This Week’s Featured Host: Brett Young
We’re thrilled to have Brett Young join Shawn Parr this week as co host of Shawn Parr’s Backstage Country.
Brett Young has captured the hearts of fans everywhere through his honest lyrics and West Coast-meets-Southern sound, aptly dubbed “Caliville” style. With an undeniable string of seven No. 1s – “In Case You Didn’t Know” (8X PLATINUM), “Mercy” (4X PLATINUM), “Sleep Without You” (PLATINUM) “Like I Loved You” (2X PLATINUM), “Here Tonight” (PLATINUM), “Catch” (PLATINUM) and “Lady” (PLATINUM) – and two albums defined by a transcendent romantic spark, he has cemented his status as Country’s master over matters of the heart.
The star broadened his emotional scope on Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, the project features his current single that is climbing through the Top 15 on Country radio “You Didn’t” and “Lady,” whose lyrics inspired Young’s debut children’s book “Love You, Little Lady,” published by Tommy Nelson (an imprint of HarperCollins).
Young previously debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his GOLD-certified Ticket To LA. while his PLATINUM self-titled debut dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks, all contributing to over 5.5 billion global streams. Young was named ASCAP’s 2018 Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftsmanship”(Billboard) and has also garnered nominations from ACM, Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards as he continues to rack up nonstop hits as “one of Country’s most consistent radio stars” (Rolling Stone).
Alongside Shay Mooney and Bear Rinehart, Young also penned “Long Way Home (From The Motion Picture ‘Father Stu’)” a song featured in the Sony Pictures film starring Academy Award Nominee® Mark Wahlberg. He is currently out on the road for his headlining 5, TOUR, 3, 2, 1 tour.
