Country artist Chris Lane is one of the artists participating with Live Nation’s National Concert Week. We had an opportunity to talk with him this week about his upcoming summer tour.

Just off touring with hot country duo Dan & Shay, up-and-coming artist Chris Lane is excited to be joining longtime country star Brad Paisley for his world headlining tour this summer.

Chris Lane’s star is steadily rising as his current single, “I Don’t Know About You”, off his 2nd studio album on Big Loud Records entitled, LAPS AROUND THE SUN, continues to climb the country charts along with its video surpassing 31 million views and counting. On Spotify, Lane has over 1 billion career streams to date.

“I Don’t Know About You”, co-written by Ashley Gorley, Michael Hardy, Hunter Phelps, and Jameson Rodgers, was chosen based on the overwhelming fan reaction to the song during his live shows. The song about a first meeting and getting to know someone that share chemistry with is really resonating with concert-goers. The chorus includes several questions that normally happen when 2 people meet for the first time and a romantic spark has ensued.

Regarding one of his favorite tour moments, Lane stated that “it is hearing the audience sing the words” of his current single back to him during his live performances. It was this fan reaction each night that propelled him and his label to release it as a single, so essentially, it was the fans who helped chose the next single to radio due to such a strong response.

Lane also recalled some past tour humorous times like when he was out on tour with Rascal Flatts who liked to make up wild stories that he joined in on just to pass the time and for a few laughs.

I asked if he had an tour pranks played on him that many artists like to do to their tourmates. As of yet, “no”, but “he heard that Brad Paisley likes to play a few pranks on tours”, so he is prepared to share some fun times and a few laughs with Paisley while out on the road with him this summer.

The Onsite Foundation Will Honor Live Nation’s Brian O’Connell At Annual INSPIRE Event

By FOCUS admin on September 5, 2018 in In The Press

The Onsite Foundation announced today that their annual INSPIRE event will honor Live Nation’s President of Country Touring Brian O’Connell and his Nashville team with their 2018 Inspiration Award, taking place October 23 at Marathon Music Works. The special evening will recognize O’Connell’s ongoing commitment to helping the victims and families of the Oct. 1 tragedy in Las Vegas.

“The Onsite Foundation more than doubled its’ impact last year thanks to the success of this event,” said Miles Adcox, CEO of The Onsite Foundation. “With this momentum, a new important idea was born to help change the way we have historically responded to mass tragedies in our country. We are circling back over a year after the Route 91 Harvest Festival to offer Onsite’s world class proven grief and trauma intensives for free to all who lost a loved one that day. The country music industry is known for doing things differently and this will be no exception. I’ve spent a lot of time with Brian O’ Connell since October 1st of last year and I’ve never seen someone in his position care so much about helping the fans and music community recover and heal. He and his team have spent countless hours in support of these efforts. He was the last to want this honor but the first to raise his hand when he heard how the proceeds would help the families.”

“The work that The Onsite Foundation does is so important,” said Brian O’Connell. “I’m a huge advocate of seeking help when you need it, and so our philosophies are very much in line with each other. I’m so inspired by my team for their strength this past year and thankful to be a part of raising more funds for a shared cause so close to us all.”

About The Onsite Foundation:
The Onsite Foundation provides funding to vulnerable populations including , victims of mass tragedies, refugees, veterans, first responders, creatives, and every day people needing mental health resources. This aids in the healing and rebuilding of those who struggle from the effects of trauma, abuse, stress, mental-health and relationship issues. Inspire is an event honoring and celebrating the creative community and the individuals who give their heart and soul to make it what it is. This energy and culture is made possible by the tireless efforts of those who use their platforms to make an impact by giving back to their communities and inspiring those in need. Past recipients include Troy Tomlinson, Tracie and Scott Hamilton, Rod Essig and Pete Fisher. Past performers include Kenny Chesney, Wynonna, Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Big & Rich, Ashley Monroe, LeAnn Rimes, and many more.
