Hello And Welcome To Country Rebel
Country Rebel is an outspoken voice and champion of country music and country lifestyle for fans and ordinary folks all over the world. The company was built from the ground up by brothers Kevin and Darin Blue and we are dedicated to sharing the best stories, music, news and values that people care about. We are proud to take a stand for the music and lifestyle that represents America at its roots.
Our Story
Country Rebel originated in 2014 as a lifestyle brand, and has since expanded to include clothing, news, music sessions and a record label.
Several years after founding the company- Kevin and Darin Blue (also known as the Blue Brothers) decided to make the move to Nashville, TN, acquiring a 31 acre farm on the outskirts called the “Rebel Ranch” where the company is now headquartered.
Throughout the years, Country Rebel has been privileged to work with country music greats such as Randy Travis, Travis Tritt, Lee Brice, Luke Combs, Jerrod Niemann, Aaron Lewis, and many others.
Our Acoustic Sessions
One of the things we are most proud of is of our unique and intimate acoustic sessions on YouTube. Some of our favorite we’ve produced include:
“His Name Is Jesus” by Cody Johnson, “God Bless The U.S.A.” by Lee Greenwood, and “Lost and Lonely” by Aaron Lewis among many more.
We take country music’s legacy seriously: we’ve recorded and produced sessions with the children and grandchildren of legends like Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, and Waylon Jennings, carrying their songs to a new generation of fans.
