Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Webster & Associates) With the kickoff of college football season, award winning singer/songwriter Lee Brice has been handpicked by the Clemson Tigers to write and record their gameday power anthem. Before each game, the Tigers will charge the field to Brice's "Orange Empire," which is also now available for fans on iTunes.
"I remember the ride over to the stadium on the team bus," said Brice. "When we'd get to the top of that hill…there really is no describing the intensity and excitement. The fans were ready and insanely loud! When I sat down to write this song, I wanted to portray that feeling. Hopefully it'll get 'em going!"

In addition to the new fight song, Brice will hit campus on football's biggest weekend where he'll host a pre-game concert on Nov. 23 at Littlejohn Coliseum, the night before Clemson goes head-to-head with rivals the USC Gamecocks. Tickets to the Thanksgiving weekend concert go on sale Oct. 5 at Tickemaster.com.
