Kentucky singer-songwriter Hunter Flynn announces "Back To My Roots Tour"

The 36-show run leans into the Appalachian Soul sound and the region he calls home.

Hunter Flynn

Hunter Flynn, the singer-songwriter raised in Pulaski County, Kentucky, announced a 36-show "Back To My Roots Tour" that kicks off October 1 at The Southgate House Revival in Newport, Kentucky. The tour, named for Flynn's deep ties to Appalachian culture, runs through mid-December, with stops that include The Burl in Lexington, Revival Asheville, Buffalo Iron Works, Old Rock House in St. Louis and Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia, before a Nashville date December 10 at Skinny Dennis and a close on December 19 at Twisted Tree Music Hall in Jacksonville, Illinois.

Flynn has built his career around what he calls Appalachian Soul Music, a sound rooted in emotional honesty and the stories, people and places of the region he calls home. The new tour follows a stretch of steady growth for Flynn, whose work has already taken him to venues and festivals across the US and Europe, and the "Back To My Roots" framing puts that regional identity front and center rather than treating it as a footnote to the music.

Tickets go on presale Tuesday, August 18, with general on-sale following Wednesday, August 19, giving fans a short window before dates begin selling out across the 36-city run now heading to the tour guide.
