From a press release:

It was announced today that gold and platinum-selling country music star Lee Brice will return to the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre on Friday, March 29 at 8 p.m., presented by Wilkes-Barre/Scranton country music radio station Froggy 101 as part of the PNC Celebrity series.

Tickets, which are $39.50, $49.50, $59.50, and $75, plus fees, go on sale this Friday, Feb. 8 at 10 a.m. and will be available at the Sundance Vacations Box Office at the Kirby Center (71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre), online at kirbycenter.org, and by phone at 570-826-1100. A Kirby Member pre-sale begins Wednesday, Feb. 6 at 10 a.m.

With more than 12 million in RIAA certified sales, Lee Brice has achieved gold and platinum on every album and single released. Gold album certifications include “Love Like Crazy,” “Hard 2 Love,” and “I Don’t Dance.” Single certifications include “I Don’t Dance” and “A Woman Like You,” with “That Don’t Sound Like You” reaching double platinum.

With well over two billion digital spins, Brice is now among the Top 25 most-streamed country artists of all time on Pandora, and he is only the second country artist behind Keith Urban to receive the Pandora Billionaire plaque, putting him in company with not only Urban, but legends including Johnny Cash and Fleetwood Mac, and pop phenoms such as John Legend.

Brice is a Grammy Award nominee, a CMA nominee, and a double ACM award winner, and he’s taken five radio singles to No. 1: “A Woman Like You,” “Hard to Love,” “I Drive Your Truck,” “I Don’t Dance,” and “Drinking Class.” Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, and others have recorded his songs, and he’s performed on TV shows including NBC’s “Today,” ABC’s “The Bachelor,” NBC’s “The Voice,” and Fox’s “Miss USA 2018.”

Brice released his fourth studio album in November of 2017. The self-titled record contains the hit singles “Boy” and “Rumor.”

When Brice isn’t selling out venues, writing and recording songs, or building a new brand like American Born whiskey, you’ll find him with his wife Sara, two young boys Takoda (10) and Ryker (4), and new daughter Trulee Nanette, who was born on June 2, 2017.
