Brooks and Dunn [CANCELLED] at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre

In 1990, at the suggestion of Nashville-based music executive Tim DuBois, former solo artists Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn (both vocalists and songwriters) came together to form the country music duo Brooks & Dunn. Signing a contract with Arista Nashville the following year, they found instant success with their debut single "Brand New Man," which was released that June and topped the Hot Country Songs chart. "Brand New Man" was the first of 50 singles that Brooks and Dunn have released throughout their career, and the first of 20 number ones on the Hot Country Songs chart. An additional 19 of the pair's singles have reached the top 10 on the chart, making 39 top 10 hits overall. "My Maria" (a cover of the B.W. Stevenson song) and "Ain't Nothing 'bout You", two of the duo's number one hits, were named by Billboard as the top country songs of 1996 and 2001 respectively. Brooks & Dunn have also enjoyed huge success with their albums – with the exception of only two of their albums, they have all been certified platinum or higher by the RIAA. 2009 saw the duo retire from music, but in 2015 they came together again to join with country star Reba McEntire for a Las Vegas residency. Among many other honors and accolades, Brooks & Dunn have won the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal twice, and in 2019, they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
