CMT on Tour Hits the Road With Hitmakers Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser. After years of writing songs together, longtime friends Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser join forces on the road as headliners of CMT's eighth annual tour coming to the Centre on Saturday, December 19 at 8:00pm.
'This tour is about 50 combined years in the making,' said Houser. 'I've been playing on the road since I was 15. Jamey and I both have been picking these guitars as long as we've been able to hold 'em. This is a chance to show the rest of the world how far we've come. 'Johnson could be basking in his songwriting accolades, but he remains a restlessly creative maverick. Since the release of his critically acclaimed Mercury Records debut, That Lonesome Song, he has been featured in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and the Los Angeles Times.
2009 is proving to be a banner year for Johnson. He garnered three Grammy nominations, his hit single, 'In Color,' won song of the year honors at the ACM awards and That Lonesome Song went on to become Johnson's first gold album.
The Los Angeles Times says Universal South's Houser is adding 'grit to the genre' on his exceptional debut album Anything Goes, which has positioned the Mississippi-born, soul-drenched country singer and songwriter to become one of the next big artists to emerge in the genre. As a recording artist and live performer, Houser has quickly earned a reputation for having one of the strongest voices in Nashville and is the only new male artist that has reached Top 10 since February 2008.
