BBR Music Group/BMG’s Wheelhouse Records’ rowdy outliers LOCASH are nominated for Duo of the Year at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards™. This honor marks their fifth ACM career nod, as fans can stream this year’s show live on Prime Video on March 7 at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. CST/5 p.m. PST from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, NV.
“We’re so grateful and excited to be recognized again by the Academy of Country Music,” shares LOCASH's Chris Lucas. “This is amazing news and a great sign for what’s to come!”
“It still hasn’t sunk in yet, but it feels amazing to be nominated,” adds LOCASH’s Preston Brust. “There are so many individuals on our team that help make all of this possible, so this is a big moment for all of us!”
Rising up the Country ranks with a streak of hits and critical acclaim, LOCASH has two successful albums, eight charting singles including two #1s, and 815 MILLION global on-demand streams to their credit. Country Now praises, “Preston Brust and Chris Lucas tend to know the secret recipe of creating striking hits that display a pristine balance between modern and traditional country,” while calling them “a stand-out act in the industry.”
Next “making waves” – according to E! News – on March 4 with their brand-new single “Beach Boys,” which features The Beach Boys’ co-founder Mike Love and longtime band member Bruce Johnston, Billboard hails, “They’ve got an urge to ‘take the country to the beach, boys,’ trading ‘Jack D’ for Jose Cuervo, and swapping Tennessee for laid-back beaches.” First releasing a solo rendition on their wild-and-free WOODS & WATER – EP, American Songwriter deems it “sunny” while Celeb Secrets Country applauds the tune as “a rare work of country music art.” Written by LOCASH’s Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, alongside Dallas Wilson, Jared Mullins, Brian Wilson, and Mike Love, its go with the flow melodies and breezy vocal harmonies has all of the salt-kissed, Country-rocking energy of The Beach Boys mixed with LOCASH’s signature backwoods style.
