Clint Black starts tour late August, Laura Bryna opens
Black starts in with 2 nights at the Cerritos Center in Cerritos, Cal. Opening for Black on select dates will be Laura Bryna, a new artist on Black's Equity Music Group label.
"While it is definitely a thrill to play large venues in front of thousands of people, for me, it is an even bigger rush to perform in a setting as intimate as a theatre," Black said. "There's a special element added to a theatre performance that is unequaled - being able to relate so closely with the audience. The added bonus for me on this tour is that I get to introduce Laura to country music fans. One of the reasons I started Equity was to discover newer acts and try to help make the road to success a little smoother for them."
Bryna's single, "Make-A-Wish," hits radio Sept. 17th and is from her debut CD, to be released on Nov. 20.
Black's current single, "The Strong One," will see its television premiere on Live With Regis and Kelly on Aug. 2. The song is from his forthcoming new studio album.

Clint Black may not be the commercial superstar he was in the late '80s/early '90s, but "Out of Sane" - his first studio project in five years - reveals the same high level song craftsmanship that brought him well deserved fame in the first place. These 12 songs - many written with Steve Wariner - prove Black is still quite the sharp songsmith.
Whether he's performing something strongly bluegrass instrumental-ed ("With Love") or pulling out his harmonica for the ...
Clint Black must sometimes feel like an alien fallen to earth when comparing his music -- such as the many fine new songs found on his latest "On Purpose" album - with what's in vogue on the mainstream country charts. Rather than partying till he pukes, as so many of his younger brethren are doing these days, Black oftentimes waxes philosophical. "Not everything's gonna go my way," he admits during the sometimes funny reflections found in "Better and Worse. ...
This is a four-song teaser from Clint Black, including a few covers of chestnuts. He countrifies The Hollies' "Long Cool Woman" and maintains a bouncy feel with the vocal chops to pull the classic off. He rocks a bit with a steady drum beat, but with sturdy fiddle playing, the country vibe is apparent. "You Still Get To Me" is another well sung Black duet with wife Lisa Hartman Black. Written by Black with Victoria Shaw, the soulful-oriented song is catchy, but too glossy sounding. ...
