Dallas Smith and Dean Brody Announce Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone

Canadian country music superstars Dallas Smith and Dean Brody are teaming up this fall to cross Canada on tour together for the first time. The duo are crowd favourites, hit-makers, and good dudes who know how to entertain the hell out of an audience. And we’re sure that’s exactly what they’re going to do from the first date to the last.

The Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone tour announcement comes after the news that Dallas and Dean would be joining forces in Toronto on September 21 at the Budweiser Stage. At the time it felt like a big deal, and now, with 25 more dates (and more still to come) it’s even bigger. The opportunity to see this show isn’t just a Toronto event now, it’s nationwide!

And if you were excited about the Wastin’ Gas and Bring Down The House singers, you’re going to love the additions of Chad Brownlee and MacKenzie Porter. It’s another layer of Canadian talent (two actually) that country music fans are going to be able to sink their teeth into from the moment the show begins.

Note: The Reklaws, winners of Album of the Year for Feels Like That at the 2019 Canadian Country Music Association awards have been added to the Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone lineup! (September 9, 2019)

Note: Rising star Jimmie Allen will represent the American country scene when he joins the tour for the Toronto and Ottawa stops. This dude is everything that you hope he is, and then some. Don’t miss him if you’re going to those shows.

With a list of hits and fan favourites a mile long each, Dallas Smith and Dean Brody could play all night. We know that the schedule won’t allow them to, but they could. And while that’s a little bit of a bummer, the good news is that they’re both going to fill their two-hour collaborative setlist (that’s right, two hours of Dean Brody and Dallas Smith together on stage) with songs that fans love, can dance to, and will be able to sing along with at the tops of their lungs. It’s going to be a good, good time. It’s going to be a party. And we’re willing to bet that the fans fortunate enough to see a Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone show will remember it as one of the biggest Canadian country music shows they’ve ever seen.

One other thing to keep in mind here is that Dallas, Dean, Chad, and MacKenzie all have lots of country music friends in Canada. They’ve all worked with a ton of other artists, they all have networks that stretch from coast-to-coast, and that could mean surprise guests. We aren’t going to make any predictions right now, but there’s a list growing in our heads that makes a whole lot of sense when you start connecting the dots.
