American Idol Winner David Cook Announces Fall Tour

Singer-songwriter and American Idol Winner David Cook has announced he will kick-off an acoustic tour this fall in St. Louis, MO on October 25. Tickets go on-sale Thursday, July 12. (visit davidcookofficial.com/events for tickets and info).

The tour will weave throughout the southeast and hit other major markets like Boston, Washington DC, Philadelphia and New York City. It'll be a chance for fans to experience an up-close, intimate evening with David, as he performs songs from his brand-new EP, CHROMANCE, as well as other hits from his catalog. The EP, which was released earlier this year, features all new material that was written over the past year and includes an ethereal mid-tempo spin on the Phil Collins classic, Another Day in Paradise.

If launching a tour and putting out a brand new EP wasn't enough to keep Cook busy; this past April, he made his Broadway debut as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and had the time of his life (no pun intended). David is now set to reprise his performance in the starring role from July 17 through September 9 (tickets available at kinkybootsthemusical.com).

"I am so honored and excited to get to come back to the factory! Kinky Boots is such a great show, made all the better by having an incredible cast, crew, and staff, and I can't wait to help tell the story again!"

CHROMANCE is available now through all digital retailers, including iTunes, Amazon and Google Play (view the official lyric video for David's latest single: Gimme Heartbreak).
