Valory Music Co.’s Tyler Rich is finding new ways to connect with fans through a trio of themed streaming events. With tour plans on hold, Rich is partaking in an Instagram live series called The Distance, which includes Leave Her Wild Sunday Brunch with his wife Sabina Gadecki at 1pm PT, Sing Behind The Scene with other songwriters on Tuesdays at 6:30pm PT and Feels Like Home concerts on Fridays at 7pm PT.

Rich kicked off Tuesday’s Sing Behind the Scenes with Parachute’s Will Anderson and Boys Like Girls’ Paul Digiovanni before surprise guest Devin Dawson joined for an acoustic rendition of Rich’s “The Difference.” In a surprise announcement, Rich also revealed that the single had just been certified gold by the RIAA in the U.S. and Canada. The track was co-written by Dawson, Rhett Akins, Ben Burgess and Jacob Durrett.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to thank everyone that has bought, streamed, or shared this song than to cheers you all and have Devin join for a livestream jam. I’ve spent this quarantine working on and recording new material non-stop, I can’t wait for you to hear what’s next!” Shared Rich.

Additionally, Rich and his husky, Abby, will join CMT’s Cody Alan today at 12pm CT for a virtual pet play date on Instagram live called Teddy Talk. Earlier this year, Rich began Rich Rescues to raise awareness of pet adoption and to support shelters across the country.
