2011 marked the release of Evans’ highly anticipated sixth studio album “Stronger” which debuted at #1 for two weeks and features the platinum small multi-week #1 single “A Little Bit Stronger.” Evans received award nominations for Single of the year and Female vocalist of the year at the 2011 CMA, AMA, and ACA awards.
Country singer and songwriter Lee Brice walks a path between traditional honky tonk sounds and contemporary rock & roll. Brice has charted a string of singles beginning in 2007 with “She Ain’t Right,” followed by “Happy Endings” and “Upper Middle Class White Trash.” As an artist, his breakthrough came when “Love Like Crazy” was released in September 2009. With a slow but consistent build at country radio, the single eventually peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s country songs chart. Spending a total of 56 weeks on the country songs chart, the track made history by breaking Eddy Arnold’s 54-week stay on the chart with “Bouquet of Roses,” which debuted in May 1948. Most currently Brice had his highest-charting single “A Woman Like You” which reached #1 in April 2012.
