One of the most well-known country singers, Clint Black, just revealed the list of upcoming tour dates for 2023. His followers who have been with him for a long time will have great satisfaction in the news. Black is most well-known for having 22 straight number-one country singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "A Good Run of Bad Luck," "Killin' Time, Lisa Hartman Black's "When I Said I Do," and Black continues to be a busy artist who travels regularly and does about 100 performances year even if he does not chart on the radio in more than 20 years.
Recently announced, the next Clint Black tour will start in Milwaukee on January 12, 2023. He will visit places like Green Bay, Des Moines, Omaha, and Kansas City among others in January and February as he travels much of the Midwest and Great Plains. Beginning in March Black moves to perform gigs throughout the East Coast and the South. Two gigs scheduled include two performances at the Florida Theatre in Jacksonville on March 15 and 16, the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on March 30th, and the Fox Theatre in Atlanta on April 1st.
Following the Southeast tour in April, Black plans to move West for his shows in May; he plans to perform in about twelve shows in Texas including Corpus Christi, Midland, Lubbock, and San Angelo. Other Southwest dates are set for Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Tucson as well as Phoenix. The current run of announced Clint Black 2023 concerts wraps up with three California shows: May 18 in Bakersfield, May 19 in Riverside, and May 20 at the Majestic Ventura Theater.
Black can release even more of the year 2023’s tour dates in the future. Although his commercial prominence may have been in its twilight 30 years ago, he is still a vibrant live performer and has a string of great hit songs that lend themselves well to live performance. Audiences can look forward to hearing all his hit songs and more, such as ‘A Better Man’, ‘Summer’s Comin’, Like the Rain’ in the shows he has lined up for. Black, however, is also known to sing songs from some of his idols like Merle Haggard or write new compositions as well, so the concerts are more than just singing his greatest hits.
Clint Black first found fame 30 years ago yet he continues to record new material and perpetually tour. It’s his fourth consecutive year back out on the road entertaining the crowd with his distinct neo-traditional and stadium-country music for the loyal fan base. Tickets for the majority of the locations in his newly announced tour will be available this Friday. Because he has always been faithful to his fans and because it is known that he is a great live performer, their copies are likely to be bought as soon as they are out.
One aspect that fans always find attractive and that keeps them coming to his shows year in and year out is the fact that Clint Black is very humane. Unlike other ostentatious performers whose works dominate country music, Black has always had his music speak for him most of the time. Despite, of course, being incredibly gifted and having achieved a great deal, he refrains from adopting many stereotypically celebrity-like behaviors and appears rather ordinary when performing. His fans have been interacting with that real character for over three decades now.
Born in a humble background to parents who worked in factories, Black began his early musical career in taverns around the state of Texas. Even though the man was enjoying the height of his fame and all the songs that he sent to the top of the charts, he never lost sight of his origins. It’s that background and his genuinely unassuming personality that is a key to his relationship with the common man who sees himself as a multi-platinum country singer.
On stage, Black is not very flamboyant; most times, he is accompanied by his band, and his guitar, and no fancy lights or fireworks. He cracks jokes, shares an anecdote between songs, and ensures fans have ample chance to sing along the night. This is an idea that is underlined by every aspect of his persona and on-stage manner: the man looks like he just stumbled into being a country music icon. It’s an image he has well cultivated ever since his first try at recording a studio album, Killin’ Time — a triple platinum country music album in 1989.
Having now been a recording artist for forty years, Clint Black admits that fame has had its benefits in that it has created opportunities and ensured financial stability. But, still, he looks as if he’d be quite happy to get up on stage and perform his music before any number of people, be it millions or none selling his records. That nonchalance and the absence of the diva-like aura remain its major hallmarks to this day and help explain why Black still seems so down to earth. Whether for the viewer who faithfully followed him since the beginning or the listener who only recently tuned into his songs, it is an inspiring and cute trait.
During his eighth nationwide tour in the year 2023, all the long-time fans of Clint Black as well as the new fans can watch a show from a country legend who is more akin to a pal who just happens to perform and sing than a star who can barely be touched. It was that persona maybe more than anything else that has ensured that fans continued to turn out and fill the venues year in and year out. Whether Black’s latest tour stops are in one’s home country or not this year, viewers will always associate his work with humility and likeability.
Another remarkable and, to a certain extent, innate characteristic, that Clint Black has always endowed, is the eagerness to work on songs. From the beginning of his career, Black has either solely penned or co-penned every track he has ever recorded on nine studio records. Such dedication and focus during the songwriting make his performances closer in a way and let his tracks remain timeless to this day.
Black proved to be a talented and promising tunesmith from the very beginning. He wrote or co-wrote all 13 tracks on his triple-platinum debut album including five singles that all hit number one: Songs like “A Better Man,” “Killin’ Time,” “Nobody’s Home,” “Walkin’ Away,” and “Nothing’s News. ” That is an incredible feat that was not the result of mere luck as it was not Clay’s first attempt at the show. His follow-up album Put Yourself in My Shoes was just as commercially successful thanks to further Black penned hits including the title track and Loving Blind, and even to this day, 30 years later, they remain part of his live performances.
Though Black was in the middle of his peak for creating hit records when the turn of the decade gave way to neo-country in the early 2000s, he never lost sight of the importance of songwriting. He sees himself more as the writer of the songs than a singer and guitarist who performs the songs for the fans to relate to. A testament to that style over the last couple of decades is the fact that he has just kept on putting out full-length albums comprised solely of original material. The most recent studio LP is On Purpose, 14 brand new, self-written songs in total which were released in 2016.
Fans attending Clint Black concerts in 2023 will again get to enjoy the songs he took his time to write 30 years ago and other songs from his discography where audiences get to hear well-written lyrics. Black tells compelling narratives about ordinary people and genuine human feelings. Songs such as “Summer’s Comin’,” “We Tell Ourselves,” and “You Made Me Feel” work because he understands the nuance of life and how to turn it into a country song. Add that gift of touching people via songwriting with his down-home boy-next-door image, then one can easily understand why Clint Black continues to be popular to this day.
For other artists, concerts are about singing the beloved songs from radio together with other songs of other artists. But when the totality of Black’s musical career is self-produced from the songwriting upwards, then his shows take on even more significance. When he goes out on the stage to perform ‘Killin Time’ or ‘Like the Rain,’ it is not just for the sake of it or the money. They’re songs about his life that he made and that part of him keeps singing them back to the audience night after night. Seeing Clint Bl.
