Country star Sturgill Simpson has said in the past that he only intends to release five albums under his real name. It looks like he’s sticking to that! Simpson has just announced his upcoming project Passage Du Desir under his new stage name, Johnny Blue Skies. The album will span eight tracks and is set to be released on July 12 through his label, High Top Mountain Records.

Along with the new name and album announcement, Simpson will also be touring this year. He’s set to trek across the US and hit a couple of dates in Canada in 2024. The Why Not? Tour will feature his band, composed of Laur Joamets, Robbie Crowell, Miles Miller, and Kevin Black. No additional supporting acts have been announced.
The first stop on the Sturgill Simpson 2024 Tour will kick off on August 11 in San Francisco, California at Outside Lands. The final date of the tour will be on November 23 in Boston, Massachusetts at MGM Music Hall at Fenway.
