Tim McGraw is primed and ready to kick off his Two Lanes of Freedom 2013 Tour presented by Pennzoil tonight (May 2) in Birmingham, AL. The tour will hit over 30 cities this summer and includes guests Brantley Gilbert and Love and Theft.

“With every tour we put together we focus on making it new and exciting for the fans,” said McGraw. “All the production bells and whistles are nice and we’ll certainly have all those, but this tour is all about smacking you in the face with a huge sound and great songs and giving you an unforgettable night of music.”

McGraw is unveiling his video for “Highway Don’t Care” with Taylor Swift, featuring Keith Urban on guitar, on Monday, May 6 in a premiere event with Google+ Hangout. McGraw will premiere the video directed by Shane Drake in Nashville at 4:00 PM CST in front of a live audience with fans from around the globe also participating in the event. The Google+ Hangout will be livestreamed on YouTube.com/TimMcGraw. The track has already sold over 500,000 downloads and is the third single from McGraw’s latest album, Two Lanes of Freedom.

McGraw will also continue the HomeFront program, along with Chase and Operation Homefront, to award mortgage-free homes to veterans in need at each of the 31 tour stops. Last year, McGraw, Chase and Operation Homefront launched the program and awarded over 30 homes.
