David Archuleta is coming back to Idaho for a concert, featuring Nathan Pacheco.
They will be performing in Pocatello at the Portneuf Health Trust Amphitheatre on Friday, June 16 at 8 p.m.
On Wednesday, two days before the concert in Pocatello, he was enjoying his day off by traveling and resting at truck stops. For weeks, he said he has been practicing his songs on a daily basis with very few breaks.
Archuleta’s newest EP, Orion, was released on May 19, according to davidarchuleta.com. He said he plans to perform some well-known songs from his previous projects and old albums, songs from his new EP and a new song which has not been released yet.
“The song I’ll be singing that I haven’t released yet is a preview of what is yet to be released,” Archuleta said.
He said he is releasing his next EP within a month or so, then he is releasing an album later this year.
Archuleta said he wants to come closer to God through his tour, so he likes to start every concert and writing session with a prayer.
“I remember one time a (songwriter said) that with the twenty years (he’s) been in the business, (he’s) never started a writing session with a prayer,” Archuleta said. “He said that was special.”
He then asked the writer if he wanted to say a prayer to end the session. He said the writer said he did not think he knew how to pray. Archuleta said he told him to say what was in his heart.
“He bowed his head, and he just started talking to God and thanking Him,” Archuleta said. “Afterwards, he was like, ‘I have goosebumps.’”
One of Archuleta’s greatest motivations for creating his new music has been the experiences he has had over the past seven years of his life.
Archuleta said, “After coming back from my mission in Chile, I had such a new perspective on everything.”
Orion, in specific, is a showcase of the perspective he has gained over the years.
He said these new songs are full of things he wants people to know. He has hopes that his songs will inspire people to stay strong because there have been times when he has felt not good enough or not known how to move forward.
Archuleta said he thinks those at BYU-Idaho may feel like they are not good enough and that his songs from Orion will help students to remember their worth. Sometimes students feel pressured to be perfect and that they cannot show any weakness because Christ said to be perfect.
“Christ said to be whole, to be complete,” Archuleta said. “He didn’t say that you can’t be flawed.”
Archuleta said he is coming to Pocatello because he has been there before and enjoyed connecting with audience members of the southeastern Idaho region.
“I want people to leave feeling better and lighter—feeling better about themselves and feeling motivated to keep moving forward in life,” Archuleta said.
Archuleta’s first single “Crush,” debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week the singe released. Archuleta’s first album, “David Archuleta,” went gold, and sold more than 750,000 copies in the U.S. and more than 900,000 copies worldwide.

Thanks bebereader! A nice interview this morning… David seemed a little like he’d like to still be sleeping 😉 .
Those cloudy skies and wind look a little ominous. I hope the weather is good for the show tonight.
Fenfan … let’s hope really hard that there is video tonight!! Isn’t he supposed to sing a new song tonight? I know what the camera police are like in Layton (tomorrow night), yet Shelley was able to get some vids the last time. *fingers crossed
Yay! Layton tomorrow night!!! 🙂

Those interviews are usually in the early am and he usually sounds sleepy. So happy for him that he is doing it “his way”. He can do it any old way he wants as long as he keeps singing! ☺

Forevermore is my favourite. But I prefer the version he did when he first sang it in 2015 (?) – the time when he wore a jacket with a scarf.
This time round he kind of pauses at the wrong places (to me) and seems to have a bit of a problem holding the last “forevermore”. Maybe he should stand while singing it. I don’t know whether that would help. I’m just shooting my mouth off and nitpicking.
Nonetheless, it’s still beautiful and it makes me hold my breath, clutch my heart and swoon a little.
I hope that I can hear him sing this live one day.

Welcome home Bluesky, glad you had a safe trip.
I love Forevermore. I have listened to the cd version a million times and heard him sing it live too. This live version is great to me too. 🙂 Fenfan, it is beautiful and we all do a little nitpicking once in awhile! 🙂 I wish he would sing some more songs from that cd…like Tell Me. That album is one of my favorites.
Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers and grandpas. There is a photo of David and Jeff and his dad on FB but it won’t let me bring it over. But it’s a great one.

Layton was awesome! A very energetic crowd (my hubby even commented on that) and David was in Utah! It was a gorgeous night for an outdoor concert. David got a little emotional a couple of times and laughed about it. He couldn’t figure out why he gets that way when he performs in Layton. But, he kind of surmised that it was because this crowd has been so supportive of him, when they could have turned their backs on him because of his first concert dates there when he didn’t have a voice. Like we’d even think of doing that!! Really, David, you sell yourself short when you think those kinds of thoughts. It was soooo good to see Dayzee again!! She had her daughter-in-law with her, for her first David concert! Yup! She’s a keeper for a DIL … she’s a David people! 🙂 ♥♥
Anyway, Shelley’s videos will sell you on the show … just in case you may have been wondering if it was any good or not. jk
Oh yeah! If you want to forget about the pain in your back and neck, or anywhere else, go to a @DavidArchie concert and it will be gone for a couple of hours! 😀 I promise!! 😀

