NEW YORK, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Rolling Stone and Sonesta International Hotels announced the expansion of their Musicians on Musicians partnership: a satellite event series which brings the pages of Rolling Stone's signature issue to life. Building on last year's success, the series will grow to a five-city tour in 2025, bringing even more unforgettable artist conversations and exclusive performances to new fans and cities across the United States.

Musicians on Musicians, Rolling Stone's iconic franchise, pairs established and emerging artists together to discuss their unique creative journeys, life and more. Curated by Rolling Stone editors, the 2025 event series will feature intimate conversations and special performances showcasing artists deeply connected to each city's unique culture and sound. This bespoke lineup ensures each event is profoundly personal and reflective of each locale's vibrant musical heritage.

"By expanding to a five-city tour with our partners at Sonesta, we're bringing unforgettable performances and conversations to some of America's most musically vibrant cities," said Gus Wenner, CEO of Rolling Stone. "Musicians on Musicians events give artists a space to share their stories and their mutual admiration, and we're giving audiences a front-row seat to those moments."

The tour will kick off on March 24 in Austin, TX, featuring country and Americana artists Charley Crockett and Noeline Hofmann. Fresh off his first Grammy nomination for his album $10 Cowboy, Texas-native Charley Crockett is set to release his highly anticipated album Lonesome Drifter on March 14. Joining Crockett is rapidly rising country music newcomer Noeline Hofmann, known for her recent hit duet with Zach Bryan, "Purple Gas." In addition to sharing the stage at the Musicians on Musicians event, Hofmann is opening for Crockett on his $10 Cowboy Tour.
