Ben Rector announces national headlining tour "Magic: The Tour"

28-date US trek follows June album release, kicks off Sept. 19 in Memphis, TN / The Band CAMINO to open for Rector

Independent pop singer-songwriter Ben Rector brings 'Magic' to life with "Magic: The Tour" this fall. Launching Sept. 19 at Memphis' Orpheum Theatre, this 28-date national headlining tour brings the spellbinding, piano-fueled pop of his latest album 'Magic' (out June 22) to life. The tour will crisscross the country through November, stopping in New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Austin, and sees Rector returning to Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium for a two-night, hometown stand. The Band CAMINO will open all dates for Rector.

Pre-sales for "Magic: The Tour" will go on sale beginning Tuesday, June 12, with the general public on-sale starting Friday, June 15. A complete list of dates is available below, or visit: https://www.benrectormusic.com

"Magic: The Tour" follows Rector's 2015-2016 tours "The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour" and "The Brand New Tour," a 73-date total run that included a sold-out two-night stand at the Ryman Auditorium, Atlanta's The Tabernacle, Chicago's House of Blues and more.

Filled with sweeping synths and upbeat, keyboard-driven tunes, the set promises the "energetic [and] ebullient" (Parade) tracks from his Tony Hoffer (Beck, M83, Air) and John Fields (Goo Goo Dolls, Jonas Brothers, Pink)-produced album 'Magic' -- "Drive," "Old Friends," and "Duo" -- plus fan favorites like the Billboard chart-topping hit "Brand New" and "When A Heart Breaks." 

Watch the video for "Old Friends" from Rector's new album 'Magic' which was shot inside the garage of the Tulsa, OK home where he grew up, and features Rector reuniting 13 years later with his band from high school: http://hyperurl.co/BROldFriends
