Popular Country Star Lee Brice Spotted in Newburyport, Massachusetts
The Goat is a fan favorite in New Hampshire with locations in Manchester, Portsmouth, and Hampton.
It is a place where people indulge in simple pleasures like 2-for-1 burgers and adult milkshakes:
They are also known for having tons of live music (especially country). If you are seeking out a party any night of the week, chances are you will find one at one of The Goat locations.
Their newest location in Newburyport is quickly gaining popularity. It opened this past Spring and has captured that same charm as its preceding locations, except this one is right on the water so the patio cannot be beat.
The Goat Newburyport location recently posted a photo on Instagram and Facebook of the country star Lee Brice popping in to say hi!
They captioned the photo:
"You never know who you’ll bump into at The Goat!"
What is our boy doing in the area? He doesn't have a show until October 25th at the MGM music hall in Boston. Is he planning to just kick it around New England until then? If so, prepare yourself for more Lee cameos at your favorite New England spots.
If you are a fan of country music, you know Lee Brice. He has tons of radio hits like "One of them Girls" "Hard to Love", "Rumor" and my personal favorite "Soul."
I also would like to mention he was one of the most down to earth, humble, artists I have met during my time in country radio. This is the moment we became best friends in 2018 before he took the stage at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom:
Here are five things you might not know about Lee Brice:
1. He attended college on a football scholarship
That's right, he's a man of many talents. Lee was a lineman on the Clemson University Football team and played as a long snapper on special teams. Like many athletes his career in sports came to a halt due to an arm injury. He had to have surgery and decided to pivot to music instead.
2. Before he ever had a single of his own, he wrote hit singles for other country artists
He co-wrote “More Than A Memory” for Garth Brooks in 2007, “Still” for Tim McGraw in 2010 and wrote popular songs for Adam Gregory and the Eli Young Band.
3. He won three talent contests in high school
Performing was always in Lee's blood and his performances in high school seem to be proof. You could see a future star in a young man who won the show three years in a row. He was into some rock and roll at the time, but Garth Brooks became his idol.
4. His younger brother was a reality television contestant
Remember the show “Can You Duet” on CMT? Lee's younger brother Lewis entered with his best friend David Oakleaf, but they were split by the judges. Lewis was then assigned to partner with Gabe Jordan.
5. His very first performance was in a church
Lee played piano and sang in church before he would go on to wow crowds across the nation. That church is where he would have his very first performance when he was a youngster. He got up to sing/play “Oh How I Love Jesus.” From that moment on, he was hooked.
Tickets are still available to see Lee Brice at the MGM Music Hall in Boston, October 25th. And maybe we will see him kicking it around New England in he meantime, one can only hope!
