Breland is named July Opry NextStage artist
Bad Realm Records/Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville multi-talent Breland earns RIAA GOLD certification for his love-drunk collab with Keith Urban, “Throw It Back.” The music video amplified the buzzy song with Entertainment Tonight airing an exclusive behind-the-scenes look from the shoot in Nashville.
Adding to his accolades, Breland has been selected as the Opry NextStage artist for July. The coveted program invests in the discovery of new artists and highlights one up-and-coming artist per month with featured original content, an Opry performance and support across the brand’s platforms. The two previous NextStage classes have featured artists such as Parker McCollum, Lainey Wilson, Riley Green and Tenille Townes. The class of 2022 includes Breland alongside Elvie Shane, Morgan Wade and more to be announced. Fans can catch Breland as he returns to the Grand Ole Opry stage on July 26th.
Recognized as a Breakthrough Artist by Amazon Music earlier this year, Breland has launched Brecap, his new live radio show on Amp, the new live radio app from Amazon, where he discusses music, sports, culture, and more with friends. Tap in weekly here to listen to his take on everything.
To kick off July, Breland joined the USO, service members and local community at Fort Jackson’s Hilton Field in Columbia, SC, for an Independence Day celebration on July 2nd, performing a free concert to honor our nation’s history and express gratitude for all those who serve. Continuing on the road this summer, he’ll hit stages from coast to coast including the inaugural TidalWave Festival on August 12th.
Tune in as the rapidly rising star will be featured on ABC’s CMA Fest special airing on Wednesday, August 3rd, with his highly anticipated debut album, Cross Country, arriving on September 9th. Named for the boundary-pushing, genre-bending style that defines all his music, Cross Country firmly establishes Breland as a vital new force shaping the future of country music.
