Maxwell is officially confirmed for over twenty forthcoming shows this summer thanks to his album “Blacksummers’night” making its way to stores. The tour, as previously reported on Singersroom, follows Maxwell’s celebrated fall 2008 tour where the former “Now” singer debuted several cuts from “Blacksummers’night”. Those songs, including the lead single “Pretty Wings,” and other cuts like “Bad Habits” and “Cold” will likely be heard this time around. Slated to kick off June 17 in Grand Rapids, MI, Maxwell’s summer trek will make its way through Los Angeles, Cleveland, Tampa, Austin and Milwaukee before coming to a close July 31 in Miami, Florida. According to Columbia Records, Maxwell will also headline the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans July 4, appear at the BET Awards in Los Angeles June 28; and perform on the CBS “Late Show with David Letterman” on July 10.
