Although he's played dozens of country music festivals across the country, Brett Young has never attended one as a fan - and he blames the beautiful weather in SoCal for it.
"Unfortunately for me being a huge music fan, I also played three sports in Southern California where the weather's always good," he explains in a statement from his label. "So there was literally no time off. If you weren't in season with one of the sports, all three of them had a summer league going. It's the same reason I never had a spring break, I never had a summer break.
"So my first ever concert even that I ever went to was in 1995, I went to Boyz II Men and Montell Jordan. And that was 10 minutes from home where I grew up, and that was just one show.
"And so I had no idea what to expect from festivals until I started playing them myself. And so now I'm kind of itching for a weekend off in the summer to grab [my wife] Taylor and go out and have a festival of our own. But no, I never got to do it. It's kind of one thing I wish I would have had the opportunity to experience."
