Kane Brown In Concert
When Kane Brown makes his way to the stage, it's immediately obvious that there's no emotional distance between the artist and the audience. Every word sounds like it's coming straight from his core, and since so many of the country star's hits are romantic ballads, that usually means there's a lot of love in the air. Brown was only 22 when his self-titled 2016 debut album was released, and he speaks to a whole new generation of country fans who adore the way he finesses his R&B influences in his music. Onstage, he's just as likely to slip into a hip-hop/R&B hit like Outkast's "Ms. Jackson" or Khalid's "Location," as he is to deliver his own No. 1 country single "Heaven" or his duet with Lauren Alaina, "What Ifs." With his multiple tattoos and trucker cap, Kane might come off like a tough guy, but only until he opens his mouth. As soon as he starts to sing, the tenderness and unguarded emotion in those songs comes pouring out. When he announced his first headlining arena outing, the 2019 Live Forever Tour (with special guests Granger Smith, Raelynn, and Danielle Bradbery), it became clear that Brown's fresh, new sound is here to stay.
Kane Brown Background
Born in 1993 and raised in Georgia and Tennessee, Kane Brown is a truly modern kind of country singer, on several levels. His first wave of fame came via a series of cover tunes he shared on social media. Videos of himself singing songs by the likes of Lee Brice and Brantley Gilbert got the ball rolling, and Brown's version of the 1995 George Strait hit not only showed his diversity, it blew up, earning him millions of views and putting him definitively on the mainstream musical map. After testing the waters with a couple of EPs, Brown released his self-titled debut album on RCA Nashville in 2016, and as soon as the fans who already admired his Facebook covers and early singles got a full-length earful of what he was up to, he became a straight-up star. The record then hit the top spot on the country charts and went to No. 5 on the pop charts, eventually going Platinum and yielding the multi-Platinum hit singles "What Ifs" (a duet with Lauren Alaina) and "Heaven."
