Alabama Announce '50th Anniversary Tour'

The famous trio Alabama is hitting the road with their '50th Anniversary Tour' which celebrates their half-centennial milestone. 

This announcement comes as great news for Alabama fans or anyone who has ever stood in a country bar. Actually, this band is so popular, that you probably read the headline and were already humming the popular lyrics, “Oh play me some mountain music. Like Grandma and Grandpa used to play. Then I'll float on down the river to the Cajun hideaway.” 

Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook came together in 1969 in Fort Payne, Alabama to form one of the most influential acts to dominate country music and remain as one of the most awarded groups in history with more than 40 number one hits.

“We never thought playing for tips at the Bowery in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that 50 years later we would still be playing arenas, stadiums and festivals,” says Owen in a statement. “Teddy, Jeff and I are humbled at the amount of fans that are coming out to see us. We are finding out that we are playing to three generations of fans who have followed us and our music from day one. The fans are the ones responsible for our continued success on the road and we love them.”
