BRIAN KELLEY BRINGS THE BEACH TO THE GRAND OLE OPRY DURING SOLO DEBUT

Introducing his “Beach Cowboy” way of life to the Grand Ole Opry, DIAMOND-selling superstar Brian Kelley brought the beach to Nashville, TN, during his solo debut last night (10/19).

“I’m on cloud nine. Those three songs flew by in the blink of an eye, and I wish I could stay here all night and play,” shared Kelley backstage. “It was a dream come true standing in that circle and extra special to have my parents in the audience tonight. I’m definitely humbled by this huge honor and already can’t wait to come back. I’ll be here whenever the Opry will have me.”

With American Songwriter hailing, “Kelley is on his game, delivering some of the best modern country put to tape,” after his previously released SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND, the Ormond Beach, FL-native performed three songs from the breakout project to the packed house. Showcasing his “easy-going sound that combines surf and spurs” according to Billboard, Kelley included “Boat Names,” which was written in honor of his wife Brittney, and had hands raised in the air for a spirited “Sunday Service In The Sand.”

Returning to Florida this week for the last batch of shows of his SURF POST SESSIONS’ SECOND WAVE OF SUMMER residency, limited tickets are available here. Hosted in the backyard of the Tribe Kelley Surf Post in Grayton Beach, FL, Kelley will wrap his 20-date run in costume with a Halloween bash on October 31.
