What would you say if we told you that Sturgill Simpson is playing music again, and will be coming to town for a show at the Walmart AMP this fall? We ask, because that’s exactly what’s about to happen.
The artist this week announced plans for a new album under the name Johnny Blues Skies, and a fall tour that will make its way to the Walmart AMP on Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Simpson had previously vowed to only release five albums under his given name and that his 2021 release The Ballad of Dood and Juanita would be “the last Sturgill record,” but with the new moniker, looks like he found a loophole.
The new record will be called Passage Du Desir, and is due out on his independent label High Top Mountain Records July 12.
Registration for artist pre-sale tickets is open from now until Monday, June 10. To sign up, visit sturgillsimpsonlive.com to get early access.
Tickets to the show at the AMP range from $49.50-$129.50, and will go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 14. To purchase, visit amptickets.com.
