Lee Brice is blue-eyed, boot-kicken', country lovin'. His earnest, love-laden lyrics fall sweet from an easy drawl. He's currently on an international arena tour with his latest release and third full-length, "I Don't Dance." A Nashville-based songwriter for chart-topping country stars before becoming a performer, Brice seems to pretty much have his hand on the pulse of big country with plenty of ear-worm melodies to boot. Maddie & Tae and Dylan Scott also play.

Lee Brice performs Friday, February 5, at the Blue Cross Arena, 100 Exchange Boulevard. 7:30 p.m. $39.75-$49.75. bluecrossarena.com; leebrice.com.
