Remember Drowning Pool’s “Bodies”? Now imagine it sung by heavy metal Muppets who can only count to four. That’s exactly what Psychostick did in their parody “Numbers”—or as literally everyone calls it, “I Can Only Count to Four.” Chaos. Genius. Sesame Street gone metal.
JP Saxe & Shallou Collaborate On “I Haven’t Said Enough (Shallou Remix)”
Today multi-platinum singer-songwriter JP Saxe and indie-electronic producer Shallou release “I Haven’t Said Enough (Shallou Remix)” out now via Arista Records. The pair have joined together to bring brand new energy to the R.E.M. classic “Losing My Religion.”
JP Saxe and Shallou collaborate for the first time on the remix for “I Haven’t Said Enough” recently released on Make Yourself At Home, as it is now infused with Shallou’s atmospheric beat-driven production. On the story behind “I Haven’t Said Enough” JP Saxe explains, “I had these verses for months. I wanted them to feel devastatingly committed to remaining moved in the face of phone screen imagery that slow drip kills your willingness to feel like a human, but I couldn’t get that feeling right, and then one day in the studio I started singing R.E.M.’s ‘Losing My Religion’ along with my verses, and it was perfect. I asked them if I could use it, and to my immensely grateful surprise, they said yes. So, here’s my interpolation of one of my favorite songs of all time, at a time when remaining a big feeling person committed to compassion is getting increasingly complicated.”
Discussing collaborating with JP Saxe, Shallou shares, “JP has a rare ability to write lyrics and songs that seem to reach out from the speakers and grab you. In this case, I deeply resonated with the message of the song—and as a longtime fan of R.E.M., that connection ran even deeper. While most interpolations tend to fall flat for me, this one stood out as an excellent reinterpretation of the original concept, thoughtfully recontextualized for a modern audience. With the remix, all I aimed to do was enhance the beautiful elements already present—adding a bit of top-down, volume-all-the-way-up energy. The kind of sound you blast in the car letting those feelings of frustration pour out.”
Recently, Saxe shared his album Make Yourself At Home exploring universal emotions and experiences with charismatic vocals and relatable self-examination. While diving into themes of belonging, desire, and discipline, Saxe is unafraid of questioning his own desires and motivations. The album included, “STRANGERS” featuring Argentinian star TINI, a gorgeously tense and highly relatable song that balances nostalgia with acceptance for a relationship that’s run its course. The single is part of a run of tracks that perfectly pair thoughtful and bluntly real emotional exploration with evocative instrumentation throughout the two-part album.
Before that came Articulate Excuses singles including: “SAFE,” which explored masculinity in an R&B-kissed pop track co-written/produced by Malay (Frank Ocean, Lorde, FLETCHER); “SMARTPHONE MAKE ME DUMB,” a deeply vulnerable meditation on modern escapism; and “I WANNA MOVE TO BROOKLYN,” an apology for being the worst part of oneself turned into an addictive pop song.
In 2024, Saxe wrapped up his sold-out, headlining A Grey Area World Tour following his support of John Mayer’s 2023 arena run and the release of Saxe’s last album, A Gray Area. That reflective set was largely produced by Malay and included the single “I Don’t Miss You” with Mayer, plus collaborations with Latin-GRAMMY®-winning Colombian artist Camilo, the folk-pop trio Tiny Habits, and beloved singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine. The album garnered praise from Billboard, People, Forbes, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and more.
Saxe shared a pair of performance LPs last year: A Grey Area (Live Sessions) — featuring acclaimed guest instrumentalists like Cory Henry and Tal Wilkenfeld — and Live on Stage, which included a solo version of his 2019 blockbuster, “If the World Was Ending,” a 4x Platinum GRAMMY® nominated song that has been streamed over 2 billion times worldwide. Saxe has already proven himself to be a master of off-the-cuff intimacy, but in his current era, it’s clear he’s intent on bringing us in even closer — experience that in-person at one of the upcoming dates below.

