Country singer and Highway Angel spokesperson Lindsay Lawler will begin her second Highway Angel Truck Stop Tour on May 21. The concert will take place at the Knoxville West TA in Knoxville, Tenn. at 9 a.m.
This is Lawler’s second consecutive truck stop tour. TravelCenters of America (TA) is hosting the tour again.
The tour lasts four months, finishing up in late September. See the full schedule of stops below.
“We saw a lot of success with last year’s tour,” Lawler said. “We had so many drivers come to each location, thrilled that they hadn’t been forgotten and feeling like finally someone noticed and was rewarding their hard work.”
Each tour stop features an hour-long acoustic performance and a live broadcast radio show.
One of Lawler’s goals for this year’s tour is to reestablish the relationship between trucking and country music, she said.
“Country music and trucking used to be synonymous with one another. While the country music industry continues to sing of the hardworking, middle-class man or woman just trying to live the American dream — by all means a definition of those working in the trucking industry — the relationship between the two declined at some point. I’d love to see it prosper once again.”