So I took my daughter-in-law to Layton for her first David concert. She has some major health problems and it is not easy for her to get out for so long a time. I was committed to showing her a great time. Yeah. As soon as David was on stage I got kind of lost. When the concert was over and we were getting in the car she asked, “Can we play some David music on the way home?” So I extracted the Justin Beiber cd and put in one of David’s. Haha. Just kidding.
Conversation on the drive home:
DIL: You know what I like most about David? He is so sincere. You can tell these songs mean a lot to him and he sings from his heart.
Me: Yes, he sure does.
DIL: You know what I like most about David? His voice control. He is amazing with that.
Know what I like most about David? He’s so clean in every way. He wore white shoes that looked like thay had never touched the ground. And ;you just knew he was never going to say anything that would make you feel
uncomfortable.
Know what is great about David? His song selections. Every song is beautiful, but every song is different. None of that music that just sounds like a lot of noise.
Did you notice David’s energy? He just kept singing and singing and never slowed down.
Have you ever really looked at David’s eyes? I just couldn’t stop. They are so compelling.
(I am thinking I have heard these thoughts before somewhere, but so cool to hear them all with the freshness of a new fan)
DIL: Did you see me dancing? David is such a leader. When he says to get up and dance, we get up and dance. I haven’t done moves like that in a loooong time.
Me: Well, did you have a good time?
DIL To tell the truth, I was blown away. I think it is possible that a David concert could be a life-changing experience. He is so uplifting and inspires me to do better with my life.
David was singing Bridge Over Troubled Waters on the CD. No conversation until the last not was sung. DIL: I wish I could see him sing that song. Maybe someday.
I want to thank all those fans who came over and talked to my DIL. Every one was so nice and made her feel welcome. Tawna and Jenny and Gwen and a dozen more. She mentioned to me that she thought all David fans were special people. Of course we are 🙂

Dayzee,
You give that DIL of yours a big huge hug from Tawna and let her know that it’s so great to know a new fan. 🙂 Like I said above… she’s a keeper — and not just as a fan, but as a DIL. I’d take her in a heartbeat! ♥♥
It is fun to see people become converted. Just as the concert was starting, the lady sitting next to me asked me if I’d seen David before. My response — ‘Oh yeah! We’ve traveled to see him!! She laughed and stated that this was the first time for her and her husband. She quickly became engaged in David and his music and his ‘commands’ to stand and dance and jump. We didn’t do any talking other than that, but I could tell she was in a good place. 🙂
I’m still hoping that a picture surfaces of David in front of the screen with the big, red word LOVE on it. I think it was when he was talking about HOLT and introducing ‘Broken’. By the time it registered in my brain that I’d like that photo, and I got my phone out, it had changed. (That’s why I don’t take pictures …. I’m enjoying the view on stage so much that I forget to take a picture until it’s too late.
).
Anyway, it was a great night. ♥♥

Dja, boo hoo, so far I don’t have a turn yet! 🙂 But I really enjoy all of what you all bring from his concerts to us that can’t go. David just has that “it” that we can’t get enough of. He has a magnet some where in that body of his that draws us to him. 🙂 It still amazes me that he still sings so beautifully with only one vocal chord!

That David IG was so much fun. When he asks why we are still watching I thought there was nothing I would rather be doing.
That pic of the empty stage at Portneuf brought a lump to my throat. It made me think of David talking about giving up on his music career. All of those David venues would have been empty stages. How great to scroll down thru all the following pics and videos of David on that same stage. Yayy!
Between the Portneuf and the Layton concerts I spent a little time finding the grave of my great aunt who was one of my favorite people when I was growing up. I found it in a tiny cemetery in Inkom, Idaho. An idyllic site
like a picture postcard with rolling green hills, tall pines, purple mountains and a blue sky with wispy white clouds. A beautiful place for Aunt Necha. When she was 30 she moved to Idaho for her health. She lived 102 years so it must have worked for her. On the drive to Layton I was in that euphoric place between 2 David concerts. Still high from the one the night before and looking forward to another one. I was so happy thinking of my aunt and David when I noticed other motorists were not pleased with me. I found I was driving almost 40 miles an hour on an 80 MPH freeway. Always a surprise to find not everyone is not as contented as me.
Dja, so excited for you. It will be great to get your report. I’ll be thinking of you.

A couple of things from Pocatello VIP. Someone asked if he would do a Christmas tour this year and he told us he was thinking of doing Christmas tours just every other year. Kari jumped in and said he might be popping up in places though. So, no tour but some “popping up”?
Tuacahn was another thing that was mentioned. When I saw his usual time (first weekend in November) was filled with The Piano Guys I went to the Tuacahn office and asked them if there was a chance David would perform there this year. I was told no chance. Someone in the back of the room said, “There’s another one asking about Archuleta.” In Pocatello we asked David if he would return to Tuacahn and he said the last three times they had asked him to appear. He said if they asked him again he would go because he loved it there.
Big night tonight at the Troubadour! I will be there in spirit. Love to everyone who attends and shares.
