Ronnie Milsap Celebrating Birthday With New Tour, Duets Album
Country Music Hall of Famer Ronnie Milsap is turning 76 on January 16, and it's clear that age is just a number when it comes to this artist's ability to keep his career moving right along. Milsap is commemorating his birthday with a new tour, dubbed the 76 for 76 Tour. A first wave of dates are already announced, with more to come.
Additionally, on Jan. 18, Milsap will release Ronnie Milsap: The Duets, his collection of collaborations with various stars including Luke Bryan, Dolly Parton, Jason Aldean, Willie Nelson, Little Big Town, George Strait, Kacey Musgraves, and more; it remarkably includes one of the late Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry's final recordings on the duet “Shakey Ground.” In addition, Leon Russell, who passed away in 2016, appears on the album, on the song on “Misery Loves Company.”
Sounds as if it's going to be a very happy birthday, Mr. Milsap! See below for the first announcement of tour dates.
