Montgomery Gentry expands in-progress run

Now three months into their US tour behind last summer's "Back When I Knew It All," country duo Montgomery Gentry has tacked on more dates, filling out their summer and fall road trip.

The headlining trek, which began in late March, continues June 11 in Nashville, visiting festivals, fairs and amphitheaters throughout the nation. Since last check, 14 new stops have been added, including July 10 in Fort Loramie, OH; July 25 in Fort Smith, AR; Aug. 21 in Springfield, MO; and Sept. 11 in Albuquerque, NM. The roadwork, which also features a handful of appearances alongside Kenny Chesney as part of his "Sun City Carnival" tour, wraps with an Oct. 23 performance in Columbia, SC. The full schedule is below.

The award-winning pair's most recent studio effort, "Back When I Knew It All," surfaced last June and peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.

The country stars recently partnered with the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain to release "For Our Heroes," a new album that features an array of Montgomery Gentry hits, along with one new track entitled "One of Those Days." The set, which is available now and debuted at No. 11 on The Billboard 200, is sold exclusively at Cracker Barrel locations. Proceeds benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, whose mission is to honor and empower men and women who have been wounded while serving their country, according to Montgomery Gentry's website.

Along with a CMT Music Awards nomination for Duo of the Year for the video "Roll With Me," Montgomery Gentry will be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry June 23. The CMT Music Awards will air June 17 at 7 p.m. CT.
