Colt Ford will hit the road in April for the first leg of his 2012 “Declaration of Independence” tour with The Lacs, JB and the Moonshine Band, Rehab and Lenny Cooper as opening acts. The tour kicks off on April 6th in Albany, GA, and wraps in Belvin, AR on June 9th.

Colt Ford tickets will go on sale February 15 and can be purchased through etix.com, as well as www.coltford.com. Additional tour dates will be announced at a later time. To insure all ages can enjoy the show, family friendly zones have been created at the venues.

In a press release, Ford stated: “I have the most die-hard, rockin’ country music fans and they come in ALL ages. When I look out in the crowds I see people anywhere from six to sixty years old. I really wanted to set up an all ages tour and create ‘family friendly’ zones to play for everyone that enjoys my music. This ‘Declaration of Independence’ tour will offer just that… fun for the whole family and then some!”

Ford is at work in the studio recording his fourth studio album, ‘Declaration of Independence.’ The album is part of the Average Joes “Ultimate Trilogy” package and will be the last piece of the puzzle to conclude the collective story threading throughout the releases of JB and the Moonshine Band's sophomore album, ‘Beer For Breakfast,’ and The Lacs ‘190 Proof’ album.

General admission ticket packages start at $25. Fans who purchase pre-sale tickets will be sent an exclusive 4-song EP with never-before-released cuts from Colt Ford, The Lacs, JB and the Moonshine Band and Lenny Cooper. For more ticket information and tour packages, visit www.coltford.com
