Jamey Johnson will return to the road on his “What A View Tour,” starting June 20, with supporting acts Charles Wesley Godwin, Whitey Morgan, Ben Haggard, Drake White and Southall.
While he spent the better part of more than two decades touring, Johnson took a break last year to focus on songwriting. The name of the new tour is taken from one of the songs written during that time.
“‘What A View’ is the song that brought me back into writing songs,” he reveals. “It is the one that kicked off the desire to make new music. You can expect to hear more new music in our shows from now on. It will be fun. We will do a lot of the old stuff and a lot of the new stuff.”
The “What A View Tour ” kicks off in St. Augustine and stops in nearly 40 cities including Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Columbus, Tupelo, Kansas City and more. Tickets and VIP packages go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 19). A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Johnson’s Give It Away Foundation. For more information, click here.
Johnson’s credits include songs recorded by George Strait, Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson, James Otto and Joe Nichols, among others. His album That Lonesome Song was certified Platinum, and his double album, The Guitar Song, was certified Gold. Johnson has also won two Song of the Year honors from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.
