Huron, S.D. – The South Dakota State Fair and the team at Pioneer are proud to welcome top country music artist Lee Brice to the State Fair grandstand stage on Saturday, August 30 at 8 P.M. CST.
With over 3.7 billion on-demand streams, and over 4 billion spins on Pandora, Brice has seen massive success at country radio, digital streaming services, and on the road. He’s one of the most-played country artists of all time on Pandora, and he reached the #1 spot at Country Radio with Platinum-selling “Memory I Don’t Mess With.” Lee is also a GRAMMY nominee, a CMA and ACM award winner, and he’s taken nine radio singles to Number One: “A Woman Like You,” “Hard to Love,” “I Drive Your Truck,” “I Don’t Dance,” “Drinking Class,” “Rumor,” “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” “One of Them Girls,” and “Memory I Don’t Mess With.”
Brice’s album, Hey World, has been certified Platinum and features several multi-Platinum selling hits. He continues to roll out new music with his recently dropped nostalgic summertime track, “Summer of Us,” which is available now on all digital platforms. Recently, Brice released his latest single, “Cry,” available now and is currently impacting country radio.
When he isn’t selling out arenas, writing and recording songs, or building new brands like American Born whiskey, Brice enjoys time with his wife Sara, two young boys and daughter.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Lee Brice to the State Fair this summer,” said Peggy Besch, SD State Fairgrounds Manager. “Bringing a top country music artist to the grandstand stage elevates the excitement of fair time, and we’re proud to offer entertainment our fairgoers are eager to enjoy.”
