Michael Buble plots first leg of fall trek

Michael Buble has revealed initial dates for an upcoming late-year US tour as he continues to back last year's Grammy-winning "Call Me Irresponsible."

The Canadian big band/traditional singer will kick off the run Oct. 1 in Baltimore. The schedule shows five dates in October, with additional shows to be added later in Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, according to Buble's website.

Tickets for the currently announced shows go on sale to the public beginning today (8/15). Dates are included below.

Buble continues to support last year's "Call Me Irresponsible," his third studio album, which which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 1 in its second week on the charts. The set earned the singer his first Grammy award in February, when the set was honored as Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Consisting of standards including "I've Got the World on a String," "The Best is Yet to Come" and a gospel version of Frank Sinatra's "That's Life," the album also includes covers of Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" and Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," as well as two originals, including the Buble-penned radio hit "Everything," which is streaming on the artist's MySpace page.

Buble's latest album follows his 2005 platinum-seller, "It's Time," which remained on Billboard's Traditional Jazz chart for two years and won four Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys).
