“The “More Life Tour” is a remarkable celebration of Randy Travis’s legendary career, featuring the exceptional talent of guest vocalist James Dupré. This unique tour brings together Travis’s original touring band with Dupré’s captivating voice to deliver an unforgettable experience, honoring the timeless hits of one of country music’s most iconic figures – who is front and center throughout the show.

Randy Travis, a towering figure in country music, has left an indelible mark on the musical landscape with lifetime sales exceeding 25 million and an illustrious career with seven Grammy Awards and 23 No. 1 singles. His impact on American music is further underscored by his 2016 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and his celebrated membership in the Grand Ole Opry since 1986. Additionally, he has acted in over 45 television shows and movies throughout his nearly 40-year career. Despite facing significant health challenges since a near-fatal stroke in 2013, Travis has made inspiring strides in his recovery, documented in the release of his memoir “Forever and Ever, Amen” and a new single in 2024 with the use of cutting-edge AI tools. His resilience and contributions resonate with fans of all ages – from those who recognized his true country sound on the radio in 1986 to the kids discovering him on TikTok and streaming platforms today.

James Dupré, an emerging star in his own right, brings a fresh and soulful dimension to the “More Life Tour.” Raised in Bayou Chicot, LA, Dupré’s smooth baritone and engaging presence have garnered him recognition from Rolling Stone Magazine and a significant following across social media. His career took off with a viral YouTube presence, leading to performances on “Ellen” and a record deal with Warner Music Nashville. After a standout appearance on NBC’s “The Voice,” Dupré has continued to impress with his music, including his latest album, “Home and Away.” His acting debut in “The Price” and recent Grand Ole Opry debut further showcase his versatility.

The “More Life Tour” is a heartfelt homage to Randy Travis’s enduring legacy, featuring James Dupré’s remarkable vocal talent and Randy’s original band. This tour offers fans a chance to relive the magic of Travis’s greatest hits while celebrating the future of country music with Dupré’s dynamic performances. For more information, visit RandyTravis.com.

Please note: Randy Travis will be on stage and a big part of this show but will not be singing. Guest vocalist James Dupré will be singing with the original band in Randy’s place.”
