LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ AEG Live) - Multi-talented star Raven-Symone is inviting her fans all over
America to join her as the singer brings her cross-country 'Pajama Party' tour to arenas nationwide beginning April 26 in Orlando, FL and continuing for 55 dates through July 13 in Sacramento, CA. Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early to shows wearing their favorite pajamas for a fun-filled pre-concert slumber party leading up to Raven-Symone's performance - on a stage being designed to replicate her own house. Opening the show will be Raven-Symone's fellow Disney star Mitchel Musso, known to fans for his role as
Oliver Oken on the smash hit show 'Hannah Montana.' Musso will be performing original hip-hop/R&B songs from his own forthcoming album.
In addition, recording artists B5 will be performing their hit single 'Get'cha Head in the Game' off the High School Musical soundtrack and Interscope recording artists Clique Girlz will also take the stage. Tickets for the tour will go on-sale beginning March 14th and fans should check www.RavenSymonePresents.com for local on sale dates and information. The 'Pajama Party' tour is being nationally promoted by AEG Live.
'My message is in this music and everyone associated with the album captured what I'm trying to say,' says Raven-Symone. That positive attitude explains why Raven-Symone is both hugely popular and also a role model. That mix of talent and integrity is the reason the longest running Disney Channel series, That's So Raven (which she produced), has earned numerous honors including two NAACP Image Awards, two Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards and a primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program.
As an innovative entrepreneur, Raven-Symone created a "how to" online destination for teens and tweens, RavenSymonePresents.com. The site features an easy to use video player and playlist where users can discover new content. The video clips feature Raven-Symone personally demonstrating an array of useful tips and project ideas for her fans and supporters.
In addition, Raven-Symone has teamed with I Love All Access to provide her fans with an unforgettable VIP ticket package experience at every show including a photo opportunity, backstage tour, party, and the best seats in the house. This special VIP ticket package is available exclusively at www.RavenSymonePresents.com
The tour launches in support of the April 29 release of Raven-Symone's self-titled Hollywood Records release, which features some of R&B and hip-hop's hottest producers including Eric Hudson, Sean Garrett (Fergie, Beyonce), The J.A.M. and acclaimed songwriting/production team The Clutch (Timbaland, Ciara). The forthcoming album is led by the Clutch-produced first single, 'Double Dutch Bus,' a cover of the classic early 80's hip-hop party jam of the same name, and which is also featured in Disney's College Road Trip. The new film, starring Raven-Symone and Martin Lawrence, debuted at No 1 at the box office this week and was executive-produced by Raven-Symone herself. 'Double Dutch Bus' is just one of the upbeat and festive tunes on Raven-Symone. The flirty track, 'What Are You Gonna Do,' was produced by Sean Garrett, while the singer's reflective side is showcased on the soulful mid-tempo 'In the Pictures,' which talks honestly about living in the public eye.
