Hank Williams, Jr. Adds Dates to Fall Leg of Tour

Hank Williams Jr. is prepping for the fall leg of his 2015 tour while putting the final touches on his forthcoming Nash Icon Records album. Stops on the tour include shows in New York, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.

“2015 has been a great year for Bocephus,” Williams said. “I signed a new record contract and am making one of the best albums in many years. I am testing a few songs on the crowds at the shows, and the fans are reacting to them, which is a good sign in this business. With these upcoming shows, the fans can expect to hear lots of the hits, a few new things and more importantly, should be prepared to boogie woogie.”
