Ashley Cooke will revisit the places that helped shape her life during a special series of acoustic performances celebrating the release of her sophomore album.

The country singer has announced the cities that made me tour, presented by Surfside, beginning Aug. 14 - the same day her self-titled album, ashley cooke, arrives. The weeklong run will include intimate performances, fan meet-and-greets, and exclusive merchandise.

Each stop represents a city connected to Cooke’s childhood, family, or adult life.

“This album was built on the memories and moments that shaped me into who I am, and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend release week than taking a trip down memory lane with you,” Cooke shared on social media. “Each of these cities have impacted my life growing up in different eras and are truly the fabric of my tapestry so far - I want you guys to become part of it.”

The tour begins in Cooke’s current hometown of Nashville, where she will visit several local spots on the album’s release day. Additional details about the Nashville events will be announced later.

Cooke will then travel to Milwaukee, where she was born, followed by Pleasanton and Studio City, two California cities connected to her youth. The tour will continue through Parkland and Sarasota, Florida, before concluding Aug. 22 in West Lafayette, Indiana, where Cooke’s parents met.

The 15-track ashley cooke explores the relationships, mistakes and personal discoveries Cooke experienced as her country music career began to take off.
