Chris Stapleton Extends “All-American Roadshow” Tour, Adds Openers
If you missed Chris Stapleton and his All-American Roadshow Tour in 2017 or 2018, you have another chance next year with reams of new tour dates just released. 44 total dates are now included on Stapleton’s tour itinerary, including a one-off show in Georgia opening for “King” George Strait, a stint in the U.K. with shows in Scotland, Ireland, and at London’s O2 Arena, as well as amphitheaters, theaters, and small arenas throughout the United States starting in February and going all the way through November.
Opening the tour on select stops will be combinations of Margo Price, The Marcus King Band, Brothers Osborne, songwriter Kendell Marvel, and Brent Cobb who was part of the 2018 All-American Roadshow lineup. Each stop will feature two openers, with another opener yet to be named. Tickets for the newly-announced shows will go on sale to the wide masses beginning Friday, February 1 at 10:00 a.m. local time, and Tuesday, January 29th for Stapleton fan club members, and for those who are willing to sign for some credit card presale situation through Citi.
Chris Stapleton’s run of good luck has continued into 2019, with nominations for Best Country Album for From A Room: Vol. 2, and Best Country Solo Performance for “Millionaire” for the upcoming Grammy Awards. Chris Stapleton was also once again named the top artist in country by Billboard, which takes in multiple data points to come to that conclusion.

Saw him from 15 feet away 3 times right before and after he blew up and now he’s playing Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta w/George Strait. Just wow!
January 23, 2019 @ 12:38 pm
I saw him at Forecastle right after Traveler came out and I remember people clearing out before he got on stage and me telling them they were going to miss a hell of a show. I got front row and he killed it. I’m glad that Chris has shown radio needs him more than the other way!
January 23, 2019 @ 9:14 am
I was hoping that he would take some time off, write some new material, and come out with a fresh album. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t write new material for a new time, though, and just rides this wave. I can’t blame the man for getting those checks, and he clearly loves playing and singing, especially with his wife and his “special guests.” I love his choices of openers. I know several people who go turned on to Brent Cobb from last year’s tour.
January 23, 2019 @ 11:15 am
Me too. I’m also a little worried that after three years as an opener for Stapleton, Brent Cobb is just sort of settling into a “support” role forever. Must be comfy (especially with a wife and kid to consider), but come on.
I love Brent Cobb, and loved his last two albums. I just want to see him spread his own wings, on his own cross-country headlining tour.
January 23, 2019 @ 12:17 pm
Brent Cobb is currently headlining his own tour around the southeast, along with opening up for some great acts, Stapleton included.
January 23, 2019 @ 10:02 am
I’ve been waiting for a review on Kendall Marvel Trigg. He’s worth people getting to know.
January 23, 2019 @ 10:06 am
He’s so great live and Brent is a great opener. It looks like he’s hitting some different cities this time. I’m hoping for new material too but he’s got to ride this while he can.
January 23, 2019 @ 10:31 am
Trigger why no write up on the great Reggie Young? His work and guitar riffs are legendary and worked on not only great pop songs but also part of Waylon’s All-Star Band.
January 23, 2019 @ 11:29 am
He played on some of the most iconic songs ever.
RIP Reggie

REPOST: “By the time the death of Reggie Young reached my desk, The Associated Press and Gannett had distributed some 150 obituaries of him around the internet. Mine would have been 151, and useless to the public. The death has not gone unnoticed, or ignored, and if and when I have something valuable to add to the story and his legacy, I will do so.”
UPDATE: There are now over 200 obituaries for Reggie Young, and the more people who ask why nothing on Reggie Young, the more it verifies that I don’t need to write something telling people Reggie Young died until I have something of actual value to add. As I’ve said before, the last two weeks have been the busiest time for news/album releases/release announcements/new singles/deaths/etc. that I have seen in over 10 years of covering country music. I’m a one-man operation, and so what I try to specialize in is covering the things everyone else is NOT covering, instead of offering the 201st regurgitation of Reggie Young’s Wikipedia page for nobody to read.

Kinda surprised by Brothers Osborne as an opener, considering those guys walk such a fine line toward Nashville bro-douche. Admittedly though, I am a fan and will be seeing them headline in DC next month.
Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised, though. I did mention in the comments on this site, not too long ago, that I thought Port St. Joe leaned much harder into a Stapleton/Dave Cobb aesthetic, compared to their first album. Looks more clear now, than ever before, that they’re consciously aiming to occupy the same niche space Stapleton has been in for a few years now – that sweet spot between organic/traditional and radio-friendly.
January 24, 2019 @ 6:41 am
I agree. I saw them open for Stapleton a couple years ago, along with Lucie Silva, and it was a nice fitting bill. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that they learned a lot from Stapleton in the first tour and helped channel that into Port St. Joe.
January 24, 2019 @ 8:42 am
Ah, didn’t know they opened for Stapleton previously. The Stapleton influence on Port St. Joe makes even more sense now.
January 23, 2019 @ 12:41 pm
Im sure Stapleton will face some scrutiny over the Bros Osborne as openers, but i for one love it. I love his more organic and traditional leaning choices and i think they will fit perfectly for a Stapleton show. I thought Port Saint Joe went criminally underrated last year and was easily my most played record from 2018. Heres hoping they stay more independently minded and less Nashville minded.

CS is now the Grateful Dead of country music.

It would have been nice if Marty Stuart and the Fab Superlatives could have continued touring with him. They earned rave reviews. But I am sure schedules dictate otherwise.
January 23, 2019 @ 5:59 pm
Wayne, I agree. I saw Marty open for Chris last year, but had one complaint. Marty played a few of his hits, but mostly obscure songs and didn’t include “Hillbilly Rock” in his set. Love it or hate it, that is the one song that introduced Marty to the masses in the 1990s. As his set ended, I thought about Roy Acuff being known for saying “Sing the songs that brought you here.”
Maybe this is a trend, I saw Ronnie Milsap last week at The Ryman and he didn’t sing “Smoky Mountain Rain” or “It Was Almost Like a Song.” Again, I thought of Roy.
January 23, 2019 @ 7:50 pm
I saw Marty Stuart in July and he opened with “Hillbilly Rock,” then said, “Thank you! And Goodnight.”
He was incredible. He took requests: “This ain’t exactly Carnegie Hall. Ya’ll are sitting in dirt; the least I can do is play you a song.”
January 23, 2019 @ 8:41 pm
Marty has been touring behind a very acclaimed album recently and has had a string of them with the Superlatives. The guy is a living breathing time capsule. Anyone who wants to gripe because he doesn’t play his one hokey charting single can piss right off.
January 23, 2019 @ 9:03 pm
It’s a simple opinion, not a Republican political comment. Piss off yourself.

How awesome to help people that truly need help. And, I like the no attention needed part of the donation. Like Elvis used to do. Makes me wonder why more Artists do not do a concert to help raise money for the USS ARIZONA to get back in shape for people to visit. Honor our fellow men & women that served our Country & made it possible for a lot of the privileges that we take for granted today.

I’d like to get some feedback from anyone who’s attended the current Stapleton Roadshow. My friend got tickets for the two of us, but when I heard the price, I gulped hard. $265. They were good seats, but still! She ended up selling them (partly for other reasons). Is it just me? I love CS, But can an infinite number of fans afford that? I’m old; I don’t know these things. This was in Bossier City, Louisiana.
