The “Drunk on a Plane” singer shared a statement in a press release about his decision to extend hisGravel & GoldTour. He explained, “TheGravel & GoldTour has been the best of my career, and I’m not ready to leave it behind.”
“We are so locked in with this production that it allows me to be living right in the moment with the fans, and that’s the magic!” Bentley continued. “I’m bringing along some old friends and some newer artists who are all putting their own unique spin on country, bluegrass and Americana music. I can’t wait to watch their shows and hopefully sing with them too. Those collaborations are a highlight of my summer every year.”
“It’s gonna be a killer summer, y’all. Can’t wait to see you guys out there,” Bentley says at the end of the clip.
When the “Beers On Me” singer releasedGravel & Goldin early 2023, he spoke to PEOPLE abouthis process creating what became his 10th studio album.
He explained that the project was born out of moving back to Nashville after living with hisfamilyin Colorado for a period, despite being unsure about the move. “The entirety of the album all ties back to the song ‘Same Ol’ Me,'" he shared. “The further you go, sometimes there you are. This album is a lot like my first record. It feels like a full circle moment in a way.”
