ALABAMA Ready to Get Going for Their 50th Anniversary Tour

Are you ready for some “Mountain Music”?

ALABAMA is hitting the road again for their long-awaited 50th Anniversary tour — much of which was delayed due to Covid-19.

The schedule, starting in Nashville this week, consists of nearly 30 arena and amphitheater live concerts that will see ALABAMA playing dates from now until early 2022.

The guys are also pulling out all the stops with special guests on the tour – including Martina McBride, The Marshall Tucker Band, Travis Tritt, Sara Evans, America, Grits & Glamour (Lorrie Morgan & Pam Tillis), Tracy Lawrence, The Beach Boys, The Frontmen of Country (Richie McDonald formerly of Lonestar, Tim Rushlow formerly of Little Texas & Larry Stewart of Restless Heart) and Jake Hoot will join ALABAMA on select dates.

ALABAMA lead singer Randy Owen shares, “We are very thankful that we can play our music for our loyal fans of the past 50 years and introduce our songs to a new 3rd and 4th generation of new fans.”

He adds, “We have rehearsed an all-new show that we are having fun performing, but you never know, we might even take requests from time to time. There’s nothing like the roar of the crowd, and we can’t wait to get back on the road.”

Talking about the line-up of tour guests, ALABAMA bass player and vocalist Teddy Gentry says “We are blessed to have the most amazing group of musicians and vocalists that we have ever had on the road. In addition, we wanted to bring along some special friends to join us on tour each night. From The Marshall Tucker Band to Travis Tritt and Martina McBride to The Beach Boys, what a party we are going to have. I can’t tell you how ready we are to see and play for you.”

Miranda Lambert fans in Atlanta got more than they bargained for at her concert on Saturday night (Jan. 20), when the singer and her band burst into a high-energy cover of the Joe Walsh classic “Rocky Mountain Way.” Lambert struts the stage and does the heavy song justice with a high-octane vocal performance, but the…
