CURRENT SINGLE: “Country Again”
Thomas Rhett just wrapped up a two-weekend, five show residency at Billy Bob’s Texas, and to say he was elated to be back on stage is an understatement. He told the crowd on the first night, “It’s been 572 days since our last live concert, and this is a very intoxicating feeling to get to play music in front of people.”
Thomas played his last tour date on October 12, 2019, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and he says, “I honestly didn’t know when we were gonna play shows again. And when Billy Bob’s came to us and asked if we wanted to do a few nights, I was like, 100%. I mean at this point in time, I think I would go play anywhere. I would go play somebody’s backyard, I’d go play at my high school’s cafeteria. I just love sitting and playing guitar for people.”
At this point, Thomas says he’d be hard pressed to turn down any opportunity to play live that was safe and made sense for his career. Fortunately, his rescheduled Center Point Road Tour will kick off in three months, and TR says, “I can’t wait to sit down and come up with a set list that includes, just a bunch of my favorite songs from my past records and also get to play a lot of this new record. I’m really excited to get back into, just the process of rehearsing, gettin’ my voice back in shape and kind of re-learning what it means to entertain a crowd and playin’ the music that they want to hear.”
Based on the videos we’ve seen from Thomas’ five shows at Billy Bob’s Texas, he hasn’t missed a beat when it comes to understanding how to entertain a crowd.

Any opportunity that raises its hand, that’s something that we can do safely and efficiently, it’s kind of an absolute yes at this point.
