Country-rock veterans Travis Tritt and the Charlie Daniels Band launch their 2019 Outlaws & Renegades Tour on Friday night in St. Augustine, Florida, with special guest the Cadillac Three. The trek, which extends through June before a brief break and then picks back up in August, will feature CDB contemporaries the Marshall Tucker Band as well as duo Love & Theft on select dates.
This year, Tritt celebrates his 30th anniversary as a member of the famed Class of 89, the group of country newcomers, including Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Clint Black, who dominated the charts that year. His most recent album A Man and His Guitar: Live From the Franklin Theatre, featured stripped-down versions of his familiar hits, such as Country Club and Anymore, as well as covers of Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash classics.
Pioneering Nashville session picker, Southern rocker and Country Music Hall of Fame member Charlie Daniels continues to front one of the most influential bands of the Seventies and beyond. Last October, the 82-year-old fiddle and guitar player released Beau Weevils: Songs in the Key of E, with musicians James Stroud, Billy Crain and Charlie Hayward. The LP blends swampy blues, rock and country with touches of funk and jazz, and fulfilled Daniels desire to collaborate with Stroud, who in addition to having been an integral part of the rhythm section at Jackson, Mississippis Malaco Records, previously headed up a number of Nashville record labels and produced numerous projects for other artists, including Daniels.
