Byrd returns to the road

Byrd, who has been inactive in recent years outside of Texas, will play some dates with fellow Beaumont, Texas artist Mark Chesnutt.

Byrd has released 34 singles and 10 studio albums, including four certified gold, one platinum and one double platinum by the RIAA. Among his hits are "Holdin' Heaven," "Watermelon Crawl," "Big Love," "I'm From The Country," "Ten Rounds of Jose Cuervo," "Drinkin' Bone" and "The Keeper of the Stars," which won the CMA Song of the Year honor.

"I am really enjoying getting back out on the road," said Byrd. "I loved spending time off watching the kids grow, but I have missed seeing the legion of fans that we had gained over the years. I look forward to reconnecting with them on the road."

Byrd's last release was "All American Texan" in 2016.
