Randy Travis’ More Life Tour To Feature Iconic Hits At Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium Ahead of CMA Fest

Randy Travis is bringing his More Life Tour to Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium for a special, one-night-only event on Wednesday, June 5.  

Serving as an unofficial kick-off to CMA Fest, the concert will feature the country music icon’s original touring band alongside guest vocalist James Dupré. Together, they will perform Randy Travis’ biggest hits on one of Music City’s most famous stages. Sure to be an unforgettable evening, the show will offer a visual look back on Travis’ hits and his career in country music, film, and television. 

Although Randy won’t be taking the microphone as he did for over 25 years before his 2013 stroke that left him with aphasia, he and his wife Mary will be on stage throughout the show to engage with fans and enjoy the music. Dupré and the band will perform all 16 of Travis’ iconic number ones, including “On The Other Hand,” “Forever and Ever, Amen,” and “Three Wooden Crosses.”

Tickets for the More Life Tour starring Randy Travis with James Dupré are on sale now.

Randy Travis recently appeared at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards as a presenter alongside Clay Walker. Ahead of the show, the Country Music Hall of Famer walked the red carpet with his wife, Mary, by his side. 

His appearance came just days after the release of his brand-new single, “Where That Came From,” which caused quite the buzz upon its release as it was created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and served as his first official song release in over a decade.  

Travis teamed up with producer Kyle Lehning to create the song, which was originally recorded by James Dupré but never released. 

To make the tune sound authentically like a Randy Travis song, Lehning selected 42 tracks from the country star’s vault, including the original recording of his hit “1982,” and extracted snippets of his signature vocals. He then used a “surrogate” voice from the song’s original recording artist, Dupré, to complete the project. The AI program blended these stripped-down clips of Travis’ voice with DuPre’s vocals, creating a sound that retains the comforting feel of Travis’ music. Randy Travis played a “vital part” in the entire decision-making process for this groundbreaking release.

Upon its release, the song landed at No. 45 on the country radio charts.
