August 26, 2026—Breaking star Carter Faith will join Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgravesand Shaboozey this fall along with her own Cherry Valley Forever Tour, which includes headline stops at Raleigh’s Lincoln Theatre, San Diego’s House of Blues and Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed Street, among others. She plays her first show with Stapleton tonight in New York.
The new dates follow the recent unveiling of Cherry Valley Forever, the deluxe edition of Carter’s acclaimed debut album, Cherry Valley. Released last month via MCA, the expanded project adds five new tracks to the original record, including “Nothin’ Better To Do” with Wyatt Flores and “Pearl Handled Pistol” with Laci Kaye Booth and Baby Nova. The deluxe arrives on the heels of Faith’s historic ACM Album of the Year nomination for Cherry Valley—the first debut album to earn a nod in the category in a decade, following Chris Stapleton’s Traveller in 2016.
Cherry Valley is one of the most-lauded country debuts in recent memory: Rolling Stonenamed it their #1 country album of the year and #17 on their Best 100 Albums of 2025alongside accolades from Billboard, Stereogum, NPR Music, The Hollywood Reporter and many more.
Carter made her late-night TV debut earlier this year with a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she had previously appeared with Fallon for their holiday single “Ugly Sweater,” and is set to make her acting debut later this year in the Netflix film Heartland, starring alongside Academy Award-winner Jessica Chastain. She was named an Amazon Music Breakthrough Artist and Music Row’s 2025 Discovery Artist of the Year.
Cherry Valley was shaped over two years of writing with longtime producer Tofer Brown before the pair entered the studio in 2024 to record. During that time, Carter was steadily rising through country music, signing with MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, making more than a dozen appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, and earning hundreds of millions of streams. Following her Stagecoach debut and touring runs with Ella Langley and Carly Pearce, Carter joined Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild at the 18th Academy of Country Music Honors for a duet of “Lies Lies Lies,” written by ACM Songwriter of the Year Jessie Jo Dillon, while also sharing stages with Post Malone, Jelly Roll, George Strait, Little Big Town, and Noah Cyrus across the country.
