Brice goes home again

Wednesday, November 28, 2012 – Lee Brice went back to his roots for his first hometown arena show this weekend before rivalry weekend's Clemson versus South Carolina game.

On Friday night at Littlejohn Coliseum, the former Clemson Tiger football player revved up fans for the game with the help of Clemson's marching band, closing the night with Orange Empire, the fight song that Brice wrote and recorded as the team's game day anthem.

"We had a blast this weekend in Clemson...even though our guys didn't take the win," said Brice. "I've been wanting to play at the Clemson versus South Carolina game for years, so I knew we had to do something exciting to surprise all our hometown fans...the band did a great job helping me pull that off. We were all on fire straight through watching the guys run down the hill to Orange Empire. It was a really cool moment for me as a former player, a musician and a fan."

Brice is scheduled for two additional upcoming pre-game concerts this football season. He will kick off the ACC Championship game in Charlotte, N.C. on Dec. 1 and the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas on New Year's Eve.

CD review - I Don't Dance The cover of "I Don't Dance" features a glam shot of Lee Brice standing in a spotlight, looking more like a pop artist than a country singer. 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. ...
