Known for his raucous, high-energy live shows, country star Paul Cauthen is set to embark on an extensive headline tour beginning in January. The run of dates includes performances at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, Boston’s Royale, Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse, D.C.’s 9:30 Club, and more. See below for the complete itinerary.
Tickets will be available starting Friday, December 6, at 10:00 A.M. local time. Full details can be found at paulcauthenmusic.com.
The tour adds to a landmark year for the breakout musician. In October, he released his critically acclaimed new album, Black on Black, via Atlantic Records. He also shared the stage with Lana Del Rey for a duet of “Unchained Melody” during his Stagecoach set and was featured on Shaboozey’s latest album on the track “Last of My Kind.”
A consummate road warrior, Cauthen wrote Black on Black over the past several years during his travels across America, traversing the open road on his motorcycle and in the tour bus. The LP was largely recorded at Rosewood Studios in his hometown of Tyler, TX, with longtime collaborator Jason Burt (John Mayer, Leon Bridges).
Celebrated for his remarkable baritone voice, which has earned him the nickname “Big Velvet,” Cauthen grew up singing in the church choir and cut his chops as part of a tight-knit creative community in East Texas.
Cauthen has steadily risen through the ranks of country and Americana, first gaining notoriety with the roots duo Sons of Fathers before embarking on a solo career with his debut album, My Gospel. He’s gone on to release two more much-lauded albums—2019’s Room 41 and 2022’s Country Coming Down—and has toured the world over. Known for his dynamic live show, Cauthen has collaborated and shared stages with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Elle King, Midland, Cody Jinks, and many more.
