Speaker 1: All right, hanging in studio. It's been a minute, and
0:02
Speaker 1: I'd imagine the next time we talked to you it
0:05
Speaker 1: might be across the street instead. Kane Brown is with us.
0:07
Speaker 1: What's up a man?
0:08
Speaker 2: How are you? Oh? I'm Gray? How are you doing?
0:10
Speaker 1: Not bad? Congratulations is on the massive news.
0:12
Speaker 2: Thank you.
0:12
Speaker 3: I was just walking or walking into the building and
0:15
Speaker 3: I was like, it's crazy to think my name is
0:17
Speaker 3: going to be on a sign on Broadway.
0:19
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask because last time you we
0:22
Speaker 1: last time we caught up, I think was on Zoom.
0:23
Speaker 1: But you were in this in this studio about two
0:26
Speaker 1: years ago and I had asked, Hey, you think a
0:28
Speaker 1: bar whatever happened? And you literally looked out the window
0:31
Speaker 1: looked in that direction. He said, I don't know. Maybe
0:33
Speaker 1: we'll think come up with some at some point. So
0:36
Speaker 1: from that two years ago to now, I'm just gonna
0:40
Speaker 1: say it as blunt as possible, what was the hold up?
0:42
Speaker 1: What was the two years?
0:43
Speaker 2: Because obviously I think we've had the building for two years.
0:45
Speaker 2: We just kind of announced it.
0:47
Speaker 3: Okay, So we've been looking at everybody else's and just
0:49
Speaker 3: seeing what we wanted to do to ours, and it's
0:52
Speaker 3: taking our time with it, not just rushing into it.
0:54
Speaker 3: So it's been cool just to be able to basically
0:58
Speaker 3: just plan out what I wanted and getting to pick
1:00
Speaker 3: all the little details and everything.
1:02
Speaker 2: I'm excited for the openings so everybody can see it well.
1:04
Speaker 1: And that's something I did want to ask too, because
1:06
Speaker 1: a lot of artists, when they get to the opportunity
1:09
Speaker 1: to like do the bar thing, it's like, slap my
1:12
Speaker 1: name on it, check shows up, whatever happens. But I
1:15
Speaker 1: want to ask, how involved are you in that this
1:17
Speaker 1: is what this floor is gonna look like? This is
1:19
Speaker 1: this floor?
1:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're super involved in it.
1:21
Speaker 3: It's gonna be very different, even all the way to
1:24
Speaker 3: the color scheme, just kind of my brand. You know,
1:29
Speaker 3: it's gonna be I believe the first floor is kind
1:31
Speaker 3: of like Broadway. We didn't take too much. I mean
1:34
Speaker 3: we changed it a little bit, but not crazy. And
1:36
Speaker 3: then as you go up, like there's another but there's
1:39
Speaker 3: gonna be another bar inside of it called Dusk, which
1:42
Speaker 3: is like a cool like spot that I would hang out.
1:46
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just gonna be different than anything
1:48
Speaker 3: else on Broadway.
1:50
Speaker 1: You have done things since the first day I met
1:53
Speaker 1: you in Vegas. You have done things your way and
1:57
Speaker 1: it has been successful. So what is is it very
2:00
Speaker 1: important for you? Like, hey, this is if I'm doing it,
2:02
Speaker 1: like this is my project?
2:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I want to go there, you know, So
2:07
Speaker 3: it's just cool instead of saying like I threw my
2:09
Speaker 3: name on it, I had something to do with it,
2:11
Speaker 3: you know.
2:13
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna try to be there.
2:14
Speaker 3: I quit drinking, which is weird, but I'm gonna try
2:16
Speaker 3: to be there like once every week maybe for at
2:19
Speaker 3: least the.
2:19
Speaker 2: Start of it.
2:20
Speaker 1: And I tell your wife's like no, we're.
2:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna go and hang out.
2:24
Speaker 3: You'll never know when to pop up, and I'll be
2:26
Speaker 3: there just I'll I mean, I've bought the whole bar
2:29
Speaker 3: shots at Dirk Bentley, so I might as well do it.
2:31
Speaker 2: My boy.
