TIM MCGRAW ANNOUNCES HEADLINE 2020 HERE ON EARTH TOUR
January 13, 2020 – Tim McGraw started the year off right with a headline show at the College Football Playoff Game, performing his new song “Way Down” from a forthcoming album later this year & his Nielsen BDS certified ‘Most Played Radio Song of the Decade’ hit “Something Like That,” and simultaneously announced the major HERE ON EARTH TOUR for 2020. McGraw will join forces with reigning CMA Vocalist of the Year Luke Combs for two can’t-miss summer stadium shows in Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Special guest Midland will join the entire tour, and Ingrid Andress will open the show on all dates.
COUNTRY FUZZ PRESENTS: THE CADILLAC THREE TOUR
It may be a ballsy move for The Cadillac Three to name their new album LEGACY, but if any country band has the shared history to lay claim to such a weighty title, it’s the long haired trio of Nashville natives.
Singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston, drummer Neil Mason and lap-steel player Kelby Ray have known one another since they were teens and have been sharing stages together for nearly 15 years. This summer, they’ll headline their hometown’s most famous venue, the Ryman Auditorium, just a few blocks from where Johnston and Ray sat in high-school math class daydreaming about one day playing the legendary hall. Johnston’s connection to the Ryman goes back even further: his father has been a drummer at the Grand Ole Opry since Jaren was a child. And now he has a son of his own, who, like his old man, will be well-versed in all the sounds that make up both Music City and The Cadillac Three, from country and blues to rock & roll.

It’s always an exciting moment when new music is released.
