Country music superstar eager to perform for ‘rabid' fans at Mass. shows

After playing an acoustic tour last year, Lee Brice is looking to turn things up a notch when he plays for 'rabid' fans at several Massachusetts venues later this week. 'The country fans up there are so rabid. I love them. I mean they're crazy and so they always show up and they show up with bells on,' Brice told MassLive in a phone interview from his South Carolina farm home. 'We love playing up there.' The chart-topping, multi-platinum-selling country music sensation said his upcoming shows will be 'full on Lee Brice' as opposed to the intimate setting he created on his 'Me & My Guitar Tour' in 2024. 'This will be 'come out and kick the footlights out,'' Brice, a CMA and ACM award winner, said. The Grammy-nominated artist will play three shows in Bay State. Brice will play at South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset on Friday, Indian Ranch in Webster on Saturday and at Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis on Sunday. When he's not performing, Brice likes to spend some time eating at local seafood restaurants or hanging out by the lake at his friend's house in Lowell. 'We've been coming there for so long. We've been everywhere, man. You know if you want the best wings. He's like, well, 'we're gonna go over here if you want that, you know. But if you want some fish and chips, we're gonna go over here,'' Brice explained. 'So it's good stuff.' The shows will serve as a precursor to Brice's 'What You Know About Tour,' which starts Sept. 11 in Clearwater, Florida. The tour comes on the heels of Brice's latest singles — 'Cry' and 'Said No Country Boy Ever' — that both came out earlier in 2025. 'Said No Country Boy Ever,' a collaboration with The Traler Park, was released July 3 and is Brice's most recent song. Brice said the song came about during a separate writing session for another song. 'In the middle of the write, one of us just said, 'Said no country boy ever.' I said, 'Stop what we're writing now. This is what we're writing right now.' After writing the song, Brice called up his longtime friends who make up The Traler Park. They include Jamey Johnson, Jerrod Niemann, Randy Houser, Rob Hatch and Dallas Davidson. 'They've deemed this as The Traler Park, I guess, after all the years of us kind of raising hell,' Brice joked. 'We've done so much together over the years, but we've never all been on one song. And so I said, 'Boys, come on now. We need to all get on one song. Let's do it.' And so they were all in.' A mid-tempo country-rock track, 'Said No Country Boy Ever' lists everything that southern gentlemen could not live without from their mother's fried chicken to wide open pastures. However, the lyrics are presented ironically, as shown through the main chorus 'Said no country boy ever since we been around / Said no country boy ever since the beer's been iced down / I wish my baby's kisses didn't last so damn long (so damn long) / Said no country boy, country boy ever, yeah.' 'It kind of, really, became a cool thing, that song,' Brice said. 'We just love the song and I was just glad to have my boys on over me.' Brice, who has been making music since he was 10 years old, said writing and producing go 'hand-in-hand' for him — especially with a music career spanning roughly two decades. He joined a songwriting session at his home studio right after his MassLive interview. Brice expected to finish most of the track that same day. 'We'll record a lot of this song today,' the musician said. 'I'm kind of producing as I'm writing, even if it is just us and a guitar. But, it's nice to be in the studio to go ahead and get some of those parts out of your head while you're going.' Brice's songwriting chops have not only earned him more than 10 billion streams, they have also earned him a coveted spot at the Las Vegas Songwriters Festival. The country music superstar will participate in the four-day event at House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino from Aug. 21-24. 'There's going to be so many songwriters that are a part of a lot of my songs through the years,' Brice explained. 'I'm thinking about just bringing them all up one by one and kind of have them be a part of whenever I play the song and they're playing it with me or singing a verse or whatever. So it's going to be a really interesting, cool, unique show.' Fans can expect to hear Brice perform hits from his catalog at the festival. Tickets starting at $69, can be purchased online. Meanwhile, tickets for the 'What You Know About Tour' are also on sale now.

Country star once signed fan's fake leg at concert: ‘That was kind of fun'

Lee Brice — like many other celebrities — has had his fair share of strange fan encounters. However, there was one instance that happened in recent years that stands out to the country music sensation. 'People always ask [for] maybe unexpected things or maybe they have a sign or something that's kind of different,' Brice told MassLive. 'I did have a guy take his leg off and hand it to me on stage and have me sign it. It's a prosthetic leg, so that was kind of fun.' While Brice could not remember the exact show where it happened, an Instagram post from April 20, 2023, captured the moment. At the time, the artist was playing shows across Canada, some of which were part of the 'Beer Drinking Opportunity Tour.' Brice is currently on a string of shows — including three in Massachusetts — that will serve as a precursor for his 'What You Know About Tour.' The tour, which starts Sept. 11 in Clearwater, Florida, comes on the heels of Brice's latest singles — 'Cry' and 'Said No Country Boy Ever' — that both came out earlier in 2025. Tickets for the 'What You Know About Tour' are on sale now.
