Tucker was also on hand at the 18th annual Americana Honors & Awards to present Brandi Carlile the "Artist of the Year" award, in addition to her various performances throughout Americana Fest. See below for a full schedule.

On the heels of her appearances on The Today Show and The Tonight Show-which Rolling Stone Country called "mesmerizing," Tucker will be a special guest on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" on September 18.

Select performances this fall include New York's Bowery Ballroom on September 17 (presented by SiriusXM) and The Troubadour in Los Angeles on October 16 & 17 (presented by 88.5FM). Purchase tickets, including VIP packages, here. Tucker will also perform at FarmAid 2019 on September 21 at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin, plus Tucker joins Brandi Carlile at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City on December 6. Tickets and VIP packages are available here. See full dates below.

While I'm Livin' is largely comprised of songs written by Carlile, the twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth and Tucker. "It's a musical biography of sorts," said Carlile, "about Tanya's real life and the places she's seen, and it's narrated by the greatest country and western singer this side of Johnny Cash." Watch the videos for previously released album tracks: "The Wheels of Laredo" (directed by Myriam Santos), "Hard Luck" (directed by Chris Phelps), and "The House That Built Me," which features Tanya's personal collection of family photos. Additionally, listen to the track "Bring My Flowers Now."

Born in Seminole, Texas, Tucker had her first country hit, the classic "Delta Dawn," at the age of 13 in 1972. Since that auspicious beginning Tucker has become one of the most admired and influential artists in country music history, amassing 23 Top 40 albums and a stellar string of 56 Top 40 singles, ten of which reached the #1 spot on the Billboard country charts. Tucker's indelible songs include some of country music's biggest hits such as the aforementioned "Delta Dawn," "Soon," "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane," "It's a Little Too Late," "Trouble," "Texas (When I Die)," "If It Don't Come Easy" and "Strong Enough To Bend." Tucker is also the recipient of numerous awards, including two CMAs, two ACMs, three CMT awards and 10 GRAMMY nominations.
