Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN during CMA Fest on Saturday, June 8.
Fans are invited to an up-close-and-personal set from the
singer/songwriter revealing stories behind brand new songs, while also
delivering the smash hits and fan-favorites that shaped him into the
artist he is today in a rare stripped-down, in-the-round
setting. Longtime fans will recognize the favorite B-stage layout,
inspired by Thomas Rhett’s live show where he shares stories behind the
songs, connecting him to every seat in the house. Tickets are $25 and
include a copy of the upcoming release with proceeds benefiting music
education through the CMA Foundation. Tickets are available beginning
this Monday, May 13 at 10:00A CT for fan club members (via Thomas
Rhett’s Home Team app) and 12:00P CT for general public on ThomasRhett.com or Ticketmaster.com.
“We’ve been able to do album release parties all over the country, but
to host one in my own backyard during CMA Fest when Country Music fans
are here from all over the world is incredible,” said Thomas Rhett.
“Nashville is home to the memories and stories from this album that made
me into the person I am today, and to also be able to help raise money
for Music Education while we celebrate this release makes it extra
special.”
Additionally this week, the “all around star” (Forbes) was nominated for Male Video of The Year for
“Life Changes” at this year’s CMT Music Awards, taking place on June 5
in Nashville. Later this week, Thomas Rhett, “at the top of his musical
game” (Winnipeg Free Press) transitions from
the Canadian leg of his LIFE CHANGES TOUR in Edmonton (5/10) and
Vancouver (5/15) to heating things up stateside on the VERY HOT SUMMER
TOUR beginning May 17 with special guests Dustin Lynch,
Russell Dickerson and Rhett Akins.
The upcoming album’s lead single “Look What God Gave Her” has already
earned the highest chart debut of Thomas Rhett’s career, already pushing
into the Top 10 at Country Radio this week. CENTER POINT ROAD connects
fans to Thomas Rhett’s past, weaving together autobiographical stories
with familiar sounds that have propelled his meteoric career. The
highly-anticipated new music is the follow-up to the PLATINUM-certified
smash LIFE CHANGES, which spawned a 2018 GRAMMY nomination for Best
Country Album and has been streamed more than one billion times,
delivering a slew of RIAA-certified PLATINUM and GOLD chart-toppers,
bringing Thomas Rhett’s No. One tally to 12. Thomas Rhett was named
