In less than two weeks, Carly Pearce will join Blake Shelton and Brett Eldredge on The Country Music Freaks Tour, and she couldn’t be more excited because of the way Blake has supported female artists in the past. “I wanted this tour with Blake and Brett Eldredge so badly,” says Carly. “I love both of them, I’m such a fan of them and I just think that Blake is the perfect example of a true country boy but is so much bigger than country music. And he’s such a great singer and Brett’s such a great singer and I think that what Blake’s done so well for females – from Ashley Monroe to Raelynn to Cassadee Pope to all these different females, Gwen Sebastian – he’s given ‘em a voice. And I think that he really loves helping champion women.”
So now to be the female artist that Blake is championing by giving her a coveted slot on his tour, Carly, who is climbing the chart with her latest single, “Hide the Wine,” says, “I just kept thinking ‘oh my gosh how amazing would it be to be able to be the girl that maybe he could champion.’ And when I got the news I can’t even tell you, I’ve cried so many times since then just thinking about what that’s going to be like.”
The Country Music Freaks Tour kicks off on February 15th in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You can see a complete list of tour stops on CarlyPearce.com.
