Well it's official. My first single is out there on iTunes! I wrote Lee Brice's new single, "A Woman Like You", with Phil Barton and Jon Stone. This tune is as special to me as the girl who inspired it, and I just can't believe how lucky I have been these last six months. Thank you everyone for the support and love you have blessed me with all these years. I hope you all enjoy the song.

I'm going to be in St. Louis this weekend for the  Toys for Tots Drive & Remembrance  then the 15th and 16th I'll be back in Orlando for two shows. Check listing for more details.

Lee Brice Kicks Off CMT Tour Tonight, Sets Release Date for New Single

Tonight, the 2011 CMT Tour, featuring headliner Luke Bryan, kicks off in Huntington, W.V. In addition to Bryan, the tour also includes the likes of Lee Brice, Josh Thompson and CMT’s ‘Next Superstar’ winner, Matt Mason. The 22-city tour has been in the works since the beginning part of the year, but in just the past few weeks, the bands and crew have been running through rehearsals to make sure it goes off without a hitch.

 “Everybody’s been so cool,” Brice tells Taste of Country from soundcheck at tonight’s venue, the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. “Luke has got a big crew out here, and they’re working with the other acts — Josh, Matt and myself. We’ve only had a couple of big rehearsals up to this point. I’ve been really digging in and writing a new show. We’ve got the full deal going on. It’s really exciting to be out on a tour like this.”

Being involved with big tours is nothing new to Brice, who spent his summer as part of the 2011 Country Throwdown Tour with Willie Nelson. “During that tour, my performance slot was during the day. We played around 6 o’clock, so the CMT tour is going to be really cool. It’s going to be at night, there’s going to be lights, it’s going to be action packed and dramatic … I’m pumped!”

In addition to performing his fan favorite hits such as ‘She Ain’t Right,’ ‘Beautiful Every Time,’ and his Top 5 smash, ‘Love Like Crazy,’ Brice will also be introducing the audiences to the new music he has been recording for his sophomore album.

“I’ve been in the studio all summer with a few different producers kind of doing some different things … trying some new stuff,” Brice reveals. “It’s really turning out awesome. We’ve decided that October 17 is the release date for the new single, ‘A Woman Like You.’ It’s so killer. My friend Jon Stone wrote it with Phil Barton and Johnny Bulford. The day they wrote it, Jon played it for me, and I loved it. I went into my little studio and did a guitar/vocal of it. The next day we demoed it. We sang it like twice through and that was it. All we did was upgrade and mastered the demo, and that’s what’s going to be the record. I am so excited about it. We’ve already been playing it in our shows, and people are loving it. At first you feel like it’s a ‘girl song’ — just straight directed at the girls — but the dudes end up liking it, too. They may not get to say it in real life, but they get to say it on the song [laughs]! It’s cool.”

The CMT Tour will run through the middle of November. Click here for a complete list of dates where the tour will be stopping.

Hi it has been a crazy year and it’s only March. I’ve been writing up a storm and traveling like a mad man. Plus I got my very first cut. Now if you don’t know for sure what I mean by “first cut” it means that a song that I have co written will be on an artist’s album. That artist will be my good friend and Grammy nominated singer, Chris Young.

 I’m just now leaving Florida headed back to the cold cruel weather in Nashville. I only say that because I miss the Florida sunshine. We had three snow storms this winter. It’s not the worst weather in the world but I did have to stop wearing flip flops for fear of frostbite on my toes. Luckily concert season is coming up and I should be in Florida a whole lot more.

 I am a home owner!! We closed while I was here in Florida and I move in as soon as I get back to Nashville. It is a five bedroom; 3400 square foot house so let me know if anyone wants to visit. After I get all my furniture moved in the house I’ll be recording another ten songs. I can’t wait for you guys to hear the new stuff.  

 We had a great turnout for the Harley show this past weekend. Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting the band. For those of you who couldn’t make it I will be back in a few weeks for another show at Seminole Harley on March 12^th. Also if you get a chance March 8^th at the Strawberry festival Chris Young will be performing. Speaking of Chris Young, don’t forget to buy his new album this summer containing a song we wrote called “Flashlight”. I need ya’ll to help drive those royalty checks up so I can pay this danged house off.

 We’ll I have to go get on the plane. See ya’ll next time. I hope you like the new website,

Johnny
