The Tenors, Canada’s multi-platinum, Juno award-winning vocal group have added Penticton to Under One Sky, their 70-city North American tour.
The tour kicks off in Ontario on Sept. 16, and gets to Penticton to play at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Oct. 3.
The tour announcement coincides with the upcoming release of the group’s fourth studio album, Under One Sky, due out on May 4 for The Tenors, who boast multiple No. 1 Billboard Classical Crossover albums.
Under One Sky is a 13-track album combining a mix of originals alongside new interpretations of familiar favourites. Highlighting their signature blend of classical and contemporary pop, the record includes the popular hits Lean On Me (Bill Withers) and Who Wants To Live Forever (Queen) as well as the soaring original title track Under One Sky and the inspirational New Day’s Begun. The foursome dedicates the classic Joe Cocker track You Are So Beautiful to their mothers and all mothers around the world, while My Father’s Son pays universal homage to dads. A deluxe edition will offer fans three bonus tracks plus a group version of You Are So Beautiful.
In March, The Tenors taped their next PBS TV special, also entitled Under One Sky, expected to begin airing in June.
“This music is our most exciting and most diverse we’ve recorded to date,” according to the group’s press release. “We are so thrilled to be sharing this.”
Collaborating with The Tenors on Under One Sky are Grammy award- winning producer David Foster (Michael Bublé, Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli), renowned producer Bob Ezrin (Kiss, Pink Floyd, Johnny Reid, Alice Cooper) and Grammy award-winning producer Keith Thomas (Gladys Knight, Blake Shelton).
Over the past several years, The Tenors have been selling out concerts across Canada, the U.S. and the UK and have performed over 500 live shows on five continents.
Their TV appearances – over 150 worldwide – include Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, Oprah (with Celine Dion), The Prime Time Emmy Awards, ITV’s Diamond Jubilee Show for Her Majesty, the Queen and many more.
