A ‘Passenger’ On Tour

From busking on the streets to seeing his name on marquees, Mike Rosenberg – AKA Passenger – has accomplished a lot in the last four years.  Now the British singer/songwriter has his own U.S./Canada tour to do, beginning in Vancouver, British Columbia, in July.

You may have caught Passenger in the states last fall when he was opening for his friend Ed Sheeran.  Taking his name from his former band, during the past 12 months Passenger/Rosenberg also toured Australia with Sheeran and played a number of headlining dates in that country as well.  Now he’s returning to North America in support of his album All The Little Lights, released on Nettwerk in August 2012.

Passenger has accrued a considerable amount of mileage with All The Little Lights.  The album was named “Best Singer/Songwriter Album” of 2012 by iTunes U.K., and the video for the single “Let Her Go” chalked up more than 18.5 million YouTube views.
