JJ Shiplett continues his touring across Canada into the fall as he joins the Canadian leg of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 50th Anniversary Tour

Calgary based roots rocker, JJ Shiplett is once again hitting the road, but this time he’ll be the featured act for the iconic American country-folk band Nitty Gritty Dirt Band during their Canadian leg of their 50th Anniversary Tour. This summer, Shiplett is touring across Canada in support of his full-length debut album Something to Believe In that he released on January 27. This self-penned collection recounts his own particular story in the course of the last two years.

Shiplett’s raspy voice that is reminiscent of Bob Seger’s, his very impressive vocal range and his down-to-earth personality make this artist one that will be around for a long time. He has a passion for music and it shows in his performances. This is a second major tour for Shiplett in a short time frame. He was a feature artist for Johnny Reid’s What Love is All About Tour in 2016.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is best known, by multiple generations, for their platinum-selling single “Fishin’ in the Dark” and have won or have been nominated for numerous Grammy, IBM and CMA awards. To be together for half a century is an accomplishment in itself but these band members just keep going on their seemingly non-stop tour in their 50th year.

Put these two artists together and you are in for one stellar show.

Tickets for the tour go on sale May 26, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. ET at www.nittygritty.com
