Fortune Announces 14th Annual Alaskan Cruise for July 2017NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 20, 2017) – Country Music Hall of Fame singer/songwriter Jimmy Fortune is gearing up for his upcoming 2017 North American tour, which includes more than 40 stops (see dates below). The must-see tour is already underway, with several standout appearances in 20 different states. Fans will also have a chance to catch waves with Fortune later this year, as he appears on the 14th Annual Jimmy Fortune Alaskan Cruise. “This is my 14th year as a solo artist and I’ve been very blessed to have also had a successful career with the Statler Brothers, and now still being able to go to these great places and towns,” said Jimmy Fortune. “Being able to say thank you to the fans is what I look forward to the most. Signing autographs and hearing stories from fans after each show is always a highlight.” Since getting his start with the iconic Statler Brothers exactly 35 years ago singing tenor, the chart topper has transitioned from group member to a successful solo artist. As a member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and Gospel Music Hall of Fame, along with penning No. 1 country hits such as “Elizabeth” and “Too Much On My Heart,” Fortune has a history of captivating country and gospel music fans. The award-winning singer looks to build upon that momentum on the blockbuster tour, performing a combination of gospel standards, along with some of the biggest Statler Brothers hits.
Fortune is kicking off the year on a high, after a huge 2016, which saw the singer being awarded the “Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award” by the Academy of Country Music with the Statler Brothers. Fortune was also the recipient of his very first Dove award for “Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year,” along with the Oak Ridge Boys for their song “Life’s Railway To Heaven” featured on Fortune’s critically acclaimed project Hits & Hymns. The popular TV special, “Jimmy Fortune: Hits & Hymns” also helped to propel Fortune to new heights, being featured on nationwide television throughout the year.
