Kane Brown Plays PPG Paints Arena (Fri., 3/29/24)

Want to know what makes Kane Brown a country-music sensation? Check out “Worship You” in the video above. It’s a beautifully clever twist of a song, weaving together Brown’s Christian faith and his irresistible attraction to a woman, all delivered silky-smooth. Then you have his ability to shift gears—as in “I Can Feel It,” full of lines sung dexterously rapid-fire in a rap-like tempo. Brown is the very model of a modern major superstar, and he’s come a long way to get to this stage. Raised in considerably less-than-wealthy circumstances in rural Georgia and elsewhere, he auditioned for “American Idol” but didn’t make the cut. So he tried the online DIY route, uploading his covers of hits by various artists and crowdfunding an EP. Then finally he rose to the big time, from touring as an opening act to getting signed by the RCA Nashville label. Now, after three studio albums and counting, he’s performing in top-shelf venues nationwide. Brown’s latest album is 2022’s Different Man. Kane Brown comes to PPG Paints Arena on his In the Air Tour, with guests Tyler Hubbard and Parmalee. 7 p.m. 1001 Fifth Ave., Uptown. (M.V.)
