Brown drummer killed in accident

Wednesday, October 16, 2019 – Kane Brown's drummer, Kenny Dixon, was killed in a single-car accident Saturday night near Nashville.

Reports said that speed was a factor in the accident that killed the 27-year-old.

"It is with profound sadness and disbelief that we confirm we lost our drummer Kenny this weekend in a tragic car accident," the statement from Brown read. "Kenny was a member of our family from the very beginning and our hearts are with his fiancée Sarah, his son, and everyone who knew and loved him. He was truly one of the greatest and kindest people on and off stage we've ever known."

Brown broke down while receiving the CMT Artist of the Year Award on Wednesday from Chris Young. "Thank you all so much. I want to dedicate this to our drummer Kenny," he said haltingly. "He started with me coming out of Chattanooga off Facebook. People didn't think we would make it. He was with me the whole time. He was so supportive of me. And I love you man, I miss you. The band misses you."

Brown postponed his Los Angeles concert, which had been scheduled for Oct. 18, until Jan. 8, 2020.

CD review - Experiment There's not a lot of room for argument to say that men singing country music today are different than the stars on the old Porter Wagoner show. Many have ditched the cowboy hat. They're hip-hop fans, video game junkies and spent most of their teenage money on tattoos. Kane Brown checks all these boxes and more. He's biracial, for example, subverting a country culture that seemed a little too exclusive for this century. And he built his following via the internet, not in clubs (a ...
CD review - Kane Brown First look at the cover for Kane Brown's full-length debut album, and you may experience a "Homeboy" moment. The young man appears like the tattooed model for Eric Church's song of the same name. Although Brown is categorized as bro-country in some quarters, the actual music he makes is much better than you might expect. This is one case where you shouldn't judge the book by its cover. Although the album includes a lustful song like "Pull It Off," which is a ...
