"One of the most humbling things about this tour is that we are going all over North America playing some of our favorite arenas, cities and festivals with huge crowds showing up at our shows," said lead singer Randy Owen.

"Teddy, Jeff and I thank God every day when we walk on stage and share our songs and voices that He blessed us with," he said, referring to band mates Teddy Gentry on bass and lead guitarist Jeff Cook.

The Charlie Daniels Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Beach Boys, John Anderson, Restless Heart, Exile, John Michael Montgomery,S cotty McCreery and Canadian artist Charlie Major will play shows.

"We are very fortunate to have made many friends over the last 50 years," said Gentry. "On this tour, we decided to ask some of them to come along and play with us. We have the best of the best. It's a lot of fun to hang out and watch our special guests every night."

"Randy, Teddy and I have been overwhelmed by the support the fans have given us and especially me since my Parkinson's diagnosis," said Cook. "The only reason for this is because we want our music to live on, and we love our fans. Thank you so much."
