This Jamey Johnson “What A View” Tour Looks Killer

Let’s face it. What many Jamey Johnson fans really want is the announcement of a new album. But in lieu of that, they’ll settle for a mess of new tour dates, especially with the roster of openers Jamey Johnson has lined up. Called the “What a View” tour and focusing mostly on the eastern and Midwest part of the United States (for now), it’s the opportunity to see one of country music’s most staunch flamekeepers.
Joining Jamey Johnson for runs of shows will be some pretty big flamekeepers of their own. Speaking of hoping for a new album, 2nd generation singing marvel Ben Haggard will be joining Jamey for numerous shows. So will Outlaw revivalists Whitey Morgan and the 78’s. Charles Wesley Godwin will also join Jamey for a show in Tupelo, Mississippi, with Southall and Drake White also lined up to open select shows.
These days Jamey Johnson heads one of the largest country bands in existence, with backup singers, horn sections, multiple lead guitar players, and of course steel guitar player “Cowboy” Eddie Long.
And those hoping for new music may also get their wish sooner than later. Johnson reportedly spent time in 2023 writing songs in a dedicated manner for the first time in a while. The name of the tour “What A View” is the title to one of the new songs he came up with, and that will be featured on the tour.
Pre-Sales begin April 17th at 10AM Local. On-Sale April 19 beginning at 10AM Local. Password: WHATAVIEW. Tickets can be purchased at jameyjohnson.com/tour.

Bought my tickets this morning! Looking forward to seeing Ben Haggard open for Jamey
April 17, 2024 @ 10:44 pm
Just listen to Merle greatest hits and you have a Ben Haggard show
April 17, 2024 @ 8:46 am
I’m happy to see Ben Haggard on that list. I wish he was “out there” more. A great talent.
April 17, 2024 @ 8:56 am
Jamey Johnson is such an interesting case study. 2008, 2009 he was selling out mid to large size theaters. 7-8 years ago, he couldn’t even sell out Hard Rock Cafes. Now he’s back to headlining major venues. All without releasing an album (let alone a hit song).
I’ll be there at Stage AE!
April 17, 2024 @ 9:02 am
That is a bad-ass tour — wish it was coming my way. But yeah 14 years since his last album of original material, and even then that was just his 3rd. A bit overdue for something new.
April 17, 2024 @ 9:20 am
OOOOH Jamey with Whitey as an opener in my state. i am definitely interested in this one
April 17, 2024 @ 11:16 am
Wish he was bringing Whitey to my state.
April 18, 2024 @ 4:53 am
Allegan, MI, is country. I’ll try to make that one.
April 17, 2024 @ 9:30 am
Got my tickets this morning. Jamey & Whitey in my hometown.
April 17, 2024 @ 9:53 am
Jamey in concert is hilarious.
So fun.
April 17, 2024 @ 10:09 am
Speaking of new material, any word on anything new from Whitey’s camp??? Not nearly as long as Jamey but Hard Times was 2018.
April 17, 2024 @ 12:29 pm
I’ve asked several times in the comments and nothing new seems to be on the horizon.
April 17, 2024 @ 12:39 pm
Based on their social media posts, they were in the studio last week.
April 18, 2024 @ 5:35 am
Good pickers in that band.
April 17, 2024 @ 10:19 am
Got the artist presale tix in hand with Whitey opening. Can’t wait. Looking forward to this show as much as Red Clay Strays at the Rymann. What a fantastic time for live music we are living in.
April 19, 2024 @ 1:53 am
yes it’s a great time but only if you live in the U.S.
April 17, 2024 @ 11:36 am
We saw Johnson over a decade ago. You all should have been there to see it, in color. ????
April 17, 2024 @ 2:05 pm
Fantastic news.
I hope he and Ben do some West Coast shows.
April 17, 2024 @ 3:33 pm
@savingcountrymusic.com – My kind of country music Ben Haggard opening for Mr. Jamey Johnson in “What a view” 2024 shows. Texas awaits!
April 17, 2024 @ 5:27 pm
The only one close to me is beaver dam. Def wish Ben haggard was going to be there. Would be a no brainer, not sure about the opener here.
April 17, 2024 @ 7:40 pm
Would love to hear more new music from Jamey without a doubt – but I have also been wishing for a Ben Haggard record for years – I truly think he will be an incredible artist once he steps foot into the spotlight – he and his brother have been continuing their father’s legacy but it’s time for him to give us his artistry.
April 18, 2024 @ 4:35 am
just got our tickets for Lewiston, NY. It will be our 5th time seeing Jamey & our 1st time seeing Ben
April 18, 2024 @ 4:43 am
If he’s playing near you go and see him. Regardless of not releasing new music for over a decade the live show is incredible and the band he tours with is so tight.
April 18, 2024 @ 7:57 am
Praying he gets back to Texas (and for the new music).

Is Jamey Johnson really the person to whom Alexander Graham Bell was referring, upon uttering, “What hath Harlow Wilcox wrought?”
