Brice receives Emmy nomination

Friday, April 28, 2023 – Lee Brice scored his first-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Best Original Song "Pocket Change" from PBS Series "American Anthems."

The show honors everyday heroes who have overcome adversity and go on to make lasting positive impacts in their communities. His original song, "Pocket Change," written alongside long-time Curb songwriter Billy Montana, and Adam Wood, mirrors the inspiring story of Ashley Ruiz, a "hope dealer" that pays for laundry services in low-income communities.

"What can I say? I'm completely stunned," said Brice. "I never once thought I'd be an Emmy nominee. I had a great time working with 'American Anthems' and meeting such an inspiring person like Ashley really puts life and everything we take for granted into perspective. On behalf of myself, Billy and Adam, I just want to say thank you so much for this incredible recognition."

The Emmys will air live on June 16 on CBS and Paramount +.

Listeners who prefer their country on the gritty side might be scared off by the pretty cover shot. The music matches the image: pop influenced mainstream country music, in the vein of contemporaries Jake Owen and Kip Moore. The success of his sophomore release emboldened Lee Brice. His first two albums introduced the country scene to his ...
CD review - Hard to Love Lee Brice had a dream run of success with his debut, "Love Like Crazy" - the title track became the most-played song on country radio in 2010. While that set the South Carolina native up for a doozy of a sophomore slump, he sidesteps it with ease. Brice simply has too many weapons - a songwriter's ear, soulful voice and some very able co-writer friends (Rhett Atkins, Eric Church) to veer far off course. A Woman Like You has already topped the country single charts. ...
