Sturgill Simpson will hit the road this month for a limited tour that will support the Special Forces Foundation, a nonprofit that provides support to Army Special Forces soldiers and their families.

All net proceeds from Sturgill’s new tour will be donated to the Special Forces Foundation. Tickets go on sale on Sept. 25, at 10 a.m. local time.
