Billy Currington teams up with Tim McGraw this summer on the Shotgun Rider Tour ’15. The cross-country tour kicks off June 5th in Little Rock, Arkansas and runs through September 19th with stops in Dallas, Boston, Chicago and Sacramento.

“I’ve been wanting to tour with Tim for so long,” says Billy. “I met him quite a while ago, five, six, seven years ago. Actually met him and got to hang out with him, and I think we went hunting together on his property and just had a great day. And since then, deriving from all the good talks we had and the inspiration he gave me and the advice and on and on, I always say, ‘Man I’ve got to tour with this guy someday.’ And so now it’s happening and here we are. I really look forward to it.”

With nine iconic career No. 1 hits, Currington recently released “Don’t It”, the lead single from his forthcoming sixth studio album produced by Dann Huff. “Don’t It” received 4 out of 5 star praise from Billboard and continues to quickly rise on the country radio Top 30 chart. Written by the hit-making trio of Ashley Gorley, Jaren Johnston and Ross Copperman, the lead anthem offers an exciting preview of Currington’s highly-anticipated new project expected later this year.
