Yearwood is touring in support of her current hit single "Georgia Rain" from her upcoming album Jasper County, which hits stores September 13th.

On returning to the spotlight, Yearwood remarks, "It's just like coming home...I miss performing, and I do love the applause."

Known for her majestic voice, audiences can expect many of Yearwood's classic hits such as "She's In Love With The Boy," "The Song Remembers When," "XXX's And OOO's (An American Girl)," "Perfect Love" and "I Would've Loved You Anyway," as well as several new songs from Jasper County.
