Kix Brooks celebrated the upcoming release of his Arista Nashville debut solo album, New To This Town, last night (7/16) at a listening party at Nashville’s Flyte. The project will hit shelves Sept. 11. Brooks produced the 12-song collection and tapped Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts to co-produce the title track. Brooks also co-wrote nine of the songs.
“I made an album that really is close to my heart, and it’s a whole lot of fun,” shares Brooks. “For the most part, the music’s just…it’s kind of fun and games and hangin’ it out there and thinkin’ about gettin’ back in a lot of those clubs and festivals and gettin’ to play again. It’s like, you know, people come to enjoy themselves, and I think this album in a lot of ways is about that.”
On July 10 Brooks made his solo debut on the Grand Ole Opry.
