Jessica Northey of Country Music Chat Takes Fans Into A Twitter Chat With Lee Brice Monday Oct.21st

Country artist, songwriter and musician Lee Brice is a triple threat in country music, with the hit singles

 "A Woman Like You","Hard 2 Love", "I Drive Your Truck" and his newest single "Parking Lot Party" one 

may feel threatened by his success, however that is not the case. Brice may not perform every song he's ever written or produced he sure has a good grasp on career and reality. As real and honest as Lee Brice is he sure stands firmly on who he is mistakes and all. In Monday night's +Country Music Chat ~ #CMchat+  twitter chat hosted by country music social media "IT" girl +Jessica Northey.  Brice and Northey bring the best out in each other on a professional level it's hard to fathom these two not getting along. On the contrary these two are much like two peas in a pod. What you see is what you get!

Northey asks Brice some hard hitting questions, though livens it up at times without the boring effect, among community fan questions from the fans themselves. Though at times questions and answers are run through quickly without a breath to stop and catch I was unable to comment on every fan question asked to Lee. With a possible couple community fan questions from Northey  and one that mainly come to mind is, what is your favorite Lee Brice song and why? As an answer I would give honestly is having a personal connection to the lyrics of a song and that one song is Hard 2 Love, I have my quirks and flaws yet still can be hard to love. Brice's easiness is as comfortable as it would be just being with family. Lee Brice is more than a country music star he's a pretty normal guy, down to earth and quite laid back.
