Multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Lee Brice is set to release his highly anticipated new track, “Country Nowadays,” this Friday, February 20th. Co-written with Matt Alderman and Nate Kenyon, the song reflects on simpler times, celebrating small-town values while lamenting the pace of modern life. With lush acoustic arrangements and Brice’s signature storytelling, “Country Nowadays” is an honest, heartfelt country anthem that resonates with fans who love music rooted in home, family, and community.

Off-stage, Brice enjoys life with his wife Sara, two sons, and daughter, while also growing his lifestyle brands, Dulce Vida Tequila and Loud Lemon. With over 10 billion career streams, nine No. 1 radio singles, and multiple Platinum hits, Brice remains a fixture on the country charts and a fan favorite on the road.

He’s a GRAMMY nominee, CMA and ACM award winner, and one of Pandora’s most-played country artists of all time. Hits like “Memory I Don’t Mess With,” “Rumor,” “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Carly Pearce, and ASCAP’s 2021 Country Song of the Year “One of Them Girls” have solidified Brice’s reputation as one of country music’s most trusted voices. His songs have been recorded by legends including Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney, and he’s performed on major TV stages like NBC’s Today and FOX’s Miss USA.

Following his 2025 reflective single “Killed the Man” and the Platinum-certified Hey World album, Brice returns with “Country Nowadays,” a song that will feel right at home in the Ozarks, at theaters, on radio, and at live shows where fans come for music that hits the heart.

“Country Nowadays” arrives on all streaming platforms this Friday, February 20th.
