Country music singer Curtis Braly has returned from a week-long adventure aboard the Carnival Valor where he welcomed many of his closest fans for a 6-day/5-night voyage on the high-seas. The cruise, which departed from Galveston, Texas on April 7 made two stops in Mexico and included a private concert by Braly.  

“This year’s Cruise with Curtis was absolutely incredible and a highlight of my career,” stated Braly. “I’m so thankful to the fans who decided to embark on this journey with me and I look forward to an even bigger adventure next year.” 

During the cruise, Braly treated guests to a private hour-long concert held in one of the Carnival Valor’s most beautiful venues. Throughout the show, Braly interacted with fans and shared personal stories of some of his greatest songs including “Song You Can Drink a Beer To,” “Pour Me A Memory,” and his latest single “Hate Me.” While visiting the Xcambo Mayan sites of Progresso, the Cruise with Curtis group explored the Emerald Coast 5-in-1 tour with Sergio's Tours. At the request of their witty tour guide, Braly treated guests with an impromptu performance above the serene and peaceful Mayan landscape. 

"Cruise with Curtis was the best vacation my husband and I have been on. Curtis was such a great host and his performance was outstanding. I can not wait till next year to go again!"- Allison Moss 

“Just returned from the first Cruise With Curtis and I must say I truly enjoyed interacting with him.  He is a very personable and genuine person and is dedicated to his fans. He went above and beyond to ensure all his guests were taken care of and that they had a great time!  Count me in for the second Cruise With Curtis...I can’t wait!” - Jeff Verette

About Curtis Braly 

Braly recently recorded his third album, produced by Kent Wells, titled You Matter. It provides a deep look into Braly’s childhood, where the Humble, Texas native experienced bullying throughout high school. “That was a difficult time in my life—mere words can leave lifetime scars,” mentions Braly. “But, it was an experience that made me stronger and I wouldn’t change it for anything.  It taught me how important it was to be kind.” The 10-song album features tracks such as “Love You Down,” “Hate Me,” and “Simple’s Not Easy” that touch on love, loneliness, fear, break-ups and of course, beer.  A “labor of love,” the compilation is a reflection of personal and artistic evolution and was created with purposeful intent to inspire.

Review of: 'You Matter' by Curtis Braly 
Reviewed by: Erin Huestis, The Celebrity Cafe

Curtis Braly released "You Matter" on Sept. 9.
With production by Kent Wells, this contemporary country album is entertaining and heartfelt.
 

Curtis Braly is a Texan whose investment in singing began at a young age.  After taking a somewhat roundabout path back into the spotlight, Braly made two albums. Entitled "You Matter", Kent Wells now produced the artist’s third record. Reflecting Braly’s desire to touch a wide array of people, this album draws on his own life experiences. Ranging from fun and lighthearted to heavy and emotional, You Matter covers a broad spectrum of humanity. 

You Matter opens with a track called “Song You Can Drink A Beer To.” Not surprisingly, the piece is everything the title suggests. An unpretentious tune, it applies to a large scope of moods. Punctuated by wailing guitars, this country song has enough rock elements to keep a wide audience smiling. 

Curtis Braly goes on to deliver entertaining pop-twinged tracks such as “Don’t You Wanna,” “Simples Not Easy” and “Storm Chaser.” Amidst these are a few enjoyable emotional peaks and valleys. “Secondhand High” is among these – a definitive highlight on You Matter. An old western sounding intro with deeper tonality acts as the backdrop to smooth vocals, which spark listener attention. With a classically rock progression, Braly keeps the momentum building. Additionally, appealingly rough edges on “Secondhand High” let audiences know that this artist’s work is not always shiny.

Realism in song
 

“Love You Down” was the first single released off You Matter. Enticing musicality permeates this strong love song. Though it depicts a complicated situation, Braly does not tend too far toward either emo or overly forceful – causing the song to feel honest. Immediately following, “Hate Me” draws attention to the murky waters of breakups. It rings true in complexity and simultaneous straightforwardness. “Hate Me” is likely to garner trust from audiences in its realism. 

You Matter continues with “Pour Me a Memory.” Another track grounded in unabashed humanity, it is both sorrowful and relatable. A percussion heavy and slower tune, “Pour Me a Memory” does not seem overworked or unduly polished. In the fine country tradition of singing about the ‘ordinary’ in a way that makes it engaging – encouraging listeners to smell the roses and sharing sympathy over bad days – this album closes with the casual “Best Seat in the House.” 

Curtis Braly creates enjoyable contemporary country music in You Matter.  A heartfelt honesty and openness seems to drive his music. Listeners will be entertained and touched by this album.
