Sheryl Crow to mount four-city tour in January
Singer/songwriter Sheryl Crow will continue to back her September release, "Wildflower," with a winter mini-tour that will make stops in four cities, and will raise money for UNICEF.
Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago and Nashville will all receive visits from Crow, who will take the stage backed by her regular band--guitarists Tim Smith and Peter Stroud, drummer Shawn Pelton, and keyboardist Mike Rowe--as well as the David Campbell String Section.
Tickets for all four shows go on sale between Friday (12/9) and Monday (12/12), according to organizers. Details are shown in the itinerary below.
Regular-priced tickets will be available via Ticketmaster, while special VIP ticket packages will be sold through ILoveAllAccess.com. (Ticketmaster is liveDaily's parent company.)
The premium ticket packages will include an opportunity to attend Crow's soundcheck and pre-show parties. Crow will donate to the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF 100-percent of her proceeds from the sale of the packages, according to a press release.The organization supports UNICEF programs that provide lifesaving assistance to children caught in humanitarian emergencies.
Crow's January mini-tour follows a short October outing during which she raised $50,000 for UNICEF, according to Interscope Records.
"Wildflower," which is the follow-up to 2002's "C'mon C'mon," features the hit single "Good is Good." On Thursday (12/8), the new disc was nominated for a Grammy in the Pop Vocal Album category, and "Good is Good" picked up a nod for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
A nine-time Grammy winner, Crow is also in contention for the Best Country Collaboration with Vocals trophy for "Building Bridges," a song from country duo Brooks & Dunn's "Hillbilly Deluxe" that also features Vince Gill.
The 48th annual Grammy Awards ceremony will take place Feb. 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and will air live on CBS-TV.
Crow has sold a worldwide total of about 25 million records, according to her label. That tally comprises sales of her previous four studio albums, as well as her 2003 greatest-hits collection.
