Luke Bryan Headlining 10th Annual CMT On Tour

Luke_Bryan_2011.jpg
The list of past CMT on Tour headlining artists reads like a who’s who of country music: Keith Urban, Sugarland, Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert and Trace Adkins are just a few of the big names who have toured with the series since its beginning 10 years ago. Now Luke Bryan can add his name to that list, and he is sure to be just as successful as his predecessors. The timing for Luke couldn’t be better, since his latest album Tailgates and Tanlines will hit stores on August 9 and the tour will kick off just five weeks later, starting in West Virginia on September 15 and wrapping up 22 shows later in Louisisana on November 19.
 
Luke’s new album is sure to be a hit after the incredible success of his previous album Doin’ My Thing which released three hit singles “Do I,” “Rain Is A Good Thing” and “Someone Else Calling You Baby.” The first single from his new album, “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” is currently a Top 10 song and approaching 1 million downloads. Luke is currently on the road with Tim McGraw’s Emotional Traffic tour. 
 
Joining Luke for CMT on Tour will be Lee Brice, Josh Thompson and CMT’s Next Superstar winner Matt Mason. Lee Brice hit the country music scene last year with his debut album Love Like Crazy. The title track was Billboard’s No. 1 country song of the year and earned Lee a nomination for the 2011 CMT Music Awards’ USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year award. Josh Thompson’s first album Way Out Here debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart and received praise from both fans and music critics. He wrote or co-wrote all ten songs on his debut album, and is currently working on his second, due out next year.
