Trisha Yearwood arrived on the country music scene in 1991 with her self-titled debut album. The record spawned her first-ever No. 1 hit, “She’s in Love with the Boy.” In 2018, she returned from a brief musical hiatus with her 14th studio album, Let’s Be Frank. The next year, Yearwood quickly followed up with 2019’s Every Girl. Now the Georgia-born artist, 60, is teasing new music and upcoming tour dates.

“It’s Been Awhile:” Trisha Yearwood Announces Upcoming Shows
In a social media announcement Thursday (Feb. 13), Trisha Yearwood promised “your favorite songs and some new ones, too” at a slate of upcoming shows.
The three-time GRAMMY winner is playing “just a few really cool venues,” starting with the inaugural Band As One concert on March 26. Yearwood joins a star-studded lineup including Lauren Alaina, Terri Clark, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, and more at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium. The event raises funds for Susan G. Komen, which provides resources and advocacy for breast cancer patients.
“I’m really excited,” Yearwood said. “It’s been awhile.”
On April 30, the “How Do I Live” songstress will head to Austin, Texas, for ACL Live at the Moody Theater. She will follow with back-to-back shows in the Lone Star State, stopping in San Antonio (May 1) and Grand Prairie (May 2.)
Afterwards, Yearwood will make stops in Oklahoma, New York, and Pennsylvania, wrapping up with a May 17 show at Lancaster’s American Music Theater.
Certainly, fans can look forward to hearing time-tested favorites like “XXX’s and OOO’s” and “Walkaway Joe.” However, the former Female Vocalist of the Year has also promised some fresh material.
“I’ve been busy writing and in the studio and I’m too excited about the new music so I’m hitting the road to share it with you!” Yearwood wroe in the caption.
What We Know About the New Album
Trisha Yearwood previewed her first album in six years during a Wednesday (Feb. 12) performance at Nashville’s Bluebird Café. The Tennessean reports that the upcoming record is about 75 percent complete.
Longtime fans will get a glimpse of Yearwood’s vulnerable side on her 16th studio album. “Because I never intended this to become an album, I never felt the pressure of writing songs the world would hear alongside legendary songwriters,” she told The Tennessean. “Instead, it felt like I kept sitting with my friends, comfortable, disarmed and open and writing these songs was becoming (a series of) therapeutic ‘a-ha moments’ where I took emotions (off my heart) that had been there for years.”
