After more than five decades of trailblazing artistry, Jessi Colter, the First Lady of Outlaw Country, is saddling up for what may be her final journey. The iconic singer-songwriter has officially announced her 2026 “One Last Ride” Tour — a poignant celebration of music, memories, and the unshakable spirit that made her a legend.
From I’m Not Lisa to Storms Never Last, Jessi’s voice has carried the ache of love, the grit of the open road, and the beauty of truth sung plain. Her songs have always been more than melodies — they are lived-in stories, stitched together with equal parts strength and vulnerability, the very hallmarks of her career.
This farewell will not only honor Jessi’s extraordinary legacy, but also pay homage to the outlaw movement she helped shape alongside Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and a generation of artists who rewrote the rules of country music. For fans, each performance promises to be a journey through the songs that defined an era, delivered with the raw emotion and authenticity only Jessi can bring.
In her announcement, filmed in her Arizona home surrounded by dusty guitars, family photos, and the gentle hum of the desert wind, Jessi spoke directly to her fans:
“Every mile, every song, every stage — you’ve been there with me. I’ve been blessed beyond measure to sing my truth, and now it’s time to take one last ride… together.”
The 2026 “One Last Ride” Tour will travel through 20 cities, beginning in Phoenix, Arizona in April and culminating in an emotional final show in Nashville, Tennessee — a night expected to draw friends, fellow musicians, and fans from across the country.
Special guests have yet to be announced, but there is already speculation of appearances from members of the Jennings family, Willie Nelson, and younger artists inspired by Jessi’s fearless path. Each stop will be more than a concert — it will be a gathering of kindred spirits, bound by the music and the memories they’ve shared for over half a century.
Yet, for all the excitement, a question hangs in the air: Could this truly be Jessi’s last ride, or does she still have one more chapter left to write?
Tickets go on sale next month, with pre-sale access for fan club members. Confirmed cities include Phoenix, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Nashville — along with a few “special stops” in towns where Jessi’s journey left a permanent mark.
For those who have followed her story, this tour is more than a farewell — it’s a chance to stand in the same room, feel that voice wrap around a lyric, and witness the final miles of a journey that began with a dream and a guitar.
As the road winds toward its end, “One Last Ride” will stand as a testament to Jessi Colter’s unwavering devotion to her craft, her audience, and the outlaw spirit that will forever echo through the heart of country music.
