Australia Loves Groban
Sunday Times
July 5, 2007
The highly anticipated concerts for singing sensation Josh Groban went on sale last month and due to demand extra concerts were added around Australia.
Groban's "Awake" Tour includes his 6-piece band, full orchestra and choir.
The NY Times raved in their review of Groban’s sold out Madison Square Garden Show in New York City earlier this year: "He is a crooner with the power to knock the arena senseless," (March 13, 2007).
Groban stormed on to the music scene in 2001 with the release of his self-titled album, which was followed by "Closer" which included the hit single, "You Raise Me Up." Groban, a 26-year old Los Angeles native, has sold in excess of 15 million albums.
Also just announced as special guest on the tour is the exceptionally talented Katie Noonan. Katie will perform tracks from her highly acclaimed debut solo album Skin.
We know and love Noonan as singer with the hugely successful Brisbane-born outfit George, a band she formed with her brother Tyrone back in 1996. Their 2002 recording, Polyserena, won the Best New Artist Album at the 2002 ARIA Awards and sold over double platinum. Noonan’s mesmerising stage presence and classically trained voice won her cult status in Australia. Now George is on an extended break, allowing her to record and tour as a solo artist.
