FORT WORTH, Texas. May 25, 2021 EMI Nashville recording artist Gary Allan will headline the Ducks Unlimited (DU) Duck Jam with a special concert celebrating the release of his new album, Ruthless, at Texas Motor Speedway on June 26.

The album marks a return to the spotlight with 13 stunning tracks that draw from Allans deep-rooted influences of the 80s and 90s and his unique storytelling. Allan will perform new tracks from his 10th studio album, as well as beloved classics.

It feels great to be playing live shows again and I look forward to heading back to Texas for Duck Jam, Allan said. Getting to celebrate the release of my new album, Ruthless, makes it even better.

The California native released his first album, Used Heart for Sale, in 1996. His album Smoke Rings in the Dark recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a special vinyl edition. To date, Allan has sold more than 8 million albums, achieved RIAA Platinum certifications on three back-to-back albums, and notched five Gold certifications. Allan also has five No. 1 hits at country radio, 14 Top 10 hits to his credit, and amassed more than 2.6 billion total streams.

Ruthless can be pre-ordered HERE.

We had a great line-up, but this just takes Duck Jam to another level, said DU CEO Adam Putnam. Our supporters are going to see a night of great music as we bring Duck Jam back to Texas.
