

Later in the show, Brown brought Restless Road back out to perform their collaborative soon-to-be smash hit, “Take Me Home”. Check it out in the video below.

The energy throughout Brown’s set was absolutely electric and with each song it only got higher. As Brown proceeded to sing “Pull It Off”, a track from his 2016 self-titled major-label debut album, he invited back Russell Dickerson and Chris Lane to the stage causing the entire arena to erupt.

Ending with “Heaven” and “One Thing Right” the Sony Nashville recording artist returned on a B stage at the back of the arena in an encore to sing “Good As You” before returning centerstage to close out the epic show.

The journey Brown takes fans on throughout his show proves his authenticity to his artistry. Taking moments to thank his fans, share stories of his upbringing and influences, and even sharing an emotional and vulnerable moment by admitting to being really nervous about this tour. The fans’ devotion to Brown remained clear throughout the entire night as fans stayed out of their seats and matched Brown’s energy, dancing and singing along to every song, and listening to every word.

In a December 2016 review of one of Brown’s very first NYC shows at Irving Plaza, we wrote of Brown “This promising talent possesses perhaps one of the most unique new voices in country music today and shows true potential for a skyrocketing career.” It seems we may have hit that nail on the head as Brown’s career continues to explode.

Restless Road Stun with Performance of “Take Me Home” ft. Kane Brown

Just days after being announced as Kane Brown’s flagship artist on his new record label, Restless Road not only debuted a brand new EP, but they also joined Brown on the launch of his Worldwide Beautiful Tour. As the tour kicked off, the trio took the stage during it’s opening night at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall. Introducing themselves to Brown’s sold-out audience, the trio stunned the crowd with their impeccable vocals.

The new intriguing tune is a hit in the making, relying on outstanding vocals and a nostalgic feel to entice listeners. The beginning of the song starts with a familiar tune, both lyrically and sonically with “Take me home, take me home / To a place, I belong.” Of course, those lyrics are a modern take on John Denver’s iconic “Take Me Home Country Roads.” The group changes it up, singing about heading home to where a special girl is, rather than West Virginia.

Check it out in the video below from the Atlantic City show.

 

Brown lends his vocals to the second verse, adding some flavor and dimension to the already dazzling song. When we caught the live version over the weekend at the show, we couldn’t help but notice the chemistry the four talented men had on stage and the passion they all share for country music and their fans.

“Lights in my rearview almost gone / Thought I could make it / Man, was I wrong / Out on my own I Could only get so far / Then I realized I needed to be where you are”

Kane Brown Previews New Unreleased Song, “Vodka Cranberry”

Saturday, February 29, 2020, Kane Brown kicked off the first night of his Worldwide Beautiful Tour with a sold-out show at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. During the country superstar’s high-energy set, Brown surprised fans by debuting some new music including this unreleased track, “Vodka Cranberry”.

Check it out in the video below.

 

The lyrics describe a night at the club and the couple in the song blame their wild night of dancing on the high number of vodka cranberries they consumed. Its sound is reminiscent of Thomas Rhett’s “Don’t Threaten Me with a Good Time” as it is very funk-influenced and could get the crowd at a disco up on their feet. Its electro beat mixed with Brown southern vocals give it a unique sound.

In addition to “Vodka Cranberry”, Brown debuted a second unreleased track titled, “Be Like That”. Check it out here.

Kane Brown Debuts Brand New, Unreleased Song, “Be Like That”

During the opening night of Kane Brown’s Worldwide Beautiful Tour, the country superstar debuted a brand new track called, “Be Like That”. Brown prefaced the song, claiming that it would officially be released sometime in March and would be his next single to pop radio.

Check it out in the video below.

 

“Be Like That” is another heavily produced track in which the singer describes his complicated relationship. He hates constantly texting her and thinks he might be better off on his own but at the same time he says he’s not himself without her and he would never be able to move on if they broke up.  This is a common scenario that is not often expressed. The usual situation described in country music involves two people who have broken up but after a few drinks, they make an overnight mistake which leads them to evaluate their status. Brown calls attention to what’s going through the mind of someone in that relationship rather than what that person is doing to get over it.

He raps the bridge of the song and at the show, he teased a possible collaboration for the studio version of this track and mentioned it will be released sometime this month.

In addition to “Be Like That”, Brown debuted a second unreleased track titled, “Vodka Cranberry”. Check it out here.

Amazon Music Mini Documentary on Kane Brown, ‘Velocity’

Kane Brown

Kane Brown has all the attributes to become a megastar in country music, and from the moment he stepped on stage, everyone knew he was going to blow up someday – we just didn’t know it was going to be this quickly. Titled “Velocity”, for the speed at which Brown’s career took off, Amazon Music released a mini-documentary on his career, covering everything from singing covers on Facebook to selling out the Staples Center in Los Angeles and becoming one of Nashville’s brightest stars. Watch the whole thing below.

“I was just messing around, I don’t even think I was trying to make a career out of it,” Brown said of his viral Facebook videos. “I was working two jobs just trying to afford my truck…I was never thinking a record label would hit me up or anything.”

