Dave Koz Announces 2011 Tour Plans

On June 17th, Dave and his band will launch the summer leg of the "Hello Tomorrow Tour 2011" at One World Theatre in Austin, TX. The run will conclude with an August 14th headlining show at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Koz's hometown of Los Angeles.

Following the summer tour, he'll set sail on the SOLD-OUT Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruise to Alaska, which departs from Seattle, WA on August 26th and returns September 2nd. His 2012 Mediterranean Cruise is already on sale at http://www.davekozcruise.com. It will depart Barcelona, Spain on September 26th, 2012 and continue on to Naples, Rome and Florence, Italy as well as Nice and Toulon, France.

The Dave Koz and Friends Christmas Tour 2011 will kick off the day after Thanksgiving (November 25th) at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, GA. Trumpeter/composer/producer Rick Braun, South African singer/guitarist Jonathan Butler and Dutch saxophone star Candy Dulfer will join Koz for the 14th anniversary of the tour. The four will perform hits from their respective catalogues and jam on new arrangements of holiday favorites.

Koz's iTunes: Live from Soho will be released on iTunes June 14th. Recorded this spring at New York City's Apple Store Soho, the six-song collection features a variety of the gifted saxophonist's greatest hits, including two from Hello Tomorrow, his new album: "Put The Top Down," which spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Mediabase Smooth A/C chart - the longest stint at No. 1 of any of Koz's chart-topping hits - and his version of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David classic "This Guy's In Love With You," which hit No. 1 on the Breakouts for Hot Dance Club Play chart.
