44 Farms announces partnership with LOCASH at Opry
BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records’ chart-topping Country duo LOCASH recently announced their 2024 partnership with 44 Farms, one of the largest registered Black Angus cattle operations in America, live from the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville.
Bonding over their strong values and deep love of America, the relationship between the ranchers and the acclaimed duo sparked after a concert that took place in a red barn on the 44 Farms ranch located in Cameron, TX. Leading to an exclusive song for 44 Farms called “44 Strong,” that same picturesque location is further captured in an adjoining clip, featuring fourth generation rancher and 44 Farms owner Bob McClaren.
“We fell in love with the place the moment we drove onto the ranch. We became old friends with everyone at 44 Farms the minute we shook hands,” shares LOCASH’s Preston Brust.
LOCASH’s Chris Lucas agrees, “We’re storytellers and 44 Farms is a story that needs to be told. America needs to know what ranchers do, day in and day out. “
44 Farms owner Bob McClaren adds, “Ranching is not a job, it’s a lifestyle. The men and women in the cattle industry are honored to work 365 days a year. Rain, snow, or shine. From the moment we met Chris and Preston, we knew they had the passion and voices to sing this story. The song is named ‘44 Strong,’ but it’s not just about 44 Farms, it’s about every American rancher that came before us and will come after us. I want this effort to sing the praises of all ranchers in this industry.”
2024 will see LOCASH traveling coast-to-coast in their “44 Strong” wrapped tour bus, as they perform their hit songs and share their appreciation for the ranchers dedicated to putting beef on America’s tables. Additional information on upcoming tour dates is expected soon.
