Brett Young and Jordan Davis make their first ever appearance at Iowa State this October.

Earlier this year, Brett Young performed at an Iowa Wild game in Des Moines, while Jordan Davis was seen at the Iowa State Fair in August.

From sharing a stage with acts like Lady Antebellum and Katy Perry, Brett Young is now selling out his own shows and touring the country.

The Academy of Country Music’s “new male vocalist of the year” is originally from California before he moved south to attend college. Young played baseball for University of Mississippi before an elbow injury took him out of the game.

The 37 year old will be setting off on the Caliville Tour later this month with Carly Pearce. Pulling his inspirations from artists like Gavin DeGraw, Young’s music is a mix of “California beaches” and country.  

Young released his self-titled album last year including singles “Sleep without you” and “Mercy.” Young is set to release his new album “Ticket to LA” in December.

Opening for Brett Young on Sunday will be Louisiana-based, “Singles You Up” singer, Jordan Davis. Graduating from Louisiana State University with a degree in resource conversation, Davis decided to take a turn for song writing after graduation.

“[Song writing] was something that I never thought of for a career,” Davis said. “It was something that I was very passionate about.”

Following the footsteps of his family, Davis decided to take up guitar and song writing when he was a child. Around the age of 10, Davis wrote his first song.

Davis made the big move to Nashville and signed with the Universal Music Group Nashville in 2012. Only six years later and his debut album, “Home State,” was released.  

Opening for acts like Chase Rice, David Nail and Kip Moore, Davis has been busy the last year touring the country. Davis is currently on the After the Sunburn Tour with Kip Moore where he has learned a lot about rising to a supporting act.

“I’ve learned how much passion [Kip Moore] puts into his music and their show,” Davis said. “I’ve learned how to connect.”

Rolling Stone named Davis as one of “10 New Country Artist You Need to Know” in June of 2017. This weekend while at Iowa State, Davis will be joined by his producer to “get a vision” of the new record.

“As a writer, you never stop writing,” Davis said.

Davis and Young will be performing at 8 p.m. Sunday at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agricultural Student Learning Center. Tickets can be purchased at the Maintenance Shop box office in the Memorial Union or online at midwestix.com.
