It sounds kind of like a new reality show and in a way it is.

Country singer Michael Peterson’s “My Real Life, Strong For America Tour” is about spending several days in each town getting to meet lots of members of the community and sharing stories, music, motivation and great ideas about how we can all work to build better communities.

Instead of just coming in to a town and playing a concert and then leaving, Michael will be spending time at each tour stop really getting to know the people in the community.

Michael was just at the National Biodiesel Conference in Orlando and I had the chance to visit with him about the tour, which kicks off February 18-23 in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is really excited about the opportunity to spend time with people all over the country – especially young people – in a week long celebration of community at each stop.

Stops on the tour include Greenville, SC; Charlotte, NC; Dothan, AL; Columbus, GA; Evansville, IN; Midland, TX; Waco, TX; Lawton, OK; and Lincoln, NE. Among the tour’s sponsors are the U.S. Army, American Legion, and our good friends at New Holland.
