NASHVILLE, TN. (Arista Nashville) - Country's most successful duo of all time is teaming with BIG & RICH and the WARREN BROTHERS for 'DEUCES WILD,' a major 32-date shed tour launching August 6 in Dallas, TX and wrapping October 30 in West Palm Beach, FL.
The 'DEUCES WILD' tour follows BROOKS & DUNN's strict tradition of bringing only the best acts on the road with them. Superstars such as Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts, Faith Hill, Gretchen Wilson and Keith Urban all gained vast exposure in previous BROOKS & DUNN tour lineups. RONNIE says, 'Kix and I are appreciative of the fact that we get to take a look at the roster of up and coming talent each year and pick acts that we feel show promise. But more importantly, we look for artists that bring an 'entertainment factor' to a multi-act live show.'
Building on their reputation for electrifying concerts, BROOKS & DUNN will unveil their new, state-of-the-art 576-square foot LED projection screen that will accompany the live music with videos and new footage shot especially for this tour. The group is working closely on the live show with visual director Marcia Kapustin, who has worked with U2, the Rolling Stones, Metallica, Paul McCartney, KISS and Elton John, among others.
BROOKS & DUNN-currently in the studio wrapping up their ninth studio album-have sold over 27 million records since their 1991 debut. Their latest single-the tender 'It's Getting Better All The Time' from 2004's THE GREATEST HITS COLLECTION II (Arista Nashville)-continues to dominate at radio and is currently bulleted at No 4 on the Billboard Country Singles chart.
Big & Rich's May 2004 release Horse Of A Different Color was certified platinum within three months of its release and reached double platinum status in early 2005. The duo-described by DUNN as 'new, definitely different and on a roll'-quickly followed up their debut CD with the recently certified platinum Big & Rich's Super Galactic Fan Pak, a CD/DVD package featuring new music and behind the scenes footage of life on the road. October also found Big & Rich making history as "Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)" became the first digital download by a country artist to be certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
In addition to a Grammy nomination, Big & Rich have several CMA, ACM and CMT Music award nominations to their credit and earned the 2004 Billboard Music Award for "New Country Duo/Group Artist of the Year.'
Also joining the tour are The Warren Brothers, described by DUNN as 'out of control'; their CMT reality show 'Barely Famous' is a fan favorite that gives viewers an unorthodox, behind the scene's experience with two of country music's lesser-known stars. The Warren Brothers (Brad and Brett) are looking forward to sharing their music with Brooks & Dunn's rowdy fans. Adds 'the smart one' Brad: 'Kix and Ronnie have begged us to join them on tour for years and we're just happy we finally have time to spare.' Look for a BNA Records album this summer featuring Barely Famous Hits from the brother duo.
