QDR Concert for Carolina: David Lee Murphy, Parmalee

×

Expand

Best known for his 1995 singalong- friendly smash “Dust on the Bottle,” David Lee Murphy has since co-written country chart-toppers for Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, and Thompson Square. Murphy’s own recordings have a distinct rock flair that Parmalee can only aspire to with its tepid pop-country. Sanford’s Britton Buchanan rocketed to fame with a runner-up finish on last season of The Voice thanks to his prowess with covers, while rising Nashville star Brandon Lay adds autobiographical, small-town pop-country anthems. Proceeds benefit the NC Disaster Relief Fund. —Spencer Griffith
