Roots & Boots Tour

Triple The Country Music!

9/18/12

Billboard.com- Collectively, Joe Diffie, Sammy Kershaw, and Aaron Tippin have placed over one hundred songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. So, filling up a concert set list is no problem for the talented trio of country singers. Still, there is a definite strength in numbers, so when the veteran performers combined their talents for the "Roots & Boots" tour last year, the result was a tour package that has become one of the most successful on the road as of late.

Kershaw, whose hits include "Cadillac Style" and "She Don't Know She's Beautiful," tells Billboard the format for the show is very loose. "It's all fun. We rib each other, but it's all in fun. I remember the camaraderie in Country Music between artists like Conway Twitty, George Jones, and Cal Smith. We don't have that anymore."

But, even though the audience gets to see a lighter side of the artists, he knows they come for the music, and nobody leaves unsatisfied. "We get to do some big hit records. All three of us are on stage at the same time. Aaron sings one, then I do, then Joe, and we start over again."
