Idol Chatter & Voice Views

David Cook, American Idol’s Season 7 champ, has an EP out and shows planned, both virtual and live.

The tour is to support David’s new EP, “The Looking Glass,” which came out Friday.

The six-song collection includes three songs David had released as singles, including “Reds Turn Blue” about his struggles with anxiety and “Strange World” about the strange year that was 2020.

The Season 7 Idol champ celebrated the release with a full-band virtual show over the weekend and has two more coming up — a May 2 benefit for The National Brain Tumor Society and a May 16 acoustic session.

Tickets are available here and include a 48-hour replay window.

The fall tour kicks off Sept. 11 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Philly date is City Winery on Sept. 21; David will play Ram’s Head On Stage in Annapolis two nights later.

Tickets for the 11 tour dates are available through David’s website.
