Ashley Cooke has announced a special acoustic pop-up tour this month, “the cities that made me tour,” celebrating the release of her new self-titled sophomore album.

For a week, Cooke will criss-cross the country for a series of intimate shows in towns that were formative to her upbringing and adulthood. In addition to an acoustic performance of songs from the new album, the events will feature fan meet-and-greets and exclusive merch. Fans can RSVP here.

Everything kicks off at home in Nashville on Aug. 14, the release day of ashley cooke. From there, “the cities that made me tour” will continue on to Milwaukee, Cooke’s birthplace, before visiting Pleasanton and Studio City, representing Cooke’s youth in California, then Sarasota and Parkland from later stints in Florida. The shows wrap by going all the way back to West Lafayette, Indiana, where her parents first met.

“This album was built on the memories and moments that shaped me into who I am, and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend release week than taking a trip down memory lane with you,” Cooke shared on socials. “each of these cities have impacted my life growing up in different eras and are truly the fabric of my tapestry so far – I want you guys to become part of it.”

Last month, Cooke offered the latest preview of her sophomore album with “famous to frances” and “johnny ‘n june,” produced by Dann Huff. After “the cities that made me tour” concludes, Cooke will embark on her “the baby blues world tour” global headlining run launching Sept. 17 at Globe Iron in Cleveland.
