Tritt bags shows requiring vax, test, mask
As a result, the Miss. on Nov. 6, Peoria, Ill. on Nov 11 and Louisville, Ky. on Nov. 13.
In a statement released today, Tritt said, "I'm putting my money where my mouth is and announcing that any venue or promoter mandating masks, requiring vaccinations or pushing COVID testing protocols on my fans will not be tolerated. Any show I have booked that discriminates against concert-goers by requiring proof of vaccination, a COVID test, or a mask is being canceled immediately."
"Many people are taking a firm stand against these mandates around the country, and I wholeheartedly support that cause. I have been extremely vocal against mandates since the beginning. This is a sacrifice that I'm willing to make to stand up for the freedoms that generations of Americans have enjoyed for their entire lifetimes. There are plenty of promoters and venues around the country that appreciate fans and the freedom of choice in this great country, and those are the promoters and venues that I will be supporting."
"I'm sorry for any inconvenience this situation creates for anyone who had purchased tickets to these shows. We will try to reschedule unrestricted shows in these areas as soon as we can."
Shows that do not have mandates will continue as scheduled.
Tritt's response is in contrast to Jason Isbell, who has vaccinations or a negative test.

Originally released in 1987 on Copperhill Records, it helped earn him his first major label record deal - with Warner Bros. Nashville. The 11 songs, all written or co-written by Tritt, reflect the classic country era they were recorded in and show that Tritt was a talent ready for national exposure.
Some of these melodies and rhythms offer foreshadowing of hits that would be in Tritt's future. ...
Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about today's digital music world, one in which new artists are emerging at an unprecedented rate and nabbing spots on radio and major outlets is that so many artists who've got it the hard way, earning their way through the ranks and establishing themselves, have almost been forgotten. And it's not a new trend, but one that is becoming increasingly apparent, even as these new artists speak of the value of classic country while trodding right ...
If you ever wonder what exactly happened to Travis Tritt, it's entirely possible he's asking the same thing himself. To review, there once was a time when grunge and hip hop were ascending, and millions of displaced popular music fans turned to its country cousin.