2:33
Speaker 1: It's a tax right off at your bar over at Dirks,
2:35
Speaker 1: you just lose your fun. It's like advertising, what's what's
2:42
Speaker 1: what's the importance of brand for you? Because you people
2:45
Speaker 1: can't just be artists and be successful anymore. It's almost
2:48
Speaker 1: like you need a brand, right, like, so hey, I sing,
2:50
Speaker 1: but like also I have this spot and I do this.
2:53
Speaker 1: And we were just talking about how Adidas needs to
2:56
Speaker 1: make a deal with Caane Brown because I think Kane
2:58
Speaker 1: Brown merch would be so Adidas. Get it done.
3:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean's working on a ten percent.
3:04
Speaker 1: And we're gonna clip this and we're gonna tag Adidas
3:06
Speaker 1: and it's gonna come through because Kane Brown Adidas merch
3:08
Speaker 1: would be legit go plus plus. I know you play basketball,
3:12
Speaker 1: I know you're active, Like why not Kane Brown? You're
3:14
Speaker 1: a dad, speaks to dads.
3:16
Speaker 2: I'm just rock Adida stuff. I'm a dad.
3:18
Speaker 1: See that's I think the check literally writes itself. How
3:23
Speaker 1: is life going away from music? Obviously the bar is
3:26
Speaker 1: keeping you busy? What are other things you got your
3:27
Speaker 1: hands in?
3:28
Speaker 2: Right now? We're working on new music. We're going on
3:31
Speaker 2: the album. Really excited for it.
3:33
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm motivated like the you know when
3:35
Speaker 3: I first got in the game again, I haven't felt
3:37
Speaker 3: that feeling in a while, so that's exciting. And then
3:42
Speaker 3: really just you know, being a dad, uh, boxing, working
3:46
Speaker 3: out and trying to get like other deals it comes
3:50
Speaker 3: to protein powders or anything like that.
3:53
Speaker 2: Dimatized shadow, Yeah, we.
3:55
Speaker 1: Will clip and tag uh when when it comes to uh,
4:00
Speaker 1: the music and being reinvigorated and kind of like the
4:04
Speaker 1: refresh button. I think people forget that what you do
4:08
Speaker 1: is a job. And I don't want to disrespect. Like
4:11
Speaker 1: I know we've talked before. You feel blessed, you feel
4:14
Speaker 1: you know, fortunate that you get to do this and
4:16
Speaker 1: you love it, But like dude, it's a job. Sometimes
4:18
Speaker 1: the tour bus sucks, the plane sucks. Not being home
4:21
Speaker 1: for three weeks at the time sucks. So it being
4:26
Speaker 1: refreshed is important to you. What what brought you there?
4:30
Speaker 2: Honestly, I think I think like.
4:34
Speaker 3: Work working out, Like I've went in different schemes of it,
4:38
Speaker 3: so I lost my competitiveness and I kind of was
4:41
Speaker 3: just like an autopilot just cruising. And once I started
4:45
Speaker 3: working out, I went to just you know, just lifting.
4:47
Speaker 3: Doing it every day made me feel better. And then
4:49
Speaker 3: I got to I went to like bodybuilding, and so
4:51
Speaker 3: I feel like that got me on a a schedule
4:55
Speaker 3: because I was having to do like, only eat this
4:57
Speaker 3: many calories and that, you know, it was kind of
4:59
Speaker 3: just like turning my brain back on to you can
5:03
Speaker 3: do whatever you put your mind to. And I think
5:06
Speaker 3: once I got into boxing, that's like the last mode
5:10
Speaker 3: that switched me to I want to be a competitor again,
5:13
Speaker 3: so I wanted to. I've been getting in a lot
5:16
Speaker 3: more writing rooms and trying to find this sound, you know,
5:21
Speaker 3: getting back to actually singing, because if I'm not on
5:23
Speaker 3: stage and I'm not singing, and used to when I
5:25
Speaker 3: wasn't on stage, I would sing all the time, you know,
5:27
Speaker 3: I was trying to show you my face. So I'm
5:29
Speaker 3: doing vocal lessons like every day now and just trying
5:32
Speaker 3: to get back into the routine of being competitive.
5:35
Speaker 1: You, especially most recently with the song you did with Jelly.
