Experience the magic of Josh Groban live in concert! The acclaimed pop and classical singer is set to embark on his 2011 "Straight to You" world tour, supporting his latest platinum-certified album, "Illuminations." This tour marks Groban's first full-scale international tour since 2007, promising an unforgettable blend of theater ambiance and arena spectacle.
Josh Groban's musical journey began in the 7th grade, but it wasn't until he joined the Interlochen Arts Program that his talent truly started to shine. In late 1998, Groban's life took a pivotal turn when he met David Foster, a renowned producer, writer, and arranger, through his vocal coach.
Groban's early career was marked by high-profile performances, including the California gubernatorial inauguration of Gray Davis and the Grammy Awards, where he rehearsed "The Prayer" with Celine Dion, filling in for Andrea Bocelli. His big break came when he was accepted into the theater division of Carnegie Mellon University but chose to pursue a recording contract with Warner Bros. under Foster's 143 imprint instead.
Josh Groban's self-titled debut album was released in November 2001 and quickly catapulted him to stardom. The album went double platinum, and Groban's popularity soared with his own PBS special in November 2002. He performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, and joined a star-studded holiday performance at the Vatican in Rome.
In November 2003, Groban released his second album, "Closer," which reached the number one spot on the Billboard album charts just two months later. His third studio album, "Awake," released in 2006, featured collaborations with Ladysmith Black Mambazo and jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. The holiday-themed "Noel" followed in 2007, and "Awake Live" was released in 2008.
In 2010, Groban teamed up with renowned music producer Rick Rubin for his fifth studio album, "Illuminations." This album showcased a more Americana-influenced sound and received critical acclaim.
On Valentine's Day 2011, Josh Groban announced his "Straight to You" world tour, supporting his album "Illuminations." This tour marks his first full-scale international tour since 2007's "Awake" tour. According to his record label, the new show promises to bring the intimacy of a theater experience to an arena setting through innovative stage design, lighting, and projection, as well as spontaneity and interactivity.
Groban is expected to perform a mix of material from his self-titled debut, "Closer," "Awake," and "Illuminations." Fans can look forward to hearing favorites from his bestselling albums, including "To Where You Are," "The Prayer," and "You Raise Me Up."
Josh Groban's 2011 "Straight to You" world tour is set to be a spectacular event, blending the intimacy of a theater experience with the grandeur of an arena show. With a setlist featuring hits from his illustrious career, this tour promises to be a must-see for fans of the acclaimed pop and classical singer.
