Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Sam Hunt launched his “Outskirts Tour 2024” last week (2/22) with a show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He’ll be touring with stops in Louisville, Nashville, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Knoxville, and more, and is set to wrap in Charlottesville, Virginia, on April 13th.

Sam told us, “My favorite thing about being on the road and playing our music in front of our fans is connecting with the folks who have provided me with a career, an opportunity to live out this dream that I had as a young college graduate years ago.”

He continued, “And I really enjoy being out on the road with my buddies in the band and our whole crew. We have a real family out there now that we’ve been out here for several years; we get to travel and see places that I wouldn’t otherwise get to visit, and we get to play music. And that, at the end of the day, is something that I always wanted to do and that I really enjoy doing, but most importantly, it’s connecting with the fans.”

Hunt really just loves to get out and share his songs with his fans. He concluded, “You write these songs in little rooms in Nashville, and you hope that they mean something to somebody. It’s hard to believe that that’s true until you get out there and see the smiles on people’s faces and see people enjoying themselves and having a good time, and it really gives a lot of meaning to the whole thing.”

Sam, who is in the Top 15 on the country charts with his single, “Outskirts,” is taking along Brett Young and Lily-Rose to open shows on tour.

Hunt posted news of his tour not long ago to his almost 4 million Instagram followers.

    Two music videos were produced for the song. The first music video premiered in August 2014. The video shows Sam performing at a festival and clips of him playing sports with band members and having fun in various situations with the band on the road.

    A second “alternate” music video premiered in June 2015. this video is a little more produced, with Sam singing to the camera and showing him partying and performing at a small Nashville club.

  • "Break Up In A Small Town" (2015)

    The video was shot in Macon County, Tennessee. This dramatic video shows Sam’s acting skills as he works through a tough breakup in a small town, complete with his small house burning. The song was inspired by his breakup with his then-girlfriend Hannah Lee Fowler, whom he has since married and now has two kids.

    This video won Breakthrough Video of the Year at the 2015 CMT Music Awards in Nashville. In the video, Sam sings while he portrays a Yellow Cab driver in Nashville.

    The video’s dramatic storyline involves domestic violence.

Together, the two have a baby. Near the end of the video, the woman tries to leave with her baby when the boyfriend comes outside to stop her.
