On February 11th, 2010, Tim McGraw and his band, the Dancehall
Doctors, will kick off an extensive North American tour in support of
his new album, Southern Voice, which was released this week by Curb
Records. The "Southern Voice" tour, promoted nationally by Live
Nation, will commence at Qwest Center in Omaha, NE on February 11th
and conclude at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Virginia Beach, VA on
August 15th. For information regarding the online ticket request
period and general public on-sale dates, check timmcgraw.com. Members
of McGrawFan, the official tour club will get early access to pre-sale
tickets for the entire tour: www.mcgrawfan.com.
"I'm real excited to have this opportunity to hit the road next year
with the 'Southern Voice' tour and look forward to playing new songs
and old favorites for all my fans," says McGraw, who will perform
Friday morning on "TODAY" as part of the Toyota Concert Series on
Rockefeller Plaza. On October 27th he'll appear on "The Jay Leno
Show," where McGraw will be joined by Gregg Allman for a very special
rendition of "Southern Voice." McGraw will close out the week with an
October 29th performance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." On November
13th, CMT will premiere "INVITATION ONLY: TIM MCGRAW," a one-hour
special featuring McGraw performing before a small studio audience and
taking questions from fans.
Lady Antebellum will be a special guest on the entire tour. The Lost
Trailers will open shows from February 11th - April 10th while Love
And Theft will open from April 11th - August 15th. Lady Antebellum
took country music by storm with the release of their now PLATINUM
certified debut on Capitol Records Nashville in 2008, which spawned
the hit singles "Love Don't Live Here" and "Lookin' For A Good Time"
as well as the GOLD certified #1 smash "I Run To You." With "Best New
Artist" trophies from both the Country Music Association and the
Academy of Country Music in 2008, two GRAMMY® nominations for the 51st
Annual GRAMMY Awards and countless other award nominations, it comes
as no surprise they were the only country act recognized as one of
iTunes' Best New Artists of 2008. Lady Antebellum's current single
"Need You Now" is the fastest rising single of their career quickly
setting the pace for their upcoming sophomore release NEED YOU NOW due
in stores Jan. 26, 2010. BNA Records' The Lost Trailers were named
"Most Played New Group" in 2008 (Mediabase). Their album's title
track, "Holler Back," stayed in the Top 10 for over a month last
summer and their latest single, "Country Folks Living Loud," is
climbing the charts. Love And Theft's debut album, World Wide Open,
recently opened inside the Top 10 on the country albums chart and the
band's Top 10 and climbing hit single "Runaway" claims the biggest
first week digital single sales for any debut country act this year.
Outback Steakhouse will present the "Southern Voice" tour and the
Fritos brand from Frito-Lay is associate tour sponsor. Sharing
McGraw's commitment to helping others, Outback Steakhouse, the
innovative restaurant chain, and Fritos, one of America's most loved
brands, see the partnership as yet another opportunity to strengthen
the communities they are part of. The two sponsors will join forces
with Tim to raise funds for The Neighbor's Keeper Fund of the
Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a charitable fund created by
Tim and his wife, Faith Hill.
"This partnership is truly a natural fit as Outback and Tim both share
the commitment and passion of giving back to our communities," says
Jeff Smith, president of Outback Steakhouse, which will also raise
funds along the tour route for Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance
(FARA) and other local charities.
With Southern Voice, McGraw once again pushes the bounds of his
artistry with characteristic honesty, grit and soul, qualities that
have throughout history exemplified the Southern voice. Recorded in
Nashville with his longtime producer, Byron Gallimore (Faith Hill,
Sugarland), Southern Voice is McGraw's first studio album in two and a
half years, following Let It Go, which debuted at No. 1 on The
Billboard 200 in April of 2007. McGraw recently gave the title track,
which is his current single, its national television debut on "NFL
OPENING KICKOFF 2009 PRESENTED BY EA SPORTS," which was simulcast on
NBC and NFL Network.
McGraw has sold over 40 million units and dominated the charts with 30
#1 singles. He's won three GRAMMYs, 14 Academy of Country Music
Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, 10 American Music Awards,
three People's Choice Awards and numerous other awards. McGraw is
featured on the cover of the November issue of Men's Journal, which is
on newsstands now.
His multi-faceted career also encompasses film. McGraw launched an
impressive acting career with 2004's "Friday Night Lights," which he
followed with "Flicka" (2006), "The Kingdom" (2007) and "Four
Christmases" (2008). He co-stars with Sandra Bullock in the upcoming
film "The Blind Side," scheduled for release on November 20th.
