Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors - named by Billboard as country music's No. 1 touring act of 2010 - kicked off the 2011 "Emotional Traffic" tour with a sold-out show at American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX.
In addition to playing hits from throughout his career, Tim McGraw will be performing five songs from his forthcoming album, Emotional Traffic: "Felt Good On My Lips," which is climbing the Hot AC chart after spending three weeks at No. 1 on the Country chart, "Better Than I Used To Be," "Halo," "Right Back At Ya" and "I Will Not Fall Down."

Marking the beginning of an exciting long term relationship with McGraw, Camping World, America's #1 source for RVs, camping accessories, RV maintenance and repair, and the Good Sam Club, America's largest RV owners organization, will be the presenting sponsors of the 2011 "Emotional Traffic" tour. Kicking off their second year in partnership with McGraw, Outback Steakhouse is proud to be a supporting partner of therun, which will be promoted nationally by Live Nation.
Tim McGraw will perform on "The View" on April 27 and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on April 28.
He will also headline a special show at New York City's Beacon Theatre on April 27. The exclusive, invitation-only concert is for SiriusXM listeners and will celebrate ten years of SiriusXM broadcasting the best in country music. It will also feature performances by Luke Bryan and The Band Perry and will air nationwide live on three SiriusXM channels: Tim McGraw Radio (which launches April 20 and will air through April 27), The Highway and Prime Country. SiriusXM will air multiple live Tim McGraw concerts from various cities across the country during the "Emotional Traffic" tour.
When his latest hit single, "Felt Good On My Lips," topped Billboard's HotCountry Songs chart for the third straight week, McGraw set a new milestone: with a cumulative 69 weeks at No. 1 over the course of 32 chart-topping singles, he became the artist with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart since the beginning of the Nielsen BDS-era (January 20, 1990). "Felt Good On My Lips" was No. 1 on Mediabase's Canadian chart for five consecutive weeks. The song, which has now crossed over to the Hot AC format, is one of two bonus tracks included on his double-CD collection, Number One Hits (Curb Records).
