I’ve had the pleasure to collaborate with this bunch over the 20 year span of my Brooks and Dunn days as well as my latest solo projects. Being able to share the stage with them is extra special. It was also fun to sing and joke around with one of country music’s most promising new comers, Brett Eldredge. I am a big fan and look forward to watching him soar.” -Ronnie Dunn - George EzraE5
