LoCash Set To Release New Studio Album BROTHERS on March 29

The acclaimed country duo, LOCASH announced their new full-length album, Brothers, will be released March 29 and is available now for pre-order digitally. This will be the “separated at birth singing partners,” (Rolling Stone) Preston Brust and Chris Lucas’ first project with their new label family, Wheelhouse Records/BBR Music Group. The title is derived not only from the undeniable bond the two share but also from one of the pair’s main objectives for the project: bringing people together.

The twosome, often mistaken as biological brothers thanks to an inexplicable natural chemistry, crafted Brothers with a worldly message in mind “everybody is connected, even if it isn’t by blood.” Chock-full of feel-good tunes that make you want to call up friends, reminisce and make new memories Brothers has a neighborly sentiment woven throughout the project that makes the camaraderie of the pair almost palpable. 

“At the end of the day, we are all brothers and sisters. We’ve all seen our share of sunshine and rain (I know Preston and I certainly have). In order to get through it all, we all need to lean on each other,” said Chris Lucas of LOCASH. “This album is all about recognizing that brotherhood and bringing people together.”

Persevering through several tough breaks (and a handful of small independent deals) throughout the years has only strengthened the twosome. The hardships have pushed Brust and Lucas, and their families, to become closer-than-kin and that much more commited to their music and their creative partnership. Despite the setbacks, the guys have been able to accomplish a great deal as a pair including earning three #1 singles, three major award nominations and a slot on Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s SOUL 2 SOUL Tour.

“We wanted to create music that folks can just get lost in for a minute, put their struggles and differences aside and just enjoy the moment,” said Preston Brust of LOCASH. “We wanted Brothers to almost be a soundtrack to those standout moments in life where everybody is enjoying life to the fullest.”

Listeners got their first taste of the duo’s feel-good project with the fall release of “Feels Like a Party,” which debuted at Country radio as #1 Most Added and Taste of Country immediately dubbed “an unbiased, anthemic sing-along.” Written by LOCASH’s own Brust and Lucas along with the track’s co-producers, Corey Crowder and Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard (who also co-wrote the title track), the song emits undeniable party vibes with a laid-back groove and “makes the pair’s party-minded harmonies gleam in the harsh light of 2018” (Boston Globe).

Jason Aldean Takes “Girl Like You” To The Top Of The Charts

Three-time and reigning ACM “Entertainer of the Year” Jason Aldean earns his 22nd career No. One as “Girl Like You” takes the top spot on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck Singles chart while it spends its second week atop Billboard’s Country Airplay this week.

Serving as the third consecutive multi-week chart topper from his record-breaking eighth studio album album REARVIEW TOWN (Broken Bow Records), the genre-blending song follows the success of his multi-week No. One “Drowns the Whiskey” featuring Miranda Lambert and the PLATINUM hit, “You Make It Easy.” Its “blustery production matches Aldean’s angst-filled vocal delivery” (Rolling Stone) once again “pushing the boundaries of country music” (USA Today). 

“This album is such a big part of the last year for me,” said Aldean. “It also reminds me how badass the band, people behind the scenes and supporters like Country Radio are who continue to help me do this every day. And the fans, can’t thank you enough for taking this ride with us.”

Aldean will fuse this type of “emotion-driven country rock that earned him a spot as one of the top live performers” (UPROXX) on the road this summer with his 2019 RIDE ALL NIGHT TOUR launching May 3rd in Uncasville, CT, with special guests Kane Brown, Carly Pearce and Dee Jay Silver.
