Gold-selling pop singer, songwriter and musician ANDY GRAMMER has been invited to perform as a special guest on the Colbie Caillat/Gavin DeGraw tour. It begins May 25 in South Carolina, with 20 shows confirmed through June 29, including a June 2 show at Rumsey Playfield in New York City’s Central Park. GRAMMER’s new single “Fine By Me” continues its ascent to #14 this week at Adult Pop radio, while the video has jumped to #10 on VH1’s “Top 20” weekly video countdown. See the video here.
This won’t be the first pairing for GRAMMER and Caillat. Known for his vibrant pop/rock/soul mix and free-flowing vocal delivery, he toured last year with her as his debut gold-selling and platinum-bound single “Keep Your Head Up,” from his acclaimed self-titled debut album (S-Curve Records), broke into the top 5 at Adult Pop Radio and hit #2 on the “VH1 Top 20 Countdown” Caillat is a featured guest on his just-released live EP ANDY GRAMMER–LIVE FROM L.A. (available exclusively on iTunes), where she duets with GRAMMER on “Fine By Me.”
Says GRAMMER: “I opened for Colbie on tour last year. One night about half way through the tour, she stopped me while I was passing her bus and was like, ‘We should do song together in my set.’ I tried to think of a cover on the spot or a song of hers I knew and she was like, ‘’Fine By Me is my favorite.’” This is like the pretty popular girl in high school saying ‘do you want to come sit at my lunch table? I stumbled over my words and said ‘yes… Yes let’s do that. We sang it pretty much every night so when the idea of the EP came up, I knew I had to ask her to be on it.”
In other ANDY GRAMMER news, the singer–who began as a street performer in Santa Monica, CA–made a 3/15 return visit to “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” performing “Fine By Me;” he’s been invited to take part in the April 20 for “We Walk The Line: A Celebration of the Music of Johnny Cash” along with the likes of Kenny Chesney, Kris Kristofferson, Chris Cornell, Ronnie Dunn, John Hiatt, Amy Lee, Shooter Jennings, Lucinda Williams, Ray LaMontagne and Jamey Johnson; and GRAMMER’s unique live cover of Rihanna’s “We Found Love” was debuted exclusively on ARTISTdirect.com and can be seen here.
