Andy Grammer is approaching the release of his fourth album and has a two-month tour to promote the new tunes.
The new dates begin at House of Blues in San Diego Sept. 2 and continue until Nov. 1 at House of Blues in Boston. If you didn’t notice the pattern yet, there are five other Live Nation-owned House of Blues venues on the routing, including in Chicago, Cleveland, Orlando, New Orleans and Dallas.
Other venues on the routing include AEG’s Ogden Theatre in Denver Sept. 18 and The Wiltern in Los Angeles. The full routing is listed at the bottom of this article.
Tickets to the show are available now.
Grammer’s fourth album, Naïve, is set to hit physical and digital shelves July 26. He performed the album’s lead single “Don’t Give Up On Me” with the PS22 Chorus of Public School 22 in New York in a video that has since received tens of millions of views.
Grammer has been touring North American clubs for years and a highlight from last year was his show at the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center in Westhampton Beach, N.Y., June 29, which grossed $55,770 and sold 382 tickets. He also grossed $36,363 at 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., April 10, 2018, reporting 1,173 tickets sold.
His manager, Ben Singer of SMG Entertainment, spoke to Pollstar in 2017 about Grammer’s trifecta of performances at the Orange Bowl, the Tournament of Roses and Times Square New Year’s Eve.
“I think what I love about his live show is that he’s just such good friends with everybody that’s in his band and there’s a chemistry that people can really feel in the audience,” Singer said. “Because you can go to a show and someone’s band sounds tight but when you go to a show and their band sounds tight and it looks like they’re all really having a lot of fun, it makes you want to have a lot of fun. And I think that’s what’s exciting about Andy’s shows. It’s almost just like people hanging out, playing music.”
