“It feels great to have the opportunity to be back on stage with Cham,” Paul Wall added. “To start our tour together in Austin, at SXSW means a lot because that’s one of the 1st places we used to do shows coming up trying to be discovered. We started out as an opening act, now we’re the headliner. Hopefully this will inspire the up and coming artists to follow in our footsteps.”
