The first song Brooks & Dunn ever sang together has become their last.
The country music duo closed out a 20-year career at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Thursday night with their 1991 debut single, “Brand New Man,” during the encore.
The sold-out show was the final stop on their Last Rodeo Tour and doubled as a fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Kix Brooks said early in the night, “This isn’t a funeral. We did show up to party.”
They ran through many of their 23 No. 1 hits, including “Neon Moon,” “My Maria,” “Red Dirt Road” and “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” Reba McEntire made the only guest appearance, singing a few lines during “Cowgirls Don’t Cry.”

Taylor Swift opened the door for a lot of young female country singers, but I bet she never expected competition. Meet 14 year old rising country star Cheyanne Welch.
Cheyanne Welch, a California native, has been singing and performing since she was 3 years old, which comes as no surprise after we heard her debut single ‘Perfectly Imperfect’. Cheyanne was discovered by a Virgin Records representative at an event in Los Angeles when she was just 10 years old! Since then Cheyanne has made her way to Nashville and has her eyes set on the Country Music Hall of Fame.
