Jamey Johnson has spent two decades earning the title the Washington Post handed him: “one of the greatest country singers of our time.” His 2026 Traveling Truebadour headlining tour makes that case across 31 dates, running May through October, with tickets for most shows going on sale Friday, April 17 at 10 a.m. local time at jameyjohnson.com/tour.
The tour opens May 8 at Anderson Music Hall in Hiawassee, GA and runs through October 11 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, NY. Johnson never plays the same setlist twice, tailoring every performance to the room and the crowd in front of him. Expect songs from his latest album ‘Midnight Gasoline,’ new music from his upcoming record, and established classics including “In Color” and “High Cost of Living,” whether solo acoustic or with a full band behind him.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Johnson’s major label debut, ‘The Dollar,’ a record that launched one of traditional country’s most consistent and critically respected careers. He’s one of only two artists in country music history, alongside Kris Kristofferson, to win two Song of the Year awards in the same year, taking both the ACM and CMA honors for “Give It Away” and “In Color.” Rolling Stone calls his “one of country music’s most seasoned voices,” and Don Henley has described him as “the nearest thing” we have to George Jones.
Thirty-one dates are confirmed now with more being added. Several festival appearances and free events are woven into the routing alongside theatre and casino stops across the South, Midwest, and beyond.
