Simpson, Childers announce tour

Tuesday, October 29, 2019 – Sturgill Simpson will launch an arena tour in 2020 to support his non-country release , "Sound & Fury," with Tyler Childers providing support.

The 2020 Sturgill Simpson: A Good Look'n Tour begins Feb. 21 in Birmingham, Ala. and ends
May 24 in Louisville. Kentucky is the home state of both artists.

Simpson produced both albums from Childers, including his August-released "Country Squire," which debuted at number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.

In an effort to fight against scalpers and ensure tickets get into the hands of fans, the tour has partnered with Ticketmaster's Verified Fan platform. Fans can gain first access to tickets by registering for the Verified Fan presale now through Nov. 3 at 10 p.m. local time. Registered fans who receive a code will have access to purchase tickets before the general public beginning Nov. 5 at 10 a.m. local time.

On the heels of releasing "Sound & Fury" and an accompanying anime film of the same name released simultaneously via Netflix, Simpson hit the road for a brief six date club tour, donating all proceeds to the Special Forces Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides immediate and ongoing support to the Special Forces community and their families. $1 from each ticket sold for the Sturgill Simpson: A Good Look'n Tour will also be donated to benefit the Special Forces Foundation.

CD review - Purgatory Over the course of the 10 songs on "Purgatory," Lawrence County, Ky.'s Tyler Childers establishes himself as one of the brightest new songwriting stars - an insightful author blessed with an ability to capture and convey gritty snapshots of rural American life. The scenes depicted in these songs are so vivid and evocative that listeners are left to ponder if these are autobiographical stories or works of fiction. There is no better example here than "Banded Clovis," a ...
