Larry Fleet Brings From A Barstool Tour to the Lexington Opera House on Friday, September 18, 2026
LEXINGTON, KY (July 16, 2026) –– Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Larry Fleet will embark on his From A Barstool tour this fall, with a newly confirmed stop at the Lexington Opera House on Friday, September 18. The tour follows the release of Fleet’s acclaimed new album, Another Year Older, his first project released in partnership with Stellar Way Records/EMPIRE (stream/purchase HERE). Produced solely by Fleet, the eleven-track album finds him reflecting on growth, gratitude and the importance of staying grounded, further solidifying his place as a defining voice in modern country music. Recorded at Nashville’s Welcome to 1979 Studio, the album also inspired Fleet’s “Live From A Bar Stool” series—which lends its name to the tour—featuring intimate performances of songs including “If I Still Was,” “More Of That,” “Baseball On The Radio” and “Hotel Bible.”
Continuing to receive critical attention, Fleet recently spoke with The Tennessean, which praised the album’s “soulful edge,” while Entertainment Focus says it “leans fully into Fleet’s classic country sound, pairing ’90s grit with modern, arena-ready warmth,” and Whiskey Riff declares, “Larry Fleet has a gift when it comes to releasing songs right when the world needs them.”
Fleet also recently launched Little Fleet, a community-focused program supporting youth baseball and softball. Sponsorships for this season include Canton, NC’s Kingsmen Baseball Club and Newark, WV’s Newark Braves Softball. For more information, please visit www.larryfleet.os.fan.
Praised by Holler as “one of the genre’s powerhouse male vocalists,” Fleet continues to cement himself as one of country’s most compelling and consistently authentic voices. Tennessee-born and raised, Fleet was influenced early on by Merle Haggard, Otis Redding, and Willie Nelson, laying the foundation for a sound rooted in storytelling and marked by soulful vocals. A devout family man and respected songwriter (he co-wrote Morgan Wallen and Eric Church’s #1 single, “Man Made A Bar”), Fleet continues to build an extensive catalog of his own critically acclaimed albums, including 2019’s Workin’ Hard, 2021’s Stack of Records, 2023’s Earned It and 2025’s independently released Hard Work & Holy Water.
Tickets are available for purchase now at ticketmaster.com, lexingtonoperahouse.com, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
