Nashville, TN (Gary Allan Fans Website) - Last night Gary Allan sold out yet another venue when he played one of Nashville's newest hot spots, City Hall. It was an important stop on a tour that's been filled with record breaking crowds and sold out shows. Fans and industry VIPs came out in force to watch Allan perform a 90 minute set full of radio hits and tracks off of his upcoming album TOUGH ALL OVER due in stores next Tuesday, October 11. When Allan took the stage his face lit up as he saw that his fans had piled into the venue filling it from wall to wall. 'They really have you all packed in here. We'll just drink some beer and sweat together for a while,' he said as the fans cheered him on. The hippest guy in Country Music drew a crowd of industry insiders who were anxious to see him perform cuts off the new album. With his brooding voice in cool California fashion he delivered one new song after another, each met with more applause than the next. The audience was captivated enough that (uncommon of a Nashville crowd) the venue was still packed when Allan hit his final note. In addition to cuts off the new album Allan and his band played a mix of chart topping hits including three number one tracks 'Man to Man,' 'Nothing On But The Radio,' and 'Tough Little Boys.' Also included in the set were crowd favorites 'Songs About Rain,' 'Right Where I Need I Be,' 'It Would be You' and 'Man of Me.' Allan is on a roll. Three of his last four singles have topped the radio charts landing at No 1, he's breaking attendance records and selling out venues across the country and this weekend he will headline Red River Day at State Fair Of Texas (the largest Fair in America with over 4 million people in attendance each year). His new album TOUGH ALL OVER due next week, is already being praised as a stunner in the press. Country Weekly exclaims 'One of the bravest and most stunningly intimate main stream country albums ever made. It demands to be listened to carefully and thoughtfully.' While The New York Times states, 'starting with "Tough All Over" and "Best I Ever Had," the first half of this CD is subtly devastating...' the critic goes on the call the album 'elegant' and 'dazzling.' Pick up a copy of TOUGH ALL OVER next week and listen for yourself.
