Traverse City Pit Spitters News Release


(Traverse City, MI) - Renowned for their electrifying performances and explosive energy on stage, GRAMMY nominated Nashville band Old Dominion will return to the road in 2021 for a Ballpark Tour across North America. Teaming up with Indigo Road Entertainment, the group's first full-scale headline run since 2019 is coming to Turtle Creek Stadium in Traverse City, MI on September 17, with special guests Randy Houser, Matt Stell and Caitlyn Smith. Tickets go on sale to the public Thursday, May 27 at 10 a.m. See below for presale schedule and how to buy tickets.

In other big news, Old Dominion will uncover a brand new single entitled "I Was On A Boat That Day" this Friday May 21. Each band member-Matthew Ramsey, Trevor Rosen, Brad Tursi, Whit Sellers, and Geoff Sprung-notably participated in the songwriting alongside Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. "I Was On A Boat That Day" makes its debut on Country Radio the same day.

Old Dominion fans can expect a high-octane set of crowd-pleasing anthems, deep cuts, and a handful of surprises. About the tour, the band commented, "This is literally the moment we've all been waiting for!

We've all gone through it the last year. Now, it's time to get back together, forget everything for a few hours, and have a great time."

2021 is shaping up to be another milestone year for the guys. Recently, they took home the "Vocal Group of the Year" award at the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards for the fourth consecutive time since 2018. Not to mention, they garnered their first career GRAMMY Award nominations. A standout from their chart-topping self-titled third studio album, "Some People Do" picked up nods in the categories of "Best Country Song" and "Best Country Duo/Group Performance."
