After a year of stadiums and arenas, Carter Faith is coming back down to club size.
The Davidson, North Carolina, singer headlines Old Rock House on Thursday, Nov. 12, on the Cherry Valley Forever Tour. Doors are 6:30 p.m., show is 7:30, all ages, 1200 S. 7th Street. Chicago’s Joe’s on Weed Street is the next night. Lexington’s The Burl closes the run on Nov. 14.
Faith is not sneaking into town. Cherry Valley, her October 2025 debut on MCA Nashville, earned an ACM Album of the Year nomination — the first debut album in that category in about a decade, and she was the only woman nominated. The July 24 deluxe, Cherry Valley Forever, added five songs and turned the record into a 20-track map of the fictional hometown she built out of a road sign she saw on tour. That’s the catalog she’s playing now.
Expect the singles that got her here: “Bar Star,” “Sex, Drugs & Country Music,” “Grudge,” “Arrows (Die For That Man),” “If I Had Never Lost My Mind…,” plus deluxe cuts “Ain’t Over Me Yet,” “Nothin’ Better To Do” (with Wyatt Flores on the record), and “Pearl Handled Pistol.” Recent setlists also lean on “Betty,” “Six String,” “Lasso,” “Burn My Memory,” and the title track. Headline nights have been running about 40 minutes of tight, lived-in country — more barroom than big-room polish. Old Rock House is built for that.
The rest of 2026 explains why this date matters. Faith spent the year opening for Post Malone, George Strait, Chris Stapleton, Kacey Musgraves and Shaboozey, plus festival stops at Railbird, Windy City Smokeout and Country Calling. Billboard tagged her Rookie of the Month early. Whiskey Jam’s Ward Guenther called her “the future of the next 10 years of Nashville.” She’s an Opry regular, signed to Universal Music Group Nashville, and still writing like the kid from Davidson who found a made-up valley and decided to live there. A Thursday night in a 400-capacity room is the version of the tour you actually hear.
The venue calendar does not list an opener. Tickets are through Old Rock House / etix; they delay delivery until three days out to cut down on resale fraud. Free parking sits behind the building and across Hickory. All-ages shows carry a $2 cash surcharge at the door for minors.
Faith opened at this same room a couple years ago for Ella Langley. This time the marquee is hers. If you’ve been waiting to see the Cherry Valley songs without a stadium clock, Nov. 12 is the night.
