(Freeman) Austin Meade has announced that he will close out 2023 with an epic North American tour supporting Dirty Honey on nearly 40 shows in the US and Canada! The upcoming trek will cover multiple passes through the West Coast, East Coast, and Midwest, as well as stops in Toronto and Montreal. The tour is set to kick off in San Francisco, CA on October 18, and concludes in St. Louis, MO on December 15. Ahead of the tour, MEADE will also perform at some US festivals this fall - namely Louisville's 'Louder Than Life' and Sacramento's 'Aftershock', along with a handful of headlining dates. Earlier this month, the Texas-based rocker made his Lollapalooza debut and released the music video for his single "Blackout". The new song has recently entered the Top 40 at Active Rock radio!

Commenting on the news of "Blackout" charting at radio and the upcoming tour with Dirty Honey, MEADE shares, "I'm super pumped to hear that 'Blackout' has broken through the top 40 on radio. We've been working towards opportunities like this for a decade. We are hitting a nationwide tour starting next month with Dirty Honey and I am excited to take this song out on the road."

MEADE continues to establish himself as a story-driven songwriter with a passion for cinematic narratives on "Blackout", this time paying homage to the cult classic Fight Club with his latest music video. Musically, the new song showcases a more modern rock sound compared to past hits from the outspoken singer/songwriter, as well as sleek, eclectic production. But of course, at the heart of "Blackout", is MEADE's signature brand of introspective, self-deprecating commentary packed into massive hooks.

"'Blackout' is how the last decade of my life has felt. It's as honest as a small-town Texas boy can get, and I think it's a song that a lot of people can relate to. I'm ready for this new chapter of music and the opportunities that come with it."
