Some artists take years to finally reach a point where they’re ready to handle a headlining tour. But for Rachel Platten, it took the success of just one single, her ultra-catchy ‘1000 Ships,’ to catch the ears of her growing audience. This earned her slots opening for artists like David Cook and The Fray. Now after supporting these big acts in their national tours, Platten is headlining her own sojourn across the states. With the catchy wistfulness of songs like ‘Overwhelmed’ and ‘Nothing Ever Happens,’ Rachel aims to spread the love of her debut ‘Be Here’ over the next several months. Opening will be the mysterious and sensuous Madi Diaz. No New York dates have been announced yet, but she’ll be heading back home in June, so be sure and catch her then.
