Alec Benjamin Announces Additional North American Tour Dates

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin has announced additional dates on his upcoming North American Tour. The 23-city trek will now kick off in Santa Cruz, CA on September 14, and wrap on October 21 in Pomona, CA. Due to overwhelming demand, Alec has announced additional nights in Toronto, Boston, and Washington, DC, and upgraded his Dallas show to a larger venue. Tickets for the new dates will be available this Friday, June 18 at 10:00am local time HERE. Special guest Harry Hudson will provide support on the tour.

Alec Benjamin's latest single "The Way You Felt" was released earlier this Spring and is available to stream and download now HERE via Elektra Records. Watch the track's lyric video HERE. Last month, Alec delivered the song's network television performance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Watch the clip HERE. In honor of Mother's Day, Corden and his mother Margaret also welcomed Alec and his mother Janet onto the show for a special interview. Watch it HERE.

Last week Alec unveiled a Mandarin version of the track. "你的目光 (The Way You Felt)" is available to stream and download now HERE. The song marked Alec's first official Mandarin release, and immediately shot to #1 on NetEase Music's Western New Music Chart in China, surpassing new releases from artists including Lorde and Maroon 5. Competing with both domestic and international releases, the track also climbed to #2 on the platform's Viral Chart and #8 on the New Music Chart. After resuming his study of the language during the COVID-19 pandemic, Alec collaborated with Chinese actress and singer Zhao Lusi on a Mandarin version of his hit single "Water Fountain", earlier this year. Watch their duet on his YouTube channel HERE.

"The Way You Felt" follows Alec's critically acclaimed 2020 debut studio album, These Two Windows. Generating nearly half-a-billion streams in under a year, it boasts the hit singles "Jesus In LA," "Oh My God," and "Mind Is A Prison." Attracting widespread praise, People raved, "The album is a major milestone," and Stereogum christened him "A fascinating voice in modern pop." In addition to plugs from The New York Times, American Songwriter and more, Billboard noted, "The rising pop singer-songwriter succeeds in making the matter distinctive by how much his lyrics read like a heart-to-heart conversation."
