CMA Announces New International Tour With Lindsay Ell, Brandy Clark, Devin Dawson, Tenille Townes & More

The Country Music Association is headed Down Under in 2019 with an international showcase featuring Brandy Clark, Devin Dawson, Lindsay Ell and Tenille Townes.

Tickets are on sale now. In addition, Frankie Ballard will headline a soon-to-be-announced date in Japan for the Introducing Nashville series.
