Sierra Ferrell Announces 2023 Spring Tour

Celebrated singer-songwriter Sierra Ferrell will embark on a lengthy headlining tour this spring. 

The West Virginia native will start her nearly two-month-long trek with a stop at Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, Mo., on March 2. She’ll take the stage at cities across the U.S., including Chicago, New Orleans and San Francisco, before wrapping things up with a performance at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre on May 7.

“Performing live music in front of our fans is everything to me,” Ferrell says in a statement. “That free flow of energy, back and forth, from performer to crowd, is why we do this for a living. Life on the road always teeters between a magic carpet ride and a regular carpet ride, but regardless, the moment we walk out on stage, it’s all worth it. I really feel we keep improving as a band and I cannot wait to see everyone’s smiling faces come spring.”

The announcement comes at the tail end of a breakout year for Ferrell, who was named Emerging Act of the Year at the 2022 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards in September. Spurred by the surprise viral TikTok success of her song “In Dreams” from her 2021 record Long Time Coming, Ferrell’s career has continued to blossom, resulting in celebrated collaborations with an array of fellow musical talents, including The Black Keys, Billy Strings and Old Crow Medicine Show.

An artist presale will begin on Nov. 1 at 10AM local time, while venue-specific presales launch on Nov. 3 at 10AM local time. The general onsales for all concert dates will commence on Nov. 4 at 10AM local time. A complete list of tour dates is below.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About John Prine

John Prine will be remembered as a man who wrote incredible songs — but also, as a man who loved hot dogs, kept Christmas trees up year-round and never left home without … condiments? The folk icon is known for his way with words, but also for his quirks.
Prine was a friend to younger acts and, in turn, was experiencing a career renaissance when he died. Thanks to his 2018 album The Tree of Forgiveness and recent accolades from the Americana Music Association, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Recording Academy, Prine was finding a new level of fame and left this world as a beloved friend, mentor and artist.
