Laci Kaye Booth is hitting the road as a headliner for the first time. The country singer-songwriter has announced the Love Ain't For The Faint Of Heart Tour, a seven-date run tied to her upcoming album of the same name. The tour kicks off September 27 at Carol's Pub in Chicago and wraps October 15 at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles, with stops in Lakewood, OH; Brooklyn, NY; Columbus, OH; Indianapolis, IN; and Lexington, KY in between.

Tickets went on presale August 4 at 10AM local time. General on-sale opens Thursday, August 6, at 10AM local time.

The album, Love Ain't For The Faint Of Heart, is Booth's third full-length and her first for Lost Highway Records. It's produced by Ben West and is set for release on September 18. Leading into the release she has put out two singles: "Pathetic" and "Ethereal Redneck Shit," the latter of which she performed at CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium's Platform Stage and Spotify House.

Billboard described "Ethereal Redneck Shit" this way: "Booth intertwines sultry melodies with a penchant for vivid lyricism on this languid track conjuring a scene of chaotic freedom...Her husky, worldly vocal delivery grounds the cooly romantic track." All Country News wrote that Booth is "too busy having fun being exactly who she is" on the single.

Booth is currently on the road supporting Ella Langley on select dates of Langley's Dandelion Arena tour, where the two have performed a cover of "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac. She also appears on Carter Faith's new song "Pearl Handled Pistol" alongside Baby Nova.

According to the release, Booth has been named to Spotify's Artists to Watch for 2026 and CMT's Next Women of Country.

For independent artists watching her trajectory, the venue choice is worth noting. Rather than chasing the largest room available for a debut headline run, Booth is launching at intimate spots like Carol's Pub and Ace of Cups before closing out in LA. It's a grounded approach to building a headline audience on your own terms.

Love Ain't For The Faint Of Heart Headline Dates, 9/27, Chicago, IL, Carol's Pub, 9/30, Lakewood, OH, Mahall's 20 Lanes, 10/2, Brooklyn, NY, Desert 5 Spot, 10/5, Columbus, OH, Ace of Cups, 10/6, Indianapolis, IN, HI-FI Indy, 10/7, Lexington, KY, The Burl, 10/15, Los Angeles, CA, Desert 5 Spot
