Checotah native Carrie Underwood will bring her critically acclaimed “Blown Away Tour” to AXS TV for a live full concert performance from Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif., on Sunday.
Named the top female country touring artist of 2012, Underwood is currently on the second leg of the highly successful “Blown Away Tour,” which continues through May throughout the U.S., Canada, and across the pond to the UK and Ireland.
Underwood said in the release, “I’ve had the opportunity to play in so many wonderful cities and venues on this tour and still have many more to go, but I am so excited that AXS TV has given us the opportunity to be able to share the concert experience live with fans at home. It’s going to be a great night!”
“The Blown Away Tour” Live 2013 is not Underwood’s first appearance on AXS TV. The multiple award-winning artist gave the network’s nightly live music news, trends and interview program, AXSLive, an exclusive backstage interview and live look in to “The Blown Away Tour” when it stopped at Staples located in the heart of the network’s home campus, L.A. Live.
“Carrie Underwood and AXS TV share two undeniable traits: a love for live music and passionate country music fans. I am thrilled to personally welcome Carrie to the AXS TV cadre of live LIVE artists. Fans will not be disappointed by the front row seat we give them to The Blown Away Tour on March 3rd,” said AXS TV Chairman Mark Cuban in the release.

Live artists who have joined AXS TV in providing a one-of-kind music destination to fans include Linkin Park; Aerosmith; 3 Doors Down and Daughtry; R.

Underwood, who has sold more than 15 million albums and has achieved 16 No. 1 singles, debuted “Blown Away” last year at the top of Billboard’s Top Country Albums and all-genre Billboard 200 charts. Her fourth studio album, “Blown Away” has been certified platinum and earned her a 2012 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album. The critically acclaimed and fan-favorite album has also spawned No. 1 hits with “Good Girl” and the title track, “Blown Away,” which also earned her a sixth Grammy award for Best Country Solo Performance.

I am very disappointed! I spent $66.00 a piece for tickets to take my husband to see Carrie in Texas in April for his birthday and I have. Learned that same concert is going to be live on TV tomorrow March 3rd. it is so unfair! We have waited to see her since she was on American Idol.
