Award-winning songwriters Brandy Clark and Lori McKenna are teaming up for a special tour this fall.
“An Evening with Brandy Clark & Lori McKenna” will kick off Sept. 28 and features the two together on stage swapping stories and performing songs from their catalogues as well as material they’ve penned for others.
The trek includes stops in Houston, Dallas, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Boston and more through Oct. 15. Tickets will be available for presale starting tomorrow (July 18), with general sales following this Friday (July 21).
Clark released her self-titled album produced by Brandi Carlile earlier this spring, and will embark on her own extensive headlining tour this fall as well, visiting Chicago, Minneapolis, Nashville, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, among others. In addition to her work as a solo artist, Clark has written songs such as “A Beautiful Noise,” the Grammy-nominated duet performed by Carlile and Alicia Keys, and Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow.”
She also composed the music and lyrics for the new hit Broadway musical comedy, Shucked, alongside her longtime collaborator Shane McAnally. With the show, Clark won Outstanding Music at the 67th Drama Desk Awards. Shucked also earned Tony Award and was nominated for nine total this past year.
McKenna will release her new album, 1988, this Friday. Produced by Dave Cobb, the record is named for the year she married her husband and serves as a love letter to her family and lifelong friends. In celebration of the new music, McKenna will tour this summer with headlining shows at Philadelphia’s World Café Live, New York’s City Winery, Nashville’s CMA Theater, Evanston’s Space and more.
Along with her solo artistry, McKenna has penned songs for Taylor Swift, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, George Strait, Sheryl Crow, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill and Reba McEntire. She also co-wrote “Always Remember Us This Way,” which was featured in the 2018 film A Star Is Born. In the past few years, she has won three Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and two CMA Song of the Year honors in addition to becoming the first female ACM Songwriter of the Year.
