Nashville (Sept. 8, 2009) � Capitol Records Nashville artist Luke Bryan has just announced his inaugural Farm Tour show on October 5 in Statesboro, Georgia. The brainstorm for the Farm Tour concept came from Bryan as a way to give back to a charity or organization in local farming communities. These special one-off shows will continue throughout Bryan�s career with additional dates already planned for 2010. Further details on these Farm Tour shows will be announced at a later time. GAC�s Top 20 will film their show on site in Statesboro.
�Being from a rural farming community, the Farm Tour is something I have envisioned for a very long time,� says Bryan. �I love the thought of setting up on a farm and building our own little world, starting small and growing it each time. We can never do enough to bring awareness to the hard working farmers of this country.�
The October 5 Farm Tour event will be staged at Hurricane Plantation in Claxton, Georgia, a suburb of Statesboro, with monies raised going to a scholarship fund for students at Georgia Southern University, Bryan�s alma mater.
