Reba McEntire to follow 'Duets' album with more concerts
Reba McEntire , who's been touring ahead of a new album release, has added a few more concerts to her schedule, which now extends through mid-November.
The country superstar has been tapped to open Orlando, FL's new UCF Arena Sept. 8 and will play a mid-October benefit show at New York City's Carnegie Hall with Broadway actor Brian Stokes Mitchell. She also recently added an October arena gig in Las Cruces, NM, and will perform at the Oklahoma Centennial Concert in mid-November. Details are listed below.
Later this month, McEntire has a few dates in California and one in Morton, MN. Those shows will also feature comedian Melissa Peterman, who co-stared with McEntire in her CW network sitcom, "Reba."
The Red-Headed Money Maker is gearing up to release her new album, "Reba Duets," Sept. 18. The 11-song set has McEntire joining forces with a diverse group of stars including Kenny Chesney, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn, Vince Gill, Don Henley, Faith Hill, Carole King, Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes, Justin Timberlake and Trisha Yearwood.
"I've had a blast working on this album with some of my closest friends, who also happen to be some of the best singers in the world!" McEntire said in a statement.
The record's lead single, "Because of You" featuring Clarkson, has become McEntire's fastest-climbing song since 1998's "Forever Love," according to a press release. The tune also marks the performer's 55th Top 10 single, tying her with Dolly Parton for the female artist with the most Top 10 hits, according to Net Music Countdown.
McEntire has sold more than 49 million albums and scored 33 No. 1 hits in a career that spans three decades. She is also an award-winning actress, having appeared on Broadway and in her own sitcom, which ended this year after a six-season run.
