Lauren Alaina is one of the opening acts on select dates for Luke Bryan’s Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day Tour, and she begins her run on Friday (June 16th) in Atlanta, Georgia. She is on the bill for the trek, which also features Brett Eldredge, for a handful of dates, including June 23rd in Hershey, Pennsylvania, June 24th in Mansfield, Massachusetts and June 25th in Columbia, Maryland, as well as some shows in July.

Lauren says she’s so excited to be on tour with Luke, who previously toured together on Jason Aldean’s My Kinda Party Tour in 2012.

“To be on the road with him and to be able to take notes, even though he’s a male and he’s got a very different path than me, I still look up to him in so many ways,” says Lauren. “nd it’s so cool that he’s recognized me as a talent again – after I’ve toured with him before – to go back on the road with him. That, I can’t even explain what that means to me. And I think that he could pick anyone and I’m one of the ones he picked, and that makes me feel pretty cool.”

Lauren is making her way up the country charts with the autobiographical “Doin’ Fine,” from her Road Less Traveled album.
