TYLER FARR ON THE HIGHER EDUCATION TOUR

Additional Tour Dates Announced

Nashville, TN (March 11, 2011) – Country music newcomer Tyler Farr has been announced as the opening act for the highly anticipated Higher Education Tour that kicked off with a sold-out show last night in Columbia, MO.  He will join the previously announced co-headliners, 3-time ACM Award nominee Lee Brice and Sea Gayle/Arista Nashville chart-topper Jerrod Niemann, as they visit college markets around the country.

Farr has been writing for publishing powerhouse SonyATV/Monument Publishing this past year as well as touring with Colt Ford.  Farr grew up hunting and fishing in a small town in Missouri, which provided the inspiration for his songs like “That’s What They’re Bitin’ On” and “Camouflage,” the title track to his digital EP, available now.  Be sure to keep an eye out for more exciting Tyler Farr announcements coming soon.

“Tyler is a good friend, an extremely talented singer-songwriter and one hell of a good time,” explains Lee Brice, “I can’t wait to get him out on the road and show our fans!”
