The tour comes on the heels of The Cadillac Black’s lead vocalist Jaren Johnston producing Dierks’ four-song summer EP titled Country & Cold Cans, available August 21 on iTunes.
“I’m so
excited to have had the chance to produce the EP. Dierks and his band
have such a great vibe and play so well together,” shares Jaren. “Dierks
asked me if we could get some of that ‘dirt’ we put on our music and I
said, ‘well, hell yeah!’ I’m super stoked on how it turned out and I
think country music fans are in for a treat. Y’all get ready for a
party!”

The Cadillac
Black have emerged with a sound all of their own, a sound that hovers
between radio-ready country anthems, hard-and-heavy rock and traditional
Southern folk. You could call it country fuzz, you could call it
hipster-billy, you could call it any number of over-hyphenated,
adjective-strewn things but when you boil it all down there’s only one
way to describe it: damn good music, as pure and refreshing as a country
creek.

While The
Cadillac Black might be a brand new band, native Nashvillians Jaren
Johnston (guitar), Neil Mason (drums) and Kelby Ray (lap steel) have
been friends and musical co-conspirators for as long as anyone can
remember. They’ve weathered their wild teenage years and even wilder
tours, weathered major label letdowns and major league triumphs,
conquered Music Row – Johnston co-wrote Keith Urban’s #1 single “You
Gonna Fly,” earned a nomination for Music Row Magazine’s 2012
Breakthrough Songwriter Of The Year. Their music has been featured on
the CW’s Vampire Diaries and Hart of Dixie, CBS’ CSI Miami, VH1’s Baseball Wives, and the 2011 trailer for FOX’s House.
