Grammy-nominee Breland is slated to tour with Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE) in 2024 as part of their annual Heat Wave campaign. The tour offers shows on Hawaii bases, July 3 – 4.
Boundary-shattering, break-out star, Breland is pushing the possibilities of country music on a global scale. Since the arrival of his PLATINUM-certified debut single “My Truck,” the New Jersey-native singer, songwriter and producer has amassed more than 1.1 billion career streams, brought his crowd-thrilling live show to an international headline tour, and gained acclaim from many of the world’s leading music publications, such as Rolling Stone, that hailed him as “a symbol of Country music’s ongoing evolution,” and Billboard, that called him as a “keen, visionary solo artist.”
On his critically acclaimed, gold-certified 2022 debut album “Cross Country,” the Bad Realm Records, Atlantic Records and Warner Music Nashville-artist introduced a high-energy sound that blurs the barriers of country, pop, hip-hop, soul and southern gospel, offering up smash hits like the gold-certified “Praise The Lord,” featuring Thomas Rhett. A blockbuster year for Breland, 2023 included such triumphs as teaming up with superstar Keith Urban to open the 16th annual “Academy of Country Music (ACM) Honors” by performing their gold-certified collaboration “Throw It Back.” Immediately following the performance, Breland received the ACM Lift Every Voice award, recognizing his role in “elevating underrepresented voices throughout the country music genre, transcending demographics and geography.”
Released in September, “Cross Country: The Extra Mile” delivers a star-packed bonus version of his full-length debut album with six fresh tracks, including a brand-new feature with Brittney Spencer on the longtime live favorite song, “Cowboy Don’t.” He has had several high-profile television appearances to date, including “Good Morning America,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “The Voice” and “TODAY.” He spent much of 2023 on the road supporting the legendary Shania Twain “Queen of Me” tour in the United States and United Kingdom, with stops at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden, and taking his tour, “The Extra Mile” across the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. A truly magnetic live performer, Breland has also graced the stage at major festivals like Stagecoach and C2C: Country to Country Festival, fulfilling his mission of uniting audience members from all walks of life with his wildly joyful music.
Since 1951, AFE has been providing the best performances for U.S. troops and their families stationed overseas and they are committed to boosting the morale and well-being of service members through world-class live events and performances.
