With twenty No. 1 hits stretching back to 1991, two Grammy Awards, dozens of ACM and CMA honors and a discography counting more album sales than any country duo in history – regardless of genre – Brooks & Dunn’s influence on today’s country has never been in question.
Hits like Boot Scootin’ Boogie, My Maria, Only in America and Believe propelled the duo to more than 30 million albums sold, with the New York Times heralding, “together they helped drive the power-country era of the early-to-mid 1990s and continued to benefit from the sea change in the genre they helped initiate, right through their most recent albums.”
Their original “Merle Haggard meets The Rolling Stones” vibe made them progressive stars in their own right. In 2014 the duo announced their reunion, along with long-time friend Reba McEntire, for a residency called “Together in Vegas” at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, which received rave reviews and continues to be extended including more shows throughout this year.
In September the duo were nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year at the 55th CMA Awards, all of which made it a very easy decision to include Kix and Ronnie in our stable of country stars!
