New Album ‘2.0’ and Big Machine Celebration
Country music star Brett Young is giving his fans plenty to celebrate with the release of his fourth studio album, titled 2.0. The album features his latest single, “Drink With You,” which is already making its way to country radio. To kick off the festivities, Young is set to perform early on Friday, August 29, as part of his label’s 20th-anniversary celebration.
The performance will be a highlight of the Big Machine 20 celebration in Nashville, taking place at 1st and Broadway. As part of Fox & Friends’ All-American Summer Concert Series, the event will start bright and early, with gates opening at 5 a.m. CT for Young’s performance at 7 a.m. CT. This special appearance is part of the lead-up to the weekend’s Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix, promising an exciting start to a music-filled weekend in Music City.
From the Baseball Diamond to Music City Stardom
Before becoming a household name in country music, Brett Young was a promising baseball pitcher. Born in Anaheim, California, he earned a scholarship to play at Ole Miss and was even considered in the pre-draft selections by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Minnesota Twins. However, a significant elbow injury in college cut his athletic career short, leading him to pivot towards his other passion: music.
Inspired by artists like Gavin DeGraw, Young moved to Nashville in 2015 and signed with Big Machine Label Group. His career quickly took off with the release of his self-titled debut album in 2017. The album included the massive hit “In Case You Didn’t Know,” a track that became his signature song and achieved Diamond certification from the RIAA. His success was further solidified when he won the Academy of Country Music Award for New Male Vocalist of the Year in 2018. Now a seasoned artist, Young balances his demanding career with his personal life as a husband to Taylor Mills and a father to their two daughters, Presley and Rowan.
