Brett Young says he loves to get realtime feedback on his music when he's out on the road playing for fans.

His latest album, Ticket to L.A., has been out for about seven months now, and Brett shares, “It’s been really special watching people react to the whole album. Because everything is so digital, you can kind of watch what songs are grabbing onto people and how you pick the songs for your set, which album tracks.”

Young adds, “We get to watch them react to these songs live. And that’s always my favorite, when we’re picking what the next single will be or where to shift things around in the set, it’s always fun to watch people react to them live. It really helps to kind of direct your next move as an artist as well, and so it’s always kind of a little bit nerve wracking but exciting and fun at the same time.”

He plays a show at the Madison County Fair in Madison, Nebraska on Saturday (7/13).

Brett recently shared a photo of he and his pregnant wife Taylor in a photo shoot from the June CMT Awards posting, "First award show and red carpet for this little angel baby."
