Thomas Rhett is set to kick off the summer on May 17 in Spokane, WA. Touted as a “Born Entertainer” (Lincoln Journal Star), fans can’t help but “get swept up in the fun” (Lexington Herald Leader) of Thomas Rhett’s live show. 

“A skilled musician and showman” (Providence Journal), Rhett's live show continues to draw praise as he’s “fearlessly come into his own” (Tennessean). “Adept at engaging a crowd” (Houston Chronicle), “there's a palpable connection between the country music superstar and his fans” (MLIVE). The “Very Hot Summer Tour” will make notable stops across the US and wraps in his hometown of Nashville, TN.

Rhett’s Platinum-certified third album Life Changes (The Valory Music Co.) is the biggest, boldest-sounding record of his career, filled with a diverse batch of songs as he stretches his sound to new limits. He topped Billboard’s year-end Country Airplay chart and is Mediabase’s Top Performing Artist and Top Male of 2018 as the only artist to have four songs in the top 100 songs of the year – “Unforgettable” (Platinum), “Marry Me” (2X Platinum), “Life Changes” (Gold) and “Sixteen.” Since its release, Life Changes has earned the top position on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, a Grammy® nomination for Best Country Album, as well as CMA and ACM Awards nominations. He was named iHeartRadio’s Country Artist of the Year for the second year in a row and was recently honored with his second CMA Triple Play award for penning three #1 songs within a 12-month period (“Unforgettable, “Marry Me” and “Life Changes”). 

Since releasing his Platinum-certified debut single, “Cowboys and Angels,” Dustin Lynch has “steadily built one of the most consistent recording careers in modern country music” (Billboard) with five consecutive #1s, three Top 5 albums, Platinum-level certifications and tours with the genre’s biggest names (Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Brad Paisley). Racking up over 238 million views on YouTube/VEVO, scoring one billion streams and selling 4.5 million digital tracks, the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry is currently climbing the Country charts with his single “Good Girl.”

Platinum singer/songwriter Russell Dickerson celebrates a landmark year with two consecutive #1 singles as Billboard’s #1 Emerging Artist, a Spotify RISE artist and CMT’s 18 for 2018. The 2018 CMT and ACM nominee was named People Magazine’s “One to Watch,” and spends much time on the road and with his fans who made his debut single “Yours” the biggest love song of the year. His second single, “Blue Tacoma,” went #1 with over 60 million worldwide streams, and still popular on country radio.

Rhett Akins’ first album, A Thousand Memories, produced four chart singles with its 1995 release including his co-written first #1, “That Ain’t My Truck.” Moving on to release Somebody New the following year and producing another #1 hit, “Don’t Get Me Started.” Akins as a songwriter has had 29 #1 singles (and counting). Some of which include #1 hits by artists which include Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Dustin Lynch, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett and Blake Shelton. Thomas Rhett's “Star Of The Show,” co-written with Akins and Thomas Rhett pinned their first #1 together and in 2017, Akins celebrated his 29^th #1 as a songwriter with Thomas Rhett's “Life Changes.” He was named the #4 Billboard Country Songwriter, awarded the CMA Triple Play seven times and awarded Songwriter of the Year by the Academy of Country Music in 2018.
