Tracy Byrd Books Massive 2019 Tour to Celebrate 25 Years
Tracy Byrd is marking 25 years since his first big hit in 2019, and to celebrate the special occasion, he's returning to the road for a tour that finds him performing all over the United States for the first time in several years.
The country hitmaker first reached No. 1 in 1993 with “Holdin’ Heaven,” and he followed up with a string of hits that includes “Watermelon Crawl,” “Big Love,” “I’m From the Country,” “Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo,” “Drinkin’ Bone,” and “The Keeper of the Stars,” which won ACM Song of the Year honors in 1996. He's released 34 singles and ten studio albums, four of which have been certified gold, one platinum and one double platinum by the RIAA.
Byrd has been taking it relatively easy on the career front over the past few years, restricting his touring activities to his home state of Texas, but that's all about to change. He'll kick off his 2019 tour with a performance at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, Calif., on Feb. 2, and he's got dates scheduled all the way out to Dec. 21, when he closes out his touring year with a show at the Jefferson Theater in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas.
Byrd is also teaming up with fellow Beaumont native Mark Chesnutt for select dates billed as the Beaumont Boys in 2019.
“I am really enjoying getting back out on the road,” he says in a press release. “I loved spending time off watching the kids grow, but I have missed seeing the legion of fans that we had gained over the years. I look forward to reconnecting with them on the road!”