Dasha Shares Emotional New Single “Oh, Anna!” Ahead Of Global Tour With Thomas Rhett And Kane Brown
Opening up like never before, globally RIAA certified 40 times Platinum pop-country sensation Dasha delivers her most personal single yet – “Oh, Anna!” out now.
“When my career took off last year, everything changed so fast—and in the whirlwind, I felt like I lost myself. It was disorienting and, honestly, scary. I faced a lot of hate in the middle of my success, and for a while, my confidence disappeared.
So I wrote a song—not just for who I am now, but for the fearless little girl I used to be. The one with big dreams, unshakable pride, and a clear sense of self. This song is a reminder of her strength, her clarity, and her joy.
I hope when people hear it, they reconnect with their own younger selves—the purest versions of who they are. And if they’re feeling lost, I want them to know: sometimes the way forward is found by remembering where you started.
My name is Anna Dasha—and I’m proud to say, she’s back.”
Written by Dasha, Hillary Lindsey, Emily Weisband, and Chris LaCorte, commences with softly strummed acoustic chords, while the breakthrough superstar addresses her younger self—using her first name “Anna.” Through echoes of slide guitar, she makes a confession on the chantable chorus, “I feel more like a scared little kid than I ever did back then. I need you to come back a little, come back a little, make me that girl again, oh Anna!” The story unfolds like a diary entry in motion, accented by an eloquently phrased, loose guitar lead.
She initially teased “Oh, Anna!” during her showstopping appearance at CMA Fest 2025 in Nashville. Country Now hailed it as “a high-energy performance,” and Holler. called it “moving, vulnerable,” going on to note, “The evocative track finds Dasha once again showcasing the rich emotionality she continually laces into her music, with the California native addressing someone she appears to have lost touch with of late.”
Last month, Dasha showcased her versatility with an Official Remix of her recent buzzing single “Not At This Party” by GRAMMY Award-winning superstar artist, producer, and DJ David Guetta. It has already reeled in over 7 million Spotify streams and counting. Not to mention, she performed “Not At This Party” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Since its arrival, the original “Not At This Party” has generated north of 98 million-plus streams and counting. Billboard hailed it as “authentically Dasha,” going on to applaud how, “By the chorus, the melody explodes as the character takes over the dancefloor, publicly exuding a good time while she flashes back internally to an intimate moment in a car with a guy who has backed away from her.” Holler. raved, “after hearing her newest offering, ‘Not At This Party,‘ it’s evident that Dasha is so much more than just ‘Austin.‘” Listen to “Not At This Party” co-written by Ashley Gorley (Morgan Wallen) and Ben Johnson (Jelly Roll, BigXthaPlug ) HERE and watch the Aerin Moreno (Tate McRae, Tyla) directed music video HERE.
Most importantly, it kickstarted her sophomore country project. In 2024, the singer landed coveted spots at country music meccas, Stagecoach, Austin City Limits, CMT Awards, and CMA Fest. Her year didn’t stop there, though. She sold-out her first global headlining tour, Dashville USA, and performed on two of the biggest televised broadcasts of the year – Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve. “Austin (Boots Stopped Workin’)” went on to become one of the most-streamed country songs in 2024 and won the People’s Choice Country Awards for Female Song. Next up, she embarks on tour with Thomas Rhett and Kane Brown with additional headline dates as well. A full routing can be found below.

Abel Selaocoe Announces Debut Concerto ‘Four Spirits’ Out August 15 With Aurora Orchestra
South African cellist, composer, and vocalist Abel Selaocoe will release his first concerto, Four Spirits, on Warner Classics on August 15 2025. The recording captures a landmark live performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall with the Aurora Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Collon, orchestrated by Benjamin Woodgates, and featuring percussionist Bernhard Schimpelsberger. Selaocoe will bring Four Spirits to life once again in a live performance at the Edinburgh International Festival on 18 August 2025, marking another major milestone in his growing international career.
Celebrated for his genre-defying artistry, Selaocoe has captivated audiences around the world with a unique blend of virtuosic cello playing, powerful vocals, and compelling storytelling. His critically acclaimed album Hymns of Bantu topped the UK’s Official Classical Chart earlier this year and was praised by The Guardian as “a joyous and indivisible blend of styles” and by BBC Music Magazine as “an utter delight of an album.”
