Superstar singer/songwriter Kane Brown joins host Mike Adam this week for a special Audacy Check In from the Hard Rock Hotel New York, to discuss his brand new album, ‘The High Road,’ family life as a father of three, and plenty more.

Country-crossover superstar Kane Brown just dropped his fourth studio album, 'The High Road,' on January 24, featuring 18 tracks including his hit “Miles On It” with Marshmello, as well as the previously released singles, “Fiddle In the Band,” “I Can Feel It,” “Gorgeous,” and "Backseat Driver," and the duets “Body Talk" and "Do Us Apart" with his wife, Katelyn Brown.

“I think Country music is just getting a lot of cool, new elements to the music that's getting added,” Kane tells us, “plus the storytelling. There's a lot of cool artists in Country music that's really stepping out, I'd say.”

Now a proud father of three, Kane says aside from 'The High Road,' his kids “will listen to anything. I would say recently, it's been like Dubstep ‘Wheels on the Bus,’ and when that comes on, I usually go crazy too.” His wife, Katelyn, is “a huge R&B fan,” he adds, so the little ones have been getting exposed to “big voices in general… Whitney Houston, anybody with a crazy big voice is what she's trying to get them to listen to… and then of course the Disney princesses.”

Kane says he and Katelyn are also attempting to get the kids to watch the classic flicks they grew up with as well. “I'll be like, ‘This was daddy's favorite movie,’ and then Kate will show them her favorite movies. The funniest story I have is, Kate's deathly afraid of ‘E.T.,’ and so I told my kids about ‘E.T.,’ and so now they love ‘E.T.’ and they've just been walking around going, ‘E.T. phone home!’” Luckily for everyone, play-dates in the Kane household never seem to be too far off. “[In] Country music, everybody has a kid,” Kane laughs. “It’s just a big family.”

With his new record now on shelves, Kane is getting set to hit the road on his 2025 'The High Road Tour' which kicks off on March 13 in San Diego, CA and wraps on July 13 in Chicago, IL. Along for support on select dates with him will be Mitchell Tenpenny, Scotty McCreery, Dasha, and Ashley Cooke. Tickets are on sale now... Click HERE for a full list of tour dates.
