The Texas singer-songwriter and aerospace engineer will bring more than 30 performances to intimate venues, vineyards, breweries and listening rooms from Oklahoma to Atlantic Canada

Texas singer-songwriter Mark Winters is heading back to the open road for the Fall 2026 edition of his “Good Vibes Highway” Tour, an ambitious run featuring 34 currently dated performances across the United States and Canada, with two additional dates being finalized.

Beginning August 27 at Resonator in Norman, Oklahoma, the tour will travel through the South, Appalachia, the East Coast, Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Quebec and New England before returning to Artmosphere in Lafayette, Louisiana, on November 8.

For Winters, a former aerospace engineer who became a full-time musician after learning guitar to serenade his wife, touring is equal parts flight path, field experiment and human connection.

“The road feels like the best kind of experiment,” says Winters. “You can plot the route, but every room changes the equation. A song leaves the stage, meets the people in front of you and comes back with new energy. That connection is what keeps me moving.”

The tour follows an expansive spring run through the Mountain West, Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and California. It also arrives during a busy year of new music that has included “Can I Rise” and “Into The Flow,” songs that continue Winters’ exploration of resilience, momentum and the forces that draw people together.

Winters calls his sound “rock with a positive vibe”: guitar-driven music shaped by the expressive influence of John Mayer, the positive and playfully curious spirit of Jason Mraz, and the simple, relatable storytelling of Tom Petty.

Poetry is equally central to his work. Winters credits his grandmother, Dean C. Winters — his lifelong poetry pal and muse — with teaching him how to observe the world closely and translate emotion into words. His aerospace engineering background supplies another creative lens, allowing him to turn ideas such as gravity, velocity, resonance and boundary layers into accessible stories about love, growth and belonging.

That combination of poetry and physics has become part of Winters’ unmistakable identity: a scientist with a poet’s heart, looking for the common frequency between a song and the people gathered to hear it.

The geography of the fall tour becomes part of that story. The route moves from the Ozarks and Appalachian ridges to vineyards in New Hampshire and New York, through the harbors of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and into music rooms across Quebec, Ontario, New England and the American South.

“I love the wide-open miles, the trails, the water and watching the landscape change,” Winters says. “But the best part is when strangers walk into a room and leave feeling a little more connected. For a few songs, we get to become our own small community.”

Whether performing in a cultural center, café, vineyard, brewery or neighborhood pub, Winters brings audiences an intimate, story-rich show built around guitar, curiosity and shared positive energy.
