PLATINUM-certified, GRAMMY-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson will join Scotty McCreery's Cab In A Solo Tour as direct support, marking her first-ever Country tour. The tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick-off at Hobart Arena in Troy, Ohio on Jan. 26, 2024 and trek across the U.S. with stops in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston and more. Tickets are sale  at annewilsonofficial.com.   The Cab In A Solo Tour announcement coincides with Wilson's first Country single, “Rain In The Rearview,” which impacted Country radio yesterday (10/9) as the third most-added song this week. The track penned by Wilson, Matthew West, Jaren Johnston and Zach Kale has garnered praise from critics, with MusicRow noting “vocally she's got the goods” and Billboard citing the “acoustic coda showcases Wilson's ceiling-scraping vocal capabilities.”    Released as part of her bold new venture that fuses the Christian and Country genres, Holler noted that the new three-pack of songs, REBEL (The Beginning), “clearly outlines Wilson's new country-leaning mission statement,” as two of the songs simultaneously make waves at Christian radio (“Strong”) and Country radio (“Rain In The Rearview”). Ahead of her tour with McCreery next year, Wilson is treating audiences across the country to her first-ever headlining My Jesus Tour, accompanied by special guest Josh Baldwin. The 20-stop tour, which commenced last month, has been met with overwhelming demand, selling out in every city, including Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Indianapolis and Chicago.   Anne Wilson on Scotty McCreery's Cab In A Solo Tour Jan. 26, 2024 in Troy, Ohio at Hobart Arena Feb. 1, 2024 in Durham, N.C. at Durham Performing Arts Center Feb. 2, 2024 in Atlanta, Ga. at Coca Cola Roxy Feb. 3, 2024 in Chattanooga, Tenn. at Soldiers & Sailors Auditorium Feb. 8, 2024 in Brookings, S.D. at Dacotah Bank Center Feb. 9, 2024 in Des Moines, Iowa at Vibrant Music Hall Feb. 10, 2024 in Omaha, Neb. at Steelhouse Feb. 22, 2024 in Independence, Mo. at Cable Dahmer Arena Feb. 29, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pa. at The Met March 1, 2024 in Boston, Mass. at MGM Music Hall at Fenway March 2, 2024 in Syracuse, N.Y. at Landmark Theatre March 14, 2024 in Johnstown, Pa. at 1st Summit Arena March 15, 2024 in Wallingford, Conn. at Toyota Oakdale Theatre March 16, 2024 in Schenectady, N.Y. at Proctors Theatre   Adding to Wilson's list of achievements, her debut chart breaker “My Jesus” just earned PLATINUM status by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

ABOUT ANNE WILSON: One of Nashville's most inspiring young trailblazers, Anne Wilson is a true “rebel” in modern music. The Lexington, Ky. native, known for her transcendent vocal and down-to-earth storytelling, recently released REBEL (The Beginning), a three-pack of songs fusing the heart of Contemporary Christian Music with the sound of Country, and allowing the emerging powerhouse to innovate as her career builds momentum. Co-produced by Jeff Pardo and Jonathan Smith, the project kicks off with two singles bridging Wilson's sonic influences. The hurricane force encouragement of “Rain In The Rearview” stands as Wilson's debut Country single, while the soaring ballad “Strong” will simultaneously aim to continue the success she has earned in Contemporary Christian. Taking the music world by storm, Wilson delivered her first public performance at 15, singing “What a Beautiful Name” at her brother's funeral in a moving expression of faith which soon went viral. A few short years later, her 2021 debut single “My Jesus” became a PLATINUM-certified single and hit No.1 on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. Since then, she has tallied more than 730M global streams, made her Grand Ole Opry debut and scored a GRAMMY nomination for her 2022 debut album My Jesus. She continues to thrill live audiences, performing over 250 shows in the first two years of her career, and is currently on her entirely sold-out headlining My Jesus Tour. There's much more to come from this modern musical revolution, who approaches her craft with a purpose and conviction that sets her apart. “I am who I am,” she says. “I'm Anne Wilson. I love God and that's my everything, but I love Country music, too, and I can have a beautiful mix of both.”
