Aaron Watson is returning to the road following a period of vocal rest due to a granuloma in his throat that left him unable to sing and sidelined from touring since mid-April.
In over 20 years, Watson has never before been forced to cancel a string of shows, but he persevered in the face of adversity as this occurred during the release of his latest album, Unwanted Man.
“It was definitely a frustrating and scary time, especially in the beginning not knowing what was going on with my voice, but that something was definitely wrong,” Watson shares. “I’m so grateful to have had the best care and prayers from the best fans to get me through these past few months.”
He adds, “I’m really excited to be back out on the road, playing music with the band and seeing all the fans. It feels really great to be on stage again and I’m looking forward to all the dates we have coming up performing across the country.”
Kicking off July 28 in Colorado Springs, Watson will visit cities in Texas, Virginia Beach, Tulsa, Boise, Salt Lake City and more through Dec. 2. The singer-songwriter has a Nashville show set at Brooklyn Bowl on Aug. 26.
