The 360 Degrees Of Josh Groban

Josh Groban won’t be cutting any corners when the singer/actor/songwriter embarks on his fall journey.  The “In The Round Tour” will place the stage smack dab in the middle of arenas to give his fans 360 degrees of intimacy.

With dates beginning in early October, Groban plans to give fans a show spanning his 12-year career and building upon his 2011 “Straight Into You” outing by bringing that tour’s theatre closeness to arenas.

“It has been a vision of mine to do a tour in the round for a while now, it was just a matter of when was the right time,” Groban said.  “I have always had moments during the show where I walked through the crowd and interacted with the fans.  I felt that now was the time to bring it all together.  I can’t wait to bring music from throughout my career, great fun and new experiences to my fans.”

Backing Groban will be an ensemble of world-class musicians featuring bassist Andre Manga, Ruslan Siorta on keyboards, percussionist Pete Korpela, music director/guitarist Tarique Akoni, Dave DiCenso on drums, violinist Christian Habel and trumpeter Daniel Rosenboom.  Groban will also be joined by local choirs and orchestras on each stop.
