Let’s count the reasons why Tim McGraw is looking forward to Friday night (Aug. 21) Here on earth Experience livestream concert: There’s the new music, the highly placed special guests and an opportunity to embrace a format that could be the future of country music, at least in the short term.
“First off, I look forward to playing music with little production and not being in my living room,” McGraw tells Taste of Country, describing the fully produced show as something similar to a special television set.
“Who knows? This may be some of the norm we have to play for a while. But at least we can play new music for the fans, give it production value.”
Here’s how Tim McGraw’s girls helped celebrate his new album:
A song called “Chevy Spaceship” first came to mind when McGraw was challenged to name the song from his new album Here on earth album which he most looks forward to taking to the stage with. Others like “Good Taste in Women” and “Hallelujahville” were put on live sets in 2019, so these will not be completely new to his fans. The dreamy love song “LA” and the almost closer “War of Art” of the album (“Doggone” came very late) are two more, the latter a song that perfectly describes his journey.
“The way you connect is to still get the same feeling you have at a small bar or stage,” McGraw says when chatting about the song.
A ticket to the livestream concert will also get you into a pre-show party with performances by Midland and Ingrid Andress. That starts at 7:30 p.m., and McGraw goes live at 8PM CT. Songwriters and other special guests will be invited to help tell the story of the new studio album, his first solo album in five years. Who are those guests?
McGraw does not play, but he tells Taste of Country that they are net family members.
