AGE IS JUST A NUMBER — AND BROOKS & DUNN JUST PROVED IT

At 72 and 70, Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks reminded the music world of a truth it too often forgets: real legends don’t slow down — they rise with time.

Taking the stage at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash, Brooks & Dunn didn’t arrive to relive the past or trade on nostalgia. They came with fire in their veins and purpose in every note. From the first chord, the energy shifted. The years disappeared. What remained was pure country power.

Ronnie’s voice still cut through the night with raw authority. Kix’s presence commanded the crowd like a born showman. Together, they turned the stage into a celebration of endurance, brotherhood, and the kind of artistry that only grows stronger with age.

By the final note, the crowd wasn’t just cheering — they were on their feet, witnessing proof that greatness doesn’t fade. It evolves.

Because age isn’t a limit.
It’s a badge of honor.
