Earlier this week, Brown joined “CBS This Morning” anchors Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil to discuss his two ACM nominations and the launch of his Blessed & Free Tour. Brown was surprised on-air with the news of his official win for ACM Video of the Year for “Worldwide Beautiful,” his first ACM award. Brown is also nominated for album of the year and will perform “Famous Friends” with Chris Young at the ACM Awards on Sunday April 18, 8/7 pm Central Time on CBS and Paramount+.
Last night, Kane Brown performed “Worldwide Beautiful” on “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, where he will bring the Blessed & Free Tour on Oct. 16. Watch the interview and performance HERE .
Brown will kick off his Blessed & Free Tour Oct. 1 in Sacramento, CA. A life-long basketball fan and former high school athlete, he first hinted at the tour when he played at the 2020 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Chicago. Brown is among a handful of country artists in the arena’s 20-year history to sell out the venue. In addition to the NBA arenas, The Blessed & Free Tour will make stops in Nampa, State College, Louisville, Pittsburgh, and Seattle at the brand new Climate Pledge Arena before wrapping the tour in Las Vegas. Jordan Davis will join Brown as support for all 2021 tour dates, with Chase Rice joining the tour in 2022. Restless Road, who Brown signed to his label, 1021 Entertainment (a Sony Music Nashville joint venture), will open all shows the tour. The tour is being promoted by AEG Presents.

Noted as the “future of country” (Billboard) and one of “31 People Changing the South” (Time), the chart-topping entertainer recently earned his first ACM Album of the Year nomination for Mixtape Vol. 1, as well as a Video of the Year nomination for his anthem “Worldwide Beautiful.” In November 2016, Brown entered the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart with his self-titled 2X Platinum debut album. Brown made history almost a year later as the first artist ever to lead all five Billboard main country charts simultaneously which can be attributed to his 13-week-No. 1 Kane Brown Deluxe Version album including the huge hits “Heaven” and “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina. Respectively the third and seventh most-streamed country songs of all time (U.S. Nielsen Country On-Demand Streams chart), “Heaven” and “What Ifs” both have exceeded 1 billion streams worldwide. And remarkably, upon the two songs receiving 6X Platinum award upgrades, Brown joined Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan as the only artists with multiple 6X Platinum or more country songs certified by the RIAA. With the chart-topping Billboard 200 release Experiment in November 2018, Brown became the only male country artist in more than 24 years to have his sophomore album debut at the top of this chart. The Platinum-certified long-player has yielded three consecutive No. 1 and 2X Platinum singles – “Lose It,” “Good As You” and “Homesick.” Brown’s Mixtape Vol. 1 EP features his newest country solo single, “Worship You,” his previous country smash, “Cool Again,” and the Platinum-certified No. 7 Top 40 single, “Be Like That,” a collaboration with Swae Lee and Khalid. Fueled by Marathon, Blessed & Free marks the first tour for Brown since his Worldwide Beautiful Tour.

About Jordan Davis
MCA Nashville’s Jordan Davis has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Billboard, Rolling Stone, CMT, Pandora, Shazam, Amazon Music, Sounds Like Nashville, The Tennessean, SiriusXM, Whiskey Riff, and more. A Native of Shreveport, Louisiana, Davis graduated from LSU and briefly pursued the path of his degree working as an environmental consultant; however, his passion for music and songwriting eventually compelled him to move to Nashville in the summer of 2012. The 2020 ACM New Male Artist of the Year nominee’s debut album Home State has accumulated over 1.5 billion streams worldwide and features his three consecutive No. 1 hits: Platinum-Certified “Slow Dance In A Parking Lot,” the Double Platinum-Certified “Singles You Up” and Platinum-Certified “Take It From Me.” In 2019 Davis won Best New Country Artist at the iHeart Radio Music Awards and was a nominee for ACM New Male Artist of the Year.

About Restless Road
Restless Road’s (Zach Beeken, Colton Pack and Garrett Nichols) self-titled debut EP Restless Road was released to critical acclaim and catapulted the country music trio into the National spotlight. Known for “harmonies that might make bands from the Eagles to the Jonas Brothers green with envy” and their “one-of-a-kind sound”(Pandora), the trio co-wrote three of the four songs on the EP and was later signed to Kane Brown’s label imprint, 1021 Entertainment. The multi-instrumentalists and impressive vocalists have been featured by NBC’s “Today,” Entertainment Weekly, Entertainment Tonight, People and more. The trio are returning to the stage after opening for The Worldwide Beautiful arena tour, where they played to a sold-out crowd at the Los Angeles STAPLES Center opening for Kane Brown.

About Chase Rice
With nearly 2 million albums sold and more than 1.7 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond – yet he genuinely sees current single “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” plus recent releases The Album Part I and The Album Part II as the launching pad for music that says what he wants to say, how he wants to say it. With songs such as Top 10 single “Lonely If You Are” featuring sleek rhymes over heartland six strings mixed with EDM-laced drama, this is the same gravely-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better. Freer. Unbeholden and uninhibited, somehow capable of evoking Chris LeDoux and The Chronic, campfire singalongs and stadium anthems, all at once. The series follows his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, released with Broken Bow Records in 2017 and featuring the Double-Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; “Ready Set Roll” and “Gonna Wanna Tonight.” In addition to supporting Kenny Chesney’s The Big Revival stadium tour, Rice has consistently sold out 2,500-3,000 seat venues on his own headlining tours.
