Next week, Canadian country music superstar Paul Brandt embarks on the second leg of his cross-country NOW tour that, in a month’s time, will bring him to Penticton.
Building on the success of the first leg of the tour, which took Brandt to 17 Canadian cities in late 2011, the tour will now take in another 14 cities in Ontario and the Maritimes starting Feb. 1. But in March, Brandt switches to Western Canada, touring another nine cities starting with Penticton on Mar. 1.
The NOW tour features music from Brandt’s latest album, Give It Away, as well as fan favourites recorded over the past 15 years.
“The second leg of the NOW tour will allow me to continue to connect with my fans and friends across the country, which is one of the reasons why I love performing,” said Brandt. “Whether it’s the smaller, more intimate shows in February, or the larger production of the March shows, fans will experience my music like never before.”
Give It Away was named the Canadian Country Album of the Year 2011 by iTunes Rewind. Brandt also successfully had hockey and country music fans rocking to a new anthem in late 2011, after I Was There was selected as the title song of the recent 2012 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship tournament.
Also recently released, The NOW box set is a milestone for Brandt after 15 years of recording and international touring, a collection of all his Brand-T albums as well as Give It Away and a retrospective DVD.
Tickets for the March 1 show at the South Okanagan Events Centre can be purchased at the SOEC box office, the Wine Country Visitor Centre, online at www.ValleyFirstTix.com or by phone at 1-877-763-2849.
