ldyjocelyn Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Buy tickets hereClay Aiken has never sounded more at home than he does singing the lushly arranged classics on his fifth studio album Tried and True - the international pop phenomenon's first album for Decca Records. The bulk of the album - which showcases Aiken's powerful tenor voice and considerable interpretive gifts - is made up of songs from the '50s and '60s that Aiken grew up listening to as a child in Raleigh, North CarolinaFirst Floor Seating ChartBalcony Seating Chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aikim Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 We're Back.Intro to Quiana: "She talks too much but she's looking real pretty."Many songs he's performed over the years that he's enjoyed singing live. Songs that have been Pop songs that he'd like to sing in this show but hard to do with this show and keep the vibe. So maybe should do what they'd sound like had they been recorded in 1952.The Way.
