Katie Armiger is getting ready to head out on her 26-city “Get Smart” tour this year. The rising star is one of country music’s brightest independent artists and she’ll kick off the tour on March 23rd in West Hartford, CT. The tour is proudly sponsored by Great American Country (GAC) which brings country music to 62 million homes across the United States. Katie’s latest single “Scream” from her third studio album “Confessions Of A Nice Girl” is climbing the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and the video is in the fan-voted GAC Top 20 Countdown for the fifth week in a row.
GAC is pretty excited about this partnership with Katie:
“We’ve watched Katie grow up before our eyes and through her videos on GAC,” said GAC President Ed Hardy. “We are thrilled to be part of her first national tour and look forward to sharing in her ongoing successes as her career progresses. GAC is proud to help new artists, such as Katie was, have a national TV platform on GAC to help grow their careers.”
Katie had given her fans the power to choose the name of her tour through social media. It’s her first headlining tour in the United States, and she’ll make stops at colleges, universities, and major fairs and festivals across the country. The tour will go on through to August of this year and Katie will be with a full band and will perform some of her fan favorite songs including “Scream,” “Kiss Me Now,” “Leaving Home, “Best Song Ever,” and “I Do, But Do I?” as well as new material from her new album. She spent much of last year touring with Darius Rucker, Ronnie Dunn, Little Big Town, Kellie Pickler and Luke Bryan.
“It’s every artist’s dream to headline their own tour and to be able to do so with GAC’s support is amazing – I am so grateful to them for supporting my career,” said Katie. “I chose “Get Smart” for the obvious reason of where we are performing but also as a bit of tongue-in-cheek because I do plan to soak everything in and learn whatever I can on the road. I cannot wait to get out there.”
