Celebrating '60s Soul: By Any Means Album Tours Across America

By Any Means: Soulful Celebrations on a 7-City Tour

The excitement is building as the artists behind By Any Means: The Album prepare to embark on a highly anticipated tour titled Moonshine & Music. This seven-date tour will traverse the United States, bringing a rich tapestry of '60s soul classics to life. The tour stars the album's musical director, Pynk Beard, alongside talented artists Steve Ray Ladson, Elsie, and Stella Prince. Each show will also feature special guest performers like Tone Stith and Reyna Roberts, making this a diverse musical experience for attendees.

The tour is rooted in the celebration of the powerful anthems from the 1960s, known for shaping American music. Tickets are affordably priced at $10, and for those lucky enough to attend performances at Ole Smoky venues in Nashville and Myrtle Beach, entry is absolutely free. Festival-goers are encouraged to experience the spirit of moonsine and music as it unites communities.

One of the aspects that make this tour distinctive is its focus on local talent. Rissi Palmer, host of Apple Music's Color Me Country Radio, will be selecting a local opening act for each show, giving emerging artists a platform to shine. This initiative emphasizes the importance of community and gives each performance a unique touch.

Particularly significant is the opening stop in St. Louis, the hometown of the iconic Isley Brothers, who perform the album’s title track, “By Any Means.” Nostalgia will be palpable as fans remember The Isley Brothers’ unforgettable hit “Shout,” which defined an era in music.

Pynk Beard shared his thoughts on the tour, expressing pride in the artists' ability to reimagine songs from legendary performers such as Ray Charles and James Brown. Their renditions contribute to a narrative that honors the music's historical significance while appealing to both new listeners and long-time fans.

Each stop is set to be a celebration of music, culture, and community, where fans will not only enjoy the live performances but also participate in an event that reflects a rich heritage in Black music history. The tour is designed with a vision to showcase the continuing influence of soul music and its vital place in today's artistic landscape.

The album By Any Means was launched on September 25 and includes tracks that pay homage to the revered sounds. The title track, co-written by Diane Warren, is performed by The Isley Brothers and David Kushner and is already generating buzz for its potential Oscar nomination. These essential elements highlight the fusion of music, community, and celebration that this tour aims to foster.

In essence, the Moonshine & Music tour is an invitation to delve into the soulful sounds of American history while connecting to contemporary artistry. It’s a celebration that promises to create memorable moments for all attendees and solidify the enduring legacy of '60s soul music in the hearts of fans across the nation.
