When Curb Records recording artist Lee Brice isn’t selling out arenas, writing and recording songs, serving as an official brand ambassador for Yuengling Traditional Lager, or building new brands like American Born Whiskey, you’ll find the family man with his wife Sara, two young boys, and daughter. Meanwhile, with over 3.7 billion on-demand streams and over 4 billion spins on Pandora, the 45-year-old continues to enjoy massive success on country radio, digital streaming services, and on the road.

He has reached the No. 1 spot on country radio with the platinum-selling “Memory I Don’t Mess With,” which consecutively follows three prior No. 1s: the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers’ 2021 Country Song of the Year and triple-platinum track “One of Them Girls,” “I Hope You’re Happy Now” with Carly Pearce, and the quadruple-platinum hit “Rumor,” which was nominated in the category Single of the Year at the 55th annual Academy of Country Music Awards. One of the most-played country artists of all time on Pandora, he was the second country artist behind Keith Urban to receive the Pandora Billionaire plaque.

Brice is also a Grammy nominee, a Country Music Association and ACM award winner, and he has taken nine radio singles to No. 1: “A Woman Like You,” “Hard to Love,” “I Drive Your Truck,” “I Don’t Dance,” “Drinking Class,” “Rumor,” “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” “One of Them Girls,” and “Memory I Don’t Mess With.” Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, and others have recorded his songs, and he has performed on numerous television shows, including NBC’s “Today,” ABC’s “The Bachelor,” NBC’s “The Voice,” and Fox’s “Miss USA 2018.” He also performed as part of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song honoring Garth Brooks, which aired on PBS in 2020.

At the 54th annual CMA Awards, Brice took home the prize for Musical Event of the Year for his song with Carly Pearce, “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” At the 56th ACM Awards, “I Hope You’re Happy Now” won Single of the Year and Music Event of the Year, and he and Pearce performed the song live. Brice’s latest studio album, 2020’s “Hey World,” was certified platinum and features several of his multi-platinum-selling hits.

He began 2024 with an acoustic run, the Me & My Guitar Tour, and gave fans brand new music with his recent singles “Drinkin’ Buddies” with Nate Smith and Hailey Whitters and the nostalgic “Summer of Us.” He will be back on the road in 2025 as his You, Me & My Guitar Tour comes to cities across the United States.

The F.M. Kirby Center is a historic Art Deco/Moderne-style performing arts center located in downtown Wilkes-Barre. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
