Musician/actor and American Idol alum David Cook announces first performances with a full band in over a year to support his upcoming EP The Looking Glass (out April 16, 2021).
The online shows will be broadcast on concert live streaming platform Mandolin from Ocean Way Studios in Nashville. He will perform three shows: Sunday, April 18th, The Looking Glass EP release show; Sunday, May 2nd, a fundraiser to benefit The National Brain Tumor Society; and Sunday, May 16th, an extended set highlighting his new songs and additional music from his catalog. All shows to begin at 7 pm CT.
David is also happy to announce the U.S. leg of his 2021 tour beginning September 11th in Cincinnati and continuing to the Northeast before wrapping in Columbus, OH on September 25th. It will be followed by his previously announced co-headline tour with fellow American Idol winner Kris Allen billed as “Dave & Kris Go to Europe Acoustic Tour” scheduled for October 2021.
The Looking Glass EP is a six-song set recorded in Nashville with producer Andy Skib, set to be released on April 16, 2021 with live stream and tour dates to follow.
In 2020, David released two singles from the EP. The first, “Reds Turn Blue,” a nod to the manic highs (reds) and lows (blues) of anxiety, something David has struggled to overcome since his season seven win on American Idol. And the second, “Strange World,” is “my homage to this year,” said David. “Staring out of windows at the world outside, feeling disconnected from it, and trying to find those moments that would normally exist outside, inside.” The third single, the rhythmic “Fire” dropped on March 19.
