#TOURINGNEWS - T.G. SHEPPARD ANNOUNCES 'PARTY TIME TOUR' IN CELEBRATION OF 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF SIGNATURE SONG

Country Hitmaker Adds New Dates for 2017 Tour

T.G. Sheppard is excited to bring the party from city to city nationwide, as the 21-time chart topper announces the first wave of shows for his ‘Party Time Tour.’ The announcement comes on the heels of the country legend’s 35th anniversary of releasing the signature anthem “Party Time,” which topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. “Party Time” was one of the most requested songs of 1981, and was featured on the album I Love ‘Em All. So far, 2017 is shaping up to become another banner year for Sheppard, as he enters his 42nd year of performing. The tour’s momentum continues into 2017 with additional dates being added weekly (learn more HERE).

“I’m so amazed now more than ever being on the road looking out into the audiences night after night, and seeing fans sing along to my music,” said Sheppard. “It’s always great to be able to look out and see familiar faces that have followed our music, while also seeing a whole new generation of traditional country music fans.”

In addition to “Party Time,” the country chart legend will perform a set list full of No. 1 hits. Standards like “I Loved ‘Em Every One,” “Do You Wanna Go the Heaven” and “Last Cheater’s Waltz” will remind fans of the music that they once fell in love with, while creating new ones along the way. In an effort to show that traditional country music is back and more popular than ever, Sheppard will bring a lively, energetic show that will have all of the fans on their feet.

Sheppard has been generating significant buzz with the release of his latest critically-acclaimed project, Legendary Friends & Country Duets. The star-studded project featured collaborations with some of the genre’s most iconic legends including George Jones, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Oak Ridge Boys, Crystal Gayle, Lorrie Morgan and many more. The project was met with high praise, with The Boot saying that "T.G. Sheppard’s latest album is timeless and transcends generations.”
