DELRAY BEACH — Country music star Brett Young surprised fans June 26 at Tin Roof, a popular Delray Beach bar on East Atlantic Avenue.
Young's appearance was a "Secret Session" pop-up hosted by South Florida country radio station New Country 103.1. Around 250 people showed up to watch Young's hourlong show.
"It was great," said Jeff Krammer, general manager of Tin Roof. "It was an iconic moment to have such a celebrity or high-status individual come and do a free show for the public. It was an honor to host someone of that stature."
New Country 103.1 Secret Sessions are hosted every six weeks or so, Krammer said. The radio station has listeners call in to win tickets, and the venue for the show is announced later.
