BROOKS & DUNN ANNOUNCE “REBOOT 2022 TOUR” (AUDIO)
“I don’t know. You know, it’s fun. Ronnie and I still talk about when we started doing this and all of us on the same bus with the band and crew, one person being the crew, I think. You know, and it’s just something about, I think when you’re learning to tune your guitar riding a bus and playing and being on tour, you know, is that thing you dream about. I think we both still like being out there. You know, Vegas is cool and you’re kind of walking out of your hotel room every day and walk downstairs and you know, it was it was a great room to play. You know, we dug it but I like being on the bus. I like riding, I like seeing what a new city is gonna look like, what those fans are going to be, you know, really just feeling different every night and kind of your head in the game. Shaking things up, you know, like stopping and doing Vegas for a while was great. Now, coming back and doing this feels like climbing back on the horse…that we almost killed 20 years ago.”
We talk about a lot you know, we go out and go deep, you’re gonna fall into the category of only the hits. Or do we want to want to stir it up? I remember seeing Elton John in New York years ago and he broke down and did like a couple of new songs. Well and he did them here in Nashville when they played Bridgestone and kind of veered from the hit pack and did a couple. They were cool, but I don’t know, this is something we debate every day when we sit down look at set lists and try to choose those songs; how to how to go about that. We may get a wild hair and do you know a new one or so every now and then. It gives people a chance to you know, get up and go pee and stuff like that. I think the bottom line is there’s just those songs that you know it’s been joked about it’s in the contract you got to play those. You know, and when we go see The Stones, you know, you better be you better place Sympathy for the Devil and Satisfaction. You know, we’re selling memories here a lot at this point as well as music but we’re also introducing new fans to that that music too. To see how it stands up the shows as well.

With 20 No. 1 hits stretching back to 1991, two GRAMMY awards, dozens of ACM and CMA honors and a discography counting more album sales than any duo in history – regardless of genre – Brooks & Dunn’s influence on today’s country has never been in question. Hits like “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “My Maria” and “Believe” have propelled the duo to more than 30 million albums sold, with the New York Times heralding “together they helped drive the power-country era of the early-to-mid 1990s and continued to benefit from the sea change in the genre they helped initiate right through their most recent albums.” Their original “Merle Haggard meets The Rolling Stones” vibe made them progressive stars in their own right. The duo’s recently released collaboration project REBOOT debuted at No. One on Billboard’s Top Country Albums. The impressive feat marks the first time the duo has topped the album charts since 2009 while simultaneously earning the duo their 10th Billboard 200 Top 10 album, the most of any country duo or group in the chart’s history. In 2019 the duo was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in the “Modern Era Artist” category. In 2021 Brooks & Dunn undertook their first nationwide tour in ten years with their anticipated The REBOOT 2021 TOUR, as well as wrapped their hugely successful and the longest-running country residency in Las Vegas, “REBA, BROOKS & DUNN: Together in Vegas.” For more information, visit www.brooks-dunn.com.
