Wilson will take the stage months after releasing her highly-anticipated new album, Whirlwind. The 14-track record follows Wilson’s Grammy Award-winning Bell Bottom Country. Whirlwind includes “Country’s Cool Again,” “Good Horses” featuring Miranda Lambert, “Whirlwind,” “Call A Cowboy,” “Hang Tight Honey,” “4x4xU,” and more.

“Whirlwind is kind of the Western sister of Bell Bottom Country,” Wilson said in a statement when her album arrived. “Since that album, I have gotten to experience so many new things and meet folks from different walks of life. Because of that, I’ve become a better songwriter, and I have more understanding. I feel like I’ve truly stepped into what it is that I’m called to be doing. Ironically, I found my path within all the craziness—and that’s the whirlwind.”