5:39
Speaker 1: You've always been a guy who doesn't hide behind mental
5:42
Speaker 1: health stories. Does the success now that the bar is
5:47
Speaker 1: going to be a thing and you're feeling more, you know,
5:50
Speaker 1: renewed in your career, how is that help mentally behind
5:54
Speaker 1: the scenes for you? I'd imagine that's got to be
5:56
Speaker 1: all good things, right.
5:57
Speaker 2: No.
5:57
Speaker 3: No, So, as weird as it is, I was in
6:00
Speaker 3: like that dark headspace for a while, like the autopilot stage.
6:05
Speaker 1: I feel like even last time we talked to you
6:06
Speaker 1: were a little.
6:06
Speaker 3: Kind of like, yeah, I was like, I'm just here,
6:09
Speaker 3: you know, But it's just I don't know. I feel
6:12
Speaker 3: like once things started to change, and my mood started
6:15
Speaker 3: changes when all this started falling place. Like I said,
6:17
Speaker 3: we've been talking about the bar for two years but
6:19
Speaker 3: never happened. And then it's like, once my head is
6:22
Speaker 3: here and I'm like, oh, this is sick. This year
6:23
Speaker 3: is gonna be my year, my album blah blah blah blah,
6:25
Speaker 3: and they're like, hey, we're opening the bar. It's just
6:27
Speaker 3: like all the good things started to fall into place
6:29
Speaker 3: with it. So I think that's just you know, always
6:32
Speaker 3: telling yourself that going back to what I did at
6:35
Speaker 3: the beginning was just telling myself I believe to myself basically,
6:38
Speaker 3: and I'm back to believing.
6:40
Speaker 1: That's awesome, dude. And I can even tell. And it's
6:43
Speaker 1: not like we talk all the time, but I can
6:45
Speaker 1: even tell from the interactions we've had over the last year,
6:48
Speaker 1: year and a half to today, Like it's like I
6:51
Speaker 1: got came brown two point ohsen in front of you. Yeah,
6:54
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I'm happy for you, man, Thank you. We're
6:57
Speaker 1: getting ready for it. We're going to talk about the
6:58
Speaker 1: new music. But I want to hit the Iheartcunt Festival
7:00
Speaker 1: that's coming up in May. Capitol One always helps us
7:02
Speaker 1: throw down a massive party in Austin. You've done it before,
7:06
Speaker 1: You're back. This year we got Riley Green, Luke Bryant,
7:09
Speaker 1: Gretz and Wilson, so many more artists taking the stage.
7:12
Speaker 1: You don't even need me, that's get out of here.
7:14
Speaker 1: Yes we do, Yes, we do. When it comes to
7:17
Speaker 1: shows like that, is it still are you in a
7:20
Speaker 1: headspace where you can be like, wow, this is like
7:23
Speaker 1: when shows get booked like that right like the iHeart
7:25
Speaker 1: Country Festival, It's like the best of the best. Who's
7:28
Speaker 1: who's who's representing country at a high level right now?
7:31
Speaker 1: And what does that mean for you that your name
7:34
Speaker 1: is on that list?
7:35
Speaker 2: That's exciting for me.
7:37
Speaker 3: Used to I was a little nervous about it, but
7:39
Speaker 3: I'm just excited because if you get everybody's fans coming
7:41
Speaker 3: there and everything that our Heart's done for me too,
7:44
Speaker 3: just you know, getting to help them out. And I'm
7:46
Speaker 3: so honored to be on the show because you don't
7:50
Speaker 3: always get asked, so I feel like it's kind of
7:52
Speaker 3: like a festival almost or an award show. You're like, dang,
7:56
Speaker 3: they didn't ask me this year. So yeah, I'm excited
7:59
Speaker 3: to be there, excited to play some new music, just
8:02
Speaker 3: give the croud a good show.
8:04
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the new music now, because obviously
8:07
Speaker 1: I've seen clips. Woman is out there on social media
8:11
Speaker 1: sat for this song and it feels like you're excited,
8:14
Speaker 1: like in your performance and even obviously you saying you're excited, right,
8:18
Speaker 1: What is it about this song in this new batch
8:21
Speaker 1: of music that you're like, hey, let's get this is
8:23
Speaker 1: going first.
