Always
road-ready country star Alan Jackson (bio | music

& photos) has added a slew of appearances to his 2005
itinerary, including many on the U.S. fair circuit.
The fair dates, which have been surfacing in recent
weeks, augment a healthy number of summer amphitheater shows.
Jackson is also scheduled to perform June 10 at the CMA Music
Festival in Nashville, and several other festival appearances
dot his itinerary as well. Details are below.
Jackson's latest album, "What I Do," surfaced last
September, and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album
chart.
Sara Evans and The Wrights will support Jackson on the road
through May. Evans is backing 2003's "Restless." The
platinum-certified set features the hits "Perfect" and "Suds."
The Wrights--featuring Jackson's nephew, Adam Wright, and
Wright's wife, Shannon--delivered their debut set, "Down This
Road," earlier this month.
Jackson, a three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year award
winner, has recorded 14 albums, earned 31 No. 1 singles and
sold more than 43 million records over the course of his
career, according to a press release.
He is nominated for Top Male Vocalist in this year's
Academy of Country Music Awards, which will be handed out
Tuesday (5/17) at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las
Vegas, and will be broadcast live on CBS-TV. Jackson is
scheduled to perform during the ceremony.
