The Back2Back Foundation annual Brice Long & Friends, benefit concert was held Saturday, July 20th at The Alhambra Theatre in downtown Hopkinsville, KY.

Last year the foundation hit a milestone of over $1 Million raised and put back into the communities of Trigg, Christian & Todd counties of KY.  This year’s event surpassed expectations with a total of $107,750 raised.

The Foundation is celebrating its 20th year. Long wanted to mark the anniversary with a special headlining performance by country band McBride & The Ride.  “It’s been amazing what we have been able to accomplish in 20 years. I was so excited these guys were willing and able to come celebrate with us.  It was a phenomenal night of music”, Long commented.

​

Since its inception in 2005, The Back to Back Foundation has helped over 830 families in Christian, Trigg and Todd counties and has raised over $1.1 Million. Along with the Christmas project each year the foundation has helped several local charities.

I am happy to announce I have partnered with WakWay Foundation to support small farms and bring you my very own strawberry jam.  Each jar is individually autographed by me and proceeds benefit Wakway’s small farm initiative and my Back2Back Foundation.

By purchasing from WakWay’s line of Farm to Fork products, you are supporting and empowering small farms and helping my Back2Back Foundation, 2 causes very dear to my heart. That’s a powerful jar of jam!

You know their words and music, but maybe not their names: Write You A Song features country music’s biggest songwriters talking with host Tom Mailey.

With huge hits for artists like Jon Pardi, Randy Houser and Gary Allan, you might think a songwriter can sit back a little and enjoy their success. Not so, as Brice Long explains in this episode of Write You A Song. Growing up on a farm in Kentucky--plus years of grinding it out by writing album cuts for artists like George Strait and Randy Travis--gave Brice a work ethic he says is every bit as important as finding that creative spark and fanning it into a flame.

 The Nashville Stampede, Music City’s first-ever professional bull riding team, has debuted the team’s new anthem, “Stampede,” written and recorded by Sony Music Publishing’s country music singer and songwriter Brice Long.

“Stampede” is available now wherever digital music is streamed and sold.

“Stampede” was created at the request of the team’s Head Coach Justin McBride, who had a brief country music career that began while he was still riding bulls, releasing the albums Don’t Let Go and Justin McBride Live at Billy Bob’s Texas. 

The two-time PBR World Champion strongly believes every sports team needs its own song. McBride chose Long to write and perform the song because he was confident the musician, who had written for him in the past, could bring his vision to life and correctly communicate the team’s values.

Long is the sole writer on the track, and in McBride’s words, “I know it would be good; I just didn’t know it would be that cool.”

It was Pardi’s concept. While he was checked in at some now-forgotten hotel, he heard the “where she at, where she at, where she at tonight” tagline for the chorus in his head and sang it into his phone; he saved the ‘Heartache on the Dance Floor’ title with it. He brought it up as a topic when Butler and fellow songwriter Brice Long met up with him at the Country Stampede in Manhattan, Kan.  A day later at the Country Fest in Cadott, Wis., Butler got on the bus to hear Pardi and Long working on it without him.

It was an honor to have Brice on the Podcast he is beyond talented… a genius songwriter, salt of the earth, humble and a #6 roper...

Knowing he had his third album to complete, Randy got together with a handful of songwriters to start chipping away at ideas. One of those writers was Brice Long, who invited Randy to his office in the Berry Hill area of Nashville to see what they could come up with. After going through several concepts and having no luck, the two broke for lunch to see if stepping away from the writing room would help spark something to write upon their return. “ Brice is one of those writers who is very patient with me and doesn’t get offended if I shoot down a lot of ideas until we collectively come up with the right thing and the right thing to say, ”Randy explains.
