Chase Rice heads Way Down Yonder for 2023 tour

New album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, set for release Feb 10th

With his just-announced album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell set to showcase the results of a year off the road spent reconnecting with his passions both musically and personally, multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Chase Rice is ready to bring that sonic return to his roots to fans across the country this spring on the Way Down Yonder Tour.

“I focused on ‘What can I put out that makes me come to life?’,” Rice shared recently with PopCulture of the new music he will debut on this tour. “Because if I come to life when I’m on the stage and up there singing songs that I’m passionate about and love, man, people are gonna love them that much more… I’m at the place in my life now where I just want people to know who I really am as opposed to who they think I am. I think this record’s a good start.”

Kicking off March 3rd in Laughlin, NV, the headlining run presented by Coors Banquet spans 23 dates across the US including iconic theaters such as Nashville Ryman Auditorium, Boston’s House of Blues and Athens’ Georgia Theatre, concluding April 29th in Rice’s birthplace of Daytona, FL. Joining as special guests across varying dates are Avery Anna, Tyler Braden, Ashland Craft, Dalton Dover, Kameron Marlowe, Read Southall Band and Conner Smith.

Tickets to all dates go on sale this Thursday, December 15th at 10 am local time via ChaseRice.com, with pre-sales beginning Tuesday, December 13th at 10 am local time.

The tour earns its name from Rice’s latest release off the forthcoming album, outlaw anthem “Way Down Yonder,” available everywhere now along with an accompanying Wild West-style music video. Written by Rice together with Hunter Phelps, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass and Corey Crowder during a writing retreat in Florida that also produced recent release “Key West & Colorado,” the song paints a vivid picture of hardworking characters living beyond the confines of the law.

“Way Down Yonder” was recorded along with the rest of the forthcoming album during a two-week period at Rice’s farm outside Nashville, with producer Oscar Charles using makeshift recording environment to capture a pure, raw style unlike any of his previous studio projects.
