NEWS: Jesse Labelle heads to Halifax!
With the release of
his sophomore album Two (August 7th via Wax Records) under his belt, Toronto singer-songwriter Jesse Labelle is more than ready to get back out on tour and bring his heartstring-tugging catalogue to fans
across his home country. And who could be better to hit the road with than
fellow pop artist, Jordan Knight! Kicking off on October 3rd in Ottawa, ON,
the pair will head out across Canada, playing nine shows from coast-to-coast
(details below). In the meantime, check out Jesse’s brand new second single, One
Last Night (featuring Nixon).
"I'm
really thrilled to be joining this tour,” Jesse says excitedly about the upcoming
shows with Jordan Knight. “Jordan is a
pop music legend in his own right and being able to support him is both an
honor and a privilege that I'm extremely looking forward to. It's been too
long since I've toured this amazing country, that I'm proud to call home, and
I can't wait to bring the songs from my new record Two, onto the live
stage."
Following up with his debut album Perfect Accident – which spawned a Top 5 radio anthem, a national headlining tour, and a UK record deal – Jesse returned with Two.
With captivating and emotionally resonant songs such as One Last Night,
Moment That We Stop and the
infectious first single, Heartbreak Coverup,
the romantically sensitive pop singer-songwriter is ready to take the world
by storm with this new record.
Heartbreak Coverup burst onto radio airwaves, cracking into
Billboard Canada’s Emerging Artist chart, where the single has sat at #2 for
15 weeks straight, right on the heels of Deadmau5. The single has been in the
Top 15 on the Hot AC chart (making Jesse the #3 Canadian, behind Hedley and
K’naan), Top 20 at Mainstream AC radio, and is in the Top 10 on the Overall
Canadian Airplay chart.
Jesse
honed his concert chops touring with the likes of Faber Drive, These
Kids Wear Crowns and Fefe Dobson. This time on the road he’ll be
revealing yet
another one of his many skill sets on tour; “I’ve been known for my guitar, but Two is very much a piano-based
album, so I’ll be playing both.”
