The Doctors Are In
Big & Rich and The Warren Brothers will be supporting on the trek, which kicks off June 11 in Virginia Beach, Va., and spans more than 30 dates. The current itinerary runs through August 1, with McGraw making an additional appearance August 6 at the WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn.
Prior to the tour’s launch, McGraw will headline an April 10 benefit with Billy Bob Thornton in Austin, Texas. The concert will raise money for the non-profit Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Organization, which provides resources and support for injured high school football players and their families.
McGraw last toured in the spring of 2003, performing two months’ worth of extended-length concerts in support of his album Tim McGraw and The Dancehall Doctors. For that disc, he eschewed the standard Nashville session-musician formula in favor of using his longtime touring band in the studio.
