Country music concert by Bryan Andrews on his Taking My Flag Back Tour, with Lou Ridley.
Bryan Andrews plays ACL Live at 3TEN on Friday, Nov 20, as part of his Taking My Flag Back U.S. tour. He's the headliner, with Lou Ridley opening the night. The show starts at 8 PM.
If you've come across Andrews on social media, you've probably seen the numbers first: more than 3.8 million TikTok followers and 1.4 million on Instagram. The breakout track that put him on the map, "The Older I Get," topped Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales, Digital Song Sales, and Emerging Artists charts. Since then, he's picked up recognition from Rolling Stone, Billboard, NBC News, and Don Lemon.
Earlier this year, he released Independence Day, an eight-track mixtape that marked America's 250th anniversary. It pulls together several of his viral hits—"Are We Great Yet?", "Yeehaw", "Not See", and "The Older I Get"—alongside new tracks like "Home of the Chained" and "Backwoods Backwards". The Austin date is a stop on the Taking My Flag Back tour, which takes that material on the road.

There's a specific kind of background to the songs. Andrews grew up in Carrollton, Missouri, in a musical house—his father was a high school band teacher and his mother a choir teacher. Before he went into music full-time, he spent more than four years working as a pipe welder, a blue-collar stretch he describes as grounding his songs and pairing authenticity with fearless social commentary. He's become one of country music's most outspoken new voices, and that's the voice you'll hear live.
So, it's Bryan Andrews with Lou Ridley at ACL Live at 3TEN on Friday, Nov 20, starting at 8 PM.
