Beautiful post! I’m happy for those who can get to a show this summer.

My games are just for fun, no monetary benefit. I play Everquest ( since 2000) and World of Warcraft ( since 2006). Player friends come and go, but I have a core group of guys that I can usually count on.
Jenny! I’m so excited tambien!!!!!! (toooo) lol I’ll be talking piano to you soon 🙂
Tawna, Thank you 🙂
Abrra, Thank you for the names, I’ll be checking them out soon.
I’ve been loads busy prepping for that thing called “retirement” lol For me it’s just a transition period for new experiences, new opportunities, and learning new things like the piano and gaming. Any other suggestions???
Hi Jans, we try but life real and not sometimes interferes haha.
Abrra, David is a gamer like you!!!
And thanks for bringing that interview over. I love David interviews!
I checked the Red Bluff city social media mentions of David’s concert and he wasn’t on the calendar with the other concerts. So I emailed them. I received a response and they have added David to their city facebook and website :)))))
So far the others I’ve checked have him listed. Have a few to go still 🙂
These three kids are so stinkin’ in love with each other (not in a creepy way)!! What a great thing to have between siblings!! ♥♥♥ Sounds like maybe Amber is going to be the merch table chief again. 🙂
From what I could hear and see, David’s first concert was great…as usual! The sound was static and sounded like it was under water at times, but it was better than nothing. 🙂
Hope there will be some videos come out tomorrow. ♥
Having trouble sleeping 😌 David keeping up all night lol. Watched the periscope and I’m one happy camper! Thank you Deb for the link! I heard songs I never expected to hear, Broken, Running, Nothing Else Better To Do, the Scars Beatiful song, what?! And he sounds fantabulous!!!!! Now to try to get some sleep 😴
Jan
I thought the sound was great on Periscope. Janey save us with her filming for sure 🙂 There is a concert length MP3 in the Candy jar. Her battery died near the end of the encore, but we got Up all Night. I’ll be adding content as the tour progresses.
Thank you so much Janey for holding up your phone for one and a half hours so we can watch the concert.
He was fabulous! I loved the medley of old songs and Forevermore and all the new ones and oh just everything he sang! Never stop, David. Please.
(Nashville, Tenn.) June 1, 2017 — On May 19, David Archuleta, released Orion, the first of three
EP projects the platinum-selling pop star co-wrote, and will release before the end of the year. In support of this new music, he’ll kick off a 15-city headlining tour at State Theatre in Red Bluff, California.
About his new music, David says, “After American Idol, I never took the time to slow down and think about who I was,” the singer says. “People wanted me to work in an adult world without growing up. … When I went on my mission, it was the first time that I took the time to say, ‘Who am I? What do I want?’
The result is, Orion; the first album David has co-written and recorded as an adult, which has already received over 1.6 million streams on Spotify, sold more than 10,000 singles and over 1,000 EPs in its first few days.
“This is a new beginning,” he explains excitedly. “I’ve never felt so intrinsically fulfilled and electrified by my own music. “It’s not just taking another chance with music, it’s taking another chance on myself.”
I’m a numbers person so I can’t help myself 🙂 Great numbers for an Indie artist who doesn’t like to do much promo.
Orion
1.6 million streams on spotify
Sold more than 10,000 singles
Sold over 1,000 EP’s in first few days.
And this:
“This is a new beginning,” he explains excitedly. “I’ve never felt so intrinsically fulfilled and electrified by my own music. “It’s not just taking another chance with music, it’s taking another chance on myself.”
David Archuleta Announces ‘Orion’ West Coast Tour Dates – Get Them Here!
David Archuleta has returned with one of the best EPs we’ve ever heard.
The former American Idol runner-up took a long break from music for a mission and returned with four amazing songs that you’re going to want on your playlist right away.
“This is a new beginning,” David shared about the EP. “I’ve never felt so intrinsically fulfilled and electrified by my own music.”
He adds, “It’s not just taking another chance with music, it’s taking another chance on myself.”
Listen to the EP below and find out all of David‘s tour dates inside!
I thoroughly enjoyed this concert from beginning to end. The setlist combined old and new songs and some from in between. It’s a long time fan’s dream to hear David sing even a medley of the old songs. To hear My Hands, Nothing Else Better To Do and Running again was a dream come true! David’s voice stayed strong as he delivered nearly twenty songs!
If he could be this good on the very first show on the tour, imagine how he will sound by the time he comes to my neck of the woods on the East Coast!
But of everything that I’ve read about the tour and I’ve read all I could find, the one thing that keeps playing over and over in my head is this, from the Center Stage press release, and I know it’s been quoted twice here already but it bears repeating. I’ve never heard David sound more satisfied with himself and it sure sounds good.
“This is a new beginning,” he explains excitedly. “I’ve never felt so intrinsically fulfilled and electrified by my own music. “It’s not just taking another chance with music, it’s taking another chance on myself.”
