Travis Tritt returns for an intimate evening

NEWTON — The Newton Theatre welcomes back famed country artist Travis Tritt for an intimate solo acoustic performance on Thursday, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m.

Travis Tritt recently released "The Calm After," part metaphor and literal, the title is reflective of a fresh and focused start for himself and how his music has come through to get this point.

“I feel so humbled and blessed to be where I am right now,” says Travis, who will release the album on his own Post Oak Records. “My voice has never been stronger, I’m constantly playing and working to become a better guitar player, banjo player, vocalist and songwriter. I am honestly as excited about the creative process and performing now as I was the day I signed my first record deal.”

The highly abbreviated Tritt timeline has the young Georgian incorporating lifelong influences in Southern Rock, blues and gospel into his country during a honky-tonk apprenticeship that led him to Warner Bros. His 1990 debut "Country Club" and its succession of hits put him in the vanguard of the genre’s early ’90s boom. The next eight albums and scores of hit singles led him to amass more than 25 million in career album sales, two Grammys, three CMA Awards and a devoted fan base that filled venues coast-to-coast.

Tickets for Travis Tritt are $79.00 for premium seating, $69 for orchestra and $59 for balcony. Purchase tickets by visiting www.thenewtontheatre.com or contact the box office at 973-383-3700.
