The group is now touring Europe but will return to the U.S. in July. They will perform at Country Jam USA Wisconsin on July 22. The group won CMT Artist of the Year in 2015 and has three CMT Music Awards. They are expected to join one of Wynonna Judd’s upcoming tour dates to honor her late mother, Naomi Judd.
