Brandon Lay has been opening shows for Kenny Chesney on his Trip Around the Sun stadium tour, and he says it’s pretty exciting to be on the road with someone he grew up idolizing.
“It’s like Christmas morning every Saturday. It’s crazy,” says Brandon. “Obviously growing up a Kenny fan, just to be on the tour was a very surreal moment hearing that he dug what I did and thought I’d be a good way to kick off his tour. So, definitely not a role that me and my band take lightly, and it’s just been, we’re not even halfway through the tour yet, but it’s already been such an education. I’m just trying to soak it up and enjoy it.”
Brandon, who just released his new single “Yada Yada Yada,” will make a stop at the Country Stampede in Manhattan, Kansas on Thursday (June 21st) before joining back up with Kenny at Chase Field in Phoenix on Saturday (June 23rd).

I’m just trying to soak it up and enjoy it and obviously, it’s been a platform for fans of new country music and people that enjoy the discovery process, it’s been the absolute platform for that, so we’re very fortunate.”
