In 2015, Kane’s song “Used to Love You Sober” was released on iTunes and quickly hit No. 1 on the country singles chart, the song appears on Kane’s RCA Nashville/Zone 4 debut EP aptly titled Chapter 1. Brown is headlining and selling out venues across the country touting a string of over 40 sold out shows and will join headliners Florida Georgia Line when the duo launches their 2016 DIG YOUR ROOTS Tour beginning this month, with select dates on sale now.