Commissioned by BBC Radio 3, Seattle Symphony and Philharmonie Zuidnederland and first performed by Selaocoe and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra conducted by Taavi Oramo on March 23 2023 at City Halls, Glasgow, Four Spirits reframes the concerto format through a rich tapestry of musical influences rooted in Selaocoe’s South African heritage. Singing in Sotho and Zulu, he interweaves ancestral melodies, improvisation, and rhythmic cello techniques in a deeply personal narrative.
Each movement of Four Spirits draws inspiration from aspects of township life. The first movement, MaSebego (“Traditional Healer”), celebrates how traditional healers today can bridge the gap between our ancestors and the modern world. The second movement, Bana (“Children”), reflects on the wisdom and humour of children, whilst Tshepo (“Faith”), explores the universal power of prayer beyond religion. Simunye (“We Are One) closes the work with a celebration of community and gathering, with Selaocoe inviting the audience to join him in a communal singing chant.
Each movement of Four Spirits draws inspiration from the rhythms and rituals of township life. The first movement, MaSebego (“Traditional Healer”), honours the role of traditional healers as a vital bridge between ancestral wisdom and the modern world. The second, Bana (“Children”), captures the humour and deep wisdom found in childhood. Tshepo (“Faith”) reflects on the universal power of prayer beyond religion. Finally, Simunye(“We Are One”) brings the work to a close, celebrating unity and communal spirit as Selaocoe invites the audience to join in a shared chant of song.
Four Spirits is released on CD, vinyl and digitally on August 15th 2025 on Warner Classics. CD and digital release includes a bonus live version of Tsohle Tsohle, originally featured on Hymns of Bantu.
Tracklist
- I. MaSebego
- II. Bana
- III. Tshepo
- IV. Simunye – Uthando

Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 Album Certified 9x Platinum And Celebrated With Dolby Atmos And High-Fidelity Vinyl Reissue
On the 50th anniversary of its original release, the self-titled has been certified 9x platinum by the RIAA. In celebration, Rhino announces two new premium audio editions of Fleetwood Mac, the 1975 album that ushered in a new era for the band. On August 8, the album will debut in Dolby Atmos and arrive on vinyl as part of the Rhino High Fidelity series of high-end reissues.
The Blu-ray Audio edition features a new Dolby ATMOS mix by Chris James, delivering a fully immersive experience of this classic album. It also includes a 5.1 surround mix by original producer Ken Caillat and Claus Trelby.
Fleetwood Mac (Rhino High Fidelity) was mastered by Kevin Gray, cut directly from the original analog master tapes, and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal. Available exclusively at Rhino.com and internationally at select WMG stores, the album is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies. A special version (limited to 2,000 copies) will also be available that includes two replica 7-inch singles featuring the single mixes of “Over My Head” b/w “Rhiannon” and “Say You Love Me” b/w “Blue Letter.” Pre-order HERE.
Released on July 11, 1975, Fleetwood Mac was the band’s tenth studio album and the second named after the group, sharing its title with their 1968 debut. Often referred to by fans as ‘The White Album,’ it also introduced Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks into the group’s core lineup, joining Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie. The chemistry between the five was immediate—and transformative. The album’s sound marked a break from the band’s blues-based roots, pivoting toward a melodic, harmony-rich approach that would come to define a generation of FM radio.
Christine McVie’s “Over My Head” was the first single from the album and the band’s first U.S. Top 20 hit. It was followed by “Rhiannon,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Landslide,” tracks that remain among the most beloved in the band’s catalog. While initial momentum was modest, the album gained traction through constant touring and word of mouth. Fifteen months after its release, Fleetwood Mac reached #1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over 7 million copies in the U.S. alone.
In the new liner notes by acclaimed music journalist Anthony DeCurtis, Buckingham recalls the energy surrounding that period: “I think we all felt that we had grabbed ahold of something and that it was going to take us wherever it was going to take us.” He adds, “It was a great sign that we were destined for something.”

