The showcase is a fundraiser for the five-decade-old Oasis Center. This Middle Tennessee-based comprehensive youth development agency offers 20+ programs and services (including crisis intervention, youth leadership, community engagement, college and career access), fostering safety, belonging, empowerment and generosity as the organization's core principles.

To date, the BRELAND & Friends festivities have raised over $300,000 for the center.

Jan. 26's ticket launch date will coincide with the release of BRELAND & Friends: Vol. 1 (Live), a set of collaborations from Apr. 12, 2022's inaugural BRELAND & Friends Ryman Auditorium concert featuring duets with Bentley, Hunt, Nelly and Rhett, plus collaborations with Lady A's Charles Kelley and Seaforth on songs including "High Horse," "My Truck" and "Praise The Lord."

In a June 2023 Tennessean feature, the performer noted that he was "well-rested," and that "reflecting on [his five years] in country music" allowed the " joy and passion for what I am trying to accomplish [to return]."

This realization arrived after a frenetic schedule of performances and songwriting sessions yielded BRELAND's 2021-released Dierks Bentley and HARDY duet "Beers On Me " as a No. 1 single.

"I used to write songs that sounded great in studios that streamed well," BRELAND added about his work to come. "Now, in arrangement, melody and production, I am trying to create the honest, emotional music possible that shifts the energy in the room with the power of my presence."
