Brice Long may be a well-known singer/songwriter in Nasvhille, TN — having had songs with Garth Brooks, Chris Stapleton, Jon Pardi, George Strait, Gary Allan, Craig Campbell, Randy Travis, and more — but, this Hopkinsville native has a big heart and wants to support the community that helped raise him and nurture his career.

He really is one heck of a human being!

That’s why Brice launched the Back2Back Foundation, a non-profit organization established to help meet the needs of families during the holiday season in Christian, Todd and Trigg counties, in 2005. The Back2Back Foundation brings shoes, clothing, food, toys, household items, beds, school supplies, etc to families in need during Christmas.

Brice and his foundation have been able to support hundreds of families in his hometown counties and raised more than half a million dollars.

In order to raise funds to support the holiday efforts of the Back2Back Foundation, Brice organizes a concert to raise money for the project, bringing some of his songwriter friends to his hometown.

With the Back2Back Foundation Benefit Concert, audience members can enjoy great music and hear origin stories of some of their favorite songs from the songwriters themselves and a silent auction.

Normally, we’d all be together at the Bruce Convention Center together, getting our music on, but this year will be a bit different.

This year, the Back2Back benefit concert will be hitting the virtual stage.

On June 27th at 7 PM (Central Time), Brice and his friends will be streaming the Back2Back benefit concert on Facebook Live!

That’s right! Everyone can tune in without worrying about tickets selling out, plus it’s a free show!!

Brice will be joined by his buddies, hit songwriters Terry McBride (Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Josh Gracin, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Trace Adkins, and more) and Wynn Varble (Montgomery Gentry, Kellie Pickler, Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Jon Pardi, and more).

Oh, yeah . . . and a few more surprise special guests will be there!

You can get all the info HERE.

Brice called into the Fletch & Jai morning show to discuss the upcoming virtual Back2Back benefit concert. Check out the phone interview in its entirety HERE.
Normally, our favorite Beaver Country singer/songwriter joins us in studio to perform, but with everything going on, this year was a little different.
Here’s a video from a previous visit when Brice sat in on the show and sang George Strait’s “Honky Tonk Time Machine,” co-written by Brice, Bubba Strait, and Bart Butler:

 

Mark it on your calendars and set a reminder — June 27 @ 7 PM (Central), that’s when the fun and great music for a good cause starts!
