NEW YORK (ww.tobylightman.com) - Drawing comparisons to diverse artists such as
Sheryl Crow and
Alicia Keys, Toby Lightman has landed the 2nd leg of the
Gavin DeGraw
tour. The pair, who has toured together since the end of May, will
continue to captivate audiences all over the U.S., including a long
overdue string of West Coast dates.
The petite yet powerful vocalist is gearing up for the launch of her 2nd single Real Love, (a cover of the Mary J. Blige
classic) which will impact radio on June 28th. Lightman's rendition of
the Blige tune is not only a bold statement but also a vehicle to show
off her incredible pipes and soulful delivery.
Lightman's
critically acclaimed debut entitled "Little Things" was released on
March 30th. Since release, Toby's appeared several times on national
TV, including performances on the Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Last Call with Carson Daly and the Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. According to Entertainment Weekly, "Lightman's debut suggests bigger things to come," while the Boston Globe reports, "Lightman's confidence is a thing of beauty, as is her songwriting skill."
Toby
is firmly establishing herself as a true live act. She's previously
toured with credible artists such as Howie Day, Josh Kelly and Edwin
McCain.
