ASHLEY COOKE ANNOUNCES HEADLINING SHOT IN THE DARK TOUR

June 26, 2023

THE BREAKOUT ARTIST WILL HIT THE ROAD FOR 24 STOPS WITH MATT SCHUSTER AND VINCENT MASON AS SUPPORT

NASHVILLE, TENN. –  Big Loud’s country songstress Ashley Cooke embarks on her first-ever headlining tour, bringing her highly anticipated album direct to fans nationwide, beginning on Aug. 23 in Panama City, Fla.. The shot in the dark Tourwill take Cooke’s sun-kissed blend of two-lane pop country to 24 cities this summer and fall, calling upon rising artists Matt Schuster and Vincent Mason as support. Fans can secure tickets during the public on-sale beginning June 30 at 10 a.m. local time at www.ashleycooke.com.

“Putting out my debut album is already a dream in itself, but to experience the roller coaster journey of this album together, in person each night, is why I do what I do and I’ll cherish every moment,” shares Cooke. “It’s an incredible opportunity to have talented artists like Matt Schuster and Vincent Mason joining me on this tour, and I’m counting down the days til I can see y’all out there!”

The exciting live show announcement comes just days after Cooke unveiled that her highly anticipated debut album will arrive July 21. In a preview of what’s to come, Cooke released three all-new tracks off the 24-song collection this past Friday, including title-track “shot in the dark,” “mean girl feat. Colbie Caillat” and “tastes like.” Capturing true tales of love, heartbreak and all the moments in between, the long-awaited debut fearlessly explores the roller coaster of life, inviting listeners to savor every raw and relatable moment. With more music on the way ahead of the July 21 release, Cooke’s shot in the dark record is poised to become one of the longest debut albums by a female country artist to date.
