Brooks & Dunn have kicked off their Last Rodeo Farewell tour to sold-out crowds all over the country, as the duo make their final trek together. It's a tour that will go down in the country music history books, and The Boot is taking you along for the ride. We've teamed up with Brooks & Dunn backup singer Julie Downs, a celebrated singer in her own right, to take you behind the scenes of the Last Rodeo tour. In this first in her series of exclusive webisodes called 'Diary of a Backup Singer,' Julie introduces us to the road crew as they prep for the first show.
