 Courtesy: EBM An Evening With Brandy Clark & Charlie Worsham launches on April 6 Nashville, Tenn. – Two of Nashville’s “best-kept secret(s)” (Billboard/Taste of Country) are getting together for a noteworthy tour promising an incredible night of music and immense talent. Warner Bros. Record’s labelmates Brandy Clark and Charlie Worsham will come together on more than 20 tour dates this spring. Having previously collaborated on multiple esteemed events including Front and Center’s CMA Songwriter Series as well as Worsham’s 2016 MidniteJamboree – which Billboard’s Chris Willman called “the hottest show of CMA Fest…in every conceivable way” – the revered pair will hit the road together beginning on April 6 at The Southern in Charlottesville, Va. with stops in Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, Nashville, Tenn. and more. Tickets are on sale now at www.ticketmaster.com andwww.ticketfly.com. "Charlie Worsham is one of my favorite singers, songwriters, and musicians. I absolutely love his new record and where his heart is musically," shares Clark, "I can't wait to share the stage with him." “Few artists can make you feel the power of music quite like Brandy Clark,” raved CMT of Clark’s ability to move crowds with only her voice and an acoustic guitar. Last year marked several successful acoustic tours and the release of her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Big Day in a Small Town, which was produced by Nashville’s Jay Joyce and garnered Clark two 2017 GRAMMY nominations for Best Country Album and Best Country Solo Performance for her emotional second single, “Love Can Go To Hell.” The album has been revered as "gritty and visceral" (Associated Press), "aggressive and big-grinned" (SPIN) and also “made her one of country’s driving forces” (TIME). Rolling Stone praised, “it's music tooled alternately for stadiums and songwriting circles, commercial and public radio, line-dance bars and coffee shops…Clark is good at bending country boilerplate.” "Brandy is everything I love about country music. She speaks her truth, and she breaks new ground with every song she writes," shares Worsham. "She's beloved by the Nashville community, and each time she and I have collaborated, it's been a blast. This tour is going to be so much fun, and I know the fans who fill up the venue each night will bring with them the same deep love for music that we have as artists."
Widely acclaimed within the Nashville community, Worsham is set for a breakthrough year with the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album, Beginning of Things. Already receiving advance critical acclaim, NPR Music praises, “…Worsham has made a sophomore album that, if there's justice, will give him an unforgettable year. It's a strong statement of purpose and further proof that country aimed at the center can be deeply intelligent, beautifully crafted and meaningful," while American Songwriter asserts, “…shows him to be one of country’s most formidable dark horses, a quiet contender worthy of the attention and airplay claimed by his less cerebral contemporaries…" The album is now available for pre-order, which includes instant downloads of five recently unveiled tracks—“The Beginning of Things,” “Old Times Sake,” “Southern By The Grace of God,” “Cut Your Groove,” and “Call You Up.” An Evening with Brandy Clark & Charlie Worsham Dates Thursday, April 6 The Southern Charlottesville, VA Friday, April 7 20th Century Theatre Cincinnati, OH Saturday, April 8 House of Blues Cleveland, OH Sunday, April 9 The Ark Ann Arbor, MI Monday, April 10 Lyric Theatre Lexington, KY Friday, April 14 The Grey Eagle Asheville, NC Saturday, April 15 Harvester Performing Arts Ctr Rocky Mount, VA Thursday, April 20 City Winery New York, NY Saturday, April 22 Rams Head On Stage Annapolis, MD Sunday, April 23 The Hamilton Washington DC Wednesday, April 26 Parish at House of Blues New Orleans, LA Thursday, April 27 Dosey Doe The Woodlands, TX Friday, April 28 Sam’s Burger Joint San Antonio, TX Saturday, April 29 Live Oak Music Hall Fort Worth, TX Sunday, April 30 Antone’s Austin, TX Friday, May 5 WorkPlay Theatre Birmingham, AL Sunday, May 7 The Steeple Mobile, AL Thursday, May 11 40 Watt Club Athens, GA Friday, May 12 The Blind Tiger Greensboro, NC Saturday, May 13 The Broadberry Richmond, VA Friday, May 19 City Winery Nashville, TN Saturday, May 20 City Winery Atlanta, GA Thursday, June 15 Delmar Hall Saint Louis, MO Friday, June 16 Wooly’s Des Moines, IA Saturday, June 17 Turf Club St. Paul, MN Sunday, June 18 The Waiting Room Lounge Omaha, NE ABOUT BRANDY CLARK The Morton, Washington-native received her first of six career GRAMMY nominations in 2013 in the Best Country Song category for co-writing the Miranda Lambert No. 1 hit “Mama’s Broken Heart.” She won the 2014 CMA Song of the Year Award for “Follow Your Arrow,” which she co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Kacey Musgraves, and was also named the 2014 Music Row Breakthrough Artist of the Year.
