Nashville, TN (October 22, 2014) – Warner Bros. Records’
Frankie Ballard
kicked off his energetic LIGHT ‘EM UP TOUR on Thursday, October 16th at
the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MN. As part of the exclusive Live
Nation
Ones To Watch tour with Skype, the run serves as the
“Sunshine & Whiskey” singer’s first headlining trek, with stops in
19-cities between now and December.
To kick off the dynamic tour, Ballard teamed up with the brand new Live
Nation Channel and Yahoo Screen, which is an exclusive live music
channel that can deliver one exclusive convert live stream a day, and
has featured popular artists such as Lady Antebellum and Dave Matthews
Band.
He will continue his LIGHT ‘EM UP TOUR this weekend, with stops in Louisville, KY (10/24) and Indianapolis, IN (10/25).
Known for his energetic live shows, Ballard will amp it up even further
on the Florida Georgia Line 2015 ANYTHING GOES tour. He has also landed
coveted opening slots for Jake Owen, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney,
Taylor Swift and longtime idol Bob Seger.
Since releasing his first #1, GOLD-certified smash “Helluva Life,”
Ballard has lit up the country music scene. The Battle Creek, MI, native
continues the hot streak with his follow-up infectious anthem “Sunshine
& Whiskey,” which has sold over 460,000 copies to date. Currently
Top 10 at Country radio, the tune is quickly approaching the top of the
chart. Both songs are featured on his latest album, SUNSHINE & WHISKEY, which debuted in the Top 5 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart, and ROLLING STONE noted as “required listening.” Produced
by Marshall Altman (Marc Broussard), the project captures the
newcomer’s unique blend of blues-infused, country rock and his
undeniable guitar prowess on every song.
