Slowly but surely, dates for Blake Shelton‘s much-anticipated 2012 Well Lit and Amplified Tour are being announced, and fans will be happy to know that the trek will begin as early as January. Though the ‘Honey Bee’ hitmaker will be headlining his run, he won’t be going out alone — Shelton is packing up his favorite ‘The Voice’ runner-up Dia Frampton and country crooner Justin Moore for the ride.

George Strait‘s 2012 tour will kick off on January 27 in Lafayette, La. and include at least 11 shows across the southern half of the country. The ‘Here For a Good Time’ hitmaker previously announced that Martina McBride would open all shows on the tour.

With more than 23 million albums sold in the US, four Grammy nominations and three Top 40 hits, Kid Rock has been more fortunate than most. But even after more than a decade as one of the most successful recording artists in the world, he hasn’t forgotten the importance of reaching out to those in need. In fact, that’s just what he’s doing with his fall tour, which has him visiting a series of sma

Having fun both offstage and with his music still matters to Kid Rock. But as he gets older, Rock gives much more thought to when it’s best to act like his younger self. Thanks in part to his scaled-back partying, Rock says he’s been more consistent singing and playing on tour — and that should be a plus for fans who will be attending his fall club dates.

Former Trick Pony member Heidi Newfield has been hard at work on the follow-up to her 2008 debut album, ‘What Am I Waiting For,’ for more than a year, but she isn’t letting the delay get her down. In fact, she’s grabbing her band and hitting the road for a run of live dates — and taking some of her girlfriends with her. Sponsored by Pendleton Whisky and dubbed the She’s Country Tour, Newfield’s fa

When you’ve been doing something as long as Kenny Rogers has been making music, the milestones are bound to pile up — and sure enough, this holiday season will mark an auspicious anniversary for the country legend. When Rogers embarks on his annual Christmas and Hits tour this November 25, it’ll mark his 30th straight year of heading out on the road to bring holiday cheer to fans. Billy Dean will

The last time they toured together, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw shattered records, so when they announced they’d be teaming up again for a string of Australian dates next year, American promoters — and plenty of American fans — were hoping it’d be the prelude for a stateside sequel. Better start saving up for those plane tickets now, though, because McGraw and Hill say their Australian shows will be

In today’s crowded musical landscape, it’s more important than ever for an artist plugging a new release to find new and interesting ways to attract the attention of potential listeners — even if that artist is a multi-platinum fixture on the radio dial. Martina McBride is one artist who seems to have learned this lesson well — instead of booking just another tour as part of the promotion for her

Have the Salahis, (better known as the White House party crashers), stopped believin’ in their marriage? On Tuesday, Tareq Salahi reported that wife and former ‘Real Housewives of D.C.’ star Michaele had gone missing. Tareq said he received a phone call late that night from his wife where she was acting strangely. This led him to believe that she had been kidnapped.

After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, one of the largest American flags damaged during the attacks continued to fly above the resulting wreckage during the clean-up efforts. Seven years later, that flag, dubbed the National 9/11 Flag, was sewn back together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, and has also been stitched by World War II veterans, survivors of the Ft

The last time Tim McGraw and Faith Hill went on tour together, it went pretty well — the string of dates they shared in 2006 and 2007 broke the record for the top-grossing country tour of all time. Next year, they’ll take their act on the road again, and although this looks like a much shorter run — only six dates have been announced — they’ll still be covering a lot of distance. In fact, they’re

Mary Chapin Carpenter is still touring behind her most recent studio album, 2010′s ‘The Age of Miracles,’ but she’s already thinking about where her songwriting muse might lead her next.
