Kane Brown is on a roll. The country music newcomer just wrapped his opening slot on Florida Georgia Lineâs Dig Your Roots Tour and kicked off his own Ainât No Stopping Us Now headlining tour last night (Nov. 3) in Kalamazoo, Mich., which is sponsored by Monster Energy and Outbreak Presents.
The 23 year-old singer recently celebrated his birthday on Oct. 21 and couldnât be more excited about headlining his own tour and putting to use what he learned from his FGL buddies.
âI noticed thereâs a huge difference when you have a bunch of production behind you and youâre not the only thing on stage, Kane tells Nash Country Daily. âWe went out and brainstormed and we got a bunch of production for our show. We got some lights now, weâve got smoke, weâve got risers so that every body is up high and itâs not on a flat surfaceâwe have a 60 foot LED video screen behind me so I can play my music videos behind me and we got a new band leader thatâs putting the band together really well and really tight. Itâs going to be fun and a huge change from every other show that Iâve ever done.â
Kaneâs 3 Must-Have Items On The Road
1. My cell phone
2. I always have to have a hat. I donât have to have it on, but I need it just in case Iâm having a bad hair day.
3. X-Box, because thatâs all we do on the bus.
Kane was handpicked as Outbreak Presents next discovery worthy artist for 2016, joining past headliners Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea and Cole Swindell for that honor. But what is most important to the young star is making his shows better for his fans each time he goes out.
âItâs important to up my shows,â said Kane. âA lot of people say we have good shows and every time they tell me that, Iâm usually like, âYeah, theyâre all right.â But these shows I feel likeâIâm just so pumped for them. We never really got to rehearse and weâre actually getting to rehearse for these. Thereâs so much going on right now, I feel like the show is going to be a million times better. Iâm about to be dancing all around the stage.â
Kaneâs highly anticipated self-titled debut album is due out Dec. 2, just in time for Christmas.
