Evanescence Announce 2007 U.S. Dates Tour Begins March 16, 2007 In Fresno, CA
New York --- Evanescence has announced the second leg of U.S. dates on
their World Tour. The rock group, featuring Amy Lee (vocals, piano,
keyboard), Terry Balsamo (guitar), John LeCompt (guitar), Rocky Gray
(drums), and Tim McCord (bass), will perform 14 dates in arenas. Tickets are now on sale.
The tour kicks off in
Fresno, CA on March 16, 2007 and runs across the U.S. with the final show
scheduled for April 5, 2007 in Glens Falls, NY. Chevelle and Finger Eleven
will join Evanescence on this tour. A complete list of shows announced
today is listed below. Evanescence is also planning a third U.S. leg
which will bring the band to arenas in major markets in the late
spring/early summer.
On October 3, 2006 the band released the much-anticipated album, The Open
Door on Wind-up Records. To date, 1,471,834 copies have been purchased
in just fifteen weeks. Evanescence's second studio album followed its
debut Fallen, and the live DVD/CD Anywhere But Home. Combined, those
two titles have sold in excess of fifteen million copies worldwide.
The Open Door is the ideal showcase for the band's inevitable personal
and professional growth, with songs of introspection, longing, doubt,
self-respect and ultimately, empowerment and anticipation. Several
songs include a choir, as well as strings recorded in an old chapel.
The album is defined by Amy Lee's beautiful melodies, profound lyrics,
stunning vocals and poignant piano, which fuse with Terry Balsamo's
urgent, yet intricate guitar playing, to form a remarkable, ethereal
blend perfectly rooted in the band's rock and classical sensibilities
offering up its signature sound. Lyrically, Amy Lee has delivered a
passionate, empowered album.
Evanescence experienced a meteoric rise to the top with its Fallen
release. The two Top Ten Singles "Bring Me To Life" and "My Immortal,"
two Grammy Awards in 2003 (Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock
Performance for "Bring Me To Life"), a run of over one hundred weeks on
Billboard Magazine's Top 200 chart, gold or platinum certification in
over 35 countries and sold-out arenas globally are some of the
accomplishments that fueled this arrival as one of the most important
bands in rock.
