(AUDIO) BRETT YOUNG USES HIS LIVE SHOWS AS A BAROMETER FOR HIS MUSIC

Brett Young just kicked off his Caliville Tour this past weekend, and he’s excited to be able to get out and get people’s first hand reactions to his music because he says, “The opportunity to share the music at the end of the day, once it’s produced and you’ve written it, to get out on the road and actually play it every night is the real opportunity to see how it’s connecting with people. Because you have social media outlets and you get to see Twitter and Instagram and all that stuff and people have some things to say but when you watch a full audience full of people and their reaction to stuff it’s kind of like my barometer of how the song is going to do.”

So far, the reaction to Brett’s latest single, “Like I Loved You,” seems to indicate that he’s got another hit on his hands.
