Following a protracted break from touring, Orville Peck is back and ready to hit the road.
Having recently signed to Warner Records, the enigmatic country singer/songwriter will commence a massive headlining tour. Prior to making stops in Atlanta, Columbus, Chicago, Toronto, St. Louis, and Los Angeles, Orville will kick off the tour on May 28 in North Carolina, along with such opening acts as The War and Treaty, Gold Star, and Nikki Lane.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Peck said “I took a break from last year to focus on myself and even though it was a difficult decision at the time, I’m so happy I did.” “I feel healthier and happier than I’ve ever felt in my life and I cannot wait to get back on the road.”
Peck and Willie Nelson have collaborated on a forthcoming Ned Sublette’s queer-coded version of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other,” that that the now 90-year old iconic country star previously covered it in 2006.
About their duet, Orville said:
“Just getting to be around Willie is so special.” “You’d think he would make you starstruck because he is such a legend, but he just emanates joy.” “It was his initial idea for us to do the song together and I will forever be grateful for his support.” “As an artist who has sometimes felt excluded from the Country music industry, once Willie Nelson wants to work with you, there’s really nothing the country world can say after that.”
Peck’s new song with the country legend follows Orville’s release earlier release of “This Masquerade,” and his 15-track album Bronco last April, which featured singles “The Curse of the Black Eye” and “C’mon Baby, Cry.”
Presale tickets for the new Orville Peck tour will go on sale on April 3 at 10 a.m. local time, before general tickets go on sale Friday, April 5 at 10 a.m. local time.
