LoCash (sometimes stylized as LOCASH), formerly known as LoCash Cowboys, is an American country pop duo composed of Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, natives of Baltimore, Maryland and Kokomo, Indiana, respectively. They have released one album each for Average Joes Entertainment and Reviver Records, and have charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs or Country Airplay chart. Their highest-charting single is "I Know Somebody", which topped the Billboard US Country Airplay and reached number four in the Billboard US Country chart in 2016. In addition to their own material, the members of LoCash co-wrote Keith Urban's number-one single "You Gonna Fly" and Tim McGraw's "Truck Yeah".

History

They were initially signed to R&J Records (formerly Stroudavarious Records), for which they released three singles. The first, "Here Comes Summer",[1] debuted at #60 on Hot Country Songs for the week ending May 8, 2010.[2] It was made into a music video which aired on CMT.[1] LoCash Cowboys also performed at the Bama Jam Music fest in June 2010.[3] The duo's second single, "Keep in Mind", made top 40 in early 2011; and followup "You Got Me" reached #52.

In 2012, the LoCash Cowboys released the single "C.O.U.N.T.R.Y." through Average Joes Entertainment.[4] The song was originally intended to be the fourth single from their debut album, but was held back due to the closing of R&J Records. The video premiered July 31, 2012 on GAC. A dance remix of "C.O.U.N.T.R.Y." featuring Colt Ford was also released, and was included on the album Mud Digger, Vol. 3, also from Average Joes.

Brust and Lucas co-wrote Keith Urban's 2011 single "You Gonna Fly"[5] and Tim McGraw's 2012 single "Truck Yeah".

By 2015, the duo had dropped "Cowboys" and released a new single as LoCash: "I Love This Life", via Reviver Records.[6] It became their first Top 10 hit in late 2015. The EP album's second single, "I Know Somebody" released to country radio on February 22, 2016. It reached at number one on the Country Airplay in October 2016.

LoCash still uses its YouTube channel under the name "LoCashCowboysVEVO"
