Brice’s hit song “Crazy Girl” performed by the Ely Young Band has been nominated for Song of the Year from the Academy of Country Music. He has also penned hit songs for country music greats Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw.
“We are excited about the entertainment we have planned for the 4th of July,” said event coordinator Jeffrey Dillard. “It will be a family event where you can enjoy the park, the music, the food and other activities we are scheduling.”

Brice, a three-time ACM nominee released his debut album Love Like Crazy on Curb Records in June 2010. The title track, “Love Like Crazy,” climbed to the top five songs on the charts and was named Billboard’s #1 country song for that year.
His latest hit is “A Woman Like You” released earlier this year from his sophomore album due to hit stores in April.
“The 4th of July event at Cherokee Park has a rich tradition of providing quality family entertainment for our area,” Hamblen County Mayor Bill Brittain said. “We tweaked the event some to ensure that the event remains one of the best in East Tennessee. We think it will be a fun night.”
