Tim McGraw Wraps Australian Tour & Returns for TV Appearances!

Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw and award winning vocalist and wife Faith Hill set out for their first-ever Australian tour together earlier this month. Fans and critics alike have been anticipating their arrival for months and the couple did not disappoint as they performed for sold-out crowds in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and helped set an attendance record at the CMC Rocks the Hunter festival. The whirlwind tour ended with a sold-out show at the Allphones Arena in Sydney with McGraw rocking through a set consisting of only No. one hits and Hill dazzling fans with her breath-taking vocal performance.

“I’ve toured Australia before, and each time it gets better and better,” said McGraw. “We had an awesome time traveling around the country and getting to meet and play for so many fans…they love their country music, and they really showed us a great time.”

Immediately upon his return from Australia, McGraw will head to Las Vegas where he will perform at the 47th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 1 on CBS. He will also make a special appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday, April 4 and will perform on the ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends In Concert airing on Friday, April 13 on CBS.

McGraw will now begin preparations for what is anticipated to be the biggest stadium tour in country music history with old friend Kenny Chesney. The ‘Brothers of the Sun’ Tour will reunite McGraw and Chesney for the first time in 10 years. The 20-city US tour kicks off on June 2 in Tampa and will hit the nation’s biggest stadiums through August.

Mitt Romney Is A Country Music Fan

Mitt Romney

From time to time certain artists use their platform for political reasons.  For some it turns our great and for others *cough* Dixie Chicks *cough* not so good.  Very rarely do we hear from the political parties themselves their interest in the music they love.

Looks to me like one President hopeful is quite the country music fan.  Mitt Romney took to his Twitter account with a link to his Spotify playlist that included tracks like Carrie Underwood’s “All-American Girl,” Toby Keith’s “As Good As I Once Was,” and Keith Urban’s “Somebody Like You.”

He said on Twitter that spending a lot of time on the road campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination means you have to carry good music. Other favorites of his include Willie Nelson’s “Over The Rainbow,” Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “It’s Your Love,” Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” and Clint Black’s cover of the Eagles’ “Desperado.”

President Barack Obama released his own Spotify playlist last month. He likes tunes by Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Montgomery Gentry and two songs each from Sugarland and Darius Rucker.
