The "Light The Fuse Tour 2013" first leg kicks off on July 18th in Cincinnati and concludes on October 5th, after twenty-eight outdoor shows highlighted by Urban's first performance at Los Angeles' famed Hollywood Bowl. The second leg gets underway in Omaha before seventeen arena shows conclude in Louisville on December 8th.

The group's fifth studio album Tornado was released in the fall of 2012 and includes 2x platinum-selling #1 hit "Pontoon" and album title-track "Tornado" which also peaked in the #1 spot. Collectively, the group has earned over 25 award show nominations and has taken home the award for ACM Top New Vocal Group, CMA Single of the Year ("Pontoon"), CMA Vocal Group of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Group/Duo Performance ("Pontoon").
DUSTIN LYNCH: Since the release of his debut single, "Cowboys and Angels," Broken Bow Records' Dustin Lynch has earned a #1 album, over a million single sales and has surpassed 7 million views on YouTube/ VEVO.
