Keeping David’s tour schedule here for easy access:
POCATELLO — Pop star David Archuleta will perform at the Portneuf Health Trust Amphitheatre on Friday night.
The gates open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets for Friday’s performance can be purchased at smithstix.com.
Archuleta found his fame at age 16 when he was the runner-up on the seventh season of “American Idol.
Archuleta didn’t always have plans to become a music artist. Throughout his childhood, he wanted to be zookeeper, a dentist and even a social worker. Even though he kept changing his mind, he always knew that he wanted to connect to people in some way.
Obviously, Archuleta didn’t become a zookeeper or a social worker, but he was able to find a special way of interacting with others.
“Music is way to connect with people,” Archuleta said. “I’ve always wanted to connect with people, to tell stories and hear peoples stories, and I get to do that through writing songs.”
Last month, Archuleta released his latest EP, Orion. The Orion EP has four new songs that were inspired by events in his life that left an impression on him.
“This new music is basically written from my journey of the last several years of my life,” Archuleta said. “From becoming an artist and performing on ‘American Idol’ to touring and making albums to then doing a complete 180 turn by going to South America to be a missionary, I have this new perspective on life and I’ve written about it.”
Archuleta plans to release one more EP before he releases a full album later this year. By releasing two EPs, he is able to get a feel for how his fans will react to his new music.
“I want my fans to like the music, but I also want to see how they feel about the story and message,” Archuleta said. “I am trying to get a feel of how people will respond and react.”
When Archuleta isn’t touring and writing music, he admits to sometimes wasting too much time watching videos on YouTube like Studio C. He also loves to find new restaurants on Yelp and try them out with friends and family.
Since his run on “Idol,” Archuleta has released seven of his own albums including an appearance as a guest star on The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s holiday album, “David Archuleta — Glad Christmas Tidings.”
“I seriously love food,” Archuleta said.
Archuleta is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and likes to show his fans all facets of his life from spiritual moments he has throughout the day to which new restaurant he recently tried out.
“My religion helps shape how I live my life and it helps give me so much fulfillment and happiness so I had to learn how to be open about all aspects of my life,” Archuleta said.
At his performance, Archuleta will perform a number of his older songs that fans will know along with some of his newer music. He will also throw in a few cover songs from famous artists throughout the last few decades.
“I want people to feel good when they listen to my music,” Archuleta said. “But I also want them to feel like they can connect to something deeper, like a deeper version of themselves and a deeper part of life. That’s really the purpose of this new music being released.”
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.

A couple of video clips from Shelley from The Bing Crosby Theatre last night!
“This” from SnowAngelz at Spokane VIP! Read the rest here!
He fielded some interesting VIP questions…
1. About the new music that’s coming (my Q…feel free to thank me later 😎) … He said he is very excited about
the next EP, which will have a retro “groovy” soulful vibe… PEOPLE, I AM BEYOND EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!!!He also said that the album will featu
re all the EP songs PLUS… I repeat… PLUS additional songs. (I was nodding and smiling and giv
ing him so many thumbs up during his answer that I’m sure I pulled a muscle).
He said he has 16 songs
he wants to release over these EPs and album. *cartwheels*
2. A lovely young lady from Idaho told him she loved Numb and wanted to know the story behind it, so he shared that.
3. A fine gentleman asked about his future goals and he
talked about how he’d live to have kids, have a family.
4. One lady gave him tissues because he was stuffy from allergies then had to ask for them back when his MLP made her cry.
5. He was asked how they travel on tour and apparently all 11 of them get cozy in one tour bus
with bunks. He stretched out his back saying the bunks weren’t 100% comfy.
6. Who would he most like to collaborate with? Tori Kelly. He loves how she can share her spirituality in pop music and stay true to who she is.
7. His fave songs to perform? Lately, Running and Higher Ground.
8. Why Say Me was pulled from the set list? Because the crowd wasn’t “vibing to it” and neither was he. 😭 we told him we love it, however.
9. Fave Ben Rector song? He asked the others if they knew Ben’s music but they didn’t so he sang a bit of Brand New and they recognized that (be still my ❤️)… his faves: Note To Self, Wildfire and I Like You.
10. Biggest challenges? Believing in himself… something he continues to struggle with.
11. Do you have a girlfriend? (NOT my Q, I swear!) He said no… “Single… but probably not for lon
g” 😂😂😂😂😂
You guyyyyys…. this guy is so worthy of all our support, ALL of it, I actually wish I had more to give… you all know this but just had to say it out loud.
And the concert was icing on a very rich, amazing cake. Gorgeous jewel box of a venue. Very enthusiastic crowd… not Portland-level hysteria but a lot of love thrown David’s way.
The acoustics on the ballads were incredible… every tender nuance warm and crystal clear. I’m Ready, Heaven, Scars, Forevermore, Broken, He Lives in You, were the highlights for me…def check out Shelley’s vids…I know she took them because Ref & I were blessed to sit between her and the lovely Tina… apparently the lady behind us said she was quite entertained by us all all night, lol. hmm.. lol me thinks David is being cagey.. now one thing that sounds great is the soulful retro groovy songs coming our way!

David Archuleta concert tonight at the Rogue Theatre, Grant Pass Oregon, CA Get tickets > HERE!
Description
In 1938, the year the Rogue first opened, the theatre was a beacon of the American Spirit. In its heyday, the Rogue offered Rogue Valley residents a place to escape from the daily struggle of life during the depression, a place to experience the wonders of the latest cinema technology and a place for the community to come together – for first dates, birthdays and community celebrations.
Today, the Theatre is still a special place in the hearts and minds of Rogue Valley citizens; special to both longtime residents and newcomers alike because it stands as a proud symbol of Southern Oregon’s history, serves as a powerful catalyst for downtown economic revitalization and provides a venue for a diverse array of arts and cultural events that celebrate the human spirit, bringing people of all ages together to be entertained and inspired.