Mahalia Commands The Dancefloor With Empowering New Single “Instructions” And Joyous Visual Directed By Douglas Reddan
Mahalia drops infectious banger “Instructions”, the self-assured bop is inviting and demands its listener to move. A declaration of desire, “Instructions” is high energy and assertive. It captures the camaraderie and spirit of an unforgettable summer’s night. With soaring verses and a marching chorus, Mahalia’s vocals are effortless on this latest offering.
Alongside the new single comes a fun and energetic visual. Directed by Douglas Reddan, the video has a warm and palpable energy imbued by the lighting, chorus of partygoers and set choice. Featuring bold colours and a playful use of foreground. Varying angles and unusual perspectives further reinforce the infectious energy.
Mahalia explains the meaning behind “Instructions”: “I’ve been dancing a lot recently – just honestly enjoying the romance of a really GREAT night out. Instructions is everything I feel on those evenings put into song. I always wanted to make a record that told people exactly what to do and this I finally have it! I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.”
“Instructions” follows on from “Different Type Of Love” featuring Masicka, a twinkling track that channelled the likes of Brandy and Monica.
There’s a gentle, delicious power in Mahalia’s new Luvergirl era of music, which might seem unlikely given the subject matter. “It feels like the era of girls just taking back a bit of our fucking control, you know, not being slut-shamed, not being taken the piss out of, not being told that we can’t do,” says Mahalia, “It’s not that I’m talking about all those issues in the music, but that’s where I was at when I was creating it. And it’s funny because in all the songs, really and truly, it’s me telling these men what to do in a sense.”
Fun, hot and even a little dangerous, Mahalia is back, channelling her Jamaican heritage and lavishing in this latest era of being a luvergirl, sounding self-assured and glorious. “Even in the moments where I may seem like I’m out of control? I’m still in control.”
Last month, Mahalia headlined the Friday night of the Little Simz’s curated Meltdown Festival at Southbank Centre. Earlier this year, she performed at GQ’s annual Music & Style dinner in collaboration with Louboutin, performing in front of the icons Janet Jackson & Christian Louboutin. On top of her own music she continues to shine a light on new talent with the perpetually sold-out Mahalia Presents shows.
With this latest release, Mahalia steps into a fresh chapter. Renowned for her ability to translate the ups and downs of romance into heartfelt music, she’s now embracing a lighter, more playful approach to love. “I love love,” she says. “But recently, I’ve been leaning into the fun, unserious side of it. The world is so heavy right now—I want my music to be a space where people can find joy and playfulness.”
Over her remarkable 12-year career, Mahalia has earned accolades such as three MOBO Awards, four BRIT nominations, and a Grammy nomination. With a co-sign from Ed Sheeran, appearances alongside Adele, and a track record of standout releases, she’s channeling her experience into this joyous new phase. “Instructions” joins ‘Different Type Of Love” and ’Pressure Points’ in the latest wave of music, promising even more music to celebrate life, love, and everything in between.
Goo Goo Dolls Drop New Single “Nothing Lasts Forever” And Announce Summer Anthem Tour With Dashboard Confessional
“Nothing Lasts Forever,” the stirring new single from GRAMMY-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls, premieres today via Warner Records alongside an accompanying video. Written by John Rzeznik and produced by Gregg Wattenberg (John Legend, Santana, Noah Kahan) and Grant Michaels (Weezer, Billy Idol, Jewel), the reflective, groove-heavy track blends warm synth textures with emotive vocals, capturing a sense of fleeting nostalgia.
Directed by Kat White and shot in Los Angeles, the enhancing music video explores the fleeting nature of our lives through the intimate microcosm of passing strangers, epitomising the realization that nothing lasts forever.
“It always feels good to share new music, and ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ came from a place of accepting change and letting go,” says Rzeznik. The song is a reminder that everything moves, everything shifts, and that’s part of life. We’re also grateful to put this out ahead of our Summer Anthem Tour so fans can experience it with us live.”
