Published June 17, 2008

Singer/songwriter/pianist Jon McLaughlin is previewing material from his forthcoming album during a coast-to-coast US tour.

The pop-rocker, who's been on the road since early June, will finish out the month with a couple of shows in his native Indiana and a Los Angeles gig opening for British singer/songwriter Duffy. He'll start up again July 10 in Boston and make his way across the US, playing clubs and theaters through late August. Details are listed below.
McLaughlin is gearing up for the Aug. 19 release of "OK Now," his sophomore set for Island Records. The lead single, "Beating My Heart," impacted the Hot AC radio format last week and is streaming at the performer's MySpace page.

The new record follows McLaughlin's 2007 major-label debut, "Indiana," which saw a huge spike in sales after he performed "So Close" at February's Academy Awards ceremony, according to a press release. McLaughlin sang that Oscar-nominated song in the Disney movie "Enchanted."

He also got plenty of exposure last year, touring with Sara Bareilles, Paolo Nutini and Kelly Clarkson, and performing on CBS-TV's "The Bold & the Beautiful" and NBC's "Today" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
