Newcomer JT Hodges is gaining fans left and right day after day as his debut single, 'Hunt You Down,' continues to impact country radio. Chances are his fan base will go through the roof after this summer, as he will be hitting the road with Toby Keith and Eric Church on the 2011 Locked and Loaded Tour.

"I'm so excited to be on this amazing tour," Hodges tells Taste of Country. "It's an amazing opportunity! Toby and Eric are both fantastic artists. Just to have the opportunity to be inspired by and get to know them on this tour, and to have the opportunity to get up in front of a lot of people and do my thing will be a great experience."

The 2011 Locked and Loaded Tour kicks off on June 30 in Mt. Pleasant, Mich. at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. The trek continues on throughout the summer and fall months, coming to an end in mid-November. Click here for a complete list of dates where the tour will be stopping.
