Brooks & Dunn, The Last Rodeo Tour

FROM THE PROMOTERS

Brooks and Dunn will stop at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater June 18.   Tickets goes on sale 10 a.m. March 6.

Nashville, TN – Superstar duo Brooks & Dunn made a special appearance today during the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville to announce that the final show on their upcoming concert trek, The Last Rodeo Tour, will be Brooks & Dunn and Friends, a benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum. Set to take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on August 10, with special guests to be announced, the show will mark the concert culmination of the duo’s groundbreaking 20-year career.

In sharing the news, Brooks & Dunn offered this statement: “For several years, we have tossed around ideas for the best way to make a contribution to the Museum. We have a tremendous appreciation for the road that was traveled by the great stars that came before us. Their long nights in station wagons with instruments strapped on the roofs built an industry that allowed us to cruise around in big tour buses. Our last show together will certainly be a historic point in our lives and careers, and we feel it’s only right that the proceeds from this concert go to a place where all history in our business is so reverently preserved.”

“The enormity of this gesture, including the endorsement it implies and the example it sets, is something the Museum’s board and staff will contemplate with gratitude for a very long time,” said Museum Director Kyle Young. “We are grateful to Kix and Ronnie for supporting our educational mission and for putting the Museum on the radar screen of their nation of fans. The only word for them is magnificent!”

The Nashville show will join the majority of The Last Rodeo Tour dates going on sale March 6. A complete list of dates and markets appears below. Visit www.livenation.com or www.ticketmaster.com for tickets. Fans can watch the duo’s website at www.brooks-dunn.com for all the latest tour information.

Ticket price for the Nashville show will be $25 (plus convenience fee). The show will be produced by Brian O’Connell on behalf of Live Nation.

Alternating selected dates on The Last Rodeo Tour will be Jason Aldean (on most shows through June13), with Gary Allan on board for the remaining dates. Tyler Dickerson will be opening throughout the tour. Guests for the Nashville show will be announced at a later date.

The tour follows last year’s release of Brooks & Dunn’s career-spanning double-disc collection, #1s … and then some, which features 30 favorites in all, including an amazing 23 #1 hits.

Music from the Crooked Road

Mountain Music of Virginia

The “Crooked Road” is Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, winding through the mountains of southwest Virginia, where bluegrass and traditional country music have echoed in the hills and hollows for generations. The artists of the Crooked Road Project—balladeer Elizabeth LaPrelle, guitarist and guitar maker Wayne Henderson, lightning-fast banjo picker Sammy Shelor, fiddler and banjo players Kirk Sutphin and Eddie Bond, the Whitetop Mountain Band, and Amber Collins and No Speed Limit—are the descendants and keepers of hundreds of years of musical tradition.
