FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Following the release of the complete edition of his RIAA-certified Platinum album Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going, electrifying performances at both Coachella and Stagecoach, and seven American Music Award Nominations, multi-Platinum recording artist Shaboozey has announced The Great American Roadshow Tour, produced by Live Nation. Shaboozey will bring the tour to the newly revitalized War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

The Great American Roadshow Tour is supported by Coors Light & Jack Daniels. Earlier this year, Shaboozey announced that he is joining Coors Light’s Chill on Shuffle platform, bringing even more chill to the music scene. He is also hot off of his global “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going” headline tour, which saw Shaboozey playing his largest venues to date and sold-out across all markets.

Last week, Shaboozey released Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going: The Complete Edition via EMPIRE, an extended version of his RIAA Platinum-certified breakthrough album featuring brand new music and special guests. The 18-track project extends what has been the biggest global breakthrough of the last 12 months for the singer and treats audiences to six brand-new songs as well as features from Jelly Roll on “Amen,” Myles Smith on “Blink Twice” & Sierra Ferrell on “Hail Mary.”
Shaboozey’s breakthrough country anthem and song of the Summer (and the Fall and the Winter!) “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was awarded 8x RIAA-Platinum certification in under a year and broke the record for most weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart. The track has also reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay Charts and Mediabase/Country Aircheck. Shaboozey made history as the first artist to ever have a single break the top 10 across all four charts: Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay, and the second ever single by a Black artist to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Country Songs Charts.
ABOUT SHABOOZEY
Shaboozey is building his own world, carving his lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-hop and R&B, to country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with two standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER—the only artist with multiple appearances on the album.
His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed masterpiece Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by The New York Times for “bring[ing] hip-hop grit to country” and by Rolling Stone for “honoring country tradition and moving it forward.” The album’s smash single “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” has achieved 4X RIAA- platinum certification, holds the longest reign of 2024 at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has broken records dominating Billboard’s Country Airplay and Mediabase/ Country Aircheck charts. The single has accumulated over a billion streams across DSPs, propelled him into mainstream stardom, cemented itself as one of 2024’s song of the summer, and made history with Beyoncé’s “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” as the first Black artists to score back-to-back leaders on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
Staying true to his Virginian roots, Shaboozey strives to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of prolific creativity, this time by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing modern Americana to a global audience. He’s embarked on his nationwide, sold-out “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going” headline fall tour followed by a run of arena performances as support for Jelly Roll’s “Beautifully Broken Tour.”
