Even though Halloween is about a month and a half away, we're beginning to see signs of Christmas in the Southern Tier.  I mentioned on my show last week that Darius Rucker is recording a holiday album and just today, Dustin Lynch announced a Christmas tour.

Hot on the charts right now with 'Where It's At,'  Dustin Lynch will take center stage with the Taste of Country Christmas Tour with 13 stops, primarily in Texas and neighboring states.

Dustin is one of the rare country singers that was actually born in Nashville, Tennessee.  He's very much looking forward to headlining his first-ever Taste of Country Christmas Tour this November and December. Tickets go on sale Wednesday (Sept. 17), but ToC readers can get tickets through an exclusive pre-sale right now!

Lynch released his highly anticipated sophomore album 'Where It's At' on Sept. 9, featuring the irresistible Top 5 title track ("Yep, yep") and soulful ballads like 'Mind Reader,' 'Halo' and 'Your Daddy's Boots.' Lynch's album is a ToC Critic's Pick. The Tennessee native truly establishes a unique brand he can hang his recognizable cowboy hat on for years to come.

Lynch is becoming one of country's most talked-about live performers, as well. His band is tight, and thousands pack clubs, bars, arenas or amphitheaters to see the 'Cowboys and Angels' singer. The fourth-annual Christmas Tour is his gift to you this year.

Last year's ToC Christmas Tour sold out quickly, with headliner Thomas Rhett taking the stage. For four years, the fastest rising stars in country have made a tour of the south to play for fans.
