Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw with very special guest Andy Grammer

Pop singer-songwriters Gavin DeGraw and Colbie Caillat are teaming up for a summer tour and they’re stopping in Northwest Arkansas! This highly anticipated tour features pop sensation Andy Grammer as the opening act.

With one of the most recognizable voices of our time, combined with blue eyed soul vocals, freewheeling melodies and earthy charm; singer, songwriter, and musician Gavin DeGraw, has enjoyed success since breaking through in 2003 with his debut album, Chariot, which sold over a million copies, earned platinum certification, and yielded three hit singles: “I Don’t Want To Be,” “Follow Through,” and the title-track, “Chariot.” He followed that up with his self-titled second album, which debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart and at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart in 2008 (earning Gavin his first Top 10 album and spawning the hit singles “In Love With A Girl” and the gold-certified “We Belong Together.” Gavin released 2009’s Free as a gift to die-hard fans clamoring for recorded versions of his live favorites. On Gavin’s new album SWEETER, the New York native experimented with new sounds, thanks, in part, to collaborations with a host of top-notch producers, including fellow groove-minded piano player OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Adele), Butch Walker (Weezer, Avril Lavigne), Eric Rosse (Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos), and Ron Aniello (Barenaked Ladies, Matt Nathanson).

Colbie Caillat burst onto the scene in 2007 with her first album, “Coco” which debuted at No. 5 and raced its way past the multi-Platinum barrier. Her first single, “Bubbly,” caught a generation’s imagination and has become one of the best-selling digital tracks of all time. Billboard took note by naming Caillat its “Breakthrough Artist of the Year.” Fittingly, her 2009 album “Breakthrough” broke at No. 1 and was honored with two Grammy nominations; that same year, Caillat won two Grammys® for her collaborations with Jason Mraz and Taylor Swift. Caillat has sung the national anthem on the kickoff to the 2011 NFL season and performed at the Nobel Peace Concert in Oslo. She and her original music have been featured in commercials for cotton and in ABC Family Channel’s “25 Days of Christmas,” whose theme song she wrote and arranged. Her embrace has stretched to include work for honorable causes including the Surfrider Foundation, Save the Music and the Humane Society, for which she has recently become a spokesperson. Listening to “All of You,” the third and most intriguing release from Colbie Caillat, is like turning a page of a book you’ve savored for two chapters only to be surprised and delighted by what awaits in Chapter 3.
