Hey Bartender, Last Call: The Farewell Tour celebrates 40 years of “Sounds Like Love”
Country legend and Urban Cowboy Johnny Lee is embarking on his final tour this week. Lee is heading out on the Hey Bartender, Last Call: The Farewell Tour with dates lined up through the end of the year, including residency dates at the Mickey Gilley Grand Shanghai Theatre in Branson in April, May, September, October and December.
Lee is known for his dynamic stage presence and countless hits including, “Hey Bartender,” “One In A Million,” “Pickin’ Up Strangers,” “Prisoner Of Hope,” “Bet Your Heart On Me,” “Cherokee Fiddle,” “Could’ve Heard A Heart Break,” and his No. 1 crossover hit “Lookin’ For Love.” Throughout his career, Lee has achieved 26 Top 20 singles and became an integral part of the Urban Cowboy movement that took the world by storm in the early 80s. Along with the tour announcement, Lee is also celebrating the 40th anniversary of his 1983 Top 10 hit “Sounds Like Love,” which was written by Tommy Rocco and Charlie Black.
“The good Lord has given me a wonderful life and the absolute most loyal fans in the world,” shares Lee. “The music and fans have meant everything to me. Over the last couple of years, Parkinson’s has been a pain in the…butt. This is a big announcement and one I am not making easily. So come on out and join us for a night of music and memories as we kick off the ‘Hey Bartender, Last Call: The Farewell Tour.’ This isn’t the end…this is only the right now.”
Lee recently released his highly anticipated album, Everything’s Gonna’ Be Alright by BFD/Audium Nashville distributed exclusively through The Orchard. The project consists of 14 songs, some written or co-written by Lee, that he has saved throughout the years for the perfect album that truly reflects his life. Each of the tracks showcases a different side of Lee, allowing his listeners to experience a journey that draws on his past, but more importantly highlights the future.
