“I’m
really excited about teaming up and touring with Bobby. We’ve been
friends since forever, and our stage shows seem to genuinely compliment
one another. Besides, I love standing in the wings and listening to him
recreate all those great hits of his. You don’t realize how many he’s
had until they start coming at you back-to-back-to-back. This is going
to be fun!” said Whisperin’ Bill Anderson.
“The opportunity to share this tour with one of my friends and
Grand Ole Opry family members is an honor, and the chance to bring our
stories and songs to the stage has brought back so many memories,” said

Bobby Bare was celebrated by Rolling Stone as one of the “50 Greatest
Country Artists of All Time.” Bare released the raw and heart-tugging
video in the summer of 2017 for his latest single, “I Drink,” which
addresses the darkness of alcoholism. Commemorating his Diamond
Anniversary and celebrating 60 years as an artist in the music industry,
HbarC Western Wear has created the specialized “Bobby Bare Signature
Series” custom shirt line. The anniversary also prompted the limited
edition pressed vinyl album of Things Change which was released
on record store day. On his 83rd birthday during his performance at the
Grand Ole Opry, Garth Brooks surprised him with a “Welcome Home,”
announcing his membership to the Opry family was re-activated.

Grand Ole Opry member for more than 50 years and a member of the Country

the age of 40, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of

Swift. In 2002, he was the first recipient of the prestigious BMI Icon
Award. UNPRECEDENTED not only as a songwriter, but also a radio and
television host, Anderson has starred on “ABC’s The Better Sex,”
