User blog:BeccaSchmecca/Damian Spheeris in Real Life: Debut Tour

Damian Spheeris on Tour was the debut headlining concert tour by American singer Damian Spheeris, in support of his self-titled debut album. The tour began on June 23, 2011 in San Diego and concluded on August 18 in Chiba, comprising 26 concerts. Shows in the United States reached concert halls and amphitheaters, and international legs visited arenas. His mother (Dolores Spheeris; born March 24, 1963), who is also his manager, traveled with him throughout the tour.

Background and development
Spheeris released his debut album on February 18, 2011. The corresponding national tour was announced one week later. Tickets went on sale shortly after the announcement. Each show started between 5:00 and 6:30 in the evening.

The tour further ventured into Europe and Asia. Tickets for the performances in those countries went on sale in March for members of the official fan club, and then to the general public later in the month.

I forgot the set list.

Reaction
The tour has received generally positive reviews. For instance, a reviewer from The Washington Times wrote: "At just 16, Damian is already taking the music industry by storm, all thanks to his terrific voice and mind-blowing soundtrack." Someone writing for The Oklahoman says: "In 2009, a teenager won a talent show in his hometown with a terrific bilingual version of a Russell Watson classic. Nowadays, Damian is [officially] a worldwide sensation."
