NASHVILLE, Tenn. (July 28, 2015) – GRAMMY® award-winning Southern blues-rockers, The Kentucky Headhunters, have announced 25 new tour dates to wrap up the summer and bring their rowdy, high-energy shows to fans nationwide well into fall. Long considered “Southern Rock Royalty” and credited for creating a hybrid of honky-tonk, blues, and southern rock that appeals to listeners of both rock and country music, The Kentucky Headhunters have tallied hits such as, “Dumas Walker,” “Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine,” and “Oh, Lonesome Me.”

The long-haired boys from Edmonton, Kentucky, (Richard Young, Fred Young, Greg Martin and Doug Phelps), hit the road August through December on the tails of their latest album release, Meet Me in Bluesland, which hit stores on June 2 and is a collaborative effort of previously unreleased, original material featuring late, great pianist Johnnie Johnson — a Rock N Roll Hall of Famer and keyboardist for Chuck Berry. Meet Me In Bluesland showcases The Kentucky Headhunters’ familiar blues influence on a whole new level, and the album has created a momentum, fueled by its No. 1 Billboard Blues Album debut and top placement on the Billboard Americana Chart, that continues to carry the group into the upcoming dates.

Touting longevity many other acts can only dream of, The Kentucky Headhunters will take their 47 years of experience on the road affording fans the chance to catch what Billboard calls, “The Great American Rock ‘N’ Roll Band,” at the following upcoming stops:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (February 2, 2015) – It’s shaping up to be a busy year for Country legend TG Sheppard as his winter/spring concert tour is getting underway.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 28, 2014) – With a legacy that stretches across 6 decades, encompasses more than 40 million albums sold, and includes numerous iconic hit singles such as “Elvira,” “American Made,” and “Y’all Come Back Saloon,” it’s no wonder that The Oak Ridge Boys are a favorite of President George H.W. Bush. 2014 marks the 41st anniversary of the Oak Ridge Boys—who better to celebrate with than the 41st President of the United States?

Earlier this year Duane, Joe, William Lee, and Richard – known as The Oak Ridge Boys – spent some time with former President “41” Bush and Barbara Bush before their show in Galveston, Texas. The ‘Boys knew ahead of time that the former President would be in attendance, so they wore brightly-colored socks in his honor. After the show, President Bush came backstage where The Oaks revealed their fashionable stockings to him. The 41st President, and vibrant sock-wearing advocate, was thrilled to see the group following the trend he started. Photos of the picture-perfect moment will appear in the April issue of People Country available in stores today.

Reminiscing about the first time they performed for then-VP Bush on the lawns of the White House in 1983, the Oaks’ Joe Bonsall said, “I remember he specifically asked for “Freckles” off the Saloon album, and that just blew us away. After he became president we sang for him many, many times, and we still sing for him today. In fact when he and Barbara came to see us just a few weeks ago in Galveston, Texas, we had “An American Family” ready for him. That song has always been a favorite of his.”

The Oak Ridge Boys are not only celebrating 41 years together, but are also preparing to release their first-ever LIVE album. Cleopatra Records will release Boys Night Out on April 15th, in three formats – CD, vinyl, and digital download – finally giving ORB fans the experience of the group’s well-polished live performance for them to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

To be sure, Oak Ridge Boys fans have been clamoring for a live album of hits for several years now, but as the band explained, “For some reason or another, the time never seemed right.” Then, in early 2013, lead vocalist and producer Duane Allen saw the stars align as the band was able to get its hands on some top quality remote recording equipment, and promptly began capturing performances of their current show dubbed “Boys Night Out.” Night after night, The Oak Ridge Boys wowed audiences across the nation with a setlist that packed all of the group’s hit singles and fan favorites into one magnificent celebration. Years of preparation have made such well-loved songs as “You’re The One,” “Thank God For Kids,” and the brilliant “Bobbie Sue” sound even more exhilarating than when they were originally recorded! It might not be quite the same as being there, but it’s thrillingly close!
