Kicking Off the In The Blazes: 10th Anniversary Solo Tour!

By: Sydney Barton

Hitting the road to perform music for eager ears is such a special way for artists to connect with their supporters. For Nashville-based folk and Americana artist, Aaron Lee Tasjan, this weekend brought that connection as he kicked off his “In The Blazes: 10th Anniversary Solo Tour.” Starting in Austin, TX at the Continental Gallery, he had a 4-day sprint all around the state of Texas.  

Aaron Lee Tasjan’s “In The Blazes: 10th Anniversary Solo Tour Dates

This tour is special for Tasjan as it celebrates the release of his debut album, In The Blazes. He says that “it's been an amazing and wild ride ever since [the release]” which deserves to be celebrated in the best way he knows how: playing it live. Here at Olivia Management, we are so excited for Tasjan to get back to the stage and for the fans to hear these songs live, as they’ve grown over the past 10 years—just like all of us! In the next few weeks, “In the Blazes” will be traveling along the East Coast from Atlanta, GA (10/3), to Lynchburg, VA (10/12). After a brief break, the tour will continue to the West Coast, ending in Petaluma, CA at the start of next year (1/25/26). If you get the chance to catch Aaron Lee Tasjan along the road, you won’t be disappointed as he uniquely blends genres such as indie folk, rock, and Americana, to create an eclectic and raw performance for everyone to enjoy.  

This album covers all the possible emotions over 10-tracks and will have you immediately hitting the “repeat” button. Don’t just take it from me, though, take it from other industry professionals:

  • “The songwriter’s ability to add humor and light to something that very obviously troubles him and hits a lot of folks pretty hard is uncanny. He is one in a million when it comes to spinning stories in this fashion. This, my friends, is brilliance.” (Carroll, Red Line Roots)

  • “[His] debut LP In the Blazes, established him as a left-of-center scribe in the Americana culture, one more interested in tickling the intellect than stabbing at the heart” (Moss, Rolling Stones)

Don’t miss your chance to see Tasjan performing this beautiful and meaningful record live. Grab your tickets here. We can’t wait to see you there!

“One of my favorite parts of attending music conferences is putting together panels that I hope will be helpful to independent musicians. This year for FAI, I am so pumped about the lineup for this panel- some old and dear friends with decades of knowledge about promoting shows, plus our very own Grace Carey-Hill who kicks ass selling out tours for our management clients. It will be fun AND educational. What more could you ask for?” - Erin
