Clint Black - Back On The Blacktop Tour

About Clint Black:

A true triple threat singer/guitarist/songwriter, Black has sold more than twenty million records, written and recorded twenty-two #1 singles, and has been awarded nearly two-dozen gold and platinum awards, a GRAMMY, and numerous CMA, ACM and American Music Awards. He’s a member of the Grand Ole Opry and has been honored with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Nashville Walk of Fame. His musical style encompasses traditional country, honky-tonk and Western swing. From the beginning, Black’s biggest influences were Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and especially Merle Haggard, to whom his smooth baritone voice was initially compared. 

One-fourth of country music’s storied Class of 1989, Clint Black's meteoric rise began with Killin’ Time, which produced five consecutive number one singles on the Billboard Hot Country charts. His break-out success put Black on a fast track to super-stardom. Eventually, Black’s wide-spread appeal and his own creative curiosity lead him into the world of acting where he earned roles in dozens of TV shows and feature films including Maverick, Anger Management, The Larry Sanders Show, and many others. The fifth season of his own talk show, Talking in Circles, is currently airing on Circle TV and was awarded “Best Talk Show” in Cynopsis Media’s Best of the Best and Rising Star Awards. This year Clint received the Poet’s Award at the ACM Honors, an award given to the most remarkable and enduring talents in country music songwriting.

About Special Guest Gareth:

Rising Country star Gareth has carved out a sound where Irish Folk and American Country intersect, bringing heartfelt storytelling, energy, and soul to every song. Born in the small town of Castlederg, Northern Ireland, Gareth grew up surrounded by music—whether it was his grandfather singing at weddings or listening to Country greats like George Jones and Hank Williams, Jr. His love for performing sparked early; at just eight years old he won a local talent competition with a Meat Loaf classic, later honing his voice and guitar skills under the guidance of his music teacher. By his early teens, Gareth was performing in pubs across Ireland, and soon after, sharing his music online to a rapidly growing global fan base.

That momentum took off when his cover of Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” went viral, amassing tens of millions of streams and introducing Gareth to audiences worldwide. Since then, he’s released two EPs that have earned over 25 million streams, signed a publishing deal with BMG, and relocated to Nashville to further his career. His original songs, including “What You Don’t Know” and the poignant “Last Thing I Do,” showcase his unique blend of Country roots and Irish influences, while his upcoming full-length project and 2025 tour dates—including a European headlining run and appearances at major festivals—signal that his star is only rising. With the Ryman already under his belt, Gareth has his sights set on the Grand Ole Opry as the next milestone in his journey.
