Vanessa Carlton Announces 'Haunted Club Tour' in Support of Highly Anticipated New Album, Heroes & Thieves
Album In Stores October 9th, Tour Kicks off November 2nd in Scottsdale, AZ
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Three-time Grammy nominee/multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton has announced her upcoming “Haunted Club Tour” in support of her highly anticipated new album, Heroes & Thieves. The much-buzzed-about record arrives in stores on October 9th on The Inc./Universal Motown Records. Carlton will kick off the tour at Martin Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ on November 2nd.
Carlton’s set list will include fan favorites and radio hits, as well as her new single, “Nolita Fairytale,” the video for which is garnering heavy rotation on VH1. The stunning lead track introduces the record, which was co-produced by Linda Perry (Gwen Stefani, Pink), Carlton, Stephan Jenkins (Third Eye Blind front man) and Irv “Gotti” Lorenzo (CEO of The Inc. Records). Among the album’s many highlights are the achingly beautiful break-up song “My Best,” the alluring ballad “Home,” and “The One,” which features guest vocals by legendary singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks. “She really changed my life. I found my mentor,” Carlton says of Nicks, with whom she has toured with several times.
Carlton made her mark in 2002 with her debut disc Be Not Nobody, an album that resonated with audiences of all ages, especially the hit piano single “A Thousand Miles,” which reached the Top 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles chart. She went on to earn 2003 Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist (“A Thousand Miles”). Her second album, 2004’s Harmonium, which yielded the single “White Houses,” continued to inspire an increasingly loyal fan base and garnered some the best reviews of her career.
“People tell me my songs are a little weird or unconventional, but in a good way, and I like that,” says Carlton. “I really wanted the new album to be the one you want to wake up to on a Sunday morning and listen to over and over.”
