One of the top selling female country artists of all time, Martina McBride arrives at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on October 16, 2014 at 8pm with her Everlasting Tour. Tickets are on sale now. Her new album, Everlasting made history as the first independently distributed female album to debut at #1 on the Top Country Albums Chart. This is Martina's fifth album to reach the #1 spot on the chart. Additionally, the album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 and was her sixth album to appear in the top ten.

Backed by an 11-piece band - including trumpet, tenor sax, baritone sax and trombone and a trio of back-up singers - Martina's live show brings the iconic sounds of the '50s and '60s from her 'Everlasting' album alive. "We've worked hard to put together a show that is visually entertaining as well as very rich musically," shares Martina. "There's so much for the audience to see and experience." "It's familiar music coming from the one of the most recognizable voices of any genre, yet with a stage plot unlike anything in McBride's illustrious 22-year career" (Rolling Stone Country).

The four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year puts her own spin on some of her favorite R&B and soul classics including the Supremes' "Come See About Me," Van Morrison's "Wild Night" and Otis Redding's "I've Been Loving You Too Long" but also performs fan favorites like "A Broken Wing," "Love's The Only House," "This One's For The Girls," "Independence Day," and "In My Daughter's Eyes."

"I feel like this show really takes the audience on a musical journey," says McBride. "The songs from Everlasting and my hits blend seamlessly together throughout the night."
