Ignite the Night will be released August 19 on Columbia Nashville/Dack Janiels Records. The 15-track compilation was produced by Chris DeStefano and features 12 songs that were co-written by Rice, including the Gold-certified, Top 15-and-climbing lead single “Ready Set Roll.” To celebrate the album’s release, which also coincides with his late father’s birthday, Rice will be performing at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on Monday, August 18. Proceeds from the show will be donated to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s® “Light The Night” initiative.
Additionally, Rice is giving fans the chance to win a 1986 Chevy Silverado up-fitted to closely resemble his own prized ’85 ride. Sponsored by Townsquare Media, the contest kicked off August 4 on Taste of Country and The Boot and will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday, August 25. Click here to read the official contest rules or enter for the chance to win.
The $20,000 truck has been up-fitted by Down East Offroad with a 2.5” Skyjacker Suspensions lift, 33” BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A® KO tires and a custom aluminum toolbox. Henry’s Muffler Shop of Raleigh, N.C. also provided a Flowmaster True Dual Exhaust to make the truck a closer replica of Rice’s own.
