Lee Brice along with Nate Smith and Hailey Whitters are sharing the video for their collab, “Drinkin’ Buddies,” climbing the country radio charts.
PEOPLE featured the premiere of the music video for “Drinkin’ Buddies” which features Brice, 45, alongside Whitters, 34, and Smith, 38. The video, directed by Chase Lauer, sees Brice drinking at an empty bar before quickly cutting to him, Smith, and Whitters playing a round of flip-cup in the dive bar. Soon, the video cuts back to a solo Brice who rolls up his sleeves and begins the track. The video continues with group of men drinking beers with each other while playing golf or a group of women playing cards and sipping margaritas and martinis.
Brice said that working with Whitters and Smith “was such a blast! In fact, our day together to just ‘get content’ was so much fun that it turned into a full-on video shoot … Well first off, they are so awesome, talented, and fun…. Second, sometimes one big reason collaborations work out is simply because of schedules too…. I was lucky enough to catch them both at a time where they were open to work with me. Most of it was by accident. Just us drinking buddies hanging out in a bar, but we added some content with some of my friends and some different friend groups doing other drinking buddy things!!!”
Lee is currently out on the road this year playing some of country music’s biggest festivals, and joining Dierks Bentley for select dates of his Gravel and Gold Tour, as well as traveling across the country on his “Label Me Proud” tour until Nov. 16 in Helotes, Texas.
