Clay Aiken

Seven years after launching his career journey on American Idol Clay Aiken has never sounded more at home than he does singing the lushly arranged classics on his fifth studio album Tried and True. For Aiken, the album was about getting back to himself after a career performing more pop-oriented material. 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 Carolina. Aiken's delight in the material comes through not only in his vocal delivery but also in the way he connects to the emotional undercurrents running through each of these melodic ballads.

Report from the venue...

They are being um...not very nice about cameras. They are going to see if someone who has a M&G can get Jerome to talk to security and the ushers on a power trip.

[Marilyn]

Cellstream connection seems to be ok. LOTS of talking and chatting. Seem to be a lot of people.

[Tiffany]

Hey, That's good since it's a smaller venue and hope we can get clack.

[Marilyn]

Clay is starting late again!! I think the REAL start time is 8:10-8:15!!

No news on camera police.

It's a thursday probably low turnout. Always happens when we have a clear stream 

Just 700 seats here. Really intimate....

I'd love to be really intimate with Clay ......................

"Just 700 seats here. Really intimate....

I thought I would get the smallest venue with 995. Sounds nice.

[Marilyn]

Still nothing yet!!