Brown attended five different high schools growing up, so his following on social media was very large to begin with. He studied up on how to go viral, but he didn’t feel it was working until he woke up one morning to see one of his videos had tons of views. According to his manager, Martha Earls, at one point he was growing by almost 20,000 followers a day.

“The next question is: are people be willing to get out from behind their computer and come out to a show,” Earls pondered. “The first show we did in Darlington, South Carolina…we put it on sale and it sold out in like 20 minutes.” Another attribute that makes Brown so successful is his ability to connect with his fans. He would stay late after each show and meet every single fan who waited to see him. His stardom quickly spread across the nation and he got his first shot of playing amphitheaters when he was the first act on Florida Georgia Line’s Dig Your Roots Tour in 2016.

“So many people laugh at when you do those amphitheater tours because you’re on at seven o’clock and it’s still light out and no one is in the stands,” Brown’s day-day manager, Nikki Boon claimed. “But those seats were full, every single night…everyone wanted to see Kane.” Brown said he’s now more comfortable playing large theaters and arenas than small, intimate clubs.

Brown became a new man when his wife Katelyn gave birth to their daughter, Kingsley. It has allowed him to grow from boy into a man and completely change his outlook on life for the better. “Growing up without a dad is a very traumatic experience,” Brown’s barber and friend, CT Kutz commented. “His call right now is to change that narrative.” “Just being a dad that’s always there will be a huge part of her life and I can give her anything she wants,” Brown said proudly. “She’s my life.”

The Staples Center show was scheduled to be the last stop in 2019 for Brown and his crew; a memorable way to close out his first headlining-arena tour. The show got pushed back due to the sudden passing of his drummer and good friend, Kenny Dixon.
“Those moments either break you or pull you together and I think our team had a realization of how close we are and how much we needed each other,” Earls stated.

The documentary ends with clips from the sold-out Staples Center show. It puts into perspective how much Brown has grown in such little amount of time. It’s a testament to his talent, hard work, dedication and showmanship and the way we see it, his career has only just begun.

[Listen] Kane Brown Teases New Duet with John Legend

It has only been two weeks into the new year, and country artists are already giving fans so much to be excited about. Straight off the heels of his iconic, sold-out Staples Center show, Kane Brown teased a new song on his social media, which features none other than superstar John Legend.

The two singers releasing a song together is truly the collaboration we never knew we always needed and wanted! The emotive and touching unreleased tune is the perfect combination of Legend’s extraordinary vocals and Brown’s unique talent. Co-written by the duo, the song is a reflective ballad that pulls at the heartstrings. Listen to the teaser below!

 

“I won’t say I’m sorry over and over / Can’t just say I’m sorry, I’ve got to show you /I won’t do it again / I’ll prove my love is true / I hope the last time I said sorry is the last time I’ll say sorry to you.”

The soon to be released track marks Brown’s fourth cross-over jam, including his song with Camila Cabello “Never Be the Same,” “Saturday Nights” with Khalid,” and of course the number one smash hit “One Thing Right” fearing EDM DJ, Marshmello. Brown is clearly unafraid to evolve his sound and venture into new and exciting territory with his music, and we love it!

Kane Brown Releases “For My Daughter” A Stunning Tribute To Kingsley

For My Daughter

Photo Credit Alex Alvga

On October 29th, rising star Kane Brown’s first daughter was born. On November 1st, just three days after the birth of Kingsley Rose, he released the heartfelt tribute, “For My Daughter”, written in the style of a letter for his little girl. “I wrote this song when I found out we were officially going to become parents. I meant every word, and cannot wait to watch her grow up,” Brown shared in a press release.”

He first teased the song on October 7th, explaining to fans that it would be released as soon as his daughter was born. There was an immediate response: 7,000 comments and counting on the first teaser. For the past 24 hours, Brown has been trending on iTunes, listeners eagerly awaiting the arrival of the track.

It did not disappoint. The song is co-written by Brown with frequent collaborator Chase McGill and songwriting legend Tom Douglas, and the verses are like a conversation just between Brown and his daughter.

“And not just say I love you but show you what it means/I grew up without a dad, I’m gonna be the best one I can be,” he sings on the first verse. The chorus is where he promises Kingsley that he’s going to break the cycle and drive down his path, telling her that history doesn’t have to repeat itself.

The production on “For My Daughter” is stunning. The song opens with swelling harmonic fiddles and guitar, and it transcends through the verses and choruses. It’s produced by Dann Huff, who has mastered the sound of 2019 style neo-country. It works wonderfully paired with the content of the song, as to let the lyrics and story shine the most throughout.

“For My Daughter” is the most personal, confessional song Brown’s released, and yet there’s nothing too on-the-nose about it. It’s touching, thoughtful & just the right amount of personality mixed with universality. This song may or may not become a radio hit, but it will always be the first song Brown wrote for Kingsley, and that has priceless value and longevity.

To keep up with Kane Brown, you can find him on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. To catch him on tour, go to his website linked here.