8:24
Speaker 2: So I've always followed my gut when I started doing music,
8:26
Speaker 2: and this song is one of those that I just know,
8:31
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
8:32
Speaker 3: It's like when you just have that no, I know feeling,
8:34
Speaker 3: and that's what this song is. And with y'all helping
8:38
Speaker 3: me and playing it, it's I've showed it to a
8:41
Speaker 3: lot of people and after they hear it, they can't
8:42
Speaker 3: get it out of their heads. So I'm banking on
8:45
Speaker 3: that's what it's going to do this summer and everybody's
8:46
Speaker 3: gonna be jamming it. And my music video is I'm
8:50
Speaker 3: trying to up the game a little bit, So I
8:52
Speaker 3: took like a throwback to the nineties and we're dancing
8:54
Speaker 3: a little bit, and I don't know, I just love.
8:56
Speaker 3: It's a feel good song and it's a great mess.
9:00
Speaker 1: You know. Kane Brown's enjoying this music if he's dancing
9:03
Speaker 1: in the video.
9:03
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I'm trying to. I'm trying to.
9:05
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try and change it up for twenty twenty
9:07
Speaker 3: seven is gonna be crazy. I hope I can keep
9:10
Speaker 3: this mentality I got right now.
9:11
Speaker 1: Just keep dude the same same when it comes to
9:15
Speaker 1: the new music and even your headspace and where you're
9:18
Speaker 1: at and all the awesome things happening away from music
9:20
Speaker 1: as well, what's this new music gonna sound like?
9:26
Speaker 3: So it's actually it's it's I don't even know how
9:28
Speaker 3: to explain it.
9:31
Speaker 2: Definitely like happy, feel good.
9:33
Speaker 3: But we were going to the album yesterday and we
9:37
Speaker 3: don't know all the one hundred percent of the songs
9:38
Speaker 3: that are going to be on there, but all of
9:40
Speaker 3: them had a different message, which I thought was really cool.
9:44
Speaker 3: They have like a dark, darker tone, but are happy
9:50
Speaker 3: songs if that makes any sense. Yeah, And they all
9:54
Speaker 3: sound different and they all have a feel good thing
9:57
Speaker 3: about them, and I get the right. I think this
10:03
Speaker 3: next week coming up and then we got a lot
10:07
Speaker 3: of rights. By then, I think I have to be
10:08
Speaker 3: done by Junior July. Right for the album to be
10:11
Speaker 3: done on time or they got to push it, but
10:14
Speaker 3: we got I think we got plenty of plenty enough
10:15
Speaker 3: songs for an album.
10:16
Speaker 1: Is it? And I know you haven't officially announced a
10:20
Speaker 1: date or anything, but are you Is this like a
10:22
Speaker 1: fall album?
10:23
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, all right, my mom's birthday, do some research.
10:27
Speaker 1: I'm googling and we're gonna tag that in here. Shout
10:30
Speaker 1: out to mom's birthday. When it comes to where you're
10:34
Speaker 1: at headspace wise now and where you've been before, chasing
10:40
Speaker 1: success can happen a lot, right, and and chasing things
10:44
Speaker 1: that are that don't fulfill you, but once you grab it,
10:47
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, if I could just and then you
10:48
Speaker 1: get you're like, oh, And I love asking this question
10:51
Speaker 1: because that's in something that's performance based, that's like a
10:54
Speaker 1: wildly empty feeling, right like a baseball player, if I
10:57
Speaker 1: could just win the World Series, and then it's like
10:59
Speaker 1: the next morning, wake up your like.
11:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the hardest thing with music though, is
11:02
Speaker 3: like what I mean, I don't even know what I
11:06
Speaker 3: would go for. I mean, at first, you know, it
11:09
Speaker 3: used to be like if I got on a TV show,
11:10
Speaker 3: I'd made it, and then I got a record deal.
