Fast-rising country rock band, 49 Winchester are hitting the road next month as they return overseas for a 17-date headlining tour. Bringing rising country artist Wyatt Flores along for all dates, the tour will see the band play across the UK, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Following their visit for C2C earlier this year, the Welcome To The Holler Tour will bring the best of Appalachian and Red Dirt country across the pond. The tour name fuses 49 Winchester’s latest album Leavin’ This Holler with Wyatt Flores’ newest release Welcome To The Plains.
Leavin’ This Holler, a 10-song set produced by the band and Stewart Myers, featuring appearances by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, singer-songwriter Maggie Antone, fiddler Philip Bowen, and guitarist Cole Chafin. It also includes fan favourite track ‘Traveling Band’, written solely by lead singer Isaac Gibson.
I would love to discuss setting something up whilst 49 Winchester are over for their shows. Would this be something of interest to you?

“The UK and Europe have become such an incredible place for us to tour” says lead singer Isaac Gibson. “The fans are fantastic, they are so endearing, and they truly have a passion for country music, and for the songs. There’s nobody we would rather be sharing a stage with than Wyatt and company, it’s a perfect blend of country, rock and roll, and American roots music. We’re going to have a BIG time, the energy will be incredible, and we are so stoked to bring a little piece of The Holler across the pond.”
“Leavin’ This Holler is a vital release, especially today. When it feels like we’re all just searching for a little light in the dark, 49 Winchester illuminates something akin to home” – No Depression
“Leavin’ This Holler shows they have no intention of slowing down.” – Glide Magazine
The latest album is the follow up to their New West debut Fortune Favors the Bold. Met with overwhelming critical acclaim, Rolling Stone called them “Country Music’s Buzziest of Buzz Bands,” and also named it one of the “25 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2022”. Bandcamp named Fortune Favors the Bold one of the “Best Country Records of 2022”, as did No Depression, Holler, PopMatters, Whiskey Riff, WMOT, and more. The album quickly generated over 150 million global streams and the band also received a nomination for “Best Duo or Group” at last year’s Americana Music Awards.

ABOUT 49 WINCHESTER:
Hailing from Castlewood, Virginia (population: 1,122) in Southern Appalachia — a place where opportunity seldom knocks — 49 Winchester came to fruition when Isaac Gibson, his childhood best friend Chase Chafin, and his hometown crony, guitarist Bus Shelton, decided to step off the front porch (on Winchester Street) and take their music to whatever stage would have them. Captured in a handful of studios around the country whenever there was a rare moment between relentless touring schedules, the album has 49 Winchester’s signature sound of rollicking country and searing rock music, but with a matured approach this go-around. Leavin’ This Holler offers up a more focused sense of self, a new bountiful level of intent and purpose. Gibson says, “We wanted to explore every possible sound we could on this record. No stone left unturned sonically — we got it exactly where we wanted it.”
