Kershaw Tippin, Diffie hit road together
On stage together, the trio perform acoustic versions of their more than 40 top 10hit songs, as well as share stories about the roots of their music.
"The 'Roots & Boots' tour is three friends who love country music having a good time, telling jokes about each other and telling jokes on each other," said Kershaw. "We tell stories behind all of our songs. It's a great show, so don't be square, be there."
Diffie said, "Sam, Aaron and I have a great time doing these shows, and the fans do too. It's always an adventure."
