Jerrod Niemann’s Bus Catches On Fire
It was a scary night last night for Jerrod Niemann, whose bus caught on fire after a benefit show in Tennessee. No one was hurt in the fire, but his father, uncle and and friends were all in town for the Heart Strings For Hope benefit for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
“We’re in there and Jon [Stone] comes over and says ‘Your bus is on fire.” Jerrod told WRCB-TV/CHATTANOOGA. “And I’m like ‘Dude, your gun’s shot. Our bus is not on fire.’ I thought it was the heater. So I went to the thermostat and it says ‘Auto Cool.’ So Lee [Brice] gets off the bus and is like “Dude, that’s black smoke. Your bus is on fire.”
Jerrod continues:
“So we get everyone off – my family and everyone and pretty soon we hear this ‘Boom!’ and we think it’s the fuel line, but we look and the whole front windshield was just blown out. Everyone was clear of the bus when the explosion happened and all instruments had been retrieved. This is where I have to say, to anyone that does not believe in GOD: If we were on the road driving we would’ve never smelt it The smell would’ve been going down the road. It would’ve lit up. I would’ve been in the back room. My own father – I don’t care if I die, but my own father and uncle, this one night on the bus, just, no. So we’re so, so thankful.”
Chattanooga firefighters are still trying to determine the cause of the fire. Jerrod continues on Miranda Lambert‘s “ON FIRE” tour next week. Looks like he took the tour name a little too literally.

VIDEO: Lee Brice’s Tour Bus Catches On Fire
A scary night for Lee Brice last night at his tour stop in Mesa, AZ. His tour bus caught on fire while he was sleeping. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the blaze but the bus did suffer quite some damage.
“I was actually sleeping. A few of us were sleeping,” Brice said. “They were like, bus is on fire, we’re not kidding. So we had to run off and within a couple of minutes it was in flames. The whole back of the lounge was apparently burned through.”
Even with the extensive damage to his home-away-from-home, Lee knows the only important thing is that everyone made it out safe.
“You know what, everybody is OK and that’s really the most important thing,” he said. “We’re blessed. We’ll be okay.”
The incident happened behind Toby Keith‘s Bar & Grill where he was scheduled to perform last night.

Lee Brice is Engaged!
Country Music Star Lee Brice celebrated the New Year by popping the big question to long-time girlfriend, Sara Reeveley, the mother of the couple’s three year-old son, Takoda. The couple was on vacation in Key West Florida when Brice proposed on January 2, 2012. A date has not yet been set.
Reeveley, 29, an Ohio native, and Brice, 32, originally from South Carolina, have known each other for thirteen years. The couple’s long-term romance began when they met on a beach in North Carolina. Reeveley was only 18 at the time.
Brice’s current single, “A Woman Like You,” is climbing the Billboard Country Song chart and is currently at #26.
In 2011, Brice was nominated for three ACM Awards for his Top 5 Billboard country song, “Love Like Crazy,” (two for “Single of the Year,” and one for “Song of the Year.”) “Love Like Crazy” was also named Billboard’s Most Played Song of 2010. In addition, in 2011 Brice also co-wrote the Eli Young Band’s breakthrough #1 hit, “Crazy Girl.”
Commenting about the bride to be, Brice said: “I finally get to marry that beautiful girl I met on Myrtle Beach years ago. I can’t wait to get Sara and Takoda to Nashville so we can all be together.”
