Everyone has a story to tell. For Wynonna Judd, her stories have always been told through music with one of the most influential and important voices of our generation. You’ll hear tales from an iconic artist who has met extraordinary people and been blessed with amazing opportunities throughout her unparalleled 32 year career. Come experience incomparable artistry as she and her band take you on a musical journey starting at the beginning with her mom as The Judds to her illustrious solo career to unprecedented new music from Wynonna & The Big Noise.

About WYNONNA & THE BIG NOISE:WYNONNA and her band The Big Noise, led by her husband drummer/producer Cactus Moser, released their debut full-length album in February 2016 via Curb Records to critical acclaim such as RollingStone.com’s Stephen L. Betts who raved, “…Wynonna & The Big Noise brings a raw, unvarnished approach to the album’s dozen tracks, which run the gamut from gutsy blues to sweet, Seventies-inspired country-pop. While the LP is a natural for the wide-open Americana format, Wynonna’s legions of country fans will feel right at home…” WYNONNA has described the new album as “vintage yet modern” and a “return to the well.” It’s a rootsy work encompassing country, Americana, blues, soul and rock. The album features special guests Derek Trucks, Jason Isbell, Susan Tedeschi and Timothy B Schmit. NPR’s Ann Powers noted that “Wynonna & The Big Noise lays bare the joy that is Judd’s most potent gift as a vocalist…Wynonna’s in the big field now. But she was always there anyway, with her magnificently versatile alto and penchant for both belting and swooning. With her tight band behind her after touring together for several years, she just sounds like she’s home…You can just feel the grin on her face.”
