LeAnn Rimes springs into tour mode
LeAnn Rimes has added more dates to her schedule, which has the country/pop singer playing a handful of spring shows in North America before diving into summer.
Rimes' next few stops are two-night stands, beginning with a doubleheader in West Wendover, NV, this weekend, and followed by double shots in Las Vegas and Rama, Ontario next month. The summer will see the crossover star play venues from coast to coast, including a number of festivals, fairs and casinos. Though a performance date has not yet been set, Rimes is confirmed for the June 7-10 CMA Music Festival, according to her website.
So far, the singer's itinerary stretches into mid-October. Details are below.
Rimes released her ninth studio album, "Whatever We Wanna," last summer. The set, which follows 2005's gold-certified "This Woman," sticks close to the middle ground between country and pop. A few songs from the record are streaming at Rimes' website and MySpace page.
The singer is currently nominated for CMT Music Video Female Artist of the Year for the song "Some People" off of "This Woman." Another song from the album, "Something's Gotta Give," was up for a Grammy last month in the Best Female Country Vocal Performance category.
Rimes, 24, launched her recording career at the age of seven, and has sold 37 million albums to date, according to her bio. Her major-label debut, "Blue," made her a star at age 13 and earned her two Grammy awards.
In addition to music, Rimes has made a name for herself as a children's-book author, an actress and a philanthropist.
