I remember back in 2015, a guy namend Kane Brown sold out back-to-back shows at the Dusty Armadillo and I had the following thought- who is Kane Brown???? Apparently, he had a huge following on social media, so I went to the show and well, I did not leave too impressed. I am just being honest. He was fine- ok. The people were happy.

Fast forward to him signing a record deal, going on a radio tour, working with some producers and everything changed for Kane. I clearly stand corrected. What do I know?!

Kane is shy in person, he is reserved and dare I say he in my opinion he comes across very humble. After the release of his debut album, Kane became the first artist to have simultaneous number ones on all five main Billboard charts. His songs don't just go #1, they become some of the biggest country radio hits of the year.

Fast forward to him headlining his own arena tour a couple years ago. I go and am blown away. I went in with no expections other than I knew he had a bunch of great songs, but this guy was great!

Now is is a family guy, a married father of two girls with a son on the way and that just makes his appeal even greater. I follow him on on socials and his videos with his family make your heart melt!

Kane is a force and I am glad we have him in country music. I am so glad the Dusty knew something I didn't!
