Brice goes gold, plans college tour

Wednesday, March 25, 2015 – Lee Brice received his second RIAA certification in less than six months with "Drinking Class" certifying Gold as a Digital Single this week. He also announced he would do a college tour in April and May.

Brice's first sales milestone from his number one "I Don't Dance" was its title track which was the fastest Platinum certifying country single of 2014.

Brice will kick off a headlining tour in partnership with REVERB, a non-profit organization that unites artists and colleges to affect environmental and social change.

Though Brice has supported many causes - including mentoring developing songwriters and artists - this marks the first time he has officially partnered with a charitable organization.

An avid outdoorsman, Brice's Campus Consciousness initiative focuses on outdoor preservation and water conservation.

"We're hoping to offset the environmental impact of the tour by supporting clean energy projects and using buses and trucks fueled with locally produced biodiesel. I have two sons, and I look at this as investing in their future and that of kids around the world," said Brice.

The first round of dates and campuses include Lee's alma matter, Clemson University, on April 11th

Dates are:
April 8 - Buies Creek, NC - Campbell University
April 9 - Erie, PA - Penn State University
April 10 - High Point, NC - High Point University
April 11 - Clemson, SC - Clemson University (with Natalie Stovall and The Drive and Lewis Brice)
April 15 - Saint Charles, MO - Lindenwood University
April 22 - Conway, AR - University of Central Arkansas (with The Cadillac Three and Granger Smith)
April 24 - Monroe, LA - University of Louisiana
April 30 - North Andover, MA - Merrimack College
May 1 - Slippery Rock, PA - Slippery Rock University
May 2 - Durham, NH - University of New Hampshire

All shows are Lee Brice, The Cadillac Three and Chase Bryant, except where noted.

Brice spent the last three weeks playing sold-out shows in Hawaii and Australia and has sold-out seven of the nine co-bill tour dates with Chris Young. Brice will continue to play festivals, fairs and arenas through the spring and summer.

CD reviews for Lee Brice

CD review - Lee Brice Lee Brice's self-titled album is the kind we wish Zac Brown was still making. Granted, it doesn't include the faux reggae and jam band tendencies. It does, however, feature a bevy of heartfelt songs about the things that matter most in life. Best of all, its fine content is matched to high quality songs and performances. "What Keeps You Up at Night," which reads like a dirty laundry list of every insomniac's nightmare, opens the disc. The single "Boy" is a ...
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. ...
