Sam Hunt launches his 15 in a 30 Tour at the Blossom Music Center in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday (June 1st), and he’s taking Maren Morris, Chris Janson and Ryan Follese along for the ride.
The Georgia native said he really connected with his tour openers after meeting them. “These are people who I just was drawn to, when I met ‘em. They seemed like they loved what they do, they care about what they do, they’re passionate and talented, and there’s an integrity to them as people and their music,” says Sam. “I don’t know them all really well yet, but I was able to recognize those things pretty quickly with the short time I spent around them. And so that to me, is what sold those guys and Maren on me.”
Sam, who has been in the studio working on his next album, just spent several weeks at the top of the country charts with smash hit, “Body Like a Back Road.”

“These are people who I just was drawn to, when I met ‘em. They seemed like they loved what they do, they care about what they do, they’re passionate and talented, and there’s an integrity to them as people and their music. I don’t know them all really well yet, but I was able to recognize those things pretty quickly with the short time I spent around them. And so that to me, is what sold those guys and Maren on me. And so, I think that will be the same way that I picked up on it. I think folks that come out to the shows are gonna pick up on it and I think that they’re gonna realize that none of us are the type of people who are just doing this for the wrong reasons, and hopefully people can appreciate that. And aside from that, their music’s great. You know, they’re really doing cool things.”
