His "Just Being Koy Tour," will also include shows in the Golden State in Ontario, San Francisco, and Long Beach.
“I never take for granted that I get to live out my dream on the stage every week and this new tour is something special that I can’t (wait) to share with everyone,” Jo Koy stated in a ASM Stockton news release.
