Stevie Announces Extended Fall 2015 Run Of “Songs In The Key Of Life Performance” Tour

Posted by

Stevie has announced the extension and final run of dates for his SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE PERFORMANCE tour due to popular demand! He will bring the critically-acclaimed performance, which is a live adaptation of the iconic Songs in the Key of Life album, to 20 North American cities beginning September 30 in Montreal, QC. Produced by Wonder Productions and Live Nation and promoted by Live Nation, the tour will continue to cities such as Washington, DC, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Toronto, Chicago, Detroit and Kansas City before concluding in New York City at Madison Square Garden on November 24.

 

Citi card members will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning Tuesday, August 18 at 12:00 p.m. local time through Citi’s Private Pass Program in select cities. For complete pre-sale details, visit CitiPrivatePass.com. General tickets for select cities will be available on LiveNation.com beginning Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. local time. Please see below for full details.

 

These 20 dates follow the tour’s initial extended run of dates in March 2015; those dates were added as a result of high demand from the tour’s initial run in the late fall of 2014. While returning to many cities, many fans will have the chance to see the show for the first time in their area.

 

This leg will mark the final performances in a live tour setting in the U.S. The final show at Madison Square Garden will bring the tour full circle as Stevie concludes the tour at the same venue it began on November 6, 2014.

 

Rolling Stone declared that “the show is possibly 2014’s greatest testament to the limitless potential of American music itself,” while Billboard stated that “the music still resonates” and that Wonder provides an “electrifying concert… and had the audience roaring and standing on its feet.”

Stevie’s Albums Are Now Mastered For iTunes

Posted by

Universal Music Enterprises has re-mastered Stevie Wonder’s all-time best selling hits collection, Stevie Wonder: The Definitive Collection. The 21-track album includes all of his greatest hits, from the live 1963 smash, “Fingertips (Part 2)” and “Uptight,” through “I Was Made to Love Her,” “For Once in My Life,” “My Cherie Amour,” “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” “Superstition,” “Living for the City,” “Sir Duke,” “I Just Called to Say I Love You” and “Part Time Lover.”

With a catalog that is one of the richest treasure troves in American music, his songs are still revered and influential today and his longevity as one of the world’s most respected and beloved artists is well-earned.

Last year, UMe made 16 of Wonder’s albums available for high-resolution audio at iTunes (http://smarturl.it/StevieWonderiTunes) and other online retailers to commemorate his Songs in the Key of Life tour in the fall, from 1962’s The Jazz-Soul of Little Stevie through his celebrated 1985 LP, In Square Circle, and others. Added to the previously available 11 titles, including Music of My Mind (1972),Talking Book (1972), Fulfillingness’ First Finale (1974) and Songs in the Key of Life (1974), that brings the total of Wonder titles available as MFiT releases through UMe to 27 of his 30-album catalog, spanning every era of his groundbreaking career.
