STEVE MILLER BAND, MARTY STUART AND HIS FABULOUS SUPERLATIVES AND GARY MULE DEER ANNOUNCE THE AMERICANA TOUR  

The AMERICANA TOUR is a 40-city summer tour that will make its way to Allen, TX, on June 15, shortly after Miller is inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in New York on June 11. 

“Touring with Marty and the Superlatives is inspirational,” said Miller.“ This is undoubtedly one of the most talented touring combinations I’ve ever been involved in. We look forward to continuing working together to explore the roots of American Music. Adding the musical comedy of Gary Mule Deer to the show will be an unexpected treat for our fans. I’m delighted to be able to tour with these great artists and to bring the Steve Miller Band audience the best of the best."

“Touring with the Steve Miller Band,” said Stuart, “has proved to be magical. It is indeed an honor to go across the nation with Steve and the Steve Miller Band.”

“Being a part of a tour with both Steve and Marty is as great as it gets!” said Gary Mule Deer. 

The last 12 months was one for the record books for Miller and Stuart. Miller released his second volume box set of collected vinyl, as well as the acclaimed Welcome to the Vault box set. He performed live in over 50 cities, played “Fly Like an Eagle” with The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, did two nights at Jazz at Lincoln Center performing Cannonball Adderley and the Blues and had seven instruments on display at the record-breaking Play It Loud exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Marty Stuart was a major contributor to Ken Burns’ latest brilliant PBS series, Ken Burns: Country Music, released a Deluxe Edition of his classic album The Pilgrim and continued his work with Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music in Philadelphia, Mississippi which celebrates the rich cultural heritage of country music through live musical performance and educational programming.