On the heels of an electrifying performance at Stagecoach, the band is set to take their lauded live show back on the road this summer with an extensive run of tour dates with Dashboard Confessional. Kicking off on July 13, the Summer Anthem Tour will bring the band to iconic venues coast-to-coast, including stops at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, Morrison’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Wantagh’s Northwell at Jones Beach Theater, Holmdel’s PNC Bank Arts Center, Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion as well as a hometown show at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center. Full tour routing can be found below while tickets can be purchased at googoodolls.com/tour.
Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in Buffalo, NY during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered 4x GRAMMY-nominations and nearly a dozen platinum and gold singles combined and seized a page in the history books by achieving 15 #1 and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.”
On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the band’s 4x GRAMMY-nominated track “Iris” is now Certified Diamond and reached a new global streaming peak, amassing over 4.6 billion streams worldwide. The global hit continues to reach new audiences around the world and has been covered by the likes of Taylor Swift, Machine Gun Kelly, Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers, yet again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
Thus far, A Boy Named Goo (1995) has gone 2x Certified Platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl (1998) 5x Certified Platinum and Gutterflower (2002) and Let Love In (2006) are both Certified Gold. In addition, Something for the Rest of Us (2010) and Magnetic (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200.

Pino Palladino And Blake Mills Announce New Album ‘That Wasn’t A Dream’ With Single “Taka” And Fall Tour Dates
Today, bassist Pino Palladino and guitarist Blake Mills announce That Wasn’t A Dream, a new album out August 22 on New Deal / Impulse! Records – with a new track + video for “Taka.”
That Wasn’t A Dream is a statement of intent from two singular musicians. The Grammy-winning Palladino has reshaped what bass can be in popular music, performing with everyone from D’Angelo to Nine Inch Nails, from Erykah Badu to John Mayer. Meanwhile, Grammy-winner and two-time Producer of the Year-nominee Mills is one of today’s most sought-after producers and multi-instrumentalists, known for his work with Alabama Shakes, Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, and Perfume Genius as well as his own acclaimed solo albums.
Pitchfork described the duo’s 2021 debut Notes With Attachments as “the sound of consummate collaborators imagining a world where there’s no such thing as a lead performer.” On That Wasn’t A Dream, they further dissolve any sense of hierarchy, imbuing their spontaneous compositions with an organic, precisely balanced inner logic. It’s quietly audacious, a radical application of their ever-evolving musical chemistry.
To accompany the album announcement, they’ve shared the video for lead single “Taka,” a progression of instrumental athletics and generous melodic gestures that builds towards an almost kaleidoscopic funk.
That Wasn’t a Dream was recorded over a two-month period in the legendary Studio A at Sound City Studios, the room Mills has helmed since 2018. These sessions pulled in collaborators old and new, most notably Sam Gendel, who performed throughout Notes With Attachments and contributed finishing touches for nearly every track on That Wasn’t a Dream. Though ultimately, this record feels like a deepening of the core relationship between Palladino and Mills.
If Notes With Attachments was about creating cohesion out of layered spontaneity, That Wasn’t a Dream finds coherence through restraint. As Palladino explains, some of the compositions grew from harmonically dense ideas that were later reduced to the barest essentials. “It came to light, really, that if we could make something work with the least possible ingredients, space could become the centerpiece,” says Palladino.
It was also a chance to innovate; one early Palladino sketch, “What Is Wrong With You?,” was Mills’s first opportunity to experiment with the prototype of a new instrument, the fretless baritone sustainer guitar, which Mills helped luthier Duncan Price to develop in 2021, and has since been used on numerous productions, as well as live performances with Joni Mitchell.
“The fretless sustainer can sound almost like a cross between a woodwind, brass, and bowed string instrument,” says Mills. “It’s a tough instrument to control or define.” That undefinable sound, along with a playful approach to minimalism, set the tone for the rest of the album’s writing and recording sessions that would take place almost three years later.
As a result, the music on That Wasn’t A Dream goes from being deceptively intimate to beautifully disordered. It’s music that rewards close listening: subversive but naturalistic, harnessing chaos with intention, unveiling new forms of beauty all along the way.
Mills and Palladino will support That Wasn’t A Dream with live dates throughout the fall — see the full itinerary listed below.

