Anyone ever hear of Lee Brice?

Hey all. It's been a while since I checked in and wanted to say hey. Also, has anyone heard of Lee Brice? I met him down here and he's playing a show at the Rock Run Recreational Area on Saturday. If you're into country, check him out. :) Hope all is well with everyone.
