Last Friday night (5/9), LOCASH stunned a packed house at the Grand Ole Opry with a powerhouse four-song set as part of this year’s Opry 100 celebration. The duo concluded the evening with a wildly energetic rendition of their PLATINUM-certified signature staple “I Love This Life” accompanied by surprise guests Savannah Bananas.

Donning instantly recognizable yellow uniforms, the cult favorite baseball team danced, clapped, and sang along in a call-and-response with the crowd. Stepping up to the plate, LOCASH’S Preston Brust even rocked a custom Savannah Bananas jersey. Feeling the love in the room, he and Chris Lucas carried the classic chorus, “I love my small-town world. I love a country girl. I love a Friday night. Man, I love this life,” boosted by harmonies from the audience. 
 
Beyond igniting “I Love This Life” and “One Big Country Song” on stage, the band delivered showstopping performances of two songs from their acclaimed new album Bet The Farm, namely “Wrong Hearts,” which is their next single set to impact Country radio on 5/19, and the massive multi-week #1 smash “Hometown Home.” This notably marked yet another incredible return by LOCASH at the Grand Ole Opry and, of course, the first by Savannah Bananas. Back in March, LOCASH and Savannah Bananas made history together and electrified the first-ever Banana Ball halftime show at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL, electrifying a SOLD-OUT crowd of 65,000 fans.
 
Next up, the boys descend upon the Big Apple to headline The Bitter End in New York, NY, on Monday May 19.
 
Last month, LOCASH unveiled Bet The Farm out now via their own Galaxy Label Group. Listen here. Since the top of the year, LOCASH have rallied fans and tastemakers around this body of work. To date, the duo has tallied a total of 10 MILLION-plus streams across tracks, while lead single “Hometown Home” soared to #1 at Country radio. It not only captured the #1 spot on the Billboard Country Airplay and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Airplay charts, but it also added to a growing list of career #1s —check out the story on Billboard. Plus, it registered the first #1 from the debut release on their label, Galaxy Label Group.

Engaging audiences in advance of Bet The Farm’s arrival, the two chatted with Billboard about their “significant” milestone, the new album, and what's ahead for their own Galaxy Label Group. Meanwhile, Entertainment Focus praised, “LOCASH continues to both reflect and drive the genre forward with skill and verve.” 

Not to mention, LOCASH stopped by Taste of Country Nights for a hilarious and heartwarming interview, and they dished on balancing fatherhood and Country stardom during an episode of Superstar Power Hour on Audacy. In addition to looks from MusicRow and more, Backstage Country  featured them, praising their “songs with traditional country music and modern flair” and dubbing them “one of the hardest-working, fun-loving duos in country music.”

Bet The Farm finds LOCASH in top form, delivering singalong-worthy hooks, high-octane production, and elite songcraft. Teeming with energy, the music feels tailormade for the road as well, which the guys will bring to life on stages across North America very soon. Standing out as their most personal, passionate, and poignant body of work to date, the duo’s Chris Lucas and Preston Brust thread messages of resilience, determination, belief, and positivity into the LP’s musical tapestry of arena-ready Country and classic songcraft uplifted by Pop ambition and Rock ‘n’ Roll grit. 

Ultimately, LOCASH have written a soundtrack to persevering no matter what, treasuring what you’ve got, loving unconditionally, keeping the faith, and living your truth. 

ABOUT LOCASH:
A PLATINUM-selling duo who play by their own rulebook, LOCASH make feel-good Country music with a small-town spirit and big-time impact. Out now, Bet The Farm serves as the brand-new album from singer/songwriters Preston Brust and Chris Lucas and features fan favorites like “Isn’t She Country” and “Buzzin” alongside “When I’m Older.” These add to a hit-stacked catalog that already includes their 2015 PLATINUM breakout “I Love This Life,” GOLD #1s “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody,” eight chart-climbing singles, and over 1 BILLION global streams. In a bright start to the new year, the Nashville duo appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America in January and performed their two-week #1 Country radio single “Hometown Home,” a carefree anthem that marked the first release from their very own Galaxy Label Group. Launched last year and distributed by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the one-of-a-kind record label allows Brust and Lucas to maintain complete creative control over their music while mentoring a whole new generation of like-minded stars. LOCASH’s bold and soulful brand of Country has garnered nominations from the genre’s biggest award shows and earned raves from the likes of American Songwriter (who praised the duo for “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs”).  After wrapping up a jam-packed 2024 — whose highlights included teaming up with Monster Jam to create their own limited-edition die-cast truck and playing stadiums all over the country as support for Kane Brown’s IN THE AIR TOUR — LOCASH are now gearing up for a nonstop year of in-demand headline shows and major festival appearances.
