Rodney Atkins hits the road on “These Are My People Tour,” celebrating his first new music in five years. The tour kicks off April 18 in Patchogue, N.Y., and contunes through June 29 in Rosemont, Ill. Fans can find more information and purchase tickets at www.rodneyatkins.com.
“Even during my time away from the studio, we were always out on the road with our fans,” says Atkins. “They still sing along to every word of ‘Take A Back Road’ or ‘Watching You’ as if those songs are brand new, so I’m excited to get back out there and add some fresh music to the mix.”
