The Grammy Award winning American rock band Train will kick off their first
US tour in support of the group's new studio album,
California
37 (released yesterday). The tour kicks off on July 26 at the
Time
Warner Center in Charlotte NC, with support Mat Kearney and Andy Grammer on select dates of the tour. Full tour dates to follow.
In addition, the band are supporting the release of
California 37 with a
variety of select national television appearances (including a weeklong
residency as house band on "Rachael Ray") and the launch of "California
37," the third varietal
from Train's award-winning Save Me, San Francisco Wine Company.
The much awaited successor to 2009's multi-platinum
Save Me, San Francisco
(which showcased 2010's "Hey, Soul Sister," the top-selling song of 2010),
California 37
is available everywhere now.
Train recorded
California
37 in
San Francisco and Los Angeles with Butch Walker and Espionage producing.
Released
as a digital download in January, "Drive By" has become Train's latest
bona fide international sensation
and is top 5 across the world and #1 in Germany, Netherlands, Finland,
India, New Zealand and Switzerland. In the
US the record's currently top 10 at iTunes and #13 on the Billboard
Hot 100. "Drive By" has already sold over 1.5 downloads worldwide.
"Drive
By" continues to climb
America 's radio charts and has entered the Top 10 at both the AAA and
HOT AC formats, selling more than 1 million copies since its release.
The "Drive By" video premiered on
February 18 on VH1, where it has gone into rotation, with support from
VEVO.
Train's
"Drive By," as well as "Hey, Soul Sister," were featured on an episode
of "90210," originally broadcast on March 13, 2012.
Train,
who performed "Drive By" on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on
March 26, will be making select television appearances, including
a historic weeklong residency as house band on "Rachael Ray" which
began April 16 and goes through April 20, in support of
California
37.
The
group also performed on "Dancing with the Stars" last night, with
subsequent TV appearances slated for "The Today Show" (April 19), "The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (April 23), "The Talk" (April 24), and "The
View" (May 22). The group will also appear on " Sesame Street " (with
air dates TBD).
Also, in a first, Shazam exclusively streamed
California 37
to 200 million fans of their wildly popular
mobile application a week prior to street date. Preorder sales of the
album exploded at online and digital retailers along side Shazam-enabled
TV commercials running the entire week driving to the stream on shows
including The Voice and Biggest Loser with
partner Brita.
Train will launch its new album with " California
37," a brand-new Cabernet Sauvignon from the Save
Me, San Francisco Wine Company. The much-anticipated third varietal
from the acclaimed craft winery, " California 37" is a worthy addition
to previous varietals, "Drops of Jupiter" (Petite Syrah)
and "Calling All Angels" (Chardonnay). A portion of the proceeds from
the varietal will go to the
San Francisco charity Family House, which provides temporary housing to
families of seriously ill children. For more information please visit
familyhouseinc.org.
Train's
lead singer, Pat Monahan recently made a memorable appearance singing
"Marry Me," as a duet with Martina
McBride for the on-air nuptials of a New Jersey couple during the 47th
Annual Academy of Country Music Awards (aired Sunday, April 1).
Train
just finished a round of live shows in
San Francisco , part a special hometown run of intimate club shows that
began on April 10 at Café Du Nord and finished on April 15 at the
Fillmore. In addition, Barry Zito,
three-time all star and Cy Young award-winning pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, joined Train onstage during their last
San Francisco show at the Fillmore.
The multi-platinum band Train made its mark on music
history with the Grammy Award-winning song "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)"
and chart-topping singles like "Meet Virginia"
and "Calling All Angels," earning its third Grammy in 2011 for the
worldwide smash "Hey, Soul Sister" from
Save Me, San Francisco. The top-selling single of 2010, "Hey, Soul Sister" hit #1 at radio in the
US and in 15 countries abroad.
Save Me,
San Francisco has sold over one million albums worldwide
and over ten million tracks. In addition to taking the sales and radio
worlds by storm, Train has made numerous television
appearances, performing on the NFC Championship Game, American Music
Awards, the Grammy Nomination Concert, Crossroads, The Today Show, The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Monday Night Football, A&E Private
Sessions, America's Got Talent, The View, Dancing With
The Stars, and Live With Regis and Kelly, Ellen DeGeneres Show, The
