Tracy Byrd

Tracy Byrd broke the hearts of many country fans a few years ago when he retired from the road.  Not only did he stop making new music, but he also shut down all of his social media and disappeared from the public eye.  Thankfully, he has come back recently, and is now about to hit the road for a 25th Anniversary Tour!

“I am really enjoying getting back out on the road,” says Tracy Byrd. “I loved spending time off watching the kids grow, but I have missed seeing the legion of fans that we had gained over the years. I look forward to reconnecting with them on the road!”

Check out this new single from Easton Corbin called “Somebody’s Gotta Be Country”!

“When I heard ‘Somebody’s Gotta Be Country’ I felt like it was written about ME, and I knew it was one I had to record,” said Easton Corbin. “I am really excited about this new music because I feel like it’s taking me back where I want to be – back to my roots. The video for this song also captures me in my true element, and where I am in my career right now I think it’s more important than ever for me just to be myself and to capture that in my music. This song and video does exactly that.”
