Nashville newcomer Corey Kent has a headlining tour coming up in September.   The Opry Next Stage and CMT Listen Up Artist has released his album “Blacktop” and has already amassed over 750 million streams.

Braxton Keith, Kaitlin Butts, Max McNown, Karley Scott Collins, and Lauren Watkins will be joining Kent on some of the dates.

The album title is a reference to what Kent and the band would do in the early days – lots of travel on the road saying, “it all started with a bunch of Oklahoma boys piling into a red van called ‘Rooster’ and taking any gig we could get. We believed our live show would speak for itself, and we’d hustle to the merch table after our set to sling t-shirts in hopes of making enough to fill up the van to get to the next show. All those sleepless nights in the van, all the opening slots, all the miles, all the shirt slinging, all the blood, the sweat and the tears PAY OFF TODAY!”  Today, I’m stoked to announce our first ever headline tour starting here in the USA and then hopping across the pond! Time to make some memories.”

As for the black bandana…”for us, the black bandana has been what we’ve picked up in times when everyone thought we should wave a white flag to surrender I’ve spent a lot of years raising my black bandana high and letting ’em know that I wasn’t giving up that easy. I’m so excited to still be doing what I love and can’t wait to get on the road this fall and see all those black bandanas waving back at me.”

Tickets go on sale June 21 at 10 am local time and are available at coreykentofficial.com.
