Brian Kelley is making waves with the announcement of his solo Made By The Water Tour.
Kicking off in April, the 11-city trek will also feature special guests The Boat Boys.
“Y’all, I am beyond excited to announce my own tour,” the Florida native shared in a statement. “Releasing my first album has been nothing short of a dream come true, and I can’t wait to bring these songs, along with some beach vibes, to the stage!”
The tour is in support of the Florida Georgia Line star’s debut solo project, Sunshine State Of Mind, which was released in 2021. The project was inspired by Kelley’s Florida roots and includes 17 coastal-inspired tracks.
Kelley previously opened up about his solo journey, telling Country Now and other outlets that he was “fulfilling a lifelong dream” by releasing Sunshine State Of Mind.
“I always kind of knew deep down, I kind of made a deal with myself that the timing would be right when the songs were there, and I felt like the songs were there. Once I had four or five, I felt like a door had been opened for me by God, by the universe. I felt like it was the time,” he shared of his decision to release a project outside of FGL.
Tickets to all dates are on sale to the general public this Friday (2/4) at 10 a.m. (local time) via officialbriankelley.com.
