Two of Nashville’s biggest players consider reunion tour, Gabby Barrett’s next move | Music City Minute

Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean haven’t toured together in twenty years. Now that they’re both huge country stars, wouldn’t it be fun if they hit the road for another go around? Bentley and Aldean were asked their opinion on the idea and it sounds like if details could get hammered out, the tour would be a go! As for who would open and who would headline the show, the “Somewhere On A Beach” singer said he would happily open for the “Tattoos On This Town” rocker if that’s what it took to get the ball rolling.
Gabby Barrett is currently working on a follow up to her last album “Chapter and Verse,” and she teased new music that’ll be out this summer. Barrett said she is exploring a new chapter of music and her next single will echo her smash hit, “I Hope,” with a little bit of sass. Starting next month, Gabby Barrett will quite literally pack up the entire family and hit the road for a string of summer shows. When asked how she balances motherhood with performing, she admits she couldn’t be out on tour without her family because they keep her grounded.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
