Jessica Andrews to Tour With McGraw

RENO, Nev. (Jessica Andrews Official Website) - Four years ago, an unknown kid named Jessica Andrews launched her first tour with Faith Hill. In June, a much better known Andrews will be touring with Hill's country music superstar husband.

Tim McGraw is keeping concerts to a minimum while he works on a new album and helps tend to a new daughter at home. But he added a handful of tour dates and asked Andrews to join him.
"It's awesome," the 18-year-old told The Associated Press by telephone from Nashville on Wednesday.
"We're managed by the same company, so it was, 'Hey, why don't you get Jessica to do some dates?' and Tim was really cool about it. I'm very excited to be doing it with him. I wouldn't want to be doing anything else this summer."

She'll open for McGraw but may sing with him on a song or two if they can work in the rehearsal time. Their current June dates are in Lincoln, Neb.; Grand Forks , N.D.; Billings, Mont.; Boise, Idaho, and Oshkosh and Cadott, Wis.

Andrews' album "Who I Am" went gold three weeks after its release. The title song was her first No. 1 country hit.
