In what’s fast becoming one of Nashville’s premiere charity concerts, PLATINUM hitmaker BRELAND hosted another star-studded, SOLD-OUT night of music Tuesday (3/26), taking over the Ryman Auditorium for his third annual BRELAND & Friends. 

Raising over $140,000 in support of the Oasis Center and their mission to serve at-risk youth in Middle Tennessee, the incendiary live show was filled with headline-making names and unforgettable moments, all brought together by BRELAND and his infectious personality. 

Joined on stage by Anthony Hamilton, Avery Anna, Caitlyn Smith, Chase Rice, Dalton Dover, Drake White, Dylan Marlowe, Josh Groban, Matt Stell, Quinn XCII, The War And Treaty, and Walker Hayes – plus a few of the annual show’s trademark surprise appearances including Hailey Whitters, Nelly, and Tanner Adell – the event once again showed the community spirit at the core of the music industry. 

Along with never-before-heard renditions of massive hits like “My Truck” with Tanner Adell, “County Line” with Quinn XCII, “Islands in the Stream” with Hailey Whitters, “Beers on Me” with Matt Stell, and many more,  BRELAND also thrilled the crowd with performances of tunes like “Cowboy Don’t” performed with Dalton Dover from his 2023 CROSS COUNTRY: THE EXTRA MILE deluxe album (Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville). BRELAND also lit up the stage with solo performances of his most recent release “Heartbreak & Alcohol,” “Don’t Look At Me,” and more. 

Standout moments included an emotional duet with his dad, Gerard Breland, for his unreleased song “Old Man,” “Real Men Don’t Cry” with Josh Groban, and “High Horse” with Nelly alongside other buzzworthy performances. The evening capped with BRELAND singing his GOLD-certified smash “Throw It Back.”

With a livestream presented by Amazon Music, fans in Nashville and around the globe were treated to a heartfelt night of music and meaning … all made possible by an artist whose ability to bring folks together – no matter their background – is second to none.

Meanwhile, momentum continues to build with BRELAND celebrating a memorable cameo in the new film remake of Road House starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

Appearing on screen as a bandleader during a riveting fight scene with actor Lukas Gage, BRELAND brings his trademark energy and spotlight smile to a film capturing attention from a wide cross-section of fans, and the star was also on hand at this year’s SXSW festival, where Road House made its acclaimed premiere. Fans can watch the film exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.

BRELAND & Friends kicks off his headline LITTLE MORE COUNTRIER TOUR with his next stops including Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Washington, DC; Cambridge, Massachusetts, and more – including iconic venues like New York City’s Gramercy Theatre, Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed St. and others.

ABOUT BRELAND:
Boundary-shattering, breakout star BRELAND is pushing the possibilities of Country music on a global scale. Since the arrival of his PLATINUM-certified debut single “My Truck,” the New Jersey-bred singer/songwriter/producer has amassed over 1.1 BILLION career streams, brought his crowd-thrilling live show to an international headline tour, and gained acclaim from many of the world’s leading music publications (with Rolling Stone hailing him as “a symbol of Country music’s ongoing evolution” and Billboard calling him a “keen, visionary solo artist”). On his critically acclaimed 2022 debut album CROSS COUNTRY, the Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville artist introduced a high-energy sound that blurs the barriers between Country, Pop, Hip-Hop, Soul, and Southern Gospel, offering up smash hits like the GOLD-certified “Praise The Lord (feat. Thomas Rhett).” A blockbuster year for BRELAND, 2023 has included such triumphs as teaming up with superstar Keith Urban to open the 16th annual Academy of Country Music Honors by performing their GOLD-certified collaboration “Throw It Back” and — immediately following the performance — receiving the ACM Lift Every Voice Award, recognizing his role in “elevating underrepresented voices throughout the Country music genre, transcending demographics and geography.” Released in September, CROSS COUNTRY: THE EXTRA MILE delivered a star-packed bonus version of his full-length debut, with the expanded album’s six fresh tracks including a brand-new feature with Brittney Spencer as well as live favorite “Cowboy Don’t.” With his high-profile TV appearances to date including Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Voice, and TODAY, he also spent much of 2023 on the road as support for the legendary Shania Twain’s QUEEN OF ME TOUR in the U.S. and U.K. (with stops at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden), in addition to taking his THE EXTRA MILE TOUR across the U.K., Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. A truly magnetic live performer, BRELAND has also graced the stage at major festivals like Stagecoach and C2C: Country to Country Festival, fulfilling his mission of uniting audience members from all walks of life with his wildly joyful music.
