From hotel and bar gigs to major music festivals, COVID-19 is deeply impacting live music events, and the creative community behind it all. Administered through MusiCares, the COVID-19 Fund will be used to directly support those in the music community with the greatest need.

As the 5X chart-topper’s current hit “Catch” quickly approaches the top of the Country radio charts, Young was announced today as part of the GRAMMY Museum’s® next round of free digital content released during its COVID-19 closure. Beginning on April 29, fans can listen to a never-before-heard sit-down interview with Young taped at the Clive Davis Theater in LA last year at www.grammymuseum.org.
Young’s TICKET TO L.A. (BMLG Records), debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart upon release and features hits he co-wrote — current Top 5 single “Catch” and No. 1 lead track “Here Tonight.” His sophomore effort follows a PLATINUM self-titled debut, which dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks. Delivering five consecutive No. 1 hits with “In Case You Didn’t Know” (5X PLATINUM), “Mercy” (2X PLATINUM), “Sleep Without You” (PLATINUM), “Like I Loved You” (PLATINUM) and “Here Tonight” (PLATINUM), Young was named ASCAP’s 2018 Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftsmanship” (Billboard). He has also garnered nominations from ACM, Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards as he continues to rack up nonstop hits as “one of country’s most consistent radio stars” (Rolling Stone). Young has amassed more than 3 billion streams of his catalog globally and has sold-out stops on his headlining THE CHAPTERS TOUR. For additional information, visit BrettYoungMusic.com.
