Performer Info
Demi Lovato:
Demetria Devonne "Demi" Lovato (born August 20, 1992) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her role as Mitchie Torres in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Camp Rock. Besides acting, she is also pursuing a solo music career and has released her debut album Don't Forget which came out September 23, 2008. The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 selling over 89,000 copies in the first week
Adam Lambert: An American singer-songwriter and stage actor. Born in Indianapolis but raised in San Diego, Lambert had dreamed of becoming a performer after appearing in numerous amateur productions in his childhood and adolescence. His passion overtook him when deciding to drop out of college, pursue his career, and perform in various professional theatrical productions across the world.
Lambert came to prominence following his appearance on the eighth season of American Idol. Although he was runner-up, Lambert launched a music career after signing with 19 Recordings in a joint venture with RCA Records. The release of his debut studio album For Your Entertainment (2009) proved notable after debuting at number three on the Billboard 200, selling 198,000 copies in the United States in its first week, and reaching the top ten in several countries worldwide. His achievement on the album led to international success for its singles "For Your Entertainment", "Whataya Want from Me" and "If I Had You"; the release of an extended play Acoustic Live! (2010) and a live album Glam Nation Live (2011); and allowed him to embark on his first headlining worldwide concert tour, Glam Nation, making him the only American Idol contestant to do so in the year following his Idol season. He is currently working on his second studio album Trespassing (March, 2012), which was preceded by lead single "Better Than I Know Myself" (December, 2011).
Influenced by a number of artists before him, Lambert has become recognized for his flamboyant, theatrical and androgynous performance style. He has accrued numerous awards, received a 2011 Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and had sold (as of January, 2011) 1.2 million albums and 4.2 million singles worldwide. The Times identified Lambert as the first openly gay mainstream pop artist to launch a career on a major label in the United States, while The LA Times ranked him 5th in their list of the top 120 American Idol contestants.
Owl City: It's hard to believe that just a few years ago, Adam Young - the brainchild behind the synthpop project Owl City - was professionally loading trucks in Minnesota. Owl City is characterized by a bold new electronica style that features motivated beats and an ethereal air. The multi-instrumentalist has been lighting up the electronica scene since the release of his first major label album, Ocean Eyes, in 2009. While watching just one man playing music on a machine would get tedious, Owl City has a band joining Young onstage for tour dates that have become more and more popular each month. With the momentum that Owl City has made recently, anticipation for Young's newest album and tour dates has reached a fever pitch. All Things Bright and Beautiful is set to release on June 14, while Owl City has a number of 2011 concert dates set to begin the day before.
Adam Young was born on July 5, 1986, in Owatonna, Minnesota. Living in his parents' basement, the devout Christian had a number of small jobs before he developed a case of insomnia from loading trucks. Looking to occupy the lonely hours, Young began experimenting with different styles of electronic music. Adam began posting the songs he created onto his MySpace page; the tracks soon became hugely popular, prompting the artist to independently record and release the EP, Of June, in 2007 and the full album, Maybe I'm Dreaming, in 2008. The albums were a surprise success, with Of June reaching #20 on the Billboard Electronic Albums chart, and Maybe I'm Dreaming reaching #16.
The popularity of the albums caught the eye of record label Universal Republic, which quickly signed the artist/project. Owl City's major label debut came in 2009 with the release of Ocean Eyes. The album has become a huge commercial success since its release, thanks largely in part to the monumental single, "Fireflies". The album features guest vocals from Chinese electronic artist Yuan, as well as the singing talents of Relient K singer Matthew Thiessen. The album did amazingly on music charts worldwide, but nowhere more so than in the US, reaching #8 on Billboard's 200 and #1 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic, Top Rock, and Alternative Albums charts.
Fans can't wait to see what Adam Young has in store for them on Owl City's newest release, All Things Bright and Beautiful. They also can't wait to see Owl City on its summer tour dates, alongside fellow musicians Unwed Sailor and Matt Kearney. The 2011 concert dates will begin a day before the album's release, June 13, in Nashville. Tour dates will primarily travel through major Eastern U.S. cities, with limited stops in western states like Denver, Oregon, Texas, and California. The last tour date will be on July 30 in Adam Young's native state of Minnesota; St. Paul to be exact. Since the 2011 tour dates don't quite last two months, and the tour is only making stops in larger cities, fans should check for tickets soon to catch Owl City in their area.
