Parachute continues tour in support of new album

Mercury Records group Parachute is at the halfway point of their high-profile North American tour with Kelly Clarkson, so what better time to look ahead at their co-headlining itinerary in January – as they continue on the road in support of their debut album LOSING SLEEP, featuring the new single “Under Control,” follow-up to the Top 15 Hot AC hit “She Is Love.”

Parachute’s tour with two-time Grammy winning mega-platinum artist Kelly Clarkson, opened October 6th at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, and concludes December 13th at the Hard Rock Live-Seminole in Hollywood, Florida. After three weeks of well-earned r&r, Parachute heads to the Paradise in Boston on January 7th, for a three-week tour. Every date on the tour will involve a food drive. (Please see all tour dates below.)

LOSING SLEEP scored a #1 iTunes album debut when it was released back in May – and “Under Control” got off to a fast start in September as one of the biggest-ever Single Of The Week releases ever to emerge from a #1 iTunes album. The Virginia-based band performed live on ABC’s Good Morning America that week, in advance of their New York City date at the Gramercy Theatre. LOSING SLEEP was reissued August 4th on iTunes in a deluxe version adding the “She Is Love” video, rare B-sides, acoustic versions, and live tracks. Fans can also enjoy Parachute’s holiday EP WINTERLOVE available as an iTunes exclusive now!

Parachute – Will Anderson (guitars, piano, lead vocals), Kit French (saxophone, key­boards, vocals), Alex Hargrave (bass), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), and Nate McFarland (lead guitar, vocals) – has enjoyed a breakthrough year ever since kicking off the annual six-hour New Year’s Eve celebration at Times Square in New York City with a live performance of “She Is Love.” Their label premiere took place at the Sundance Film Festival in early-February, and they kicked off their spring tour in March at South By Southwest (SXSW). “She Is Love” has been heard on the CW’s 90210, the WB’s One Tree Hill, and the CBS Early Show in May, where the band performed it live.
