ACM Top New Vocal Duo nominees Joey+Rory are gearing up for a nationwide arena tour this spring and the early summer release of their sophomore album, the aptly titled Album #2.
“This is our sophomore album and the title cut is a humorous take on the pressure put on artists when they make their second album,” says Rory. “Rather than worry about it or avoid it, it’s more our nature to just face it head on, and even find the humor in it.”
The new album is helmed by Grammy award-winning producer Carl Jackson who also produced their debut album, Life of a Song. That album debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Country Album Chart and remained there for 50 weeks, selling 200,000 copies. The duo’s debut single, “Cheater Cheater,” hit the Top 30 and became a Top 10 Dance Club hit.
The Vanguard/Sugar Hill artists are set to hit the road this spring with Grammy winner Zac Brown Band for the Breaking Southern Ground tour. Joey+Rory will perform and act as emcee for the tour.
“We’re beyond excited about going on tour with the Zac Brown Band,” says Joey. “Over the last year, we’ve become good friends. They’re the real deal. They don’t compromise. We love that.”
