Brett Young wrapped his third sold out show in his homestate of California at Los Angeles' The Novo on Monday night, making him the first country artist to play three shows in a row at the iconic venue.

On Sunday night (3/24), Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men surprised the crowd by joining Young for a rendition of “Water Runs Dry.” It's a  preview of what’s to come when the GRAMMY-winning group and Brett join forces for a special “CMT Crossroads,” airing tonight.

Meanwhile, Young is toasting to even more career milestones as his previous smash singles “In Case You Didn’t Know” and “Mercy” have earned RIAA 4X platinum and 2X platinum certifications, respectively.
