“The message of ‘Miss Me More’ means so much to me and that’s why I’m so excited to announce this tour,” shares Ballerini.

“It’s about being bold and unapologetically standing up for yourself. I can’t wait to sing it with everyone next April!” Ballerini is scheduled to perform the Knoxville Civic Coliseum on April 18, 2019.

About Brandon Ratcliff

Brandon Ratcliff is a 24-year-old singer-songwriter and artist from Cotton Valley, Louisiana. Son of Suzanne Cox of the legendary Cox Family, he was surrounded by music and began to hone his craft from a very young age. His talents quickly attracted the music business machine in Nashville, but at the age of 20, he decided to turn down a record deal and work on his craft…. he would not take the quick and easy route. In the process of finding great co-writing partners, he befriended Pete Good (producer and co-writer) and AJ Babcock (co-writer) who would go on to become his closest friends outside of the studio. Together, they honed Ratcliff’s musical talent drawing from country, R&B and classic rock to Ratcliff’s personal inspirations such as Stevie Wonder and John Mayer. Eventually, Grammy-award winning producer Shane McAnally teamed up with them, and the result is a bold, fresh look at the seasons of relationships delivered by an artist with a clear point of view and a distinctive sound.
