(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson will bring decades of hits to fans across America in 2020!

The country music icon will launch his tour right after the first of the year (January 10), headlining arenas and festivals through October (detailed listing below, with more dates to be added). The three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year will be thrilling audiences far-and-wide as they relive their favorite songs night-after-night in city-after-city.

Tickets and information for all Alan Jackson 2020 Tour dates are available at alanjackson.com/tour, where you can find information about Alan, his tour schedule, music and more. Jackson is again teaming up with CID Entertainment to offer fans VIP experiences at nearly all of his 2020 shows.

Alan Jackson’s concerts find the country icon performing hits that have gained him legions of longtime fans, songs that continue to draw new crowds as new generations discover his music. Jackson’s repertoire stands the test of time; it has impacted all sorts of artists who cite Jackson as an influence. It’s these same songs – many written by Alan – that have earned him his place alongside country music’s greatest names and cemented his place in its history with membership in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Fans will hear the songs they love from the man who wrote them and made them famous – enduring hits such as his debut single “Here in The Real World”…signature songs “Chattahoochee,” “Drive” and “Gone Country”…party anthems “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” and “Good Time”…and many, many more.

Jackson’s 2020 schedule – kicking off in January – includes a Valentine’s Day visit to his home state of Georgia…a spring return to Stagecoach, which he last played in its inaugural year (2007)…a summer night headlining the 40th annual Country Concert festival in Fort Loramie, Ohio…and a stop in Music City, where his last full-scale concert was held to celebrate the kickoff of the Nashville Predators’ 2017 home stand in the Stanley Cup Finals.

In addition to other special guests, many of the tour stops will showcase some of Jackson’s favorite rising stars who play at AJ’s Good Time Bar, his self-owned honky-tonk on downtown Nashville’s famed “Lower Broadway.” Jackson has a long history of giving new talent their first chances to perform in front of arena-size crowds – artists who’ve been on one of their “first big tours” with Alan include Brad Paisley, LeAnn Rimes, Sara Evans, Chris Young and, more recently, Jon Pardi and Lauren Alaina.

Alan Jackson’s extensive touring history and music catalog have gained him worldwide acclaim, from critics and fans alike. In 2020, he’ll continue his tradition of “keepin’ it country” as he brings 30 years of hits to a city near you!

Nashville – November 1, 2019 – Luke Bryan played his final Farm Tour 2019 concert Wednesday night in Missouri where the Kansas City Star claimed Luke is a “kinetic performer” whose “enthusiasm was contagious.” In total all six shows took place after two were rescheduled and/or moved indoors due to inclement weather. Even as the Farm Tour 2019 concerts were in the middle of his “Sunset Repeat Tour,” time spent in the recording studio, releasing a new single, playing the Grand Ole Opry, performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and a full taping schedule for American Idol this month, Luke was committed to ensuring that all the Farm Tour concerts happened for his fans.  

“These Farm Tour shows can be a challenge at times when the weather doesn’t cooperate, but it never surprises me how our fans continue to support them like they do,” said Luke. “The truth is these shows mean so much to me to get to honor the American farmer and then to donate meals on top of that to those in need makes them even more rewarding. We had to find a way to make these happen no matter what!”

Farm Tour sponsor Bayer continued their #HeresToTheFarmer campaign which has donated four million meals across the U.S. in the last few years.

Visit Bayer.us/en/HeresToTheFarmer to learn more.  The eleventh annual FARM TOUR featured Cole Swindell, Mitchell Tenpenny, LoCash, the Peach Pickers (Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, Dallas Davidson) and DJ Rock during the run. More than 100,000 fans came out again this year and since its 2009 inception Luke continues to give back to farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending local colleges or universities near the tour stops. To date, 76 scholarships have been granted.   The tour was sponsored by Bayer, Sweet Leaf Tea, TRACKER OFF ROAD, Citi and Monster Energy. Citi was the official presale credit card and CID Entertainment offered Harvest Time VIP Experiences.  

About Luke Bryan Luke Bryan is a two–time Academy of Country Music and a two–time Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year, a five-time host of the ACM Awards, a two–year celebrity judge on ABC’s “American Idol,” a NSAI Artist/Songwriter of the Year, and six-time CMT Artist of the Year. Bryan has more certified digital singles than any other country artist, with 54 million tracks and 12.5 million albums with seven Billion music streams and has 23 #1 singles, 12 of which he co-wrote.   Earlier this month, the Academy of Country Music honored him with the Album of the Decade award for his four-time Platinum selling album Crash My Party.  On Oct. 25 Luke wrapped his “Sunset Repeat Tour” in Detroit at Ford Field marking his 36th career headline stadium shows and playing for one million fans in 2019.

