The Live Your Voice Tour is a headlining concert tour by country singer Tim McGraw. It is the singer's first solo concert tour in nearly three years. In the two prior years, the singer toured with his wife Faith Hill in the hugely successful Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 and the Soul2Soul 2007 Tour. On the tour, McGraw will be joined by opening acts Jason Aldean and Halfway to Hazard.
[edit] Tour History
The tour was officially announced by Billboard on January 31, 2008. [1] KC Masterpiece and Kingsford are sponsoring the tour. Live Nation is promoting, under Brian O'Connell's direction, and the tour will play primarily LN sheds.
McGraw will play one-off headlining dates at several festivals prior to the tour, including the Houston Livestock & Rodeo on March 3, his debut appearance at the New Orleans Jazz Festival on April 27 and the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, Calif., on May 4.
The multi-tiered KC Masterpiece and Kingsford sponsorship deal was brokered by Laura Hutfless at EchoMusic, Marcie Allen Cardwell, president of MAC Presents, McGraw's manager Scott Siman, marketing manager Charles Mordy at Kingsford, brand manager Eric Carlock at KC Masterpiece, and KC/Kingsford group PR manager Drew McGowan. McGraw's agent is Rod Essig at CAA.
The two brands will present the VIP Pre-Show Party, where McGraw performs a private acoustic set prior to each show. The same was done for the McGraw/Hill tours. Fritos will be the "Official Snack" of the tour and the presenter of the "StyleSonic Stage," which will feature artists chosen by McGraw who will perform prior to the start of each concert, including Lance Miller and Catherine Raney.
As a special promotion, McGraw is making StyleSonic music available for free download to everyone who buys a ticket to the tour this year. More details will be made available on TimMcGraw.com prior to the start of the tour.
