Rebooting ‘The Last Rodeo’

When we last joined the country team of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn, the farewell tour known as “The Last Rodeo” had hit an unexpected snag when a doctor ordered Dunn to get immediate vocal rest, causing several dates to be postponed. But that was last week.

This week, most of the missed dates have been rescheduled, with only a few festival appearances, like Milwaukee’s Summerfest, being truly canceled. Plus, there are a few new listings and notes regarding which tour stops will include appearances by Gary Allan, Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert and Merle Haggard.
