NASHVILLE, TN � January 18, 2008 � Luke Bryan is already seeing 2008 as an even bigger and better year than 2007. Coming off a #2 debuting album I�LL STAY ME; a Top 5 debut single �All My Friends Say;� a multiple-week #1 single he wrote for Billy Currington �Good Directions,� being chosen as Billboard�s 2007 country artist to watch and landing on �Best of 2007� lists for: Chicago Tribune, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Clear Channel Online Music & Radio to name a few, Bryan�s star continues to rise as he�s been given the opportunity of a lifetime being invited to be part of three major tours of country music�s biggest artists. He will be part of some of Kenny Chesney�s �Poets & Pirates� stadium dates; Trace Adkins� �American Man� tour and Dierks Bentley�s �Throttle Wide Open� tour.
�There really are no words to explain what it means to me to be part of three of the biggest country tours of 2008,� beams Luke Bryan. �Kenny, Trace and Dierks are artists I have looked up to, admired and really studied as far as how they put on a great show and treat their fans. I�m just so appreciative that they are giving me this shot.�
The Georgia native�s current single �We Rode In Trucks� made an amazing 12 spot leap (#55 to # 43) on the country singles chart this week as it makes a strong connection with radio listeners.
Bryan, who the USA Today calls �the real deal,� is also scheduled to make his first national television performance on �Fox & Friends� Wednesday, Jan 23 to perform his current single �We Rode In Trucks� before heading to Bangor, Maine for the opening night of Trace Adkins� �American Man� tour.