Nashville, TN – October 30, 2019 – Radio and TV personality Bobby Bones visited St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital yesterday (10/29), returning to the hospital and reuniting with several familiar patients for a festive Halloween week trip. As “empathy is the real fuel to Bones’s work” (American Profile), he was joined by The Bobby Bones Show producer and The Raging Idiots bandmate Eddie Garcia, co-host Amy Brown, as well as special guest Capitol Records Nashville’s Caylee Hammack. Decked out in Halloween costumes, the two acts traded off performing for St. Jude patients and their families including songs like The Raging Idiots’ “When I Grow Up,” from their No.1 children’s album The Raging Kidiots: Kiddy Up!, as well as covers of 2019 viral hits “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X and “Baby Shark.”  

With over $11 Million already raised for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on behalf of Bones and the radio show, iHeartRadio’s Bobby Bones Show is set to host its annual Radiothon December 5-6, continuing its long-standing support for the hospital. More information and artist announcements will be made in the coming weeks. 

Radio and TV personality Bobby Bones is host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Bobby Bones Show, which broadcasts to over 150 stations and is the #1 Country morning show with millions of weekly listeners. The show recently garnered its second Country Music Association Award for National Broadcast Personality of the Year and third ACM Award for National On-Air Personality of the Year, and earned Bones the title of youngest ever inductee into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame. The “media multitasker” (Billboard) also launched his own podcast, BobbyCast, which features candid long-form interviews with top artists and industry figures and has been downloaded nearly 13 million times. The podcast’s overwhelming success has paved the way for Bones to launch the Nashville Podcast Network, an eclectic collection of podcasts from a variety of Nashville-savvy hosts, giving listeners an inside look at the lifestyle and pop culture in Nashville. Bones won Season 27 of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and is the official in-house mentor on ABC’s American Idol. Additionally, Bones’ chart-topping musical comedy band Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots is currently on a tour called It’s Just The Two Of Us…(Sorry) following their most recent EP, LIVE IN BOSTON. Bones is also a two-time New York Times #1 bestselling author, touring stand-up comedian, and philanthropist – a true “jack of all trades” (ESPN). Visit https://bobbybones.iheart.com for more information.

Pandora Live Returns To Nashville Old Dominion, Carly Pearce And Ryan Griffin To Perform Exclusive Concert On November 25 At Marathon Music Works

By on October 30, 2019 in In The Press, Press Releases

NEW YORK, NY – October 30, 2019 – Pandora and SiriusXM announced today that two-time ACM Award Group of the Year winners, Old Dominion will perform in Nashville as part of the “Pandora Live” concert series.  CMA Awards New Artist of the Year nominee Carly Pearce and Ryan Griffin are confirmed to open the show that will take place at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works on November 25.  Pandora listeners who are 21 and over can RSVP for the free event HERE.

The special “Pandora Live” performance will be co-hosted by Pandora’s Head of Country Music, Beville Dunkerley and SiriusXM host Storme Warren. Fans unable to attend the show can still share in the excitement during SiriusXM’s live broadcast of Old Dominion’s set on The Highway (ch. 56).

Acclaimed CMA Group of the Year, Old Dominion has emerged as one of the hottest breaking bands out of Nashville, fusing clever lyrics and an infectious sound. Their lyrical wit and hook heavy songwriting certainly prove to be a thriving method.  Since their start in 2014 when they were named a SiriusXM Highway Find, they’ve notched seven #1 singles at country radio and earn close to 5 million spins a week on Pandora.  Their current single “One Man Band” has landed on the Pandora Top Spins Chart for thirteen consecutive weeks. The band is again nominated for Vocal Group of the Year at the upcoming 2019 CMA Awards and their self-titled third album was just released on October 25.

Spearheading a trio of chart-toppers on SiriusXM (where she was named a Highway Find in 2016), “Every Little Thing” designated Carly as the highest charting solo female debut since July 2015 and incorporated her into an elite group of only three women to accomplish this feat in the last decade.  The track landed on the Pandora Top Spin Chart for 16 consecutive weeks and won the CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year. Carly recently released a duet with Lee Brice, “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” which she penned with Luke Combs, Jonathan Singleton and Randy Montana. The track offers another preview from her forthcoming sophomore album due in 2020.

A SiriusXM’s Highway Find and one of Rolling Stone’s 10 New Country Artists You Need to Know, Ryan Griffin is poised for his breakout Country moment.  After making his mark as a co-writer on Kelsea Ballerini’s platinum single “Dibs,” Ryan recently released his debut “Right Here Right Now” to critical praise.  The “Pandora Live” stage will feel like home as Ryan recently opened for Old Dominion on tour and is currently on the road with Carly Pearce.

“The trio of Old Dominion, Carly Pearce and Ryan Griffin will be a pure shot of adrenaline to this intimate stage, not to mention hit after hit we all know by heart,” says Beville Dunkerley, Pandora’s Head of Country Music. “This exclusive Pandora Live event will mark Old Dominion’s first Nashville show since the release of their excellent eponymous album, with Carly and Ryan hot on the heels of two of this year’s most exciting new singles, as well.”

Pandora Live attendees will be treated to unique onsite experiences and giveaways from sponsors including Direct Auto Insurance, Pillsbury™, Sierra™, The Convenience Stores of Speedway, Tony Chachere’s® Famous Creole Cuisine, U.S. Bank and Wendy’s®.
