Stepping into a Brett Kissel concert is like stepping into a friend’s living room for a night of good music and even better company. Known for his genuine personality, Kissel brings that same warmth to the stage, creating an atmosphere that’s equal parts heartwarming and electrifying. On his current tour, “The Side You’ve Never Seen,” Kissel has given fans exactly what the name promises—a closer, more personal look at the artist beyond the music.
The night kicked off with Kissel’s energetic opener, “A Few Good Stories,” setting the tone for a performance filled with both laughter and depth. From the first chords, Kissel had the audience hooked, and it only got better with some special guests joining him on stage. Local favorites Tim and Colin from Tim & The Glory Boys added a burst of fun, and Canadian country artist Tyler Joe Miller joined in as well, making for a collaboration that brought the house down. But that wasn’t the only surprise of the night—there were other unexpected guests who added to the excitement, making it a show you’ll have to experience yourself to fully appreciate.
One of the most heartwarming parts of the night came when Kissel took an intermission—not for a break, but to run to the tour bus and tuck his kids into bed. It was a beautiful moment of parenting on the road, as he made sure to create memories and stay connected with his family. This small act was a reminder of the kind of person he is, a father first, and it added an extra layer of warmth to the entire show. It’s about creating family memories and paving the way for the next generation.
Kissel’s acoustic set was another standout, stripping back the layers to reveal raw, unfiltered talent and a more vulnerable side that fans don’t always get to see. Throughout the show, he connected with the crowd through storytelling, sharing pieces of his life, family, and personal growth. These stories added depth to the performance, making it feel more like an intimate conversation than a concert.
By the end of the night, it was clear that Brett Kissel isn’t just an artist—he’s a friend to everyone in the room, a storyteller, and a performer who leaves his heart on the stage. He’s crafted a show that feels as intimate and interactive as a small gathering, even in an arena setting. In The Side You’ve Never Seen tour, Kissel invites fans to see beyond the lights and the music, sharing pieces of himself that go beyond the persona. It’s an unforgettable experience for anyone who values authentic connection and heartfelt country music.
So if you haven’t yet, go see him live—and be ready for a few good stories, a few surprises, and maybe even a few family moments along the way.
