How excited are you to play it live?

Youve opened for Kenny Chesney and Lady Antebellum, but this is your first summer headlining.
How are you approaching that shift?
Your openers this summer are Maren Morris and Chris Janson.
Those are two artists who can sell quite a few tickets all on their own.
They could be doing their own thing but theyve chosen to go out with us.
Im appreciative of that.
In country, we like to do things as a family.
Theres not near the sense of competition that Ive sensed between artists in other genres of music.
Thats one of the values in country music that keeps me so rooted in it.
That helps create that family atmosphere for the fans as much as it does for the artists.
Youre working on your second album.
Are you planning on playing more new music along this run?
Well,the touritself is going to coincide with the process of writing those songs.
