Fans of Eric Church and Kix Brooks made strong statements this week. 'Like Jesus Does' and 'Moonshine Road' both cracked the weekly Top 10 video countdown, the only countdown decided entirely by fan votes. Additionally, some familiar videos battled for the No. 1 spot, which was decided by a narrow margin of less than one percent.
Kix Brooks has a life most only dream about, but in his 'Bring It on Home' video, he shows that even the fame, music and traveling can't quite satisfy the need for someone to share it with.
As Kix Brooks relaxes on a tour bus rolling towards Phoenix, Ariona. for another show without longtime touring partner Ronnie Dunn, he admits that his fans have no idea what to expect from him. There's an anxious moment between the dimming of the lights and the first thump of the kick drum that's not unlike the few tenuous seconds before a first date. You knock, hear foot steps approaching and hold your breath...
If nothing else, the 12 songs on 'New to This Town' -- the first solo album from Kix Brooks in 23 years -- serve as reminder that we really don't know the mustachioed half of Brooks and Dunn very well. The project is is downright rowdy, and Brooks is a more colorful singer than he showed on songs like 'Lost and Found.'
Kix Brooks has had to pull out of a scheduled show in Jacksonville, Fla. after bursting a vocal cord. Upon hearing the news, his old duet partner Ronnie Dunn graciously stepped in to replace ‘New to This Town’ singer.
Rascal Flatts‘ Jay DeMarcus is slated to make his film debut next year along with Trace Adkins in the holiday film ‘Saving Santa.’ With Kix Brooks sitting in the executive director chair, it’s no surprise that this upcoming release has so many country ties. Touted as “a sweet, funny, holiday story about the belief in love, goodness and the spirit of Christmas,” ‘Saving Santa’ is set to debut next year.
Kix Brooks is halfway through his solo album work and is headed to Arizona in May to begin shooting 'The Last Ride'.
