More often than not, when clients compare a Star Coaches proposal to our competitor's proposals, our proposal will "appear" to be more expensive.

Why? Because it is thorough...

It's NOT designed to be "pretty"...   it's designed to be accurate.   Actually, it is designed for you to end your tour BELOW the projected budget.

Don takes the time to prepare every single proposal for every single tour himself.

He suggests stop point cities on longer drives to keep a driver safe and legal.

While this level of thoroughness takes more time, it has been invaluable, especially for foreign clients that are not familiar with the geographical layout of the United States.

See for yourself what many consider to be the best, and most informative proposal in the industry, and then get ready to enjoy "coming in below budget" at the end of your tour.

TRAILER WEIGHT LIMITS…

Most of the time, this is not a problem, as most bands are staying within our 10,000 pound limit for GVWT (Gross Vehicle Weight, or a loaded trailer)...

By the way, for you Production Managers, our trailers weight about 4,500 pounds empty, leaving you about 5,500 pounds for the gear / merch...

Anyhow, a more frequent occurrence is that we find ourselves receiving a frantic call from our drivers at pick up stating that "this trailer is very heavy"...

So we instruct the driver to immediately weigh the full trailer, only to find that the GVWT is over 10,000 pounds... This becomes a new problem...

To battle this potential problem, we suggest making sure your packed load is less than 5,500 pounds, and if you must exceed that limit, act BEFORE the tour pick up...

Rent a box truck and a driver...

Star Coaches now has a small team of box truck drivers that can help solve the problem of a disaster at pick up...

If you can't get the gear to 5,500 pounds, let us know, and we will gladly assign one of our auxiliary drivers to your rented box truck from Hertz, Budget or UHaul...

Don't be THAT guy who is overweight at pick up...

Alan Jackson Selling Spectacular Hilltop Estate for $23 Million — See Inside [Pictures]

Alan Jackson and his wife, Denise, are selling their jaw-dropping hilltop estate outside of Nashville for a whopping $23 million, and pictures reveal a stunning property that most of us can only dream about.

The country music icon has listed his 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 22,012-square-foot mansion in the affluent rural Nashville suburb of Franklin, Tenn., which breaks down to an estimated payment of $100,594 each month, according to Zillow .

The official listing with French King Fine Properties in Nashville describes the estate as a "monumental stone residence." Architect Ron Farris designed the traditional, very formal home, which also includes 4 half-bathrooms. The bedrooms are lavish suites, while the formal dining and living areas are impeccably finished with arched doorways, oversized windows and elaborate woodwork that give the vast house an even more imposing feel. There is also a bar, a media room and multiple fireplaces both in and outdoors.

The exterior of the home is every bit as spectacular, featuring a pool with a pool house, a loggia, impeccably manicured and terraced lawns, an outdoor kitchen, a firepit and climate-controlled garages that can hold up to 15 cars.

The house sits on a hilltop on 4.29 acres that offer sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, surrounded by 120 acres of green space. The gated property sits inside the private Laurelbrooke community, which has its own separate gates that are guarded 24/7.

Jackson is no stranger to lavish estates. He and Denise previously lived in a massive 18,622-square-foot antebellum mansion called Sweetbriar in Franklin, which Jackson modeled after Tara in Gone With the Wind when he had it custom-built. They sold that residence for $28 million in 2010.

The couple also owned a stunning lakefront mansion in their native Georgia, which they listed for sale for $6.4 million in 2017.

The tour, promoted by Live Nation, will mark Jackson’s first road trip since revealing a health diagnosis last fall, when he let fans in on his battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that impacts the peripheral nervous system and causes balance problems.

Bunnie XO Claps Back at Trolls Who Hate on Her & Jelly Roll: 'Can Never Dull Our Shine'

Jackson, a three-time CMA Awards entertainer of the year winner, said in a statement, “I’ve always admired my heroes like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn and Charley Pride, who just played as much as they wanted to, as long as they could. I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow. I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me…”

Trending on Billboard

The set list is sure to be filled with the numerous hits Jackson has notched during his three decades in music, such as “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere,” “Here in the Real World,” “Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning),” “Chattahoochie,” and more. Tickets for most of the shows will go on sale on March 18. Jackson will also partner with CID Entertainment/OnLocation to offer VIP experiences at his 2022 shows.

Additionally, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the CMT Research Foundation, which funds research for Charcot-Marie-Tooth drug development.

Last year, Jackson released the 21-track album Where Have You Gone? , marking his first new collection since 2015. Jackson was the sole writer of the bulk of the songs on the project, including the title track and two songs he penned for his daughter’s weddings: “I Do” and “You’ll Always Be My Baby.”

See a list of Jackson’s tour dates below:

Alan Jackson Makes ‘Last Call’ With Headlining 2022 Tour

By Jon Freeman

Jon Freeman

Alan Jackson is calling for one more celebratory round with his new headlining tour Last Call: One More for the Road Tour, which gets underway in June.

Spanning 16 dates in total, the trek launches June 24 in Biloxi, Mississippi, and runs all the way to its Oct. 8 finish in Pittsburgh. Along the way, the “ Chattahoochee ” singer will visit Kansas City, St. Paul, and Austin. The closest he’ll get to Nashville is Knoxville’s Thompson-Boling Arena or Lexington’s Rupp Arena, but he did play a Music City gig at Bridgestone arena during a brief tour last October. Most dates for this tour will go on sale March 18.

The One More for the Road Tour is Jackson’s first outing since revealing his diagnosis with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disorder, a degenerative nerve disease that affects balance and movement through the arms and legs. A release announcing the tour doesn’t explicitly say it will be Jackson’s last tour before retiring, but there’s a hint of finality in the name of the tour and Jackson’s provided statement.

“I’ve always admired my heroes like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, and Charley Pride, who just played as much as they wanted to, as long as they could,” Jackson said. “I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow. I’ll try to do as much as I can, but if I’m comin’ your way, come see me.”

Last year also marked a long-awaited new project from Jackson, who released the double album Where Have You Gone in May. It was his first full-length album in six years, following 2015’s Angels and Alcohol .

Last Call: One More for the Road Tour dates:

June 24 – Biloxi, MS @ Mississippi Coast Coliseum June 25 – Knoxville, TN @ Thompson-Boling Arena July 29 – St. Paul, MN @ Xcel Energy Center July 30 – Grand Forks, ND @ Alerus Center Aug. 12 – Savannah, GA @ Enmarket Arena Aug. 13 – Greenville, SC @ Bon Secours Wellness Arena Aug. 26 – Lincoln, NE @ Pinnacle Bank Arena Aug. 27 – Kansas City, MO @ T-Mobile Center Sept. 9 – Lexington, KY @ Rupp Arena Sept. 10 – Greensboro, NC @ Greensboro Coliseum Sept. 16 – Austin, TX @ Moody Center Sept. 17 – Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Center Sept. 30 – Glendale, AZ @ Gila River Arena Oct. 1 – Anaheim, CA @ Honda Center Oct. 7 – Atlantic City, NJ @ Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall Oct. 8 – Pittsburgh, PA @ PPG Paints Arena

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!
