Brian Kelley Captures His Beachside Series In New Live Album, Concert Film
Brian Kelley surprised fans with a new live album and concert film, Surf Post Sessions Live, last week via Big Machine Records.
Captured in the backyard of the Tribe Kelley Surf Post in Grayton Beach, Florida (which he owns with his wife Brittney in their Gulf-side hometown), the album and film feature ten of Kelley’s best-loved tracks, stripped back to reveal heartfelt hooks and enduring themes of home, family, legacy and more, and his signature sand-and-sun country sound taped over two nights in July 2024. The album includes a trio of brand-new unreleased songs like the good-life anthem, “Oceanaire,” co-penned by Kelley with Dean Dillon and Ernest Keith Smith, which features golden strains of acoustic guitars and a soothing, waves-on-the-shore rhythm.
The projects celebrate his Surf Post Sessions series which Kelley started in 2022, and now boasts over 40 sold-out headline shows. Each show mixes carefree country creativity and intimate storytelling, featured throughout the full-band performance.
“Surprise! I’m really proud of our Surf Post Sessions and excited to give fans who haven’t been able to join us a live album and concert film to kick back to,” shares Kelley. “To be able to unite as a community and create a little world together for a couple hours in the backyard of our Surf Post has just been good for the soul. Whether you live in town or are just visiting, we get to hang out as neighbors – just vibe and enjoy music together. I hope y’all dig this live cut, and we get to see some new faces come this SPRING BREAK 2025!”
