The tour will come to the the Raleigh Amphitheater on Friday, July 29. Tickets for much of the tour go on sale this Friday, but ticket info for Raleigh is not available yet. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, May 13 for $24.50 to $37.

Vernon is taking an eight-piece band on tour which will include a three-piece horn section which should make for a killer set. No full songs from the new album have surfaced yet, but Check out a short teaser video for the album below which features a short clip of new music.
