Brooks & Dunn’s country-duo history meets an Australian run
Brooks & Dunn are an American country duo comprising Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn. Their music sits firmly in the country tradition, with a catalogue built across recordings, arena performances and festival appearances.
The Country Music Hall of Fame’s biography of the duo traces their partnership to Nashville and identifies Brand New Man as the debut album that launched them to prominence. The Australian itinerary combines that country-duo identity with a festival headline slot and four arena dates.