11:13
Speaker 3: I made it, and the first number one, I made it,
11:15
Speaker 3: and then I'd go home for I'd go home and
11:18
Speaker 3: wouldn't even like it wouldn't even dawn on me what
11:22
Speaker 3: I had done, you know what I mean. So, like,
11:26
Speaker 3: my family's in Florida right now, so I had the
11:28
Speaker 3: house myself yesterday. So I was just going all over
11:31
Speaker 3: my house just looking like, bro, you did this and
11:34
Speaker 3: I don't ever do that.
11:35
Speaker 2: So it was just a cool feeling.
11:38
Speaker 1: And you deserve to, man, because you've literally you've crushed
11:41
Speaker 1: it like you have crushed it. And I know you're
11:43
Speaker 1: not a guy that likes you know, stands on top
11:46
Speaker 1: of just like yeah, chickle the world. But like, dude,
11:49
Speaker 1: you've kicked ass since you've got into country music. Thank you, Yeah,
11:52
Speaker 1: And you deserve to feel that way. The new music's coming.
11:54
Speaker 1: We can't wait, obviously, the iHeart Country Festival's coming. I
11:57
Speaker 1: want to go back to the bar real quick because
12:00
Speaker 1: of where you were at musically when the Bar deal
12:04
Speaker 1: started versus now, have you changed a lot of that
12:07
Speaker 1: to incorporate where the new music's going? Or is this
12:09
Speaker 1: bar Kane is a human versus Kane as an artist.
12:14
Speaker 2: No, I think this is going to be like the
12:15
Speaker 2: Cane of like the new Kane.
12:18
Speaker 3: You know, I've been in there for a decade, my
12:20
Speaker 3: tenth year, and I've kind of tried to just I've
12:22
Speaker 3: always been a people pleaser, like I want everybody to
12:24
Speaker 3: love me. Yeah, and I've been trying to please the
12:27
Speaker 3: wrong people. It's the people that don't listen to me
12:29
Speaker 3: or don't you know, don't give two crabs about me.
12:34
Speaker 3: So basically just I don't know, trying to hide. And
12:36
Speaker 3: now I feel like free. I feel like I just
12:39
Speaker 3: get to do what I want, and that's what this
12:43
Speaker 3: new year is about to be about.
12:45
Speaker 1: God, you're so happy, dude, It's infectious. I can feel it.
12:49
Speaker 1: When it comes to what you want to see happen
12:53
Speaker 1: with the rest of your twenty twenty six is are
12:56
Speaker 1: you happy with what's happening now or are there some things
12:58
Speaker 1: that like, no, this has to happen. We still got
13:00
Speaker 1: this goal and this goal and this goal.
13:02
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:02
Speaker 3: No, No, the twenty twenty six is just the start
13:05
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty seven. You know, usually I feel like
13:08
Speaker 3: that too, as I've waited to the last second for
13:11
Speaker 3: everything because that's just how my personality was. And this year,
13:17
Speaker 3: like I'm trying to get choreographers out for next year
13:21
Speaker 3: for the tour and just trying to do different ideas.
13:24
Speaker 3: I want to do crazy music videos through through everything
13:27
Speaker 3: and just give everybody the content. You know, I was
13:29
Speaker 3: the content king coming in and then I just kind
13:31
Speaker 3: of quit. So I want to take that back over.
13:34
Speaker 1: I love that for you. Man. How are things moving
13:38
Speaker 1: forward with your wife as a performer as an artist,
13:40
Speaker 1: because I know fans are always asking for more. But
13:43
Speaker 1: we talked. I don't know if it was last time
13:44
Speaker 1: or the time before, but she was like, I don't
13:46
Speaker 1: want to get ready for one song, two songs and
13:48
Speaker 1: then when, so are we talking more? We're talking like

Speaker 1: she's going to be mom for a little while.
13:54
Speaker 2: No, no, no, she's still going to be out there.
13:55
Speaker 3: And we're working on another song for her on the
13:58
Speaker 3: album We Got One is coming out. I don't know
14:01
Speaker 3: if we can talk about, but it's on the Disney
14:03
Speaker 3: record Beauty and the Beast smash. It's crazy because you know,
14:08
Speaker 3: we had to compete with like John legend ariana Grande.
14:11
Speaker 3: I never heard of Sebastian. I mean, it's Beauty and
14:15
Speaker 3: the Beast, which I'm not that Kate loves this song.
14:18
