Hailey Whitters will launch her new headlining “Corn Queen Tour” in September in support of her new Corn Queen album.
The tour will kick off Sept. 4 with a performance at The Nashville Palace, followed by shows in Des Moines (in her home state of Iowa), Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago and more through Oct. 11.
To add some fun to the dates, Whitters will host a Corn Court contest at each stop where she’ll crown a Corn Queen & King at every date on the upcoming tour. Each winner will receive a backstage meet-and-greet with Whitters before the show for each winner and one guest, signed merch, a one-of-a-kind “Corn Queen” or “Corn King” sash and of course, a corn crown.
Last week Whitters released a video directed by Beth Brinker for the ethereal “White Limousine,” that tells the story of a small town girl with fantasies of the glitz and glamour of a faraway life. Corn Queen also features collaborations including “I Don’t Want You” with Charles Wesley Godwin, “DanceMor” featuring The Wilder Blue and “Prodigal Daughter” featuring Molly Tuttle.
