Tickets in select markets are on sale nowhere. Additional dates will be announced in the coming weeks and Rachel Wammack also joins the lineup.
“Brett and I may have grown up on opposite ends of California, but our paths crossed several years ago in Orange County, and then again a few years later when we both made our way to Music City,” explains Tyler. “He’s always been such a class act, and an incredible songwriter. I‘m honored, and so grateful he’s invited me to tour with him this Fall, leaving our own stamp of California Country music across the states!”

From sold-out headline shows across the West Coast to being named a CMT Listen Up artist, Tyler has proven his powerful stage presence. Rolling Stone notes how he “is rising quickly through country’s mainstream ranks, unafraid to fill his music with R&B vocal runs and modern-rock aggression.” He has come a long way from his previous gig at Red Robin to opening up for stars such as Dustin Lynch, Sam Hunt, Justin Moore, Brett Eldredge, Cole Swindell and Dan + Shay. And while his fanbase has grown exponentially outside of his native California, hometown pride remains with Yuba City declaring August 18 as Tyler Rich Day and presenting him with keys to the city.
