It's not going to feel like summer in February, but that won't stop Billy Currington from hitting the road on his 2016 Summer Forever Tour. The country singer has announced his plans for a headlining tour, beginning in the middle of that month.
Detroit Lakes, Minn., is going to be overflowing with country music stars this summer during WE Fest 2016! Lee Brice, Billy Currington and more have just been added to the lineup.
Billy Currington's "People Are Crazy" was written by Troy Jones and Bobby Braddock. Currington released the tune in March of 2009, as the second single from his Little Bit of Everything album. It became his third No. 1 single, earned a Top 30 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (No. 27) and earned two Grammy Awards nominations, for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song, as well as an ACM Awards nomination, for Song of the Year. Inside, Jones tells The Boot about how the song came to be.
Billy Currington is used to making women swoon with his music. The singer, who includes his own hit "Must Be Doin' Something Right" in his setlists, also performs a cover of Marvin Gaye's sensual song "Let's Get It On" during most of his concerts.
We knew Billy Currington would bring a great show to 2015 Country Jam after his smashing set at Taste of Country Music Festival the weekend prior. His performance at Grand Junction, Colorado's longstanding festival had fans on their feet throughout the entire hour, and it felt like quintessential summertime: hot sun, red Solo cups and country music.
Billy Currington pours his heart and soul into his live performances. The Georgia native keeps his concerts rocking and his fans on their feet throughout the entire night, as he runs through some of his biggest hits, including "Must Be Doin' Something Right," "People Are Crazy" and "We Are Tonight." But, surprisingly, Currington says that the favorite moments for both himself and his band are when his show is about to be over.
Billy Currington is currently living his dream. He released his sixth studio album, Summer Forever, on June 2 and is out on the road with Tim McGraw, whom he's always wanted to tour with, for McGraw's 2015 Shotgun Rider Tour. Perhaps part of Currington's desire to play shows with McGraw is thanks to the good advice that he's received from the country superstar in the past.
