John Legend
With Special Guest Estelle

Grammy-winning multi-platinum recording artist John Legend reopens Bass Concert Hall with London-based emerging singer/rapper/songwriter Estelle appearing as John’s special guest. The first artist signed to John’s HomeSchool Records label, Estelle rocketed to #1 on the UK charts with her single “American Boy” and is featured on “No Other Love,” a key track on John’s new album Evolver.

John Legend’s upcoming tour dates mark the artist’s first major concert series since his massively successful world tour in 2007 (captured on the Live From Philadelphia CD and DVD). News of John’s first tour dates in the New Year comes hot on the heels of Evolver’s recent arrival in the #4 slot on the Billboard 200 best-selling albums chart.

A crossover sensation, Evolver has already reached the #1 position on America’s R&B Album chart, #1 on the Album Retailer chart and #1 on the Digital Albums chart. One of the most eagerly awaited releases of 2008, Evolver is John Legend’s first full-length studio album in two years. In addition to Estelle, guests on Evolver include OutKast’s Andre 3000, R&B/pop superstar Brandy and John’s longtime collaborator Kanye West. Songs on Evolver include the single “Green Light” (featuring Andre 3000), “It’s Over” (featuring Kanye West), “Everybody Knows,” “No Other Love” (featuring Estelle), “Satisfaction,” “This Time,” “Cross The Line,” “I Love, You Love,” “Good Morning,” “If You’re Out There,” and “Quickly” (featuring Brandy).

“Legend triumphs. Vintage sounds, witty storytelling, romantic optimism and expressive vocals make him one of R&Bs most engaging new stars.”
