News regarding The Script’s upcoming South African tour is getting better and better as the weeks go by and I can finally confirm that American Idol winner Phillip Phillips will be joining the Irish rockers on their South African tour in February next year.
His debut single ‘Home’ went quadruple platinum and all eyes were on Phillip Phillips in 2012. Centering on the American Idol season 11 winner’s rich, raspy vocals and masterful guitar skills, ‘Home’ served as the lead single from ‘The World from the Side of the Moon’ – a platinum selling album that shot to number 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart upon its release in November 2012. His debut album, produced by Gregg Wattenberg (Train, O.A.R) also features the platinum single ‘Gone,Gone,Gone’ and ‘Where We Came From’. Phillips spent most of 2013 on the road with Matchbox 20 and John Mayer for his Born and Raised Tour.
Performing live offers a sense of freedom that Phillips finds essential to making music. He commented ‘we just go out there and jam out and try to make it different and exciting, instead of playing the songs exactly how they sound on the album. Its all about real musicians playing real music that we’re passionate about and just having a good time, and hopefully we’re giving the crowd a good time too’.
I LOVED Phillip Phillips’ latest album ‘Behind The Light’ and I cannot wait to see him perform those tracks live.
