HOWIE DAY FIRST HEADLINE TOUR OF AUSTRALIA
Supports announced : SOPHIE KOH joins Tour.
The release of his second album "Stop All The World Now" (2003) felt a lot like graduation day for singer, songwriter Howie Day. "In a weird way I've come full circle," says Howie Day. "After high school, I decided to skip college, but wound up spending a lot of time touring college campuses. Four years later, I'm releasing a new record instead of getting my degree." Album number two, his first for Epic Records was produced by Youth (The Verve, Crowded House, Dido) and mixed by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, David Gray, Starsailor), Chris Lord-Alge (Goo Goo Dolls, Shawn Mullins, Eric Clapton), and Clive Goddard (Sneaker Pimps, Marianne Faithful).
"Stop All The World Now" explored Day's experiences from the road as he toured for four years as a solo artist and opened for artists like Sting, Jack Johnson, Sheryl Crow and more recently, Tori Amos. In 2000, Day independently released his self-financed debut, "Australia". Impressed by the 30,000 albums he sold simply by word of mouth, Epic Records signed Day and began distributing the album.
Day returns to Australia this summer. He was introduced to Australian audiences earlier this year as special guest on tour with Whitley where he received such an amazing response that he had to come out for his own headline shows, a mere 6 months following his first visit. Joining day for all shows is solo artist SOPHIE KOH.
Day is no stranger to the rigors of touring. When the tour with Amos ended in Frankfurt, Germany, Day moved back into his old apartment in Maine. "It was the first time in three years that I got to sleep in my own bed for more than two weeks at a time. I loved it, no schedule to keep but my own."
As Day reacquainted himself to a life without sound check, he began writing songs for Stop All The World Now, the follow up to 2000's independently released and self-financed debut, "Australia". Impressed by the 30,000 albums he sold simply by word of mouth, Epic Records signed Day and began distributing the album.