Jon Batiste Announces New Album ‘BIG MONEY’ With Title Track And Tour Following Grammy Wins And Super Bowl Spotlight
Multi-GRAMMY and Academy Award winner Jon Batiste today announced his new album BIG MONEY, out August 22 via Verve/Interscope. Alongside the announcement, Batiste released the album’s title track and official music video—available now.
Described by The Guardian as “a certified musical genius,” Batiste continues to defy categorization with BIG MONEY—a bold, groove-driven statement about humanity, capitalism, and Americana. Stripping things down to their most essential elements, the album delivers a richly textured sound layered with spirit, irony, joy, and depth. Written and recorded mostly live in single takes over the course of just two weeks, BIG MONEY captures the raw immediacy of creative expression. The emphasis on collective energy and spontaneity draws on the roots of American music as a communal force—and offers an antidote to modern disconnection.
At the heart of the album is its title track—a percussive, hook-laden anthem sparked by a moment of inspiration following Batiste’s 2024 performance at The Ryman Auditorium. He wrote the song on guitar before he even knew he was making a new album. On the surface, it’s an infectious call for ambition. Beneath the rhythm, it’s a layered meditation on capitalism, survival, and what we choose to value.
“This is the circus of love. Under our tent there is revival and joy,” Batiste says. “You don’t lose your soul—you gain it. When Mama says, ‘Don’t be a dummy, everybody chasing that BIG MONEY,’ Mama is pushing you—while warning you. It cuts both ways.”
The track, anchored by Batiste’s guitar and retro-soul revivalist Nick Waterhouse, is brought to life by the soaring vocals of The Womack Sisters—a rising trio and granddaughters of soul legend Sam Cooke—who echo the refrain: “Might as well live for something you can feel…something that’s real.”
Batiste co-produced the album with longtime creative confidant Dion “No ID” Wilson. Other collaborators include Andra Day, Randy Newman, and a tight-knit group of musicians, songwriters, and engineers. Rather than aiming for polish, the sessions prioritized feel and presence—capturing performances in real time and preserving their imperfections as part of the record’s spiritual DNA.
Anchored by lyricism, heart, and the power of collaboration, BIG MONEY reframes and recasts Americana for a new generation—drawing on Batiste’s New Orleans roots, his gospel and protest music lineage, and his love of raw, immediate expression. The sonic palette spans blues, soul, reggae, and minimalist balladry, daring to classify them all as part of a new, evolving genre: New Americana.
Variety has called Batiste “a protean pianist and megawatt personality”—a description embodied here as he dances between styles and philosophies without losing cohesion. Each track builds on the last to create a unified vision of music as both resistance and release.
“However you interpret the songs,” Batiste says, “you can’t help feeling them. You can’t help accepting an invitation into the tent. Come in and have fun…some deeply serious fun.”
Earlier this year, Batiste made headlines for his powerful performance of the National Anthem at the 2025 Super Bowl, which brought his singular artistry to one of America’s most-watched stages. He also took home two GRAMMY Awards—Best Music Film for the critically acclaimed Netflix documentary American Symphony, and Best Song Written for Visual Media for “It Never Went Away,” the Oscar-nominated track he co-wrote with Dan Wilson for the film.
BIG MONEY follows Beethoven Blues, released November 15 via Verve/Interscope. The album marked Batiste’s biggest sales week to date, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Classical Albums chart and No. 9 on the Top Album Sales chart. It also entered the Billboard 200 at No. 64—his highest debut on the chart and his fifth career entry. Beethoven Blues held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Classical Crossover Albums chart for nine consecutive weeks and topped the Billboard Classical Albums chart for five weeks. Showcasing his interpolations of Beethoven’s most iconic works through an expansive and innovative lens, the album expands the boundaries of classical music by infusing it with spontaneity, soul, and inclusivity.
Batiste will support BIG MONEY with a national headlining run, The BIG MONEY Tour: Jon Batiste Plays America, kicking off August 27 in Kansas City, MO. The tour will stop at more than 30 venues across the country, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Grand Ole Opry, and a co-headline date with Diana Ross at The Muny in St. Louis, MO.
