NASHVILLE, TN (November 10, 2021) – PickleJar, the live entertainment and cashless tipping platform for artists and content creators announces today an agreement with Drew Baldridge to help share his tour with a global audience. As he crosses his 200th date on the Baldridge and Bonfires Tour, Baldridge continues to evolve and develop as a successful touring artist and today he is taking his shows to the next level.

Over the course of 26 tour dates, fans can catch Baldridge perform his hits on PickleJar’s mobile app as well as PickleJar+, a streaming channel available on Roku TV, AppleTV+, and Amazon Fire TV. It will also be simulcast on the Baldridge’s Facebook page. Download here – www.picklejar.com.

Fans can find a full schedule of livestream dates on PickleJar’s Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/PickleJarLive/.

Baldridge’s fanbase has been so overwhelmingly supportive over the past 18 months and he is also now using his large platform to give back. Though the PickleJar app, fans who are in attendance or tune in via livestream are encouraged to Give Back to Baldridge’s non-profits of choice, ACM Lifting Lives and Shriners Children’s. It will specifically go to Shriners Children’s music therapy programs offered at multiple Shriners’ locations. 100% of all donations will go directly to the organization and those who Give Back will receive immediate confirmation of their contribution.

“I have been on the road non-stop over the past two years,” said Baldridge. “I have been lucky enough to meet so many people from all parts of the country and many have asked me about giving back. Aligning with PickleJar is the perfect opportunity for me to introduce my fans to a seamless way to give money to amazing causes in ACM Lifting Lives and Shriners Children’s. I spent time at Shriners in St. Louis as a kid and now I am honored to help the place that previously helped me.”

With no signs of slowing down, Baldridge’s tour has reached the 200th show mark. A remarkable milestone when many artists were grounded due to the pandemic, he has created a safe, organic touring model where he connects directly with fans for private, backyard performances. His streaming numbers have crossed over 120M and all metrics point up for this hard-working artist. He has already released five new songs since the start of 2021 with “Wontcha Come Back Home” being released Friday, November 12 - https://stem.ffm.to/wontchacomebackhome.

When he is on the road, Baldridge is also still recording his popular weekend show on LA’s Go Country 105. Hear him each Saturday and Sunday from 9:00A – 2:00P PST and fans who are not in LA can catch-up via the show’s weekly podcast, “Behind the Song.” Recent guests include Jameson Rodgers, Jordan Davis, Lee Brice, Carly Pearce, Lainey Wilson, Brantley Gilbert, Riley Green, Tenille Arts, Scott McCreery and more.
