Press Release:

CELEBRATE “DATE NIGHT” WITH AN INTIMATE PERFORMANCE
BY MICHAEL BOLTON AT THE SOEC

Penticton, BC: Global Spectrum Facility Management has just confirmed an exclusive and intimate performance by Michael Bolton at the South Okanagan Events Centre in April.
After touring Europe in January and the US in March, Michael Bolton will stop in Penticton for a very special performance in one of only a handful of Canadian dates.

In his illustrious career spanning more than 20 years, Bolton has produced 18 studio albums – a feat few artists have achieved – sold over 53 million albums, won multiple Grammys for honours including Best Male Vocalist, earned a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame and sold out countless arena concerts. He has also paired with some of the best artists in the world, having penned hits for Barbra Streisand and KISS, shared duets with Ray Charles and Luciano Pavarotti, written songs with Bob Dylan, Lady Gaga and Ne-Yo, played guitar with B.B. King and had his music recorded on a track by hip-hop superstar Kanye West and megastar Jay-Z.

With his new record, One World One Love, a main objective was to craft a collection of memorable, uplifting songs that sounded fresh while maintaining the classic Michael Bolton vocal signature.  Equally important to Bolton was creating an antidote to the mood of gloom engulfing the planet. He says, “Every song had to make you feel good, because people have enough hardships to think about right now … ‘No heartbreak songs’ became our mantra!”

Bolton co-wrote most of the 12 songs in fluctuating combinations with the various producers, writers and guests. The album closer, “Crazy Love” is a beautifully spare cover of an old soul track by Van Morrison from his 1970 album Moondance. The other non-Bolton composition is the hauntingly romantic, “Invisible Tattoo,” written by Leonard Cohen’s sometime collaborator, Sharon Robinson.

Michael Bolton hasn’t lost the hunger and drive he first exhibited as a young songwriter years ago – his newest concert is expected to be an enormous success. Fans are urged to buy their tickets quickly as space is limited for this intimate performance setting.
