Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Crystal Bowersox

Crystal Bowersox, runner-up from Season 9 of American Idol, is launching an acoustic tour in the fall.

And both of the nearby dates will include Season 4 standout from The Voice, Caroline Glaser.

I reported earlier that Crystal had scheduled a Nov. 16 show at the World Cafe Live in Philly, with tickets priced at $27.50.

Now she’s added a Nov. 18 show at the Baltimore Soundstage, with advance tickets selling for $20.

And both dates will feature Caroline as an opening act.

Crystal is in the middle of a Pledge Music campaign to fund a new EP called “Promises,” and it’s looking promising.

As of Saturday, with 22 days left in the campaign, Crystal had already raised 81 percent of her fundraiser goal. Head here for more on that campaign and the rewards that are being offered to those who donate.

Caroline Glaser

She also has two dates scheduled nearby in December — the 19th and the 20th at Ram’s Head Live in Annapolis. Those nights she’ll be opening for Carbon Leaf. Tickets are $29.50.

Oh, and Caroline has a pledge music campaign under way as well, to fund a followup EP called “Better Days.” With 18 days to go, she’s already at 179 percent of her goal. But, hey, you can still pledge. Head here for the details.