“For My Daughter” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

“For My Daughter” Lyrics:
Someone to play catch with out back in the yard
To pick up the pieces of your first broken heart
Someone to say slow down when you turn sixteen
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
Someone to scare the monsters, when it’s dark in your room
Someone to put their foot down when you want a tattoo
Not just say I love you but show you what it means
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
They say dad’s are supposed to shape you and in a way I guess mine did
I knew what I wouldn’t do if I ever had a kid
They say history repeats itself well I guess that’s up to me
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
Someone to let you fall down and teach you how to get back up
Teach you how to be sweet like mamma and how to be tough
I’ll never be perfect but sure as those lines are pink
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
(Repeat chorus)
I can’t change the past but the past has sure changed me
I grew up without a dad I’m gonna be the best one I can be
Yeah I’m gonna be a dad and I’m gonna be the best one I can be

Jason Aldean, Kane Brown & Carly Pearce Impress Fans at Jones Beach

Country music fans piled into Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh on a cold, windy night to catch Jason Aldean’s Ride All Night Tour on Friday featuring special guests, Kane Brown and Carly Pearce.  Carly Pearce opened her set with “Careless” and “Catch Fire”, songs from her debut album Every Little Thing. She then switched gears and covered Garth Brooks’ “Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up)”. Pearce released her most recent single, “Closer to You” over ten months ago, which she included in her set, but not before performing an unreleased song titled “Heart Going Out of Style”. We can expect the CMA New Artist of the Year nominee to release the track sometime in the upcoming weeks. “Thanks to the fans and country radio, you guys changed my life with this next song,” Pearce praised before singing her number one hit, “Every Little Thing”. Pearce closed her set with her other smash hit, “Hide the Wine”.

 

Kane Brown was next up, opening with the first track on his newest album Experiment, “Baby Come Back to Me”. Brown mentioned that the wind was knocking off his hat and blowing him all over stage but that wasn’t going to stop him and his band from putting on “a hell of a show”. The cheers grew louder when the crowd heard the opening guitar riff to Brown’s first number one song, “What Ifs”.

After “Weekend”, Brown went back to another number one in “Good As You”. He noticed the crowd was really into it so he held the mic out and let the fans sing the second to last chorus. Just like he did at the PNC Bank Arts Center, Brown performed “Short Skirt Weather” karaoke-style, as the words were displayed on the side screens.

Brown substituted two new songs to the setlist from the PNC show, “Rodeo”, which was added to Experiment on July 12th and his collaboration track with EDM artist Marshmello, “One Thing Right”. Brown joked that most of the crowd probably never heard of Marshmello, being that this was a country crowd. In between those songs was his current single, “Homesick”, a song in which he dedicated to the military. “The first verse I wanted to dedicate to the military…Thank y’all for everything you do; I know y’all get homesick more than anybody.”

Brown closed his set with back to back number one songs in “Heaven” and “Lose It”. Lars Thorson displayed his skills on fiddle with an immaculate solo in between songs. Pearce, Brown and their bands provided enough energy to prepare the audience for the party Jason Aldean was about to bring.

Aldean came out to “Take A Little Ride”, fitting for the Ride All Night Tour, followed by “Tattoos on This Town”, “Fly Over States” and “A Little More Summertime”. Aldean took a break from the music to give the crowd a rundown of how the night was going to go: “So tonight we’re going to play you some songs from the Rearview album, we’re going to go all the way back to 2005 and play some songs off the very first album. There were about six albums in between and we’re going to play you guys some songs from all those albums tonight so it’s going to be a lot of fun, we’re going to be here for a while. We might have a new album coming out and we might play you some songs off of that tonight.”

Aldean kept the good time going with songs such as “Crazy Town”, “Amarillo Sky”, “Burning It Down”, “Big Green Tractor” and more before giving the fans what they were anxiously waiting for: the new Jason Aldean song. “Over the last album or two we put out a lot of slower songs…which is cool; I love those songs but I also love a little bit of rock n’ roll, you know what I’m saying?” Aldean then performed “We Back” for the rowdy Jones Beach crowd.

The next section of songs included number one hits such as “Night Train”, “When She Says Baby”, “Drowns the Whiskey”, “Lights Come On” and more. Aldean stopped again to tell the crowd his opinion on encores at concerts: “I for one, think it’s a complete waste of time and complete bull****. Here’s the way I like to do things and let me know if you guys are cool with it. I say we just play everything we got and when the show’s over, it’s just over. How does that sound?” The audience seemed to be okay with it as they cheered Aldean on as the three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year took a shot of tequila and continued his set. He continued that set with “My Kinda Party”, “Hicktown”, “Dirt Road Anthem” and “She’s Country”.

Aldean slowed it down one last time to perform “You Make It Easy” before going right back to a party song in “The Only Way I Know”. Aldean was on stage for an hour and a half, performing a total of 23 songs.

You can catch Aldean and company at various US cities up until October 11th, where he will play the final country show at Globe Life Park in Arlington before the baseball stadium shuts down permanently and the Texas Rangers get a new ballpark.  For the remaining tour dates head to https://www.jasonaldean.com/
