Across all digital platforms now; single to impact country radio on Monday
√ Bryan to perform in Buffalo on June 26
Press release
Five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan has released a brand-new song today, “Country and She Knows It.” Written by Josh Miller, Parker Welling and Matt Dragstrem, and produced by Jeff Stevens, with Jody Stevens and Matt Dragstrem co-producing, the single will impact country radio on Monday, March 30, with multi-chain world premieres. “Country and She Knows It” is available across all digital platforms here. Earlier this month, Bryan gave all 70,000 fans at his Houston Rodeo show a QR code for an exclusive first listen to the song.
“As I gear up for touring season and summer, I really wanted to focus on releasing a song that felt fun and energetic, and the moment the writers sent this one I knew it was it,” Bryan said. “I have always tried to have the mindset to wake up and approach every day as a good day, so being able to share that way of life through my music is something I am honestly grateful for. Can’t wait to look out and see the crowds out of their seat – and bonus if a little dancing is going on.”
The song is the follow-up to the recently released “Word On The Street,” which is the title of his 2026 tour kicking off May 29-30 with back-to-back shows in Gilford, New Hampshire. Openers on the tour include Drew Baldridge, Karley Scott Collins, Lanie Gardner, Randall King, Zach John King, Shane Profitt, Raelynn, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington and DJ Rock. Tickets are available at www.lukebryan.com. The tour is produced by Live Nation.
Bryan will perform in Buffalo on June 26 as part of the “Taste of Country” festival.
Tune in to watch Bryan, along with fellow judges Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie, on “American Idol,” live Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC, streaming the next day on Hulu. Beginning March 30, the show will also stream live on Disney+. Next Monday, the judges will take the stage to perform during the first “Songs of Faith” themed live show of the season. Bryan and Richie will open the show with a performance of “Jesus Is Love” alongside the Top 20, while Underwood will perform “How Great Thou Art” from her Grammy Award-winning gospel hymns album “My Savior” with last season’s three Platinum ticket winners: Filo Ebid, Kolbi Jordan and Canaan James Hill.
This spring, Bryan will return for a second consecutive year to play “Farm Tour” dates in California from May 14-16. Since the tour’s inception in 2009, he has awarded 90 college scholarships to students from farming families attending the local college or university near the tour stops. “Farm Tour” is sponsored by Bayer and Fendt. Tickets are available at LukeBryan.com.
