Kristian Bush, Rita Wilson Announce Co-Headlining Tour
Longtime pals Kristian Bush and Rita Wilson have announced a co-headlining Summer tour.
The 8-date trek will kick off on June 5 at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, and is scheduled to come to a close on June 19 at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall in Munhall, Pennsylvania.
Wilson, who released her 11-track album, Halfway To Home earlier this year, took inspiration from her experience with breast-cancer to pen the hit song, "Throw Me A Party" from the same album.
"I got scared and I said to my husband (Tom Hanks) that, 'Look, if something happened to me and I should go before you, please be sad for a very long time, but first, I want a party. I want to have a celebration.' So I had this title, 'Throw Me a Party,'" she shared with "Taste of Country Nights."
Meanwhile, Bush, who is also one-half of country duo Sugarland, is gearing up to release a solo LP later this Summer.
Tour Dates:
June 5 - Atlanta, GA @ Center Stage Theater June 9 - Nashville, TN @ City Winery Nashville June 11 - Washington, DC @ City Winery DC June 12 - New York, NY @ City Winery New York June 14 - Huntington, NY @ The Paramount June 15 - Montclair, NJ @ The Welmont Theater June 17 - Boston, MA @ City Winery Boston June 19 - Munhall, PA @ Carnegie of HomesteadMusic Hall

Brett Young Calls Touring With Kelsea Ballerini A 'No Brainer'
Brett Young, who is currently on the Miss Me More Tour with Kelsea Ballerini, has said touring with the country music star was a "no brainer" for him.
Young, who had previously joined Kelsea on the You Look Good Tour in 2017 with Lady Antebellum, says, "It was one of the most fun summers of my life. And so when the opportunity came up to do this tour with (Kelsea) and kind of share audiences and get back together again, I mean, it was a no brainer for me."
"I'm such a big fan of Kelsea, and not only her artistry but her songwriting and everything that she's doing. And we're excited to do it again," he added in an interview with his record label, Big Machine Label Group.
The 14-day trek, which kicked off on April 11 in Maryland, concludes with a show in North Dakota on May 11. The tour includes a stop in Kelsea's hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.
