Mandy Moore Announces 2020 Tour

There’s been some heavy speculation about why she was away from music for over a decade ::cough cough Ryan Adams:: but Mandy Moore is ready to get back to her roots as a singer. She has not plans to quit her wildly popular NBC show This is US, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award.  Her tour will kick off for the first of 29 shows on March 20, 2020 in Pittsburgh, PA and will continue on May 9 in Denver, CO.  She will also stop at New York’s Beacon Theatre, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, The Chicago Theatre, and San Francisco’s Warfield Theatre along the way.

Moore said in a statement, “It’s been over a decade since I’ve hit the road but I am thrilled to put together an intimate, elevated evening of new and old tunes, performed with a superb group of musicians. I want the show to have threads of what the writing and recording process was like with this band, almost like you’ve been invited in our living room for an inside glimpse. It just feels good to be sharing this side of me again in its purest form, a real side of me I have been itching to put back into the universe.”

Moore’s as-yet-untitled new album will be released next year via Verve. Thus far, she’s previewed the release with a couple of singles: “When I Wasn’t Watching” and “I’d Rather Lose”. You can here them here:
