The New Project Follows McGraw’s 17th Studio Album, Standing Room Only

Poet’s Resumé comes hot on the heels of his 17^th studio album Standing Room Only. This 13-track collection dropped in August and features a whole new batch of songs that highlight McGraw’s signature Country sound, his charming vocals and meaningful songwriting.

“As an artist, I always want to dig deeper and get better every time I make a new record – it’s a big part of what drives me, and I really believe this is one of the best projects we’ve made,” McGraw previously shared of the full-length project.

Named after his latest chart-topper and produced alongside Byron Gallimore, Standing Room Only marks McGraw’s first new record since 2020’s Here On Earth, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart and spawned fan-favorite hits including “7500 OBO” and “I Called Mama.”

In support of his newest album, McGraw is preparing to embark on the Standing Room Only Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the trek will launch on March 14, 2024, and hit arenas in over 30 cities.

Tim McGraw will be joined by special guest Carly Pearce on the run that is expected to bring a whole new production, showcase his biggest hits to date as well as his latest set of releases, and overall provide a night of fun.
