Gary Allan has announced his plan to extend 'Get Off on the Pain Tour,' with the tour picking up again on Sept.16 in Salt Lake City, Utah before he makes his way to the Colorado Springs World Arena Sept. 18. He'll hit more than 30 markets in North American before the end of the year.
The first leg of the tour included sold out shows across the nation including: Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and New Orleans. After a huge first run, Allan and his team couldn't pass up a chance to build upon their successes.
'The first leg of the tour concentrated on intimate venues I'd always wanted to headline, like The Fillmore and The Ryman,' Allan said. 'On the next leg of the tour we are going to bigger arenas and amphitheaters. It is exciting to take the tour to the next level. It'll be a great night of hard rocking music. The fans are in for a party!'
Always a critics favorite, The New York Times raved about Allan's latest album saying 'Get off on the Pain is the year's best country album thus far...treads perilously close to Johnny Cash territory, holy ground Mr. Allan has more than earned the right to.'
Randy Houser and Jerrod Niemann have signed on to join Allan on this leg of the tour. Los Angeles Times has written that Houser adds 'grit to the genre' with his debut album ANYTHING GOES, the Mississippi-born, soul-drenched country singer/songwriter became one of the next big artists to emerge in the genre. His sophomore album THEY CALL ME CADILLAC, is due later this year and features current single, 'I'm All About It.' Houser's 'Boots On' music video is nominated for CMT Music Award's USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year. Sea Gayle/ Arista Nashville recording artist Jerrod Niemann is a Kansas native who first made a name for himself as a songwriter, co-writing Garth Brooks' 'Good Ride Cowboy,' among others. Jerrod's currently hot on the charts with his groove-filled hit single, 'Lover, Lover.'
The 'Make A Difference Tour 2010' will make a difference for children by helping to raise up sponsors for 25,000 children through World Vision. Lucado set the goal last year in honor of his 25th year of publishing in 2010; he is donating 100% of author royalties from all Outlive Your Life products to benefit children and families through World Vision and other ministries of faith-based compassion.
Lucado sees big things happening because of the tour: 'Partnering with World Vision, TobyMac, Michael and Third Day is a real privilege and pleasure. None of us can help everyone, but all of us can help someone. And when we serve the poor, we serve God. Who would want to miss a chance to do that?'
'The `Make A Difference Tour 2010' is different by design,' says Jenny Lockwald, Channel/Product Executive Director for World Vision. 'The focus of the tour is to encourage people to look beyond themselves, to turn outward and to make a difference on behalf of friends, neighbors, their community and the world. We are honored to be partnering in this endeavor with Max Lucado and this amazing group of artists.'
'This marks a first for these four artists to tour together,' says Steve Moore, Senior Vice President, AEG Live / MEG. 'Max, Michael, Toby and the men of Third Day all agree this message is the perfect rallying point, and that making a difference for others is a lifelong commitment they all share.'
