Alabama will celebrate their 50th anniversary with a massive tour kicking off next month. “We never thought playing for tips at the Bowery in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that 50 years later we would still playing arenas, stadiums and festivals,” founding member Randy Owen in a statement. “Teddy, Jeff and I are humbled at the amount of fans that are coming out to see us. We are finding out that we are playing to three generations of fans who have followed us and our music from day one. The fans are the ones responsible for our continued success on the road and we love them.” The trek kicks off January 10 in Detroit and will hit such major cities as San Antonio, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, and Minneapolis, with more dates to be added. They'll be joined by a rotating list of guest artists that includes Chris Janson, Tracy Lawrence, Restless Heart, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, and the Oak Ridge Boys.
