Country icon Randy Travis will bring his "More Life Tour" to Louisiana in late March and early April, and it will be a homecoming for his guest vocalist James Dupr茅.
The tour will stop in Monroe on March 26 for a 7:30 p.m. show at the WL Jack Howard Theatre; in Baton Rouge on March 27 for a 7:30 p.m. concert at the Raising Cane's River Center Theatre for Performing Arts; and April 18 also at 7:30 p.m. to play the Lake Charles Civic Center's Rosa Hart Theatre.
Country Music Hall of Famer Randy Travis has recruited a Louisiana talent for his 'More Life Tour.'
Travis hand-picked Bayou Chicot native Dupr茅 to join him on the tour to sing all 16 of Travis' No. 1 singles, including "On The Other Hand," "Forever and Ever, Amen" and "Three Wooden Crosses." Travis will engage with the audience and take part in the concerts in other ways, according to a news release.聽
A major stroke in 2013 left Travis, 66, with limited speech and vocal abilities, although he can and does sing short parts on the tour. Through AI technology, Travis' baritone voice has been recreated and he's released new music, including this year's single "Horses in Heaven."
Country artist and Bayou Chicot native James Dupre performed new music from his EP 'Perfect Time' at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry in March. He made his Opry debut in 2023.聽
Dupr茅, 41, rose in the music world following appearances on YouTube, "Ellen" and "The Voice." Now living in Nashville, Dupr茅, also a baritone, released his first EP, 鈥淧erfect Time,鈥 and full-length album, 鈥淚t鈥檚 All Happening鈥 this year. He'll also perform Dec. 28 at the Manship Theatre in Baton Rouge as part of the theatre's "Home for the Holidays" show.
