Jerrod Niemann on Family Feud with Country Music News Blog

TUNE IN: JERROD NIEMANN FACES OFF AGAINST LEE BRICE ON CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD THIS SUNDAY (8/27) Anticipated New Album THIS RIDE Due Out October 6 Multi-platinum Country artist JERROD NIEMANN will face off against good friend and Curb labelmate Lee Brice for what is sure to be a very entertaining edition of Celebrity Family Feud on Sunday night (8/27). Both artists are competing to win $25,000 for charities near to their hearts – Niemann is playing for the USO and Brice for Folds of Honor. Joining Niemann on his family team are his wife Morgan Petek Niemann, brother Joseph Niemann and sisters Amy Jo Stelzer and Julie Schults. After a life-changing USO tour in 2016 throughout Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Romania, the “God Made A Woman” singer will aptly host a live viewing party with service members stationed at USO Fort Campbell. “Playing Family Feud against my great buddy Lee Brice is truly one of my favorite memories ever,” shared Niemann. “We had the chance to enjoy such a unique opportunity with the ones we love, laughing until it hurt and more than anything, competing for causes that are near and dear to our hearts. Raising funds for our American heroes through USO and Folds of Honor made it just that much more special to us. I can’t wait to watch the debut of our episode with some of the brave men and women that provide all the freedoms we are fortunate to enjoy daily.” Marking the beginning of a new chapter for the PLATINUM-certified #1 artist (“Lover, Lover,” “Drink to That All Night”), Niemann is releasing a daring new set of tunes with his fourth studio album and first for Curb, THIS RIDE, on October 6. Regarded as one of Country music’s most progressive artists, he has nearly a decade of outside-the-box success as songwriter, singer, and performer under his belt. Co-produced by Niemann and studio ace Jimmie Lee Sloas, THIS RIDE features 13 inspired songs sourced from a stable of all-star tunesmiths including Shane McAnally, Ashley Gorley, Ross Copperman, Rodney Clawson, Craig Wiseman, Dallas Davidson, Natalie Hemby, Josh Osborne, Chris DeStefano and more. Each track pushes the boundaries of conventional Country wisdom – just as the singer-songwriter-producer has continually done throughout his career. Fans and critics alike have already praised THIS RIDE’s first two singles – the feel-good “A Little More Love” duet with Brice, and the classy romance of current single “God Made A Woman.” ABOUT JERROD NIEMANN: Fueled by a nearly decade-long career, prolific Nashville hitmaker Jerrod Niemann is digging deeper with his forthcoming Curb Records album with the uplifting duet “A Little More Love” (with Lee Brice) and his romantic follow-up single “God Made A Woman.” Known for clever wordplay and attention-grabbing lyrics, the highly engaging singer-songwriter last topped Country charts with his PLATINUM-certified anthem “Drink to That All Night,” a multi-week #1 from the album HIGH NOON – on which he co-wrote eight of the 12 tracks. Niemann first burst onto the scene in Continue reading Jerrod Niemann VS Lee Brice on The Feud!→
