Michael Ray Celebrates Summer With New Single, Headline Tour

June 4, 2024/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Michael Ray will launch his new headlining “Drink With Our Friends Tour” this summer, named after his new single celebrating the spirit of community and the joy of a well-deserved break after a hard day’s work.

The coast-to-coast tour kicks off June 14 in Oklahoma and includes shows in Denver, Albuquerque, Grand Junction and more, with a Nashville show on July 23.

Ray and producer Michael Knox brewed up “Drink With Friends,” the high-energy anthem that encapsulates the spirit of small-town America and is a testament to those who work hard but always find a way to save a little something for the weekend.

“‘Drink with Our Friends’ is for all y’all hard-working people who put in the overtime all week so you can cut loose with your friends on the weekend,” says Ray. “I can’t wait to take it on the road and feel the energy of the crowds singing it back to us.”

Garnering over 1.5 billion global streams, more than 650,000 album equivalents and upwards of 150 million YouTube views, Ray has also performed at the Grand Ole Opry 73 times and achieved four No. 1 hits.
