NASHVILLE, TN  – Hit Country singer/songwriter Justin Moore announced today that he will embark on his first headlining tour – Outlaws Like Me. The dates will officially kick off on March 14 in Pikeville, KY with Dustin Lynch and Jon Pardi serving as supporting acts.

Justin, who recently scored his second GOLD-certified album with his self-titled debut, is no stranger to life on the road. Just last year he played to over 1.5 million fans and spent over 200 days on tour. Known for an energetic live show, the Southern stylist has shared the bill with some of Country’s biggest acts – Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Eric Church, among others.

“Man, I’m excited to be headlining our first tour. Over the last few years I have been out with some of the best artists in our genre and I have learned so much from each of them,” said Moore. “I’m ready to take everything they have taught me to build our show. It’s going to be a blast I can’t wait!”

Fans can expect some of their favorites, including Moore’s three #1 hits – “Small Town USA,” “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” and “Til My Last Day” – and a preview of new music for an upcoming album, due out later this year.

About Justin Moore:
Justin Moore’s star has grown significantly since he was named Billboard's “Top New Country Artist of 2009.” The Southern Country stylist has sold over 3.9 million digital downloads to date and his GOLD-certified, sophomore album OUTLAWS LIKE ME hit the #1 spot the week it was released. The project includes the fastest-rising single of Moore’s career, “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” which ascended to the #1 spot, the fan favorite “Bait A Hook” and his first love song, #1 smash “Til My Last Day.”  His debut album scored three consecutive smash singles (the #1 “Small Town USA” as well as the hits “Backwoods” and “How I Got To Be This Way”). He has been profiled by publications from The Washington Post to People Country and Billboard to USA Today. Additionally, his debut was recognized by the New York Times as one of the best albums of 2009. National TV appearances have included The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, NPR, WGN Midday News, FOX, Associated Press and Better TV while his music has been featured on NASHVILLE, Hannity & Colmes and NFL Rewind.

About Dustin Lynch:
Since the release of his debut single, “Cowboys and Angels,” Broken Bow Records’ Dustin Lynch has earned a #1 album, over a million single sales and has surpassed 6 million views on YouTube/ VEVO. He’s soared to #1 on the MTV Music Meter, earned a #1 ringtone on CMT, a Top 5 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs Chart, and a Top 3 Country radio single.  With the release of his self-titled debut album, Lynch became the ONLY new male act to debut at #1 on the Billboard Country Album Chart in 2012.  People magazine declared Dustin Lynch to be “one of the best debuts of 2012.”

Lynch has been lauded as one of Billboard’s “Most Anticipated Debuts of 2012,” People Country’s “Fresh Faces,” Country Weekly’s “Ones to Watch in 2012,” and the only solo male artist on Nashville Lifestyles’ 2012 “Hot List.”  Heavily influenced in his youth by the famed “Class of ‘89” (Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Clint Black), Lynch’s brand of Country is trademarked by his distinctively deep, emotional vocals, and lyrical embodiment of growing up in and people watching in his small hometown of Tullahoma, TN.
Lynch’s new single, the Top 25 double-entendre head turner, “She Cranks My Tractor,” continues to catapult up the Country Radio charts.

About Jon Pardi:
Capitol Records Nashville artist Jon Pardi may be new to the country music scene, but his strikingly original songs and relaxed confidence would suggest otherwise.  His sound is undeniably country — paying homage to some of his musical heroes such as Dwight Yoakam, George Strait and Buck Owens —with his lived-in voice and authentic delivery.  But it’s his carefree musical style combined with his high-energy live show which give this singer-songwriter his own niche in a diverse country landscape.

Pardi has shared the stage with Eric Church, Zac Brown Band, Dierks Bentley, Pat Green, Gary Allan and Luke Bryan.  Pardi’s new single “Up All Night” from his upcoming debut album will be released to Country radio this month.

Theresa Caputo Live!

Star of TLC’s Long Island Medium

 

FOX THEATRE – APRIL 21^st

Tickets go on sale FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8^th AT 10 AM

 

Theresa Caputo, psychic medium and star of the hit TLC show, Long Island Medium, will be appearing live at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on Sunday, April 21^st at 7 pm. Theresa will give interactive readings to audience members throughout the show and will also share personal stories about her life and her unique gifts.

Long Island Medium, which begins its third season on TLC in September, follows Theresa’s life as a typical Long Island wife and mom except for one distinct difference…her ability to communicate with the dead. Since she cannot “turn off” this gift, messages can come through at any time and the local car mechanic, manicurist or cashier at the bagel shop may find themselves receiving a spontaneous reading from Theresa as she goes about her daily life. The show also covers how Theresa copes with the special challenges that her unique abilities create for her husband of 22 years, Larry, and her two children, aged 17 and 21.

 

Theresa has been a practicing medium for 10 years and is a certified medium with the Forever-Family Foundation, an organization dedicated to connecting science with the afterlife. She helps individuals find closure by connecting them with their departed loved ones. For Theresa, this is not just her job... this is her life.
