"The After Party Deluxe goes deeper into each song and deeper into who I am as an artist. There are full send live tracks from the RD Party and there are intimate acoustic songs that peel back deeper emotion in each song. I love these songs so much I had to explore every facet of them. HERE COMES RUSSELL DICKERSON THE AFTER PARTY DELUXE ON NOV 3," Dickerson shared in a post on Twitter.

Shortly after announcing The After Party Deluxe and his official after-party show, Dickerson released an acoustic video performance of "Over and Over." The song was originally featured on his 2022 self-titled album, Russell Dickerson.

It's no surprise that the news of The After Party Deluxe doesn't stop there, Dickerson will also hold an official after-party at Rodeo Dallas on November 4 following his show at Southside Ballroom in Dallas, Texas.

This past summer, Dickerson dropped a brand new EP, Three Months Two Streets Down, featuring five new tracks showcasing his signature sound. He recently also celebrated his romantic tune, “God Gave Me A Girl,” going number one.

Dickerson is gearing up for the final dates of his 2023 headlining Big Wheels & Back Roads Tour with special guests Parmalee, Restless Road, and Niko Moon on select dates. He will be out on the road through November 11 with remaining shows in Cleveland, Chicago, Grand Rapids, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, St. Petersburg, and Estero.

While touring earlier this month, he and his wife, Kailey, welcomed their second child together, son, Radford Arthur Dickerson. "Lil Rad man" aka Radford's old brother Remington "Rem Dog,"  celebrated his third birthday in September.

Country music often focuses on small-town people and their love of the land and fellow people in their hometowns. There have been many songs in the country over the years paying homage to the small town and hometowns, including Miranda Lambert's 2007 song "Famous In A Small Town." Eric Church scored a hit in 2014 with "Give Back My Hometown."

Miranda's 2007 song's lyrics include, "Whether you're late for church / Or you're stuck in jail / Hey, word's gonna get around / Everybody dies famous in a small town / Well, baby, who needs their faces in a magazine? / Me and you, we've been stars in this town since we were seventeen."

Carrie Underwood also sings of the charm of small towns in her 2012 chart-topper "Thank God For Hometowns," and it is hard to forget one of Montgomery Gentry's biggest hit over twenty years ago in 2002, "My Hometown."

The Cambridge Dictionary defines small towns as "small social groups where ordinary people live." The US Census Bureau determines a small town with a population between 25,000 and 50,000. It is slightly smaller than the average suburb, which is defined as a community within an urban area with between 30,000 and 70,000 residents.

What is fun in country music today is that many of today's big stadium headliners, like Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, play for crowds bigger than the populations of the towns they were born in. As we pay tribute to hometowns, we look at five country superstars playing to audiences each night bigger than their hometowns.

As of 2021, Huntersville has a population of roughly 60,000. That is just a bit less than the crowd size Luke plays for each night on his stadium tour. Combs is now in New Zealand playing for big crowds overseas.

Morgan is playing for audiences each night on his stadium tour for crowds more than forty times the size of his hometown. In 2020, the population of Sneedville was just 1,315.

Lainey's hometown is tiny, with a population of just 211 reported in 2021. Wilson is now on her own headling arena tour playing for crowds of more than 10,000 people, and she just wrapped Luke Combs stadium tour as an opener playing for crowds over 60,000 each night.

Eric is from a very small town with just under 5,000 (4,927) as of 2021. Church is currently on his "Outsiders Revival Tour," playing outdoor arenas with more than twice his hometown's population at each stop.

Carrie often talks about her hometown being Checotah, Oklahoma, which has a population of 2,043 as of 2021, but she was actually born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, with a population of 36,790 (2021). Either way, opening for Guns N' Roses on their "World Tour" like she has last week (8/6) and a few more times this month, she is playing for packed rock crowds of over 60,000.
